The highly anticipated new FPS from Bethesda Softworks, Brink, has been given an estimated release date of September 7, and Amazon.com lists the same release date for the game on PC, Xbox 360, and the PS3. Those of you too excited to just sit and wait it out can also pre-order the game at your local retailer. The rumored price tag is $59.99 for the PS3 and Xbox 360, and $49.99 for the PC version, but that could be subject to change. According to Bethesda, “official pricing and release dates have not been announced by the publisher. These are estimates only and subject to change.”

In Brink, two sides, “Resistance” and “Security”, fight on the outskirts of The Ark, a floating city surrounded by the waters of a flooded Earth. The Ark was designed as a prototype of a perfect city, with renewable resources and no pollution, large enough to support 5,000 residents. Its population has grown to 50,000, however, leading it to the brink (hence the name of the game) of a civil war. The game features the SMART (Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain) Freerunning System first seen in Mirror’s Edge. It’s a game with teams, guns and lots of explosions! I might be sticking my neck out here, but this could be popular!
