Brink Review

Brink is a futuristic first-person shooter set in a time of great disparity for the world. It follows the story of a fictional, yet possibly realistic, man-made structure called the Ark. The Ark exists today as a last refuge for humanity after a period of global warming caused much of the present world to be destroyed. At first, the Ark functioned as a research facility, but when funding diminished, was put on halt. It was revived as a tourist location, built for the rich and famous, but eventually that ended as well. When you play Brink, it is the year 2045, and the island has become overrun with refugees. You must choose a side, either the Resistance or Security, and fight for what you believe is right.

Lastly, they announced one of the most anticipated remakes/sequels ever, Twisted Metal. This year, no one really knows what exactly to expect, but here's a bit of speculation on my behalf.
