That leaked teaser for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm has now been officially released alongside the title’s first gameplay trailer, which you can view above. The trailer is heavy on the Zerg swarming across the universe, but as of right now, there’s still no release date for the expansion.
Hopefully, we’ll learn more at E3. And in case you missed it, hit the jump for another look at the teaser trailer, starring Nova and Kerrigan.

Scorpion and Sub-Zero continue to do battle in the second-to-last episode of Kevin Tancharoen’s Mortal Kombat: Legacy. I don’t think I need Scorpion’s spear to tell you to… come here!… and watch it. But it surely helps.
Next week, the entire tale (or at least this season) comes to a close with Sektor and Cryrax.
Hugh Laurie’s “House” may be done for the season, but the good doctor will continue to practice on the DSi Shop this Summer in House M.D.: Globetrotting.
The Trauma Center-like title is joined in today’s DSi Shop update by B Team Episode 1: Dust & Steel, a “hilarious” squad-based shooter, and Valet Parking 1989, a parking puzzle game with a Big Hair Decade twist.
The Wii Shop will receive two new games this week, Shin’en Multimedia’s futuristic racer FAST: Racing League on the WiiWare side and the Super NES classic Super Adventure Island on the Virtual Console side.
More information on all of these games can be found after the break.

Can’t get enough Portal 2? Well, lucky for you, Volume 1 of the game’s soundtrack, Songs To Test By, is available at the official Portal 2 website as a free download.
Just wait, there’s more. Valve has also promised two additional volumes in the Portal 2 soundtrack series will be released sometime in the future. The soundtrack is pretty impressive and currently dominating my iPhone, so for my fellow lovers of Portal 2, enjoy!
For science!
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s that time again to receive yet another obvious character tease announcement for Street Fighter X Tekken.
If you haven’t figured it out, it’s Julia from the Tekken series . Other characters that have been added to the roster are Sagat and Cammy. Is it just me or are these character reveals not as exciting as the ones for games such as the Marvel vs. Capcom series and Smash Bros Brawl series? Perhaps this is because we know for a fact that the only characters in this game will be from either Street Fighter or Tekken and that Capcom is not afraid to release a fighter with a 56-character roster list. Because Capcom has not released any word of the character roster limit, we may very well see almost every character from both the Street Fighter and Tekken universes.
Bungie declared July 7th to be Bungie Day back in 2007 and it looks like the famed developer plans to celebrate the made-up holiday again this year with some big announcements. Some big announcements possibly relating to their New Universe or Bungie Aerospace ventures.
Don’t believe me? Check out Friday’s Bungie Weekly Update:
Yup, truth told we have been less and less active on Bungie.net as of late. Part of that is owed to my aforementioned travel arrangements, but a significant amount of my time is also now being dedicated to other upcoming endeavors that won’t make a splash on the front page until Bungie Day closes in around us. Unfortunately, that means there are just too many balls in the air for me to juggle without letting a few fall to the ground.
Sounds like something big to me.
