Awesome! The trailer shows off Batman's aggressive new Fear Takedown, and the integration of Batmobile gameplay. The graphics also impress with a highly detailed cinematic look to the in-game engine.

The Peanuts Movie - First Official Trailer



Charlie Brown and Snoopy go 3D in the charming first official trailer for The Peanuts Movie. Good grief!



Definitely retains the classic feel of the humor and characters, which can only be a good thing. Not everything needs to be modernized. Hopefully this will turn out to be a fun family film.

Directed by Steve Martino (Ice Age: Continental Drift, Horton Hears a Who!), the film was partly written by Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz's sons, Bryan and Craig Schulz. This will be the first feature film based on the comic strip in 35 years.

The Peanuts Movie will arrive in US theaters on November 6, 2015.

Tales from the Borderlands - First Official Trailer



Welcome back to Pandora (again) in the first official trailer for Tales from the Borderlands, a new episodic series from Telltale Games.



The new adventure game certainly has the look and humor from the popular series. Borderlands fans should enjoy it even if it isn't a first person shooter. Here is some more info courtesy of Telltale Games....

"Tales from the Borderlands is a five part episodic game from the creator of The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series. Set on the unforgiving world of Pandora after the events seen in Borderlands 2, this is a story full of Borderlands' trademark humor, following two adventurers on their quest for greatness.

You'll play as Rhys, a Hyperion 'suit' with dreams of being the next Handsome Jack, and Fiona, a Pandoran con artist looking to score her biggest ever swindle. Thrown together as unwilling partners in an adventure to recover cash they both think is theirs, their journey will take you on a wild ride where gangsters, bandit lords, and Vault Hunters are just some of the obstacles you'll encounter, in this new take on the award-winning universe created by Gearbox Software."

The first episode of Tales from the Borderlands, called "Zer0 Sum," will be released "soon," and will be available for the PC, Mac, PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, and Xbox One. The first episode can be purchased for $5 on consoles, but a discounted season pass will be available at or shortly after launch. PC and Mac users can only buy a season pass, which will be $25. Android and iOS versions are also expected before the end of the year.
