Gamescom 2011: SSX – Official Trailer

Posted on Aug 17, 2011 08:37:29 PM

Check out a Gamescom premiere trailer for SSX.

EA Sports looks to still any bad vibes that have reverberated from negative reaction to the debut teaser for SSX: Deadly Descents by toning down the emphasis on “deadly.” The company has officially dropped “Deadly Descents” from the game title, Game Informer confirms, and has begun a marketing campaign that, in part, assures fans that developer EA Canada is not abandoning the series’ arcade roots in favor of more realistic gameplay in the reboot.

Battlefield 3 Caspian Border Gameplay

Posted on Aug 17, 2011 05:40:43 PM

Sweet zombie Jesus. Up until now Battlefield 3 has been looking pretty damn amazing, but with the release of this gameplay video there can be no doubt. If you haven’t already got this badboy on pre-order you probably will after watching this. Crank it to 1080p, dim the lights, turn the volume up to 11 and enjoy…

Street Fighter X Tekken Gamescom 2011 Trailer

Posted on Aug 16, 2011 01:01:56 AM

New footage from Street Fighter X Tekken has dropped from Gamescom and it reveals some of the upcoming brawler’s new, flashy gamplay mechanisms. If you thought the game looked like a cynical cash-in that would bring nothing to the table it may be time for you to eat those words. Character switching, vertical launch attacks, Cross Rush combos, Cross Arts & Cross Assaults and they all look awesome. Combine that with a cast that spans Tekken, Street Fighter and other Capcom staples and you’ve got a recipie for eye-candy.

This is Capcom though, so be prepared for the Super version, Turbo version and Arcade versions that will be sure to follow adding new characters and costumes.

Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings fantasy franchise have to wait until 2012 to get their eyes on the first part of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit.

It’s not Episode 3, but for many, it will be the next best thing: a new Counter-Strike game.

Might and Magic Heroes VI Announces Its Announcement.

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 06:14:26 PM

I confess, I find the practice of teasing a future tease frustrating, and I’m not quite sure why the video game hype machine is so fond of this. It befuddles me. The actual “trailer” in question however, is not befuddling, but quite rousing, in an inspiring, high fantasy manner. But again. Using a tease to tease another tease. It’s a problem.

So what if I’m bitter.
