Company of Heroes 2: Teaser Trailer

Well now I'm just depressed


I think Company of Heroes 2 has pulled a first (or at least the first time I've seen this kind of marketing approach) in their first teaser for the upcoming war strategy giant. They seem to think that by playing their game, you are properly honoring and remembering the sacrifice of the Russian people. I have a difficult time coming to grips with this. There's a distinct difference between playing a video game that generally depicts history and participating in some memoriam for the unfortunately deceased. Call of Duty has been throwing us into "real" WW2 battles for years without claiming it was some way to honor those who lost their lives in the great war. Call me close minded, but its tough to set a video game to look epic and fun while making it respectful to the people it depicts.

Conflict aside, CoH2 absolutely killed at E3 and should be even better than the original. Keep an eye out for gameplay releases over the coming months to see what the game will really be like!

The Amazing Spider-Man Teaser Trailer

Buzzwords!


Looks like the Spider-Man reboot isn't limited to theaters this time around, as we have a teaser trailer for a video game featuring Spidey as well. Lots of reactions to the trailer involve the words "open-world" and I frankly can't agree with them enough. Spider-Man 2 was brilliant for having a (sort of) open world feature, and this next-gen attempt and the blue and red has all kinds of potential for an amazing New York City to web sling around. Just by looking at the few seconds of transit shows that Peter Parker will have an amazing amount of fluidity and animation; now let's just pray that it will translate into the rest of the game.

Hitman Absolution Gameplay Teaser Trailer

It's been a long time... shouldn't have left you

DISCLAIMER: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE


It's been far too long since a hitman game came out (and even longer since a good one was released) so imagine my joy when this trailer hit the airwaves. It's the beauty of this generation of consoles, the game looks better and appears to play better than its predecessors. But then again, we wouldn't have Hitman without the games that came before this one.

Existentialism aside, this teaser did exactly what it was supposed to do, it got me really excited to see the full length play through. Seems as though Hitman is coming back in a big way and I for one can't wait to welcome Agent 49 back with open arms. Assuming that I would see him coming in the first place.

This trailer is short but sweet, look out for the full length play through in the coming weeks. Oh, and ten points to anyone who caught the Aaliyah reference in the subtitle.
