Who here has gotten to play Dead Space? I’m still waiting for it to get to me in the mail with GameFly. I’m not always into survival games (on the count of me acting like a wuss), but I’m really curious to see this one, because of the cool sci fi setting. I loved this new video about the main character.
Anyone played it yet?
Well, one game that is managing NOT to find its way into the public sphere over the next month is Reisdent Evil 5, which actually doesn’t come until March of 2009. Good thing, too, because I’d hate to miss it while playing the other 80 games on my plate (that’s an exagga-lie).
Anywho, a new video interview is out, going over the control schemes found in RE5 as well as some other tidbits. Lots of sweet gameplay footage (the graphics are ludicrous), including co-op and even some vehicle combat. Good times.
So this video has been going around the Internet for about a week or so, but that was crappy handheld footage. This is a teaser trailer for Bioshock 2, buried within the PS3 version of Bioshock that just recently released. Looks like little sis is all grown up.
I’m a huge (if I could write that word really big and spray fireworks off it I would) fan of the Retrospective series of videos from GameTrailers. They’ve tackled Star Wars, Final Fantasy, Zelda, and so much more. Each one bringing its own sense of nostalgia, along with some great nerdy info you couldn’t get without reading loads of wikipedia pages, no doubt.
The newest entry into the Retrospective series is titled “WarCraft: The Drums of War”, and is the first in a several part series which will chronicle the many iterations of the universe of WarCraft, as well as its evolution. Definitely informative and pretty interesting, even if like me, you’re not into WoW.
So Alan Wake is a game that made quite a splash a couple of years ago, but has been scarcely seen since then. It boasted a unique atmosphere, cool cinematics and what looked to be an interesting story about an author whose books take on a life of their own, apparently.
Finally, some more news has resurfaced, with a brand new trailer out that shows some pretty awesome cut scenes. Obviously, we’d like to see some more gameplay, but what’s going on here is relatively hot, and looks to be in real time for at least a few of the shots. Looking forward to more info on this.
Wow, I can’t believe we’re already at the Fable II launch. I must admit that some recent videos have left me doubting about how the final product’s going to turn out, but this new TV special really gave me that itch again. It goes over the story, the world, the art, pro-creation and all kinds of goofy stuff. Give it a watch.
And now I must ask- who’s getting it?
A new trailer just launched for Resistance 2, titled “Last Hours”. It’s a pretty epic collection of things from the game that I have to admit got me pretty pumped. This is another one of those games that keeps falling off the radar and then jumping back into my peripheral… I think the thing I’m most excited about is the co-op mode, which can be done with up to 8 players from what I hear. Fun times.
Who else is getting this game for sure?
Ok, so it’s got one of the stupidest names I’ve ever seen, but Kingdom Hearts DS (as I’m going to refer to it from here on out) looks pretty cool. While I didn’t play KH2 because the story looked convoluted beyond believe, this actually is intriguing to me. What really grabs my fancy is the 4 player multiplayer arena clip, which just seems to be a blast. Thoughts? Who has played the other KH games?
Another in a long line of trailers is now out for Call of Duty: World at War, this one highlighting the multiplayer versus modes that are sure to be the glory of many. So far, CoD4 has some of the best console multiplayer I’ve yet experienced in this generations. I’m curious how this one stacks up, though something tells me it’ll be pretty sweel at as well. Thoughts?
A new Gears of War 2 diary is out, this one detailing the design and look of the game. To be honest, seeing this game in motion at PAX, I really think that graphically the single player campaign blows the first GoW completely out of the water. GoW was the first game that I played on this gen that made me say “NOW we’re in the next gen”, and Gears of War 2 might shatter all of that.
Ah, more merry music-making from Little Big Planet. This time, the music is from Final Fantasy VI rather than X, which is a much better choice for nostalgia and awesome factor. I know it’s been stated a lot, but somehow it still seems appropriate- I’m dying to see what people do with the full release of this game.
More crazy videos out about Dead Space, this one highlighting the blood and gore you’ll be seeing when you play this game later this week. Watching these videos makes me want to play more and more, but like I’ve said before, I’m a little girl when it comes to scary games.
A new video is out showcasing some of the combat from the upcoming Fable II. I’m still very curious if this game can live up to all of the hype surrounding it, especially after the last one was considered such a letdown compared to all of the promises. I think I may ask my family for this one for Christmas, so I don’t spend my own money on it.
How about you guys? Who’s buying it?
Suikoden III ranks among one of my favorite games of all time. It was a tremendous RPG with a great, unique story told from three different perspectives and had a huge cast of characters. I haven’t been crazy about a Suikoden game since then, but Suikoden TierKreis for the DS might just change that.
It seems like more and more traditional RPG’s are headed to the handhelds. This is totally ok with me, seeing as how it’s easy to pick up a handheld for a few minutes at a time and then be done with it. Did any of you guys play any of the other Suikoden games?
Some new Fallout 3 gameplay videos have dropped courtesy of GameTrailers, featuring different locales, enemies and a variety of weapons. This video here is probably the most epic one, documenting a march to the Washington monument through apocalyptic streets and tons of cool big guns. Check it out.
Ah, Fallout 3. That game that continues to tease me. I’m seriously terrified of buying this game because of what Oblivion did to me. Basically, I spent 25-30 hours just robbing houses. Seriously. Open world games just own me that bad. I get addicted to the most inane things.
If I get this one, there’s no telling what silly activity might sidetrack me from the hours of gameplay packed inside of it. Anywho, there’s a new trailer from TGS. Cool beans.
This morning, Blizzard announced a new class to go along with the witch doctor and barbarian: the wizard! Now, you can mow down hordes of enemies with kick-ass AoE spells while stealing your friend’s loot. I can’t wait to see all of the new classes they continue to bring to this game. All we need now is some release info.

For all of you out there who can’t get enough of Call of Duty: World at War previews, there’s a new one that dropped today courtesy of Treyarc. This one pays special to tribute to us action gluttons, those of us that glory in explosions, flame and destruction. Take a look.
I’ve got to be honest, I’ve never been a big slobbering fan over the Resident Evil series, but RE5 is starting to gather my interest more and more. I know RE4 was great and all, it’s just nothing I had seen from this new game ever really seemed to grab me.
Plus, I’m a coward and zombie games are scary. Sue me. Here’s a new trailer for Resident Evil 5 from the Tokyo Game Show, and it’s looking pretty slick. There actually seems to be much more of a story, too. So- who’s excited about this game?
Since the Tokyo Game Show is now in full swing, expect all kinds of crazy news and videos for the next few days. Among these is this gem of a trailer for the new Prince of Persia game (coming December 2nd), which I admit to being completely disinterested in until I saw a similarly awesome trailer for it at PAX.
I loved the first game in the series, and after that it started going downhill. This looks to be a step in the right direction, and I have to say, the art style is just gorgeous. Who else is pumped for this game?
