Street Fighter V - Rashid Reveal Trailer



Capcom revealed new Middle-Eastern fighter Rashid in the newest trailer for Street Fighter V!



Rashid looks like a really fun character. He is incredibly agile, which fits well with his unique wind-based attacks. But what is with that scouter he wears over his left eye? Maybe there is an interesting backstory to the "Turbulent Wind".

Rashid joins the savage Necalli as newcomers to the series. Street Fighter veterans Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, and R. Mika have also been announced as part of the roster.

No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Street Fighter V - R. Mika Reveal Trailer



R. Mika makes her long-awaited return in the newest trailer for Street Fighter V!



Stone Cold Stunner at the 30 second mark! Rainbow Mika originally debuted in Street Fighter Alpha 3 back in 1998, but has been missing from the fighting game scene until now. She is bringing along a tag team partner (Yamato Nadeshiko) this time around, which looks like an interesting game mechanic.

R. Mika joins Street Fighter veterans Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, and savage newcomer Necalli.



No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Fallout 4 - First Official Trailer



Bethesda has finally released the first post-apocalyptic trailer for Fallout 4!.... "War never changes."



I really appreciate that Bethesda chose to use in-game graphics rather than trying to wow us with pre-rendered cutscenes. It gives us a much better idea of what to expect from the game, such as the familiar aesthetics we've come to expect from the series, and the huge open world. Kudos on getting Ron Perlman to come back as well.

Bethesda promises to show more at their E3 Showcase on Sunday, June 14th at 7pm PT.

No release date has been announced, but Fallout 4 will arrive for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Street Fighter V - M. Bison Reveal Trailer



M. Bison returns in the newest gameplay trailer for Street Fighter V, and he's a little different than you remember.



Check out the white hair and longer coat. Those are small changes but they help make the old dictator feel a little fresher. In addition, his moveset looks to have changed a bit as well. Bison's attacks look flashier, but they also look like a lot of fun to try out.

M. Bison is now the fourth character to be revealed for the new fighting game along with Ryu, Chun Li, and a cyborg Charlie Nash. Those who preorder the game in North America will automatically be enrolled in the beta access program. Can't wait to see what else Capcom reveals for Street Fighter V.

No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Batman: Arkham Knight - "All Who Follow You" Trailer



Nightwing, Robin, and Catwoman join the fight in the latest trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.



The new trailer is showing off the new "Dual Play" mechanic, which Warner Bros. says allows players to "switch seamlessly between The Dark Knight and his allies including Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman in free-flow combat." Sounds like developer Rocksteady Studios is working very hard to make this an amazing last entry in the Arkham series.

Here is a short synopsis for the game:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the 'Batman Arkham' series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City."

Batman: Arkham Knight will arrive on June 23rd for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Mortal Kombat X - Official Launch Trailer



Check out the bone-crunching launch trailer for Mortal Kombat X, featuring music from System of a Down.



The trailer was directed by Shavo Odadjian, a member of the band System of a Down. He did a great job putting the imagery from the game together with his band's hit song, "Chop Suey!" The trailer definitely got me pumped for the game.

Here's a synopsis:

"Mortal Kombat X is NetherRealm Studios' next highly-anticipated installment in its legendary, critically acclaimed fighting game franchise that propels the iconic franchise into a new generation. The game combines cinematic presentation with all new gameplay to deliver the most brutal Kombat experience ever, offering a new fully-connected experience that launches players into a persistent online contest where every fight matters in a global battle for supremacy. For the first time, Mortal Kombat X gives players the ability to choose from multiple variations of each character impacting strategy and fighting style. Players step into an original story showcasing some of the game's most prolific characters including Scorpion and Sub-Zero, while introducing new challengers that represent the forces of good and evil and tie the tale together."

Mortal Kombat X will arrive on April 14th for the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, and PS4.

Batman: Arkham Knight - "Gotham is Mine" Trailer



Batman must protect Gotham from Scarecrow in the newest trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.



Each trailer looks better than the last one. It appears Poison Ivy is returning along with The Riddler, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, and The Penguin. Could not help but notice the heavily armed thugs as well. Each Arkham game has raised the stakes and this one looks to do the same. However, Rocksteady Studios appears to be pushing the envelope even further than before, seeing as this is the first Batman game to be rated M for its mature content. Nonetheless, considering how good Arkham Asylum and Arkham City were, this is a game that should be on almost everyone's radar.

Here is a short synopsis:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the 'Batman Arkham' series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City."

Batman: Arkham Knight will arrive on June 2 for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Street Fighter V - Charlie Nash Gameplay Trailer



Sonic Boom! Capcom revealed a new gameplay trailer for Street Fighter V, featuring the long-awaited return of Charlie Nash.



Wow, so Nash definitely learned some new moves. This is no doubt a result of his new cyborg body. Just like with Ryu and Chun-LI, Nash appears to have those watercolor flourishes first used in Street Fighter IV, though it appears each fighter's flourishes will look more unique this time around in terms of color. We also caught a glimpse of Bison at the end as well.

If that news isn't exciting enough, Capcom also announced that those who preorder the game in North America will automatically be enrolled into the beta program. Great! Now I just need to buy a new console.

A release date has yet to be revealed, but Street Fighter V will arrive exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Mortal Kombat X - Kitana and Kung Lao Gameplay Trailer



Kitana and Kung Lao return in the newest gameplay trailer for Mortal Kombat X!



