Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon Destruction Trailer (The Game Is Almost Here…)

Yes, yes… the game is in retail stores across North America on Tuesday, but here’s a peek at another UK trailer, this time focusing on stuff blowing up and falling apart extremely well indeed. I’ll post the awesome Survival/Field Guide tomorrow.

Atlus Shows Off Its Girl Catherine, Some Still Sexually (and Otherwise) Confused



Last evening (or afternoon if you were on the West Coast), Atlus did an incredible (and lengthy) Ustream demo of its upcoming PS3/360 game Catherine and based on the number of press attendees plus a decent sized group of just over 20 non-press oglers, this was their most successful streaming event to date. It's no wonder, given the interest shown in the game ever since screens and videos of the Japanese version started popping up on the Internet and gamers started begging for a localization.

While the single player mode was the main draw of the event, there was a bit of multiplayer shown that made for a really nice surprise. I have the feeling THAT mode just might break up a friendship or two in the same way The Adventures of Cookie & Cream did when things got too out of hand. Then again, in Catherine's MP, it's every sheep-horned man for himself (and it's a damn good thing it's only two players onscreen, given the hilariously zippy pace and violent pillow swinging action going on with the frantic block climbing).Read more »

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon "Fly-Through" Gameplay Trailer

Namco Bandai’s upcoming PS3/360 flight shooter packs a serious action movie punch with some supremely visceral combat sequences, oil “bleeding” planes and plenty of destruction in and out of the sky. I say give these guys the Colony Wars IP (and some top-notch writers) and see what they can do with space combat. But then again, I tend to over think that sort of stuff a wee bit too much.

Binary Domain Story Trailer: Nothing "New", But That’s Just Fine…

Holy cats, it’s summer already. Here’s a look at a story trailer from Sega’s upcoming sci-fi shooter. Sure, it’s a bit generic, but at the end of the day, it’s all about the game, the gameplay and whether both are fun to dive into. Speaking of, yes, the Duke review is late – I’m just about to complete the game for the third time just to prove a point. It’s a lot better than the reviews say, but it seems not a lot of today’s gamers (and sadly, some critics) have bothered to go back and play Duke Nukem 3D so they could see what was intended. Don’t worry Duke, I’m coming to save your ass!

E3 2011: Deep Black Trailer

http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/44GPhpAakuU?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0

I’d been looking at a few screens from this underwater action game for a while and this cool video is making me want tho start taking swimming lessons. I’m hoping the game manages to do something different other than just be a great-looking twist on the usual run ‘n gun game. So far, I’m definitely not complaining at all…

Nintendo @E3 2011: Day 2 and 3 Wrap-Ups

Bang and POW! Here are Nintendo’s own E3 videos featuring a ton of cool games and info. I’ll also be posting all of the 3DS and Wii trailers starting next week in case you missed them. Wii U videos as as well are coming. As for the stock drop as a result of the Wii U announcement… Hell, am I the ONLY one who got that darn presentation? Analysts are dopes ESPECIALLY if they’re not game developers or gamers. All I’ll say is this sort of inane speculation that drives stock prices down is ridiculous.

E3 2011: Capcom Booth Tour

Always a hit with gamers and journalist-types, Capcom’s E3 booth was PACKED with great upcoming titles this year. Check out the amazing amount of fun stuff coming your way games (and see some of the people who make them possible). BTW, Asura’s Wrath, Dragon’s Dogma and Street Fighter X Tekken are my three most-wanted games, but I’ll gladly take them all. No Monster Hunter in sight in this video, but give it time, folks. I’m sure Capcom hasn’t forgotten you loyal guys and gals…

E3 2011: The Lord of the Rings: War In the North Trailer: Massively Impressive Multiplayer, But Also Solo If You Want It!

 
Like a lot of you out there, I’m a HUGE admirer of Snowblind Studios’ gorgeous work, so every bit of info on this one has been swallowed whole and digested so it’s absolutely on my most wanted list. This tiny teaser of things to come shows promise and I can’t wait to dive into the more brutal (and accurate) version of Middle-Earth the team has crafted. Let’s hope there’s at least ONE portable version in the works (Vita, Vita, Vita!). Even if I don’t magically get a review copy, I’m buying this outright, day one…

E3 2011: Captain America: Super Soldier Prologue: Secret Level’s On the Right Track…

Can Cap rescue Sega from the not quite stellar superhero game doldrums? Well, I think it can, but I guess it’s up to you guys and gals with the wallets to decide. Here’s a look at a cool CG movie from the upcoming game. Remember kids, “When he’s led to a fight and a duel is due, then the red and the white and the blue will come through…”
