A slightly longer and sweeter version of the original trailer already posted. Wait for the bit at the end where Deadpool gets a nasty surprise courtesy of Morrigan

Portal 2 Teaser Trailer.

Looks like we’re having another round of Aperture science training!

Still no word on a possible Half Life connection, but we can hope.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Gameplay Video Mega Man Legends Stage.

A preview of the upcoming Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 showing off the gameplay. No big surprises here. Deadpool’s voice clips are funny (He does a Shoryuken too, just like in the comics, and breaks the 4th wall shouting “You pressed the wrong button!” if he dies) although they probably will get old quickly with all the repetition.

Metal Gear Solid Rising E3 Debut.

Kojima is trolling us as usual, so there’s no Solid Snake in the new Metal Gear game, and plenty of Raiden for our sins.

On the other hand at least it’s cyborg Raiden this time rather than naked femme looking Raiden with girlfriend troubles, by the looks of it, so we’ll forgive him this time, like we always does. He does love us, really, he doesn’t mean to hurt us. *sniff*

Anyway, gameplay seems to be focused on the concept of “cutting” with your awesome cyborg super katana, apparently everything in the enviroment or nearly everything is going to be destructible in highly specific ways, which looks like it has the potential for some amusing gameplay moments.

It seems the “controversial” taboo this game was set to break is that of dismemberment, since Raiden is seen turning several enemies into sushi. While the mechanics are new and innovative, the idea of instagibbing an enemy has been around since Quake so I doubt it’s really going to be such a big deal.

Could be wrong though!

Looking good. It seems they chose to make a sequel of sorts to the actual movie rather than adapting the movie itself. Interesting choice.

Aliens vs. Predator™ – Story Trailer.

Rebellion is creating a 3rd installment of their popular flagship title, Aliens Vs. Predator (4th if you count the ill fated AvP on the doomed Jaguar console, I almost bought the console just because of that game)

The gameplay videos seem to show familiar gameplay, similar to the first two games, we’ll have to see what the story campaigns are like, terrifying as AvP 1 or cinematic like AvP 2 but the multiplayer will no doubt be a strong contender.

Preorder Alien vs Predator

Spectacular as all hell. We’ll see how the gameplay holds up.

Also, is that the ISS blowing up halfway through?? Oh noes…

We feared it would never come to pass but finally after many troubles and tribulations the Ghostbusters videogame is a reality! Alleluyah!

We’ll probably never get another movie (At least not with the original cast, but this will just have to do, and nicely it does too by the looks of it!)

A new cast of player characters and a focus on melee seems to be the leivmotiv of this new version from Valve of the highly popular zombie team shooter.

There have been some grumblings among the fans that this is too soon for a sequel and that it reeks of cash-in, but we’ll just have to wait and see. The opening cinematic looks sweet, as always.

Left 4 Dead – Game of the Year Edition

Check out another trailer for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, this is apparently set in the recent “superhero civil war” storyline that pit half of the supers against the other half, with Captain America leading one faction that was against registration versus Iron Man who led the pro registration faction.
