What do you get when you throw one part recently released convict with two parts younger brother in trouble? You get 2 Days To Vegas, the latest action game to come out of developer Steel Monkeys' studios. Many of us have seen it in Playstation 3 form in this past year's e3, but now it is in full form for the Xbox 360. From the last development cycle, it has become what looks to be a powerhouse for the system.

Vegas Baby...

This past e3 event, all we saw was our characters in a barren desert with a lone diner. It looked rather bland and seemed to be missing something. Now, there are large cityscapes to view with amazing looking textures and gradients, as well as some glossy vehicles in hi-res.

I must say, after looking through the new screen shots, this game looks to be a masterpiece for the system. The vehicles are beautifully articulated with some of the best work done on the paint job. These look good enough to just drop your controllers and jump into the game for a quick ride. The city seems to be breathing with life as pedestrians go along with their lives in this streaming metropolis and government employees continue to match their quota. All looks swell, as the city is bustling in the swarm of daily madness.

Although not much information has been released regarding the game, it already looks to be very promising. As long as they are not attempting to create a GTA clone, this can turn out to become a must-have for the system.
