Fallout: New Vegas - Dead Money Trailer

Of course you KNEW some of that huge unused or blocked off space in the game world was going to get used and yup, here comes the first DLC for New Vegas to show you something even more twisted than the main game. Nice mix of a few familiar films packed in the trailer and it definitely looks creepy enough to put me under the couch while playing. December 21st, 2010 is the release date - Keep 'em coming, Obsidian...

Resistance 3 VGA Trailer

Insomniac might be going multiplatform, but they're certainly NOT selling their PS3 fan base short at all. Killer, killer trailer from 2011's instant candidate for shooter of the year. It's going to be a damn good year for PS3 owners, that's for sure...

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Trailer

Oh. Hell. Yeah (Or: Well, so much for my free time). Bethsoft brings the dragons on big time in this latest (upcoming) Elder Scrolls adventure and yup, I can't wait. Neither can you... go on, admit it...

Prototype 2 Announcement Trailer

Hah! Something told me Radical was tinkering away on this fan favorite sequel and well, here you go. the first game was amazing, warts and all. This one looks like a total killer. 2011 is going to be PACKED with great games, that's for sure...

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - "They Can't Stop The Future" (Director's Cut)

Mighty. Warren Spector gave the game his seal of approval and it looks as if Eidos isn't going to disappoint. This five minute plus trailer packs in some nice visuals and a bit of gameplay footage. There's still a bit of work to be done, but this is looking like a game that's going to be a must-own in any true gamer library.

Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage Gameplay (Videos 1 & 2)

Full review coming quite soon on the regular DAF blog. Here's the short version: it's a fun, tough mash-up of Dynasty Warriors and the classic ultra-violent manga/anime not for all tastes, but it gets the job done. Overall, it's an incredibly long game that while taking its sweet time in terms of pacing, ends up as a mighty, meaty beat 'em up mixing the style of the 1984 original, the TV remake and today's 3D technology. Tons of moves to learn, stuff to unlock and some great game modes make this a must for hard core fans of the manga and anime. Video # 2 below the jump.

Gallery Update: Splatterhouse (It's Heeeeeere!)

Well, my review copy is still in the mail and on the way, but the game is indeed available at your local game emporium. A few more screens for your viewing pleasure are below the jump.

Rockstar's L.A. Noire Trailer Is Brilliant Stuff

All you need to know (for now, at least) is in this gorgeous trailer for the upcoming game. Rockstar is about to do it again and I can't wait to get some hands-on time, that's for sure...

Atlus' The Cursed Crusade Teaser Trailer

This one is worth the bigger size (and I see people are already comparing it to Demon's Souls even before they've had a chance to play it... ah well). Go Atlus!

Call of Duty: Black Ops Launch Trailer

It's almost here, and here we go - check it out:

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Launch Trailer

Tomorrow, you'll be blasting the hell out of zombies in the old west, thanks to Rockstar Games' PSN/XBLA expansion. Check out the launch trailer (click on the post title to see the video!). I'll bug Rockstar about news for the retail version and pop that info over on the regular DAF blog.

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare "Undead Overrun" Multiplayer Trailer

Did someone say "Multiplayer?" Yup, cowboys and cowgirls, it's in full effect in Red Dead Redemption: undead Nightmare - check it out (click on the post title to activate the videos, by the way).

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare "Weapons" Trailer

And just what sort of weapons would you use on the undead on the old west? Well, Rockstar has an answer or few for you in this here trailer. Blunderbuss FTW!

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare "Graveyards" Trailer

Excellent stuff here and part of the core gameplay in the upcoming expansion pack. Love the super-creepy vibe, the zombies can (and will) freak you out when they get too close for comfort and overall, I predict this one's going to be a big hit. Adding zombies to the mix just makes any game genre fun, it seems...

SAW II Slices Into Retail

Jigsaw and his deadly traps return in Konami's brutal horror/action/trap simulation game, SAW II. Definitely not for the weak-stomached gamer, this sequel has improved graphics and combat, a ton of new traps and is spread over even larger environments than the first game. Not a huge fan of the movies myself, but I liked the first's game a lot thanks to some devious puzzles and a mix of adventure game elements twisted on their ears. This one should be twice as gory and even more devious.

Dark and gritty screens below the jump - more to come in an update shortly.

Gallery Update VI: Splatterhouse

Nice and chunky red goodness with a side of ribs in these latest Splatterhouse shots. Yummy and yucky in every bite!

