Bulletstorm "Whip, Kick, BOOM" Trailer

Yeah, that about sums it up alright. People Can Fly had me at Painkiller and Epic? hell, who doesn't love Cliffy B. and his shiny toys of joy? The combo is a great one-two punch for FPS fans in need of a shot of color and humor in a way too serious genre. Hope the game does spectacularly well (and folks like YOU buy it)!

Dead Space 2 "Questions With Steve" Episode 6

More Q's with Steve Papoutsis, this time about the original DS and the connections between it and Part two. Sit Back, relax and enjoy this six + minutes of back and forth...

Bizarre Creations Farewell Video

It's a damn shame Bizarre is gone for good. One of the key studios of the last 15 years shuts down due to a business decision as if it's a TV show that got bad ratings. Anyway, ths guys I've met at the studio as a few press events were some of the nicest folks and ALWAYS proud of their work. Best of luck to you all in finding new work out there...

thanks to YouTube user XG247 for posting this!

Dead Island Trailer: Brilliantly Scary

I've been a huge fan of Techland's games since the Xpand Rally days (and yes, i actually loved both Call of Juarez titles as well), so Dead Island will be yet another quality title coming your way from the Polish development studio. This truly disturbing game trailer is shocking for a number of reasons, but seeing it as it should be seen rather than the reverse trailers popping up all over the internet makes for the most impact (no pun intended). Techland's pretty mum on when the long in development, then canceled, then back in development PS3/Xbox 360/PC title will be completed, but I say leave them alone and let them produce the best work they've done to date. Publisher Deep Silver has a "2011" release date (and I hope the game hits NYC for some of us editor-types to get in some hands-on time), but I'll wait patiently for a confirmation (he said, perching atop the mailbox)...

Screens and art coming this weekend...

Moms vs. Dead Space 2 Multiplayer... Guess Who Wins?

Ah, EA... starting trouble again. Funny as hell video, though. Just keep Fox News away from this footage or else they'll all keel over at the "shocking"-ness of ot all (and FAIL yet again at their attempts to demonize gaming).

Knights Contract US Trailer

And here you go - Namco Bandai's US site just got around to posting this final US trailer for Game Republic's stylized PS3/Xbox 360 action game (with its creepy-looking shape-changing witch bosses). Executioner Heinrich & formerly slain witch Gretchen are on the case as they plow through packs of ugly enemies while on their mission of vengeance.

Homefront " Resistance" Trailer

Yet another excellent trailer for Kaos Studios' upcoming FPS _ I dropped in the "Occupation" trailer below the jump, by the way. As I noted before, I HOPE people get into the story first and just don't buy the game for the multilayer modes, as a LOT of work went into creating the plot and game world in this one. THQ has a big hit on their hands, I predict...

Knights Contract Gameplay Footage Video Trio

Game Republic's soon to be released PS3/360 action game just might be a little sleeper for fans of fast-paced action games with a little AI assistance on the side. Take a look at these three UK videos and perhaps think about making that pre-order?

Anarchy Reigns Gameplay Trailer

PlatinumGames' upcoming brawler in action - as lovely and brutal as expected and then some. I really STILL want that single player offline and versus modes, folks. It'll make for a better game for all, trust me(nag, nag, nag)...

Dragon Age 2 "Champions" Trailer

Now, where would we all be without BioWare's games to shake things up in the RPG scene? DA2 is going to be another spectacular epic experience that's even better than the original. Hope you're all setting aside some quality time for this one, as it's going to be a while before you're coming up for air...

Knights Contract Behind the Scenes Trailer

Game Republic's creepy, stylized action game ships shortly, so here's a peek at a "making of" trailer that packs in some nice footage as well as a bit of interview time. I'm hoping the game does well and plays as solid as it looks. New artwork is going up on the regular DAF blog - wait until you see the character art and renders that were added...

Catherine Poster: Naughty and Creepy... Leaning More Toward The Latter

Poor Vincent... He's got a LOT on his mind, I'd say. Between the haunting blond girl and the weird dreams he's having (or are they dreams at all?), things aren't as they should be for an otherwise normal guy not looking for love. Gorgeous poster art from Atlus' (currently) Japan-only PS3/Xbox 360 adventure/puzzle/horror hybrid. Hope this one comes out here, as the industry NEEDS more quirky originality like this one from the team behind the popular Shin Megami Tensei series. A small taste of gameplay footage is below the jump - bet it's not what you're expecting...

Catherine's Midnight Venus Trailer Shows 'Atlus Does HD' Pretty Damn Well...

