Yummy and juicy

The world might be infested with rot and madness, but none of that’s stopping Juliet Starling from donning her favourite bikini and going out zombie slaying. This Japanese trailer for upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw is as mad as you’d expect, with sparkles, inappropriate clothing and gore all at the centre of the footage. There’s...

Loot 'em up

You’ve got a little over six months to get your OCD in check, as Gearbox has announced that compulsive looter Borderlands 2 is set to be unleashed on 18th September in North America and 21st September in Europe. While that date’s still some time away, Gearbox wants you to pledge your interest in the title early by rewarding all...

Done and dusted

After an outrageously protracted development cycle, 2K Games has finally attached a release date to Spec Ops: The Line. The sandy shooter is due out on 26th June according to a new trailer released by the publisher, which we’ve handily embedded below. (Don’t say we don’t do anything for you.) 2K also confirmed pre-order bonuses...

Touch to toss grenades

The PlayStation Vita easily has the strongest launch line-up in history, but it’s not got every base covered. The lack of a real military shooter is one area where it fall shorts – but thankfully Zipper Interactive will be remedying that soon after release. Unit 13 might not be registering on many people’s radar, but...

Down the line

The delayed guitar riff and soft voice over in this trailer might give you the impression that SEGA’s promoting life insurance or retirement homes, but it’s actually pimping soon-to-be-released PS Vita launch title, Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition. The trailer’s a back to basics affair, focusing on all of the game’s core...

Bringing the whimsy

Rayman Origins dashes onto PlayStation Vita tomorrow, and in order to mark the release, Ubisoft’s dropped a brand new trailer online. The Michel Ancel directed platformer is currently the highest rated PlayStation Vita title available, commanding an impressive Metacritic score of 89. If you were planning on picking up the title...

Snow cold

We're about to send a chill up your spine. It doesn’t matter if you’re sitting in a warm living room or office as you read this, the sight of SSX’s beautifully rendered snow should be enough to set your teeth chattering and goose bumps bulging. The game looks good though doesn’t it? It’s out next week.

Uncharted territory

The PlayStation Vita is far and away the most powerful handheld device ever designed. It’s that power which sets it apart from its competitors, serving up PlayStation 3 level graphics as opposed to the capped visuals we’ve come to expect from handheld devices over the years. In this latest episode of Inside PS Vita,...

Our last hope

If you weren’t ready for Mass Effect 3 before, this gorgeous CG trailer should get you in the mood. It shows the Reapers arriving on Earth. Thankfully, Commander Shepard’s around to kick some tail. The game’s out next month. Who’s excited?

Incredible

If our interview and exclusive wallpapers didn’t get you hyped for FuturLab’s upcoming PlayStation Mini, Velocity, then this lengthy gameplay trailer should. The game’s hook – aside from its retro arcade art-style and Joris de Man soundtrack – is the ability to teleport, which brings a brand new challenge to the traditional...

Even the Yakuza need a break

The Yakuza franchise has always been stacked with goofy mini-games, and you’d be foolish to think that a zombie epidemic would break that trend. No, the upcoming Yakuza: Dead Souls will be packed to the brim with quirky distractions such as fishing, table-tennis and, erm, pachinko. And yes, for those curious, all of...

Web slinger

Spider-Man 2 is by far one of our favourite PlayStation 2 games. The open-world action title was phenomenally well polished compared to the production values of most other movie tie-ins, and so we’re hoping that Activision and Beenox’s upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man reboot can match up to the quality of its licensed predecessor. It...

Finish him anywhere

We’re still finding PlayStation Vita trailers a little jarring. Take this latest Mortal Kombat footage released by publisher Warner Bros: it looks like a PlayStation 3 game. If it wasn’t for all the crazy augmented reality stuff – which is a neat addition to the fighter by the way – we’d still be struggling to remind...

Time to rescue the girl

Max Payne 3 isn't far away, and gamers of a certain vintage no doubt hope that it can live up to the high standards set by Max Payne and Max Payne 2. With Rockstar Games producing this new entry, it'll be interesting to see how this third title will vary from its predecessors. One area where it's set to carry on as normal is...

Taking it to the rooftop

Skip past this trailer’s lousy attempt at humour and you’ll be rewarded with a first look at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s latest DLC map. Dubbed Overwatch, the stage takes place in a construction site atop a New York skyscraper – which even the cynics have to admit sounds pretty neat. We’d love to give you a...

Cringe worthy

The Yakuza franchise gets away with its daft dialogue and silly plotlines because SEGA doesn’t even bother hiring voice-actors anymore. (We’re ignoring Eliza Dushku’s turn in the original title for obvious reasons.) It’s a shame, then, that SEGA hasn’t extended the same faith to Binary Domain – a title developed by the...

Ahead of the curve

Ubisoft had originally planned to release its Far Cry 3 trailer tomorrow, but seeing as it was leaked earlier today it's made the smart decision to go with it 24 hours early. Feast your eyes on the footage below and let us know what you think of it in the comments section below.

Platforming perfection

Naughty Dog may have secured its name in the mainstream gaming community with Uncharted, but the developer’s been kicking out great products for decades now – dating all the way back to the original Crash Bandicoot on PSone. The Jak & Daxter trilogy – originally released on PS2 – is amongst some of the...

Nail'd it

For all its faults, we rather enjoyed Techland’s Nail’d. The game did away with MotorStorm’s simulation aspects, opting for an off-road experience filled with massive air. And we mean massive air. Seriously, if you haven’t played the game, you can’t even comprehend how big some of the jumps in that title were. While Mad Riders...

Drake in your pocket

Up until now, our excitement for Uncharted: Golden Abyss has revolved around new hardware. Amidst the hype of OLED screens, rear touch panels and PS3-like graphics, we’d forgotten that there was an actual Uncharted game clamouring for our attention. But this trailer sends that message home. The game’s out on 22nd February...

Not long now

The PlayStation Vita unofficially launches in North America this week. We say “unofficially” because, well, even though the so-called First Edition Bundle is sanctioned by platform holder Sony, the system’s launch date will officially go down in history as February 22nd. It’s all a bit confusing, but the point is, Sony's eagerly...

Connected chaos

We’re hopelessly excited for Binary Domain, we really are. But the online component’s pretty meaningless to us, and this trailer affirms our ambivalence. Sure the gun-play looks solid, the maps look cool and the game modes seem interesting; but is anyone really going to choose to play Binary Domain over Call of Duty or...

Sultry dialect

Mass Effect’s a good series if you play as the bog-standard bloke Shepard, but it’s even better when you open your eyes to FemShep. Lovingly named by fans of the franchise, FemShep is voiced by the wonderful Jennifer Hale, who brings new depth to the character beyond the rough and ready male alternative. Belatedly acknowledging...

You don’t need a body to fall in love

Meet Juliet Starling and Nick Carlyle: high school darlings and prom couple royalty. Well, they were, until Nick totally got bitten by a zombie and Juliet was forced to chop off his head. Some might say it would be hard to hold onto a hot chick like Juliet without a body (chortle, chortle), but we reckon...
