No, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl (yes, I had better things to do.) So, I missed this funky new ad until I got a call saying the video was up on YouTube. My response: “Ah-ha!” followed by “Well, what the… ewwwwwww!” Yeah,yeah, that other BIG secret Sony was clinging on to (ha ha) that wasn’t so secret is out. There WILL be a PSPhone. It’s the Ericsson Xperia Play (the same model you probably already saw over at Engadget) and yup, it’ll be coming your way soon enough. Android enabled, PS Suite packed and ready for your gaming needs. Oh, and it’s got a phone in case you feel the need to call someone and ask for directions because you totally missed your train stop while engrossed in that portable version of Killzone or whatever.

Er, who won the game anyway?

Battlefield 3 Trailer Shows DICE Is a Big Teaser

Not that I was expecting much in a mere teaser, as the game isn’t hitting until this Fall, but gee, DICE… some color, next time? Ah well… here’s a cool image I grabbed just to make this post a bit more exciting. Of course, when you see a trailer this dull, that only means the actual game is going to blast you out of your shoes. If anything, based on the beta included with Medal of Honor LE, B3 should be pretty damn insane no matter what console or up-to-date PC rig you play it on.

Some Friday Night Frights From WBIE…

Posted on February 4, 2011 by geelw

Um…. Hmmmmm. ONE of these promo images from WBIE I got this week scares the hell out of me and one doesn’t. I’ll leave you to decide which one. Let’s hope I’m all wrong for being a bit jittery… Maybe it’s all that caffeine or lack of sleep (one leads to another and next thing you know… you’re all wacky about the littlest things)…

Capcom gets rolling with this brief taste of the upcoming motorcycle racer which looks to be a nice mixture of real-world tracks, bikes and riders with a mix of arcade and simulation gameplay. The release date for the Monumental Games-developed title is March 15, 2011 on the PS3 and Xbox 360. I’ll see if I can dig up some cover art and post it shortly…

Insomniac is certainly living up to its name, cooking away on two solid PS3 releases (plus a few other projects we'll no doubt be hearing about come E3). Here's a look at gameplay footage from Ratchet & Clank's upcoming multiplayer-centric action game, plus two earlier introductory trailers below the jump. Er, Sony? I'll take a dozen to go, thanks… or at least some beta codes to give away to the readers if that's going to happen…

Omega Force's first 3DS title is of course, an entry in the long-running Mousou franchise and yup, it's packing pretty much everything that makes the series just plain fun into Nintendo's powerful new little handheld. As these screens and two excellent videos show, the console-quality graphics and dynamic gameplay fans of the series have come to expect are definitely here in full force.

Dead or Alive Dimensions looks to bring the long-running series back where it belongs as a fighting game franchise and based on these excellent screens and character renders, things are coming along quite nicely indeed. I'd say as long as there's no beach volleyball mode to be found in the game, this one's got 'Winner!” stamped all over it. Tecmo Koei and Team Ninja are certainly proud of their baby, releasing more screens than I've seen from other 3DS title to date. Just for fun, I've also added two more UK trailers that feature gameplay footage below the jump. Enjoy the gallery!

Even without the insane 3D effect making your eyes pop out of your head saying “oooooooh”, this trailer for Evolution Studios’ upcoming PS3 exclusive racer is just plain spectacular, over the top insanity. Keep this one on your radars, folks – the game is really turning out to be a total blast. Now if only Sony would revive and give Evolution the Rally Cross license and let them have at it, I’d be an even happier gamer!

Trinity: Souls of Zill O’ll Epic Trailer

Here’s a peek at the final English-language trailer for Koei Tecmo’s single player fantasy Action/RPG, set to hit US stores on February 8, 2011 (and UK outlets on February 11) exclusively for the PS3. Omega Force’s super-stylized visuals are pretty neat overall. If the story is decent, this might be a bit of a sleeper in a VERY busy month full of games (in an even crazier year stuffed with more!). 2011 is turning into the turduckhen of game years, it seems…

Super Monkey Ball 3D Trailer

Stupidly cute and funny trailer for Sega’s upcoming 3DS game which should have quite a few commuters rolling off subway and bus seats worldwide once its released. The Super Monkey ball games are always a ton of fun (more fun than a barrel of… well, you know), but the addition of the third dimension should make things really nuts… er, make that bananas!
