STAR TREK - Kirk and Spock Enjoy Jumping in This Teaser

PROTOTYPE 2 - Live Action Trailer Gets All Sentimental on You

There sure has been a slew of live action trailers for games in recent years, and I am still not sure how I feel about them. Sometimes they can be well done, like this Prototype 2 trailer, but other times, they are poorly done and don't do justice to the content of the advertised games. It comes down to preference, though.

GHOST RECON: FUTURE SOLDIER - First Time Beta Gameplay

Now for you Call of Duty/Battlefield players, don't think you will pick up how to play the game immediately and go on killing spree, because this is not that type of game. But if I had to compare it to one of those two games, I would definitely compare it to Battlefield 3. Only because of the squad aspect, and how you all need to work together to achieve your goals... for more click here.

Runic Games: "Can't Commit to a TORCHLIGHT MMO Anytime Soon"

DISHONORED - Trailer Hints at Plot and Shows Off Brutal Gameplay

An image from this trailer was passed around yesterday and many thought that it was a screenshot of DLC for Skyrim. Well, those people were wrong. The photo that was being passed around was a screen-grab from the latestBethesda produced game, DishonoredDishonored is being developed by Arkane Studios, which is the same team that did BioShock 2. The game is set in a steam-punk universe and the character you play as can manipulate time. Your job is to carry out assassinations, and to make them super-bloody!... for more click here.

Debut Trailer - DRAGONBALL Z for KINECT Makes You Look Like a 10 Year Old

We knew this day would come; a fighting game based off Dragonball Z using our full body motions to pull off attacks famous from the show. But then again, I'm sure we all imagined that it'd look a lot more like the indie film Turbo than what we're actually being sold... for more click here.
