Announced as a PSN console-exclusive planned for release on April 22nd in NA, Lead & Gold: Gangs of the Wild West promises to excite fans of shooters and the rough and tumble days of the old frontier. Coming across like a Western Team Fortress, the online game will encourage team collaboration and reward players for cooperative play.

Good news for fans of terrifying killer children, as F.E.A.R is set to make a return – but this time under the direction of horror legend John Carpenter.

We speak to SpecialEffect, a UK based charity whose primary aim is to include people with disabilities in gaming, an industry that, despite perpetuating the concept of allowing people to experience fantastic things, routinely exclude those who would benefit the most from simulation.

It’s a fascinating insight into what charities like SpecialEffect are doing to change the lives of young and old people alike through the wonder of gaming.

Codemasters have announced that Stuart Broad will be the face of International Cricket 2010. The rising star of English cricket shot to fame in 2009 for his notable performances during the 2009 Ashes which included a man of the match performance for the fifth test.

The Nintendo Wii seems to be the thorn in the side of the PlayStation Move. Hardly an article goes by without a comparison, and Nintendo of America President ‘The Reginator’ is milking that for all its worth.

Saying that, we do think his trash talk is covering up a hint of worry – and perhaps even embarrassment. The Move has already demonstrated a level of accuracy the Wii can only dream of.

However, the two motion controllers do share some common ground – and Wii ports are only a matter of time. Here are Team Attitude’s list of the five games we really don’t want to see.

The Crysis 2 hype machine has well and truly started up over the last few weeks. Upgraded Nanosuit, ruined city and apparently the best graphics people have ever seen are making us salivate with anticipation.
