A new multiplayer trailer for Mondern Warfare 3 has emerged and fans will be glad to know that Infinity Ward are staying very true to their tried and tested formula. So much so that you could be forgiven for thinking that you were actually watching a Black Ops video. Or a Modern Warfare 2 video. Or a Modern Warfare 1 video!

No word yet on the inevitable map packs but we’ll keep you posted.

Relic’s manly man-killing simulator – Space Marine – is but a week away from unleashing it’s own brand of intense violence, blood and gore upon the world, and THQ have sent us another video to herald it’s arrival. Here we get to see the “Thunder Hammer” turning orcs into clouds of red mist. Delightful.

Did you try the demo yet? If you liked it, head here to see a carousel of all the different retailers THQ has given exclusive content to, so you can pick which “bonus content” you want to miss out on.

Proper opinion on this coming once it’s been formed (in the Criticism Forges of Mars).

It looks crazy but it just might work. N-Control has opened up preorders for the PlayStation 3 version of its Avenger controller cover, adding levers, pulleys, and other odds and ends to a controller design that’s worked perfectly well for over a decade.

The Avenger is meant to improve controller reaction times, giving players of games like Activision’s upcoming Modern Warfare 3 an advantage over their non-cybernetically enhanced controller using rivals. Ashcraft seemed to like the Xbox 360 version well enough, so maybe this is a thing you would like to have.

If so, you might want to hit up the preorder page quickly; N-Control is only releasing 5,000 units of the $48.99 device this November.

Um… wow. Now, I’m hardly an expert on Aliens videogames, but does anyone else think Colonial Marines looks extremely badass? Sure, plenty of games are set in dark sci-fi locales, and plenty of games have monsters pop out at you… but there’s something about seeing the aliens crawling just out of site, like cockroaches, that’s extremely unnerving… especially when they can kill your teammates in the blink of an eye. I don’t find many horror videogames that scary, but this… this looks genuinely a bit unnerving. Although it could probably use a little more Lance, if you ask me. Thanks to David V. for the tip!

Things That Make Me Happy #2: Good 2-D action-platform games. Also, things that are beautiful — so Atlus’ upcoming Trine 2 game makes me pretty goddamn happy indeed. Every time I hear there’s a new game trailer for it, I wonder, “Could it really be as good-looking as I remember? Nah. I must be remembering it wrong or something.” And then I watch the trailer, and all I can do is try to mop the drool off my keyboard. Seriously, Konami, I would set orphans on fire for you to give these guys a chance at a Castlevania game. Or not set orphans on fire, whichever you’d prefer. Just think about it, okay?

Deathspank will be making a triumphant return to the XBOX 360 at the end of this month, via The Baconing.

The third entry in the downloadable series of quests, laughs and mischief will be available on XBOX Live Arcade on August 31. It’s just one day later than the game’s PSN release date, as part of the PlayStation Network PLAY promotion. Unlike Bloodrayne: Betrayal, it won’t be receiving a lengthy delay because of a timed exclusivity deal or anything like that.

PC and Mac users will also be able to get in on the fun with this release, as its going to be making its rounds to their computerized platforms as well.

If you’ve played the last two games in this very popular series, then you’re surely getting ready for an epic feast. We’re very much the same and have already started getting ready for The Baconing‘s roasting later this month.

Lollipop Chainsaw is the ‘un-deadly’ story of sweet and killer zombie hunter Juliet Starling and her quest to uncover the root of a colossal zombie outbreak. With her wickedly awesome chainsaw in hand, Juliet slices, dices and splits her way through hordes of the undead, but soon realizes the horde is only the opening act to a festival of zombie rock lords determined to kill the chainsaw wielding cheerleader.

Like MI6, like MI6; aside from the single player campaign and online multiplayer, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Goldeneye 007: Reloaded will feature standalone missions that will task players with assault, elimination, stealth and defense objectives — like MI6.

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.

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…
