Dark Sector Preview - PlayStation 3

Dark Sector, due out on PlayStation 3 in June, is a third-person shooter set in a radiation ridden, decaying city, where you'll have to take on both enemy soldiers and monsters. Your character's a special agent type, with an array of weapons at his disposal, and there's a vaguely sci-fi feel to it all. So far, so Gears of War - but there's also a strong element of Zelda-like puzzling to work through here. How does that all fit together? Well, we've had a play already and we've got a two-page preview full of snippets and pictures - download the new issue to read the Dark Sector preview now!

Dark Sector preview for PlayStation 3
What do get if you cross Zelda with Resident Evil 4? The answer, ambitiously, is Dark Sector, coming to a PS3 near you soon. While that description may be dismissed as an idle boast, developer Digital Extremes is not without a lengthy heritage, boasting some 14 years in the business. The last couple of these have been dedicated to the mysterious Dark Sector, which was officially the first game announced for this generation of consoles. Information has been sporadic ever since, but the game was recently unveiled at a secret London location, and proved to be an interesting mix of styles.
Story-wise, it’s a cod sci-fi affair in which the central protagonist, elite Black Ops agent, Hayden Tenno, wakes up with a great big spinning blade biologically melded to his arm. Known as a glaive, it’s certainly a conversation starter, albeit something of an eyesore. However, in time you learn to love the glaive - essentially a pointier boomerang - mastering its particular skills as you fight your way round the ruined city of Lasria, which hides a secret dating back to the Cold War.
