COD: Black Ops Escalation, Call Of The Dead Trailers

Call me Crazy (Of Duty), but I think Activision SHOULD have done Call Of The Dead as a FULL game structured as a series of three or four 1.5 to 2-hour long "movies", each telling a single, self-contained zombie story complete with cut scenes and plenty of film grain to emulate that 70's "grindhouse" style. Co-op and multiplayer modes plus a few "retro" themed arcade games would also have been pretty sweet additions, that's for sure...

Anyway, here are two trailers for the upcoming Xbox Live DLC (I guess PS3 will follow soon enough once those pesky PSN issues are dealt with). May 3, 2011 is the drop date and this looks to be a must-buy for Xbox Live users, zombie fans and COD fans worldwide...

Duke Nukem Forever Trailer (Uncensored Version)

Come Get Some, indeed... The Man Himself is getting closer to his launch (take that as you wish). July 5th is the date (unless Gearbox is screwing around or more alien bastards zap Duke's ride on all those trucks and planes shipping him out. Go get some, I say...

Duke Nukem Forever "History of a Legend" Video (Part 1)

Hey Gearbox! Don't go showing ALL the special features from that big-ass collectors edition just yet. Here's a look the Man Himself as he's evolved from sprite-based macho man to 21st century macho man supreme. Remember, it's er.. July 5th (right, right?) now, so set aside time from the hot dogs, beer and high explosives for a beer-drinking hotdog who knows how to use high explosives.

SOCOM 4 Sharpshooter Walkthrough Video

Just in case you thought that new peripheral was a one game deal, here's a look at the Sharpshooter in action in Zipper Interactive's upcoming PS3 exclusive, set to storm into retail on April 19, 2011. Yeah, it's pretty slick, isn't it?

Duke Nukem Forever "What Would Duke Do" Trailers

It's been a while, huh? Anyway, life stinks sometimes and then you play catch up. Here are two wickedly cool and funny Duke Nukem Forever movies to ogle while you wait with bated breath for the game to ship out on its *new* release date. Thanks, Gearbox for the extra suspense!

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...
