Grand Theft Auto 10 Year Anniversary Edition Now On iOS,Android & Xperia Play!

Wow. I seriously can't believe that Rockstar was able to knock out all these enhanced ports of GTA III and get them all done so well. Take a gander at the iOS trailer above and if you have an iPad and five measly bucks, ABSOLUTELY buy this one (yes, even if you're not a gamer). It's a classic that redefined the open world genre and still holds up today as a stellar game experience in my book. Hell, I'd buy an iPad just to play this all over again if I had the money (and actually liked Apple's intrusive policies, grrrr)...

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Trailer: MWOW3

Hyperbole-filled text aside, this does indeed look spectacular. Amusingly enough, I'm a LOT more intrigued about the single player campaign than the endless multiplayer modes and all the hype they generate. I really want to see how the story is told and what some of these shots in the trailer mean. Sure, it's probably not what 90% or more of the folks who plan to snap this up at launch are craving, but personally, I like a good STORY in my games. There's just no actual good reason for me to play games that require just running around and shooting people in the face for fun and points to spend on more stuff to run around and shoot people in the face faster. Sorry, kids... but for me, plot matters as much as gameplay, especially in a game where a large scale world war is the selling point.

Aliens: Colonial Marines Gameplay Footage

Sega has released a very cool E3 demo gameplay video from Gearbox Software's upcoming PS3/Xbox 360 and PC shooter. The game is certainly looking tight so far, combining scripted moments with plenty of combat and appropriately scary moments. Of course, there are plenty of fans of who are probably benchmarking those older PC Aliens games by Rebellion and tossing mighty suggestions to Sega and Gearbox to copy those classics exactly. I say let the developer do their thing so they can surprise those expecting them to simply template stuff just because a few too many diehards aren't willing to accept a new take on their favorite game. Yeah, yeah - that's why I don't make games, being stubborn and wanting to go my own way and all. But hey, I trust the guys at Gearbox completely. We'll see what happens and hope Sega drops into NYC so I can get some hands-on time...

House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut Hospital Level Trailer

That PlayStation Move will be getting a workout again as Sega brings this HD update of its Wii game to the PS3 this October. Expect some awesomely gory shooting action, plenty of "grindhouse" aesthetic and replay value galore like any good light gun game. I may have to get a second Move controller just to play this with double guns. Too bad this one isn't coming to Kinect, but then again, Xbox 360 owners have Rise of Nightmares, so I guess you could call it "even" in terms of horror-themed on-rails games, right? Of course, if Sega decides to do a Move-enabled version of RoN, that would be pretty cool as well...

The Lord of the Rings: War In The North "Power of Three" Trailer

Snowblind Studios' multiplayer-focused M-rated action/RPG hits stores on November 1, 2011 for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Here's a look at the latest trailer of what's looking to be a pretty brutal, thrilling trip back to Middle Earth. As a big fan of Snowblind's work, I'm hoping the game does well among LOTR fans as well as gamers into other RPGs such as Dark Souls and Skyrim. As this one ships between those two, I'm also hoping WBIE sees a few folks snap up their game as a gap-filler between those two gems.

TGS 2011: Dark Souls Full Prologue Trailer

And here you go: the complete prologue to From Soft's upcoming action/RPG guaranteed to make grown men and women weep, throw controllers and hide under the couch simultaneously. I can't wait for October 7, that's for sure.

TGS 2011: Ninja Gaiden 3 Trailer: Blood and Gore and Multiplayer Modes (?!), Oh, My...

Tecmo Koei is bringing Ryu Hayabusa back in a bigger and bloodier game this time out and of course, there's a nice split down the middle of the fan base. Granted, I'm not sure I'd like an online multiplayer mode in my Ninja Gaiden game, but it's in there. No disembowelment? No big deal for me, as the game isn't supposed to be a simulation at all. As long as it's not packing in a super-easy mode and isn't TOO much of a God of War swipe (granted, Kratos owes his very existence to games like the Ninja Gaiden trilogy), it should rock.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Gameplay Videos: 20+ Minutes Of Amazing

If you're still curious as to why Skyrim will be the game many people (including yours truly) will be buried in for quite some time, here are three videos that show off the game's awesomeness quite well. Bethsoft finally posted these E3 videos a few days back (and yes, the build was playable at PAX in Seattle), but as usual, I'm catching up a bit late. In a weird way, I'm almost scared of how huge the game will be, but I'm not a total dope, folks. This one's going to take a while to explore every nook and cranny, but that's what I do, so I can't wait...

