We face off against endless waves of terrorists and learn a thing or two about stealth in Conviction's new multiplayer mode. While we've already seen what the first 20 minutes of Sam Fisher's latest adventure has to offer, publisher Ubisoft has kept many of the new multiplayer modes away from our grubby little mitts. One such mode is Last Stand, which is Conviction's take on the endless-wave gameplay featured in Gears of War 2's Horde mode and Halo: ODST's Firefight mode. We spent some time with the new mode to see if it shares the same addictive quality as its forebears. Game Spot Previews

Two wheels and tons of speed; the motorcycle racing series is coming to America and we've got the latest look. The SBK Superbike series, which has seen a few iterations released in Europe, will finally make its European debut this year in the upcoming SBK Superbike World Championship 09. Representatives from the game's publisher Valcon Games were on hand at the 2010 Game Developers Conference showing SBK off to the press. Game Spot Previews

We try out this upcoming team-based multiplayer shooter set in the Old West. Nothing says "Game Developers Conference 2010" quite like pretending to be an Internet cowboy and blasting another Internet cowboy out of his boots. But that's exactly how we kicked off our day, specifically with a hands-on session of Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West, a multiplayer PC shooter from developer FatShark and publisher Paradox. The game takes place in the Old West on six different multiplayer maps that are set in and around classic 19th-century American towns, gulches, and mines, but it doesn't seem to be afraid to follow the example of the popular shooter Team Fortress 2 to use icons, menus, and smart pointers to help encourage simpler, easy-to-understand gameplay.

We try out the sequel to Mount & Blade and die horribly in the game's exhilarating multiplayer. The 2010 Game Developers Conference is under way, and so is the ongoing beta test for Mount & Blade: Warband, the upcoming expansion to the unique medieval hybrid action game from developer Taleworlds and publisher Paradox. Like in the original game, you can play as an ambitious young warrior noble in search of fame, power, and conquest, though Warband's single-player campaign will give you access to new paths to power--specifically, by marrying into a wealthy family. The campaign will let you woo your potential mate with song and with your long, long, long…list of battle accomplishments, but that's not how we spent our time with the game. Instead, we jumped headfirst into the game's already-thriving multiplayer beta. Game Spot Previews