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare DLC Screens/Trailer

Rockstar's Western mega-hit gets some truly chilling (and awesomely gory) new content later this year with the Undead Nightmare DLC pack for the PS3 and Xbox 360. here's a look at the trailer plus game poster art and two of the slightly gorier screen shots not in my hands-on preview. Played a tiny bit at this year's New York Comic Con and yup, it's most likely going to be the best ten bucks (or 800 Microsoft Points) you'll spend on an expansion pack this year. Expect five or so hours of single player content and an as yet to be revealed multiplayer mode. More on the game on the normal DAF blog - click below, enjoy the trailer and keep an eye peeled (har har) for more on the game shortly.

Gallery Update V: Splatterhouse

And here we go again... more bloody Splatterhouse goodness courtesy of Namco Bandai. My, my, my... the blood does fly in these shots, doesn't it?

F3AR Almaverse Trailer

It just gets weirder and weirder with WBIE's new entry in the horror-themed FPS for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Check out the Almaverse (and be glad as all hell you don't live there).

Gallery Update: Splatterhouse

Just a few more tame to awesomely gory screens for Namco Bandai's relaunch of the horror action game. Just keep saying to yourself: "It's only a few weeks away... It's only a few weeks away... It's only a few weeks away..."

2o points if you get the joke, by the way.

BioShock Infinite Gameplay Footage

Excellent stuff here as Irrational takes the popular franchise to new heights both figuratively and literally. Hoping this comes to NYC so I can get some hands-on time, as I'm a fan of the series (for the single player experience, far more than the multiplayer, though). More updates to come as new footage is released.

Gallery: Knights Contract (Ultra-Violence Screens)

Namco Bandai's upcoming addition to the spate of hyper-violent God of War-influenced games has some truly bizarre-looking monsters and a nicely stylized look to it that I like quite a lot. It's also one pretty gore-packed hack-up, as you'll see in these screens not quite ready for the regular DAF blog (thanks, ESRB and your silly restrictions!). With a 2011 release date, here's hoping the game gets enough polish and press to become a hit in its own right. GO, Game Republic!

Mortal Kombat "Shadows" Trailer

This pretty cool MK trailer manages to be nicely not for the kiddies even though all its violence is in silhouette. We'll have to see if the gameplay is as tight as the screen shots and movies shown so far.

Gallery Update: Dead Rising 2 Co-Op

Cleaned up nicely for Gamescom, these excellent DR2 co-op screens are pretty darn tame considering the other far gorier videos and screens released for the upcoming game. Ah well, "clean" or not, I'll still run them here anyway - enjoy!

Trailer: Dead Space 2

Absolutely amazing footage here (and the game plays even better, folks) of Visceral's follow-up to perhaps the scariest sci-fi horror action game to date. It's not coming out until early next year, but DS2 is already at the top of my most wanted list.

God of War: Ghost of Sparta Trailer

Ready at Dawn + Sony Santa Monica Studios + Kratos = yet another PSP masterpiece. Check out the trailer for a nice tease of what's to come. From what I played at the Sony event a few weeks back, the game looks spectacular, the controls are tight and overall, this is the best portable GOW game to date.

Trailer: Splatterhouse

Namco Bandai's gruesomely gorgeous relaunch of its seminal horror/action franchise is looking like a surefire hit for genre fans. Take a peek at this great E3 trailer for a bit of what to expect in the final version.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer Teaser

Here's a quick look at COD: Black Ops' multiplayer in action. The three stages of single player campaign I saw last week was indeed incredible stuff, so it's great to see that Treyarch has kept the same high quality chaos fans of the series expect very much intact. There's no doubt this one's going t0 sell a few million right out of the gate.

Knights Contract E3 Trailer

Nice-looking and brutal stuff here from Namco Bandai and developer Game Republic. Love the concept, the hideous monsters and the fast-paced action. Sure, it might not be the next God of War (well, only GOW is GOW, folks), but it's good to see twisted stuff like this get the green light when it's looking as cool as what's here so far. More, please!

Happy Gnu Year!

Yeah, yeah... it's freakin' 2010(: The Year We Make Contact) ALREADY! Holy Corns, that was FAST. Anyway, been busy with a TON of stuff, so yes, updates have been non-existent. HOWEVER, the ton of stuff is winding down and that means we're back in action full-swing shortly.

Stay tuned!