Dark Souls Prologue Video (Part III)

Can you feel that chill in the air? That's a combination of fall coming and Dark Souls about to drop into your hot little hands this October. Of course, that cold spine and goose flesh you have will soon be poked full of trap holes and roasted to a crisp by a dragon as big as a house, but at least you'll go down fighting and perhaps take a few beasties with you in the process. Ah... life is good... until you lose it to an armored boar's very pointy tusks...

Rise of Nightmares Now Available (Get Ready To Beat Down Creepy Stuff, Kinect-Style!)

Looks as if the Kinect isn't all about dancing games, fake fuzzy petting zoo action, exercise simulations or jumping around and trying not to get a heart attack in a family-friendly smash hit*. Sega has shipped its creepy horror game to stores and while the reviews are mixed, it might do well enough among Kinect owners craving something a bit more gory than your average game in the growing library. Here are three trailers Sega has released over the past month or so to promote the game - enjoy!

*(Yeah, yeah, I know all about the Gunsmith feature in Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Crytek's hack & slasher, Steel Battalion and a bunch of other 2012 titles. But none of these really count until the games actually ship...)

God of War: Origins Looks AMAZING on the "Big" Screen

Between the gorgeous upscaling and the amazing use of 3D, both GOW games look like first-gen PS3 titles and REALLY solid ones at that. Even if you've played these on the PSP, this collection is well worth the money because it's so well produced and hell, you even get a great bunch of bonus content that seals the deal. If you're new to Kratos' uber-violent ways, this collection, plus God of War Collection PLUS God of War 3 should get you up to speed. It's too bad SCEA didn't see fit to include the cellphone game from a few years back, as it was pretty darn impressive back then in all its 2D goodness...

Dark Souls Prologue Video (Part II)

Lovely. Here's the second part from FromSoftware's soon to be Game of the Year contender. October 11 is rushing up like a gust of hot wind from hell so be prepared for many hours of struggling to survive, poring over a wiki for help and more whining than a busload of kids on the way to school after a lazy summer. This game is going to blow minds and bust controllers.

Dark Souls "Bartholemew" Trailer Rocks (Well, The Music Does - The Game is Still Brutal)

I'll admit, this trailer made me laugh because of the music. Don't get me wrong - it's a great track... but anyone who's played Demon's Souls knows that the intensely dramatic (and frightening) main theme in that game set the tone for what was to come. This trailer made me think more of a music video from back in the days when MTV actually played them. That said, it certainly doesn't lessen the impact of what's looking to be one of the hardest games to date this console cycle. The video below is the fantastically creepy Prologue which sets up the action even better - take a look and judge for yourself.

Gamescom 2011: Silent Hill HD Collection Trailer

More overblown "fan" bile is hitting Konami about this Silent Hill set, but I think I have a simple solution for those bitching non-stop over a few things. If you don't want to buy the collection because it's missing SH4: The Room and there are re-recorded voices (thanks to some sort of money dispute), just go play the older games on the PS2. If you own an Xbox 360 and have never played Silent Hill 2 or 3 because you've never owned a PS2 (I'm sure there are a few out there), you won't care one bit, right? I'll probably pick this up just to play the games on the 360 or PS3 in HD, but I still have all the older games in the series to go back to if I'm disappointed (which I don;t think i will be)...

Gamescom 2011: Silent Hill Downpour Trailer (Yes, Prison Is Scary, Too)

Nicely creepy preview of the new SH game above plus a video interview below with one of the key team members working on the game. Konami is rolling out a few cool Silent Hill projects for this year and next, but as usual some fans aren't happy with some of the decisions made. To those folks, I say play the old games if you have them and live with those memories and let those of us who want to try the new games have our say once the new games are completed. I have all of the originals as well, but I'm still intrigued by the upcoming HD collection and Book of Memories just to see the two titles buffed up to a nice HD shine (fog and all) and a different take on the "anthology" style of horror game the series has created.

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 "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!

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...
