We grab a squad of powerful alien creatures and explore the planet Cryos. While the name of the game does share the word "spore," one thing that Maxis wanted to make clear was that this is not a sequel or an expansion pack for the PC game Spore, which was released two years ago. The idea for Darkspore spawned before Spore was even finished, and the new action role-playing game is meant to leverage the powerful editor that was created for Spore. Darkspore is a hack-and-slash RPG that is similar to Diablo but with a sci-fi theme instead of the traditional fantasy setting. We went down to EA at Redwood Shores to get some hands-on time with the game and found it to be easily accessible and quite fun when played with up to four players cooperatively online.

Insomniac guides us through a demo of its newly unveiled co-op Ratchet game. Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One was unveiled last night at Sony's Gamescom 2010 press conference. There are two big features that separate this Ratchet from previous games in the series. For one, it's the first title to come from Insomniac's offshoot North Carolina studio, which the developer opened up in early 2009. But more importantly, All 4 One will give you the chance to play through a Ratchet game with co-op supporting up to four players. We just had a look at this new spin on the series courtesy of Insomniac, which gave us a chance to learn quite a bit more about it than what we had gleaned from last night's press conference.

We learn that seeing isn't always believing when it comes to this sequel's clever storytelling. At last month’s San Diego Comic-Con, there was a hands-on demo of Dragon Age II available to anyone willing to wait in line under the San Diego sun. With a dual appreciation for delightful weather and slaying evil Darkspawn, we wasted little time queuing up for a turn--the result being this first-look preview of one of our more highly anticipated role-playing games. If you haven’t read that story, the short and sweet of it is that the demo was a brief, bloody look at Dragon Age II’s combat that seemed to suggest a more fast-paced, visceral style than the first game. However, BioWare recently showed us an extended version of that same demo that cast the entire experience in a much different light. Game Spot Previews

Cole MacGrath makes his first public playable appearance at Gamescom 2010 in Germany, where a new demo also shows him facing off against a huge enemy in a new section from the game. Gamescom 2010 is the first chance that the general public will have had to go hands-on with inFamous 2, in a section from E3 in Los Angeles. Behind closed doors, Sony was also offering members of the press a glimpse at a new section of the game. The section, which takes place in the game's new location of New Marias, sees Cole starting out in the city swamps, before fighting a barrage of enemy reapers and ultimately meeting the monstrous ravenger, a huge new enemy for inFamous 2.

We check out the new Guerrilla Warfare and Operation modes from Guerrilla’s futuristic squad-based shooter. Yes, Killzone 3 is a great looking game, but what does it feel like to play? Developer Guerrilla was showing off two new multiplayer modes at Gamescom 2010, both of which add a unique twist to familiar gameplay ideas. A host of improvements have also been implemented under-the-hood, with Guerrilla promising a re-written matchmaking system, better bots, and improved integration with Killzone.com. Game Spot Previews

 The game formerly known as Project Dust takes shape and reveals more of its god game mechanics. If you saw the Project Dust--now called From Dust-- trailer at E3, you were probably left scratching your head wondering what exactly it was that you were looking at. It was evident that the game had roots in the god game genre but to what extent wasn’t exactly clear until our demo of the game at this year’s Gamescom. We’ve seen how you’ll be able to manipulate the environment by grabbing and transplanting different elements of land, water, and fire scattered across an island. We’ve seen how indigenous tribes factor into the game and how you can use your powers to help, or seemingly hinder, them. But most importantly, we’ve seen what the ultimate goal is for this downloadable god game that will be released on XBLA, PSN, and other downloadable gaming services like Steam in March 2011.
