And sure enough, players have found code in the game’s most recent update that shows a “golden wrench” is indeed coming to the Engineer. This video shows that the golden/Australium wrench will freeze opponents in their path, turning them into gold on the spot, and this teaser video shows some other possible goodies due for the update as well. Leave it to Valve to turn a simple class deathmatch into a wild scavenger hunt for secret items and histories.

Being the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 fan that you are, you’ve no doubt read about the game’s upcoming Onslaught mode DLC. If, for some reason, you haven’t — and didn’t click on that link there — here’s the skinny: it will add up to four-player co-op to EA’s latest military shooter, pitting human-folk against opposing A.I. foes in a rush to complete four different maps as quickly as possible. You’ll want to do that because the mode will sport worldwide leaderboards for each of its four difficulty settings.
I played the mode a couple of weeks back at EA HQ. Even on the lowest difficulty setting my three fellow players and I were absolutely humiliated within seconds of starting our first level. The A.I. is unforgiving. Our initial embarrassment had what I believe is the effect DICE is after with this mode: really making squads work together. You won’t make it 50 feet if you don’t — and if you all die it’s game over.

Paramount has announced a new Top Gun game in development at doublesix, ready to assault PSN, Mac and Windows PC this summer. Described as “a free-flying air combat shooter,” the press release promises “large-scale dogfight battles” as players jump into pilot Maverick’s F-14, following his journey from Top Gun Academy to the Indian Ocean. Top Gun won’t be a strictly solo affair, either — five multiplayer modes, supporting up to 16 players online, will also be included.
Screenwriter Jack Epps, Jr. will return to the Top Gun world, expanding on the film’s events through the game. “With Jack Epps, Jr. on board, we’re excited to deliver a new Top Gun arcade experience that holds true to the popular film,” said John Kavanagh, VP of games at Paramount. Sounds fine by us, but we swear, Mr. Epps, if you don’t fit the volleyball scene into the game somewhere, we’re probably going to write you a tersely-worded letter explaining our disappointment.

Sony’s Bend Studio bringing updated edition of acclaimed 2007 PSP espionage shooter to legacy console on June 1.
Sony scored substantial critical success with Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror on the PSP in 2006, bringing the espionage action series back to the kind of glory only enjoyed by the franchise’s maiden installment. The publisher was less successful bringing that game to the PlayStation 2 in 2007, but enjoyed follow-up success with Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow on the PSP later that year.
Now, Sony plans to try and once again duplicate Syphon Filter’s PSP success on the PS2, this time with Logan’s Shadow. The publisher announced today that it will be bringing an updated version of the game to the PS2 on June 1. Bend Studio, which has handled the series since Syphon Filter 3 and also crafted Resistance: Retribution for the PSP, has been tasked with development duties on the game.
Logan’s Shadow picks back up with series protagonist Gabe Logan, who must once again thwart a future terrorist organization from wrecking havoc across the globe. The game features a storyline from Atticus Kodiak author Greg Rucka and a soundtrack from 300 composer Azam Ali.
For its PS2 release, Bend has added a new control scheme designed to make aiming and cover mechanics easier to use. The studio has also retuned the game to accommodate the new control scheme, as well as up-rezed the game’s textures and visual effects.
