The other day we mentioned Deadline Games' upcoming third person action title Faith and a .45 and we're happy to say that more media is making it's way into our hands.

The game itself appears to be a depression era title with heavy influences pulled from the Bonnie and Clyde mythos as well as games like Gears of War and maybe even the upcoming Army of Two. Check out the video below to see what I mean. While the game currently looks a bit like a western the developers have suggested that more levels will push more of that depression era America feel.

This is one solid looking game right now - even if the trailer is mostly concept stuff. I'm really dying for a good co-op experience, something along the lines of Gears and while I hop that Army of Two fits that need in the short term, Faith and a .45 is probably a game to watch in the future.

If I were to levy one complaint about Portal it would be the game's length. If I were asked to levy two complaints I'd be totally lost 'cause the game was damn near perfect - except for one thing ...

As you cane imagine I'm glad to hear that Portal will be seeing a second life. That's right Valve has confirmed that there's more Portal in our future. In an interview with Eurogamer Valve's Doug Lombardi says "There'll be more Portal, for sure, [...] but the details of that, to be honest, we're still working out."

With plenty of references to Half-Life and Valve developers going on record that the Portal gun may turn up in the Half-Life universe there sure is plenty of potential. I'd be happy with just a new set of levels but a fully playable adventure that more fully develops both GlaDOS and Aperture Science would be more than welcome. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens though.

Spore is one of those games that I'm just dying to play - unfortunately it's also one of those games that seems to just keep moving further and further away. Today we get some good news though.

Despite further delaying Mercenaries 2, EA was kind enough to give us a slight hint at when we might see Spore hit the market. While it's not set in stone it looks as though Spore will be hitting the market sometime before the 2008 holiday season.

Of course with this good news comes three helpings of iffy. As of right now Bioware's upcoming Dragon Age RPG, Pandemic's Mercenaries 2, and Battlefiel: Bad Company have all been pushed into EA's next fiscal year. The good news is that EA's next fiscal year runs from April 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009 - that's a good possibility for 2008 but leaves plenty of time for a 2009 release.

I admit that my initial interest in the game came from it's title, Faith and .45 has a ring to it that sounds more like a movie than it does a video game. The game itself is a Bonnie and Clyde style shooter which looks to have strong influences from Gears of War - they mention Gears frequently in discussing the game actually.

1UP has an interview with the developers at Deadline Games (most famous for titles like Total Overdose, Chilli Con Carnage and of course Samba de Amigo.)  Head on over there to read up on this title and rest assured we'll be keeping a close eye on the title as it develops.  Right now the game is about 2 years down the pipe and is slated for a cross platform release.

Echocrome looks like one of those games that's just got to be good.

I've seen a number of trailers as well as more than a few screenshots and I'm definitely looking forward to grabbing this game for the PSP. At this time the game is slated for a UMD release for the PSP and as a Playstation Store download for the PS3.

With a release date set for March 19th in Japan. While there's no word on pricing for the PS3 version the PSP UMD will be retailing for around $36 US dollars.

If you're not familiar with the title we've included a video after the jump.
