Atlus has revealed that ACE Team is working on a sequel to quirky first-person brawler Zeno Clash.

The company will be publishing the title in early 2013 on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Atlus also released the first trailer for the game, which will probably boggle your mind if you've never played the original.

· Summer of Arcade. Each year Summer of Arcade delivers the most anticipated downloadable games of the season, and this year is no exception. With five back-to-back weeks of unparalleled releases, the fifth annual Summer of Arcade includes:

“Deadlight” (Tequila Works/Microsoft Studios). “Deadlight” is a puzzle platformer, where the player must take advantage of the main character’s agility to solve obstacles, and dodge zombies, manipulating the many interactive elements of the scenery. With more walking corpses than bullets, the feeling of danger is constant.
“Dust: An Elysian Tail” (Humble Hearts/Microsoft Studios). As the mysterious warrior, Dust, your action-packed journey will take you from peaceful glades to snowy mountaintops and beyond. Battle dozens of enemies at once with an easy-to-learn, difficult-to-master combat system, and uncover the story of an ancient civilization on the brink of extinction as you fight to uncover your own past in a gorgeous hand-painted world.
“Hybrid” (5TH Cell/5TH Cell). “Hybrid” is a pioneering third person shooter set in the near future, where global conflict exists between a species known as the Variant and a rebel human faction known as the Paladins. 5TH Cell strives to give players a completely new gameplay experience never seen before in the genre.
“Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD” (Robomodo/Activision). “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD” takes the best elements of the classic “THPS” games and gives them a fresh update to create an all new skateboarding experience. Tapping into fans’ muscle memories, and combining sharp visuals with the best controls ever in a Tony Hawk game, the feel is cutting edge yet timeless.
“Wreckateer” (Iron Galaxy/Microsoft Studios). “Wreckateer” uses Kinect to put you in control of a massive castle-wrecking ballista. With the help of Wreck and Tinker, travel the land and destroy 60 castles using six magical projectiles, and explore the infinite ways you can wreak havoc with “Wreckateer’s” fully-dynamic destruction.

There's a new game coming in from Twisted Pixel, the developer behind The Gunstringer and 'Splosion Man - and it seems to star a sentient motorcycle.

A pre-rendered trailer revealed the game at Microsoft's E3 press conference, and beyond the game's 2013 release date no further details were disclosed. Sorry...

A new game being overseen by Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski broke cover at Microsoft's E3 press conference, with the Kinect-enabled Matter slated for release on Xbox Live Arcade in 2013.

A brief trailer showed an anthropomorphic orb passing through an abstract landscape made out of shifting cubes - seeming to suggest that it'll be a puzzle game. More, as ever, will be disclosed in the coming days.

Valve has confirmed Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac will be out on August 21.

"To be available via the Playstation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and Steam (for PC and Mac), CS: GO will expand upon the team-based action gameplay pioneered when Counter-Strike was launched almost 13 years ago (CS beta 1, August 1999)," said the press release.

The game will launch on all stores for $15 (1200 MSPs)

"CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO introduces new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more," adds Valve.
