Far Cry 2 is Looking Awesome

We have been covering Far Cry 2 quite a bit recently, not because we were that much of fans of the original or even that big of Crysis fans, but because Far Cry 2 is actually surprising us with how good it’s looking. Following a recent Far Cry 2 media blitz, the Ubisoft team working on [...]

Tron 2 (Tr2n) Handy-Cam Trailer

Ok, this is viral-marketing entering a new stage that it hasn’t been in before… supposedly “bootlegged” handy-cam footage of a private showing of a new Tron 2 movie trailer (named Tr2n); you know, cause movie studios don’t like to stir up buzz about their movies ahead of time: Tron 2 Bootleg Trailer http://teaser-trailer.comby dragonball-movie

Max Payne Trailer - Not Too Shabby

In lighter news, the trailer for the Max Payne movie with Mark Wahlberg has come out… doesn’t look too bad, looks about a 6 out of 10 just because of the implied cheese factor; little things you notice, like how his gritty, world-trodden trench coat is brand new and pristine or the snow-covered Glock… cause [...]

Mirror’s Edge Animated Story Trailer

If you haven’t been keeping an eye on the gaming scene for a while, there is a game titled “Mirror’s Edge” with a eye-catching art design, tight first-person perspective, and so far a completely unknown story premise.

Alone in the Dark, Wii Gameplay Movie

Last little bit of media blow-out here before the game drops today, this time a Wii gameplay movie… looks interesting. From the movie it looks like they tried to map all real motions to Wiimote motions… will be curious to see how that translates: And a gallery for your perusing-pleasure from the Xbox 360 (overall graphics [...]

UFC 2009: Undisputed Game Trailer

I don’t normally think much of fighting games until I see reviews, because controls can make or break even the best looking fighting game. For folks that like fighting games, Fight Night: Round 3 was excellent, but 4 is around the corner. And the new Don King game is garbage, apparently the hit detection and controls [...]

Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway Destructible Environments

God yes, see this is exactly what I wanted from Call of Duty 4 and why I didn’t think it was all that (double-snap), the totally static environments. Thankfully it looks like Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway is going nuts with the physics and destructible environments… physics and gore are two things that can make a [...]

Saints Row 2 vs Grand Theft Auto 4 Trailer

Damn, I really thought the potential for Saints Row 2 was dead after those “teaser trailers” came out and were boring as sin, then GTA4 dropped… it was an end-game… until we all noticed that GTA4’s multiplayer was sort of lame for co-op junkies and it came out that Saints Row 2 was going to [...]

Alone in the Dark: Extended Gameplay Trailer

This is probably one of the most comprehensive gameplay trailers for AITD that I’ve seen so far, lots of physics stuff, environment manipulation, monster fighting, inventory management, puzzle solving and even driving. If you were on the fence about the game or haven’t seen anything about it, I think this trailer will answer a lot [...]

Far Cry 2 Tech Demo

If you’ve been following the Far Cry 2 screenshots and other news with the Crysis-level-hotness looks, I think the Ubidays Tech Demo here is gonna blow your skirt up. Skip to about 1:50 if you want to see the fire propagation (aka “shit sets on fire realistically”) part:
