The
Prophet has never been as brash as he is in this new trailer for Crysis
3, where he spends thirty seconds strutting and striding to the boxy
tones of ZZ Top. Yes, it’s silly. But it made us giggle. Click through
to see the action.
Far Cry 3 is out soon. November 29 in the UK, say Ubisoft, though whether we'll hear news of a PC delay between now and then is another matter entirely. Either way, here's a wonderful Far Cry 3 trailer that's all about story and plot. In order to save his friends from a band of insane tropical pirates, Jason must first change himself by taking a lot of drugs, exploding a great many things, punching some big fish and discovering the true meaning of Christmas. Watch!
"Please don't judge him for what he might have to do," says the voiceover in this latest trailer which, thank heavens, doesn't feature any dubstep. The voiceover also paints Agent 47 in a rather more positive light than the year's earlier (and rather tacky) nun-blasting preview did.
Mad Max taught us that we don't need a bullets to steal a car, we just need an empty shotgun, an intimidating, leather outfit, a few years in the scarring, Austrailian film industry and then we can walk away with any vehicle unhindered. Carnage has taken that lesson, and others, and through the process of magic turned it into a multiplayer shooting game with cars and helicopters and tanks and stuff.Our Spotlight units plug content our journalists have made, that our advertisers want to promote. Sometimes the promotion is paid for, but the content they go to is always independent with no client oversight or approval.
There's a lot coming in the new EVE Online Expansion; more than just its core improvements to the bounty hunting system. That's why this new trailer from CCP goes into what each development team is working on.
Assassin's Creed's protagonist Altair wasn't a barrel of laughs. I'd go so far as to say he was about as welcome as a damp onesie. Ezio reversed that, so much so three games were made with him as lead. If the new Assassin's Creed 3's trailer is anything to go by it looks like we may be back in the dumps; protagonist Connor doesn't crack a single smile as he sees his people killed, his land ravaged, and his place in society torn away.
Disco's dead, or at least one disco dancer is. The new Hitman: Absolution trailer 'The Kill Mode' shows a number of ways in which you can use the environment to kill your targets, including crushing someone with a glittery death ball.
Black Ops 2's Zombie mode has been teased both well and badly for the past year. At last the veil's been lifted and we learn a bit more about the mode. You are on bus touring the zombie infested country, stopping off to clear areas of the horde before continuing on your merry way.
The sad truth behind 90% of alien invasions is that, while very exciting and full of lasers, they so often lead to some casualities. In XCOM: Enemy Unknown (in which the enemies are some of the same ones from the last XCOM game and so are, by definition, 'known'), those casualities are the good men and women at your command. When they shuffle off this mortal coil, they can't shuffle it back on. I've no idea how mortal coils work, but I'm fairly certain they only shuffle one way. Anyway, perhaps this XCOM: Enemy Unknown trailer will shed some light on the subject of death and coils.
So that Black Mesa Source video, the one from On Rails that was awfully impressive and very nostalgic all at the same time, turns out to not be exactly official, as far as modding can ever be official. In a post on the Black Mesa Source forums, ‘Raminator’, the Lead Developer on the project, has done a quick FAQ replying to the release of the video. “Someone showed someone else something that shouldn’t have, and that someone else decided to share that something with the internet."
Crytek have taken a leaf from Dishonored’s choose-your-own-adventure book, giving you the choice of watching the same Crysis 3 mission played through twice in this interactive trailer - once stealthily, once, well, not.
History! Today is all about yesterday, with Total War: Rome II's slow-motion, dog-barking, sex-murdering trailer facing off against Assassin's Creed 3's slow-motion, patriot-heartening, Amazingly Gracious trailer. Assassinations! Caligulations! But which one is the most historical? Which one has been slowed down more? You decide, by taking a look.
Blizzard have been quietly, modestly honing and perfecting their movie making skills over the last decade. They're now quite good at doing CGI sequences where a woman looks confusedly at her hands, and her hands start glowing with some nice wispy particle effects, and then she points her hands at a baddie and lots of magic comes out while both the baddie and the woman look surprised about it. So you should be excited that the opening cinematic of upcoming World of Warcraft expansion Mists of Pandaria will be shown on day one of Gamescom - that's August 16. It might feature a panda with magic hands.
Come September, the time between the original Company of Heroes and the release of the second game will be longer than the war they're set in: WW2 lasted six years and one day, but gamers will have to wait longer than that to strategically block the Nazis' assault on Russia Company of Heroes 2. Time to appease you with a new trailer, telling the background of the game's setting. 
There's a scene in this seven-minute Assassin's Creed 3 walkthrough where you can see a man skinning a deer, peeling off its skin like it's a great fleshy banana so that its epidermis hangs around its upturned flanks like a terrible meat-skirt. I found it quite a striking animation (and sound), but the game's creative director Alexander Hutchinson doesn't comment on it. Instead he opts to discuss the numerous other (often just as bloody) changes being made to gaming's finest bad-man stabbing simulator. Have a watch.
It's about time we heard about Thief 4, Eidos Montreal's follow-up to the the classic stealthy series. As fitting for a game about subterfuge, what we've got is unofficial leak: a cinematic taken from an artist's trailer. It's low-res, a bit grimy, but it has Garrett, bows, and loot glint.

Upcoming horror title Lucius gets an E3 trailer, it looks a little spooky.
There’s no better way to advertise adult content than to put an innocent kids’ song over the top. Dishonored’s E3 trailer plays out to a child singing an altered version of traditional shanty Drunken Sailor while the haemoglobin liberally flows. It’s also the first video to show Dishonored’s gameplay, which has been richly documented but rarely seen.
The new trailer for Tomb Raider begins with the gruesome and painful impalement of the young Lara Croft. Ooooh, how prurient of you Crystal Dynamics! Could you be Freudianly suggesting that the Tomb Raider reboot documents the transition of Lara from innocent girl to feisty woman?
