Screenshot of Codemasters' Hei st for PC, Xbox 360, PS3 - Image 1A tiny more than half a year ago, we saw some very impressive visual assets released by Codemasters to their high-speed, action-packed title Hei t (Personal computer, Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3). With recent word from the developers that the game will be hitting stands pretty soon, we were able to get our hands on the first ever Hei t trailer video.

While Grand Theft Auto 4 seemed to focus on the darker and grittier side of contemporary sandbox gaming, it looked like Hei t will be taking a more relaxed and even wacky approach to it. The trailer also confirms the projected June release date for it as well as an amusing look at how the game will play out.

Anyway, don’t take our word for it. You can watch the trailer, accessible through the source link we’ve provided below, and judge it yourself. In any case, we hope you enjoy the trailer as much as we had.

Bethesda Softworks - Image 1Two major game developers have announced a newly-forged partnership. Bethesda Softworks and Splash Damage Studios made public a pact that’s been recently inked for the creation of a new game.

Both companies expressed praise for each other’s work in a press release that they have just put out. Details on what exactly the new game is remain shady, but the two entities state that it will incorporate each other’s specializations in the art of game making.

Bethesda has been around in the industry for quite a while now, throwing out such AAA games us The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and the upcoming Fallout 3 (Xbox 360, PS3, PC). Splash Damage, on the other hand, has shined with multiplayer shooters like Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Personal computer).