It is nice to see Goro brought back into the mix, though it is too bad he is pre-order DLC. Nonetheless, there seems to be a nice mix of old favorites and new fighters for the newest iteration of the gory fighter.

Mortal Kombat X is set to release on April 14 for the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, and PS4.

Street Fighter V - Announcement and Gameplay Trailers



Capcom has released two new trailers for Street Fighter V, exclusive to PS4 and PC. First, check out the official announcement trailer.



That was inspiring. Nice nod to the history of the franchise, while teasing the future. Now watch the gameplay trailer.



The graphics definitely look much better than before. The character models have improved, and the draw distance makes the stage feel much larger. Nice little touch with the lights breaking when Chun-Li kicked Ryu in front of it. Hopefully all stages have little effects like this. It really makes the stages feel more alive, and the fighters more powerful.

Also noticeable was the return of the water color look from Street Fighter IV, although Chun-Li's water color effects were a light blue. Perhaps each fighter will have their own color effects, which would add to their individuality.

The big question is what gameplay elements has Capcom added to make this game worthy of the number 5? Cross platform play was announced, so both PS4 and PC gamers can play with each other. Furthermore, Ryu went through a wall to reveal more of the stage, which showcases how large the stages have become. It looks great but hopefully there will be more than that. Capcom will be releasing a video of the first Street Fighter V match next week, so we should find out then.

No release date has been revealed, but Street Fighter V will arrive exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Batman: Arkham Knight - ACE Chemicals Infiltration Trailer: Part 3



Batman kicks butt in the final part of the ACE Chemicals Infiltration trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.



Shown today at Sony's PlayStation Experience event, the gameplay looks amazing. Great way to end off the big trailer. The PS4 exclusive Scarecrow mission looks impressive as well.

Here is a short synopsis for the game:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise.

Batman: Arkham Knight - Ace Chemicals Infiltration Trailer: Part 1



Batman infiltrates ACE Chemicals in the new gameplay trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.



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.

This is just the first part of 3 trailers, with the remaining 2 set to debut next week. The second will arrive on December 1, and the last will be shown on December 6 during Sony's keynote at PlayStation Experience.

Here is a short synopsis for the game:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - Gamescom Last Hope Trailer



Claptrap shows off his skills at Gamescom in the "Last Hope" trailer for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!



The catchy song from the trailer is "Come with Me Now" by the Kongos.

If you looked carefully, you will have noticed Claptrap showing off several different action skills including one where he transforms into a little pirate ship, and one where he grows wings like a Siren. Perhaps his action skill is random?

If you blinked, you may have missed an appearance by Roland and Lilith. It is worth going through the trailer again and pausing a few times. So far, the game is looking like a worthy followup. It has the personality that fans have come to expect.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will be available in the US on October 14th for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Batman: Arkham Knight - E3 Gameplay Trailer



In case you missed it, Warner Bros. and developer Rocksteady Studios debuted an impressive new gameplay trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight at Sony's E3 press conference. Check it out now!


It makes sense that this game is only for current-gen consoles since the game features highly detailed but expansive environments. The Batmobile is not just for show, as it serves an important function for traversing the streets of Gotham and dispatching enemies. The ability to launch Batman out of the cockpit is also a really nice looking and practical feature.

What little has been shown looks great so far. Rocksteady has a proven track record with the Batman franchise as they always aim to make each game bigger in scope, while adding gameplay elements that are both fun and help overcome the new challenges that arise from creating a larger game.

Batman: Arkham Knight is set to release next year for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is scheduled to release on October 14th for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT Delayed Until 2015, Batmobile Battle Mode Revealed



As previously thought, Batman: Arkham Knight is being pushed back until next year. According to Rocksteady's Dax Ginn, the reasoning behind the delay is because "Awesome takes time." To assuage fans, Rocksteady has released this reveal trailer teasing the Batmobile Battle Mode.



The Batmobile looks great, and Rocksteady has the track record to keep their promise of making a truly awesome game. More will be shown at E3 so keep this one on your radar.

Batman: Arkham Knight will be released next year on the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - Athena the Gladiator Gameplay Video



2K Games recently announced Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel for the PC and last-gen consoles. Taking place before Borderlands 2, the new game is developed by 2K Australia, as opposed to Gearbox, the developer for the first two games. Nonetheless, 2K promises the same great gameplay and sense of humor from previous iterations, but with some noted additions to gameplay such as freeze guns and low gravity.

There will be four characters/classes to choose from, all of which were non-playable characters from previous Borderlands games. The main characters include Athena "the Gladiator," Hyperion engineer Wilhelm "the Enforcer," Lynchwood sheriff Nisha "the Lawbringer," and the funny little robot, Claptrap "the Fragtrap."

Each character will have their own abilities which you can customize as they level up.

2K Games and IGN released a 15-minute Athena demo to show off what gamers can expect from the new gameplay mechanics. Check it out below!



The game certainly seems to be shaping up quite nicely. The gameplay is familiar, but the new mechanics are interesting and could help keep things fresh. The only potential downside could be the oxygen tank system, which looks like it could hamper adventuring. Otherwise, additions like ice and laser-based weapons look like fun.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is scheduled to release later this year for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.
