Call of Duty: Black Ops
Black Ops is a first-person shooter. The player assumes the role of a foot soldier who can wield various firearms, of which two at a time can be carried; throw grenades and other explosives; and use other equipment as weapons. A player close enough to an enemy can kill with one blow. A character can take three stances: standing, crouching, or prone; each affects rate of movement, accuracy, and stealth. The player can dive prone from a standing position when running. The player can momentarily sprint but will then grow tired. The screen glows red to indicate damage to a player’s health, which goes away over time. When the character is within the blast radius of a live grenade, a marker indicates the direction of the grenade, helping the player to flee or throw it back. Among the game’s weapons are crossbows with bolts and explosive ammunition, Dragon’s Breath rounds and ballistic knives
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood
The game introduces a brand-new management system: the player can recruit new members by destroying any of twelve “Borgia towers” around Rome where papal troops are stationed, then rescuing disgruntled citizens in their districts from harassing guards. The player as Ezio can then send them to assignments around Europe or call them for support during missions (if they are not already occupied). Tasking the novice Assassins is essential to make them gain experience, and the player will be able to customize their appearance, skills and weapon training by spending the skill points they’ve earned. Assassins can die on missions, from which they will not return. The player will master new gadgets, such as Leonardo da Vinci’s parachute, which can be used when jumping from tall buildings. Along with poison darts, a faster acting poison, a crossbow, and the ability to hold and throw heavier weapons like axes.

Riccitiello stated that Criterion Games, developers of EA’s own Burnout series, was working on a “revolutionary” addition to the Need for Speed franchise, stating “We don’t have a plan right now for a separate major launch on Burnout, because the team doing it is working on a revolutionary take on Need for Speed.” It was also reported that the game was scheduled for release in Q4 2010. It was officially revealed as Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit at EA’s Media Briefing during E3 2010. with a trailer which showed a high-speed police chase involving three different racers. The trailer was followed by a live demo of the game on stage between creative director Craig Sullivan as a cop and producer Matt Webster as a racer. According to Riccitiello, the game was in development for two years.
Fallout New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas takes place during the year 2281, 4 years after the events of Fallout 3, and 204 years after the Great War of 2077, making this installment chronologically the latest in the series thus far. The game is set in post-apocalyptic Las Vegas, Nevada, and the Mojave Desert, which is known as the “Mojave Wasteland”, is roughly the same size as the “Capital Wasteland” in Fallout 3 and is spread across parts of real-world Nevada, Arizona and California. Unlike other cities in the Fallout series, Las Vegas was not struck directly by a nuclear attack. Its buildings remain intact, and mutation of its inhabitants is minimal. The city is divided between various factions, most notably the New California Republic (NCR), returning from Fallout 2 but now bloated and mismanaged; the slave-driving, Roman Army-styled Caesar’s Legion; and the various factions of New Vegas itself. Landmarks featured in Fallout: New Vegas include the Hoover Dam, which supplies power to the city and the HELIOS One solar energy plant.
