Grand Theft Auto V trailer reveals a return to San Andreas

Posted on November 2, 2011 by John Scalzo

After a week of waiting, the Grand Theft Auto V trailer is here! We don’t know everything but, thanks to these first moving pictures courtesy of Rockstar (if you’d rather not be spoiled, hit the jump to watch the trailer for yourself), we now know…

That Grand Theft Auto V will be set in San Andreas and appears to take place in modern day (at least, the cars look spiffy and modern). It stars a father (who sounds suspiciously like GTA veteran voice actor Ray Liotta) who has moved to San Andreas to make a better life for his family. But while there he gets involved in the guns and the armed robbery that the series is known for.

Developer Rockstar North is still keeping most of Grand Theft Auto V’s secrets to themselves as we didn’t get a release date or even confirmation the game is coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360. Is that confirmation of a Wii U version? Only time will tell.

You can find the full trailer after the break. (more…)

EA battles its way into the fight for this Fall’s most popular game as the company has announced that Battlefield 3 sold five million copies in its first week.

“From Tokyo to Los Angeles, Sydney to London, millions of fans have been playing all weekend long — we are overwhelmed by the global response to Battlefield 3,” said Patrick Soderlund, Executive Vice President of the EA Games Label. “It is extremely gratifying to deliver an entertainment experience that delights our fans, and to have the opportunity to introduce new people to the franchise.

Celebrate Halloween with a new Lollipop Chainsaw trailer

Posted on October 31, 2011 by John Scalzo

I think the whole world is aware of the fact that Lollipop Chainsaw is a ripoff of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” In case you had your doubts, the latest trailer for Suda 51’s next game introduces us to Morikawa, the old man who teaches cheerleader Juliet Starling how to slay the undead.

But after watching the trailer, I don’t think there’s anyone in the world who cares that Lollipop Chainsaw’s plot has been done before because it looks insanely awesome.

Lollipop Chainsaw will be released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2012.

GoldenEye 007: Reloaded launch trailer is downright classy

Posted on October 30, 2011 by Nicole Kline

James Bond doesn’t need a parachute, as he’ll show you in this trailer for GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, which launches this Tuesday, November 1, for the PS3 and Xbox 360. I am loving the remix of the classic Bond music, as well as Daniel Craig’s sexy voice. Keep it coming, Activision.
