Sony has lifted the lid on the new games due to release in coming months - some of them are very much a work in progress, still in production stages.

There is no announcement of anything particularly ground-breaking, but several familiar titles do get updated.

One of the most interesting is the PS3 title Siren: Blood Curse. It's a Japanese survival horror remake of an early PlayStation game. There was also the eerie sleeper hit Forbidden Siren on PS2.

The first trailer of the PS3 Siren gives an idea of its creepiness.

Set in a Japanese village called Hanuda, the story tells how an American TV crew arrive to research the legend of the 'Vanished Village' where human sacrifice is said to have taken place 30 years ago.

Players discover the horrific curse that haunts Hanuda and battle to save the village's survivors from the living dead. There are a couple of interesting features: a "sight-Jack system" to view events from the angle of your "undead" pursuers.

Unusually, it will be released in 12 episodic TV-style downloads. Is this the way of the future - for video games to compete with downloaded TV series? Tentatively a July release.

Another early exclusive PS3 title, Warhawk, gets a second expansion pack called Warhawk Operation Broken Mirror.

In this, players can mount turrets and drive vehicles like armoured personnel carriers in full-on battle environments like the new Vaporfield Glacier.

The war is decided across seven arenas, which are capable of hosting different-sized contingents of online players. Up to 32 can fight in Tundra Assault, while Olsavik Village is only designed for 4-8 player battles. Check out the downloadable demo on your PlayStation 3.

One of PS3's first titles, and one of the most controversial , Resistance: Fall of Man gets an update called Resistance 2. The emphasis this time is on online play. Team up in eight player co-op mode or in epic online battles involving up to 60 gamers.

The action has moved across the Atlantic and takes place in a devastated America ravaged by war and alien machines. Once again, the Chimera threaten the very future of mankind as the terrifying alternative history of Earth's last days continues to unfold. It is slated for release in November.

PS2 squad-based shooter SOCOM comes to the PS3 to be called SOCOM: Confrontation and out late this year.
