New Metriod Other M Cinematic Trailer

Updated: Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta Trailer Official


Ok…so it’s not all that hard to believe that bungie would make a trailer to build hype for the reach beta coming up on May 3rd. But it has JETPACKS!!! This trailer looks very real and is most likely not a hoax. It was leaked by a Taiwanese site called GNN. It also shows loadouts, assassinations, and did i mention JETPACKS!!! New weapons and game modes are also shown. If this trailer is real, which it probably is, this is going to be totally different than any Halo game we have ever seen.

UPDATED:The official trailer is now up!

XBLA: Behemoth’s BattleBlock Theater

Castle Crasher developer Behemoth has been teasing their “game 3″ project for quite some time. Numerous game outlets got a sneak preview of the game last year at PAX and still don’t really know what the game is all about. We can pretty much guarantee that its going to have a lot of humor and be a fun multiplayer experience. Once more media is available we’ll make sure to get it up!

Mass Effect 2: The Classes Detailed

Violence in Videogames: A Disjointed Muse

ip-16480_2

I’m fed up of myself. Writing ridiculously superfluous articles with absolutely no journalistic merit at all. That, and I missed my train to London Euston today so I couldn’t go and see a television pilot. I guess this editorial is, in essence, a product of personal dissatisfaction. Also today, I participated in ‘School’s Question Time’, a school/college focused take on the increasingly popular political debate program, Question Time. For those of you outside of the United Kingdom or those of you who live in caves and the like, the format is a panel of ‘experts’ in politics, generally 3 opposing politicians, someone to do with the ‘topic of the week’, for example a Trade Unionist and and a fifth well known personality. They’re asked questions but the audience, comprising of the general populous. Well, today I essentially participated in that, being a panel member, discussing the topic of violence in video games. Being the age I am and that of the other panel members, around the 17 and 18 year old mark, nobody believed that it should at all be banned or restricted, apart from those asked to play Devil’s Advocate.

Modern Warfare 2 “Infamy Trailer”

The latest trailer for the heavily anticipated Modern Warfare 2 is now viewable on Infinity Ward’s site, and is embedded above. In it, we hear the biblical story of the first murder by Cain, and some additional threatening narration. Additionally, we see flashes of Washington besieged and in flames.

I, for one, am hoping that Infinity Ward is finally able to string their series’ of “holy sh*!” moments into a truly impactful narrative. The recently released trailers have truly intrigued me, and I am becoming increasingly interested in the journey we will experience when Modern Warfare 2 is released, November 10th.

What do you think? Have the recently released trailers made you more excited, less excited, or were you already eagerly anticipating Infinity Ward’s next entry in the Call of Duty franchise?

Review: Batman: Arkham Asylum (X360, PS3)

161Feel that? That soothing breeze blowing across your skin? Summer is ending, and fall is fast approaching. With the changing of the seasons comes the end of the annual drought of games that occurs so often during the summer months, and first out of the gate is Batman: Arkham Asylum, developed by Rocksteady Studios. But can a game based on the caped crusader, a character whose video-game career has been less-than-inspiring, truly prove to be the game to quench our thirst for entertainment?
