E3: More Trailers, Everybody

Did you think you were done looking at all the exciting new developments in gaming? Think again. Trailers!

The Sims 3



That's right, you're not done with The Sims. They'll never stop. Soon enough, you're going to have a pet Sim that speaks a different language and is mostly interested in making sure his bladder bar is low.

Gravity



Ah, a simple puzzle-type game. Hey everybody, ever hear of Crayon Physics Deluxe? When's that going to happen? It looks like somebody is just carpetbaggin' that creative wave.

Singularity



Hmm...a mysterious shooter, eh? We shall see.

Fatal Frame (Japanese trailer)



Ooh, a horror game for the Wii! And it's not Resident Evil? I'm liking the sound of that. Let's just hope the gameplay can rival what Capcom has set in order.

PixelJunk Eden



Finally, cute and artsy comes to the PlayStation 3. Maybe with this and Little Big Planet they can get an edge on the Wii.

There's also a great trailer for Afro Samurai, the video game based on the epic cartoon starring Samuel L. Jackson, but since it's in HD, you should probably just check it out here.

Street Fighter IV



Wow. That's awesome.

Wolfenstein



Takin' care of goose-steppers never went out of style. Let 'em hear it, ya howlers! WAH-HOOO!

Oh, and here's a much better trailer for Sonic Unleashed.



De Blob



Colors! The Wii! Fun!

Oh, and about Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. There were a lot of gameplay trailers for the game. There are so many that I don't know where to start. You should watch all of them here.

WWE: Legends of Wrestlemania (and I'll skip the other wrestling games)



Castlevania Judgment



Eh. By the way, what villain actually yells, "Submit!" Nobody does that! They yell much more scary things. I know. I've fought them.

That's all for now. Enjoy!

"I Am Alive" Trailer is Chilling

There's no doubt about it. There were way too many awesome trailers that emerged from E3. One of the most impressive things was the trailer for a game called I Am Alive, the latest project from Ubisoft and Jade Raymond, the developer of Assassin's Creed.

There are a few things that get me about this trailer. For one thing, the game isn't a sequel, which is a huge relief. Yes, Mega Man 9 and Street Fighter IV and the other dozens of sequels do look pretty good. But my biggest complaint (especially for Nintendo's conference) is the lack of new, original ideas.

I Am Alive takes place in Chicago after a natural disaster of tears the city apart. Frankly, I think the scariest part of the trailer is how realistic the city of Chicago looks while it's being ripped apart. When I watched it, I said "Oh man, isn't that right near where I go to pick up my friends?" It's absolutely chilling. Check it out.

E3: Some Wii Trailers

The trailers just don't stop. Have some more - Wii style, babies!

Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels



This looks like it could be fun. Of course, like most Wii games, you'll look like a fool playing it, but perhaps it'll be a good lightsaber outlet.

Animal Crossing: City Folk



And now I give my lecture about the last Animal Crossing. I didn't like playing it. It made me feel obligated to get on and play it every day. When I didn't get on and play Animal Crossing in a few months, I got a lecture from everyone in my village. No thanks. I like playing games for fun, not computer-generated friendships (and the friends are needy).

Shaun White Snowboarding



Huh. Didn't they have a snowboarding game in arcades that let you, oh, stand on an actual board? I don't know. I'm not thrilled with what Nintendo has to offer. They need to come up with some new ideas that don't involve peripherals or overused characters. Fast.

E3: Trailers!

There are so many new trailers to go over. Here are a few that I'm pretty excited about.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game



Final Fantasy XIII



Sonic Unleashed



Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts



LEGO Batman



Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise



Resident Evil 5



Fable 2



Gears of War 2



Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 Fusion



Prince of Persia: Next Gen

E3: The Netflix News

I've mentioned a few times the hush-hush word about a possible Xbox/Netflix fusion plan. Well it has finally been officially announced. Some clever hackers had already come up with a way to do this, but now it has been made completely user friendly. Check it out.

This comes on the heels of other things that are all a part of the new Xbox experience. Translation: I need to buy one for my new apartment.

So Much...Happening...In Gaming News Today...

Today is day two of E3. The biggest gamer's conference in the country. There are so many new trailers, game announcements, and cool things going on today that I can't promise comprehensive coverage. But I'll try my best to give you what I feel merits some worthy attention.

Sonic Unleashed(?)

Looks a lot like the original Sonic platforms for the Genesis, right?


So there isn't an official announcement, but there has been a slew of rumors over the weekend. Sonic Unleashed is possibly making it to Xbox 360, PS3, and the Wii. From the sound of it, no official announcement will be made until E3 or May. It looks like a cross between a next-gen Sonic the Hedgehog and a follow-up to Sonic and the Secret Rings. Either way, it looks intriguing.

Messin' With the Kid

Rumors have been reeling about a new Kid Icarus game for the Wii. Seriously, you can't swing a cat in a video game blog without hitting some more speculation.

Personally, I never played the original game. I'm honestly only interested in the prospect of a new Kid Icarus installment because of how awesome Pit is in Super Smash Bros.

If there are any official announcements, I'll hit you with them - especially if anything arises from E3. But is anybody else hoping for this thing?