Thanks to DualShockers TV for this video (I'm not lazy, I'm just too BUSY)

Lock up the kiddies and pray this one comes out stateside INTACT with all its naughty bits hanging out for the world to see. Normally, I'd say this would be highly unlikely in the crazy climate we live in where games are demonized up and down the pike for all sorts of evils. Then again, Kenji Eno's twisted as hell D2 was unleashed on Dreamcast owners and more recently, Deadly Premonition pushed a few envelopes in different directions of weirdness. YES, kids... it'll get an M rating for sure if it DOES come out here, but hell, it's TIME we see a game that intentionally gets under our skins for a few different reasons. Naturally, other than the creepy guys who buy yellow label Saturn games and happen to have unsavory hentai fixations and huge anime porn collections, Catherine will also be a game that draws in the curious Atlus fan (of age, of course) as well as those genre-deprived types who want to see an adult game (made, yes, by adults FOR adults) such as this change the landscape somewhat.

HOPEFULLY, the true creeps out there won't get their nuts in knots and go overboard whining in public that it's NOT a pure pornographic game at all (while they gently caress their copies of Ar tonelico 3 and Hyperdimension Neptunia with sweaty fingers, ewww...). Meanwhile, I'd love to see the game get respectable reviews from folks that GET it, not griefers "expecting" something the dev team wasn't even thinking of.

Anyway, Atlus - make us all happy and localize this one as best as can be.

Bulletstorm "Skillisode 4" + "Duty Calls" Parody Videos

A double funny for you, courtesy of Epic Games and People Can Fly. Some find the humor in the second clip unkind to a certain big game company, but hey - work in this industry long enough and you're entitled to poke a few people in assorted body parts once in a while. To the haters - lighten up. Bulletstorm is going to rock in all sorts of cool ways. Now go play the demo, please...

Dead Space 2 "Questions With Steve" Episode 5 (+ BONUS!)

Once again, Steve Papoutsis sits for a spell to speak about the horrors unleashed onto gamers in Dead Space 2 while also dropping news about some cool DLC. Nice and double nice...

Speaking of Double Nice - "Questions With Steve 3" has been FOUND and is below the jump.

Crysis 2 "Be Strong" Trailer

I really wish Crytek would make a role-playing game with their mighty game engine. As much as I'm going gaga over these Crysis 2 movies and screens I'm seeing, i can only imagine what sort of supremely rich fantasy worlds the team can cook up. Ah well... we'll just have to wait and see I guess. Hell, it might be a while, as the FPS as a genre isn't even close to dead yet...

Yakuza 4 "Hostess Club" Trailer

Yes, they're back. A little downtime in downtown Tokyo from all the ultra-violence. Relax with an ice cold Suntory beer and some conversation with the lovely ladies of Sega's upcoming PS3 exclusive Yakuza 4. Or something like that. Just watch the trailer - I'll leave the catchy copy to someone else!

Resistance 3 Haven Town Defense Gamplay Trailer

Initially presented at the EU PlayStation Experience, this amazing trailer shows off phenomenal visuals, bursts of violence and lots of attention to detail Insomniac is well known for. Again, if 2011 isn't the year the PS3 soars over the competition, I'll eat my hat. Well, once I coat it with milk chocolate and add a few crushed hazelnuts for good measure, that is...

Dead Space 2 Developer Diaries

Here's a look at two dev diaries from Visceral's sci-fi/horror hit featuring nearly everything you wanted to know about DS2 that shouldn't scare you off from playing this spectacularly scary game. Of course, playing it and not dropping dead from fright or simply straining your neck from continuously looking behind you to check for Necromorphs popping up from behind the couch? Well, that's all on you...

Anarchy Reigns Character Profile: Zero

Ho-kay... Well, so much for my Iron Phoenix jokes about this one. Looks as if PlatinumGames is going to blow a few folks away with their upcoming multiplayer-focused brawler. I'm STILL holding out for a story mode geared to single player action, as hell, I actually prefer to practice my moves against opponents that won't curse me out for having Zero skills (ha ha).

Killzone 3 PlayStation Home Trailer

Pretty slick mix of live action and gameplay footage here - the game is only a few weeks away and looks to be a huge winner for Sony and it's multi-tiered strategy combining HD, 3D, and PlayStation Move support all in one major game release. I'm hoping we see a remake of the first game on either the PS3 or NGP at some point (but I guess E3 will reveal more on that, huh?).

Crysis 2 Multiplayer Demo Briefing

Lucky Xbox 360 owners are blasting through this MP demo already, so if you happen to be in a PS3-only household, here's what you're missing. Fear not, the game is coming to BOTH consoles and the PS3 version is supposed to have 3D support (which might explain why there's not a demo just yet).

SOCOM 4 "Not For Self" MP Trailer

Zipper Interactive's latest in the long-running squad-based FPS franchise is looking amazing in this multiplayer-centric trailer. The big year for the PS3 rolls onward, crunching nearly all in its path, it seems...
