As Chris Schilling over on the pocketgamer.co.uk website recently noted, the new downloadable map pack provides gamers with three brand new multiplayer maps, as well as a number of bug fixes. The three new maps include Floating Rock, Icy Bridge and Aquarius Beach.

The Aquarius Beach map is more suited to mid-range combat and features sniper nests and organic cover positions, while the Floating Rock map comes with a number of low-orbit platforms for short-range skirmishes. The Icy Bridge map on the other hand favors larger groups.

Icy Bridge comes with a large energy field that is solid enough to walk across, but is permeable by any weapon as well. The new N.O.V.A. 2 map pack is available to purchase now for just $1.99 on the US store and £1.19 on the UK store. Once downloaded, players receive 10 free XP levels.

You can view a number of screenshots over on the pocketgamer.co.uk website, and view a trailer of the new maps below this post. Are you a fan of the N.O.V.A. 2 game?

Now we have received word that their popular N.O.V.A. 2 game is making its way to the handset.

However, according to an article by Richard Meads over at pocketgamer.co.uk, the developer also confirmed that the sci-fi action adventure FPS game – which is said to be a clone of the hugely popular Halo video game – will in fact be an Xperia Play timed-exclusive when it is released.

The second installment, which is already available on iOS, in the series will then be released to other Android run devices one month after that. The original N.O.V.A. game was a huge success when it was first released back in December 2009, and even earned itself a Pocket Gamer Silver Award.

As mentioned in our previous article, the N.O.V.A. 2 game features a larger variety of weapons and powers compared to the original. The game also features an improved AI, as well as the added bonus of the multiplayer maps now having space for up to 10 players.

Are you thinking about buying the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play? If you are, would you consider buying the N.O.V.A. 2 game along with it?

The developer Gameloft has just announced a release date for the upcoming sequel N.O.V.A. 2, which will be available from December 16th.

As Jennifer Allan reports over at electricpig.co.uk, besides announcing a release date for the new game, Gameloft has also released a trailer. There have been some pretty awesome games released on the iPhone recently, and this looks like it could be one of them.

N.O.V.A. (Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance) 2 features a larger range of powers and weapons than the original, as well as an improved AI and more diversified gameplay. Another welcome change to N.O.V.A. 2 is that the multiplayer maps now have space for up to 10 players.

Rik Henderson of pocket-lint.com has written a hands-on article about the N.O.V.A. 2 game recently, and notes that the sequel isn’t as claustrophobic as the original. Another noticeable change that is mentioned in the article is that the enemies appear more intelligent than before.

You can view the trailer below this post, and view the full hands-on and screenshots via pocket-lint.com. Will you be downloading this game when it arrives on the 16th?
