Homefront Release Date: March 8, 2011 | Genre: First-person shooter | Also on: PS3, Xbox 360 Homefront is an upcoming first-person shooter video game developed by Kaos Studios and published by THQ.

American malls, suburbs and city streets are now battlegrounds as the civilian resistance fights for freedom. The game immerses players in an interactive and cinematic FPS experience where they will assume an infantry role or take command of a wide variety of aerial and ground vehicles. In addition to the single-player experience, Homefront will deliver a robust multiplayer mode that introduces in-game currency to allow players to purchase weapons, gear and vehicles.

F.E.A.R. 3 Release Date: May 2011 | Genre: First-person shooter | Also on: PS3, Xbox 360 Following along the storyline started with the previous games, F.E.A.R. 3 is pitched as a “heart-pounding paranormal horror first-person shooter”, packed with all the usual compelling narrative and intense combat we’ve come to expect. Point Man, the genetically-enhanced super soldier introduced in the first game, is now playable in single-player or co-op mode, while his brother, the psychic cannibal Paxton Fettel is also playable if you want to take things into co-op. Both have distinctly different abilities that affect their own play as well as the experience of their co-op partner. Long-time fans will know that these two are the sons of Alma, so you can expect a few more scares from the spooky and psychically powerful girl. The game had originally been lined-up for a winter 2010 debut, but back in August 2010 it was moved into 2011 before getting a firm March 25 release date in the U.S. Unfortunately, that date has been moved once more until sometime in May. At least horror fans have the highly anticipated Dead Space 2 coming out this month.
