Activision & Radical Have 11 More Reasons You Need Prototype 2, A Few Too Many Other Folks Have One Or Two Reasons You Don't...

Every time I see new footage of Radical's vastly improved sequel, I just have to smile. The team has pulled out all the stops and the game should definitely please fans of the original thanks to all the changes and improvements. Sure, some folks are complaining quite vocally about having to pre-order a premium edition of Prototype 2 to get that cool bonus DLC, but that's how things have worked for a while and as far as I'm seeing, it's not changing anytime soon, Still, it's kind of funny that no game publisher out there seems to have predicted any sort of major backlash against locking out disc content or only allowing those who have broadband connections to access "the good stuff". Me, I've been predicting a certain segment of would eventually have enough of this deal for years now, but no one listened back then. Now, it seems that anyone angry about DLC gets not an word listened to by those that can (and should) make things better for EVERYONE who wants to spend their hard-earned money on a new game.

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...

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...

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...

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.
