Halo 4 "Red vs. Blue" Trailer

Talkin' bout November 6th

Rooster Teeth has really found a gold mine with their flagship web series "Red vs. Blue", and 343 is making an excellent choice using them in their advertising. I will now never forget November 6th, 2012 as the release date for Halo (how could I anyways?).

Most of the RvB goodness is in full effect here: Griff sarcastically questioning everything, Simmons kissing ass, Sarge being generally clueless and brutish, with the bonus of a Blue spy session. My only question: Where the hell was Caboose!? He's easily the most entertaining member of the Blue team (although Tucker making uncomfortable sexual jokes never gets old) and having him in the video would have been awesome.

Nevertheless, using RvB to promote the new Halo is a brilliant choice, and lots of their fans will be very happy about their inclusion.

Sim City "Water" Trailer

Don't drink the water...

So calling this video a "trailer" is a bit of a stretch, but what we see here is really cool. Sim City is synonymous with nostalgia for many gamers (including myself) so getting to see some features is never a bad thing. Proving that Sim City will be pushing for both realism and terrifying difficulty, we have the water system. 

Coloring the ground to show where the water is makes for an easy way to determine where you're town should go; any good simmer should know that you go where the water is. However, this quick trailer showed us that placement of other buildings, especially the ones that create pollution, can have a detrimental effect on your populations. As we saw here, keeping the power plant too close to the water tower caused pollution in the homes, and therefore some very sick sims. 

So it looks like water is going to be one of the many challenges facing you in the new Sim City... just behind the giant alien that comes from space to destroy everyone. 

Batman: Arkham City Lockdown - Poison Ivy Trailer

Girl, I must *warn youuuuuuu*

What could possibly make an Arkham City port on iOS better? Obviously throwing in Poison Ivey as extra bad guy and getting to kick the tar out of a possessed Robin. Not much else to see here in this quick 52 seconds, lots of the same Batman ass kicking with a little bit of Robin punching that I know tons of caped crusader fans will be dying to get their hands on. Someone get me an iPad!

...But seriously, can someone buy me an iPad?
