Madden NFL 10 NFC East Showcase
EA’s latest batch of Madden NFL 10 media, including a new “sizzle” trailer and 41 screenshots, previews the teams of the NFC East division: the Cowboys, Eagles, Giants and Redskins. There’s been a lot of shuffling going on in the NFC East this off-season, what with T.O. getting dismissed from the Cowboys, the Redskins bringing in defensive stud Albert Haynesworth, the Eagles losing Brian Dawkins but rebounding with a strong draft, and the Giants going through all the hoopla with Plaxico Burress before ultimately getting rid of him. Should be a fun season in what is usually the most competitive division in the NFL, and it should be even more fun recreating the drama in the new Madden!
Divinity II Story Trailer Act I
dtp entertainment and developer Larian Studios have a three-part series of background story trailers lined up to build anticipation for upcoming PC and Xbox 360 RPG Divinity II: Ego Draconis — it’ll be out in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on July 24th; September elsewhere — and the first act in said series is right here for your viewing pleasure, with an accompanying story synopsis posted after the break.
Little King’s Story Goes Gold, Let’s Celebrate With New Gameplay Footage!
After a long time in the making, Little King’s Story is officially less than a month away from gracing the Wii with its kingly presence. XSEED Games and Marvelous Entertainment have announced that the charming life simulation/adventure/RTS/RPG hybrid has gone gold and will begin shipping across the US on July 21st. Pre-order with GameStop, EB Games Canada, Game Crazy or Amazon.com and you can get an adorably squishy Onii figure.
Also, posted on the jump you’ll find five new gameplay videos, each showing off one of the different job classes you’ll be able to recruit to your side as king, such as farmers, miners, chefs, hunters and carpenters.
Review: Rock Band Unplugged
I know this may be hard for younger gamers to believe, but it wasn’t too long ago that rhythm/music games were played by matching button presses with regular ol’ controllers rather than plastic guitars, drums and microphones. Before Guitar Hero and Rock Band, Harmonix rocked the PS2 with Frequency and Amplitude, an underappreciated duo of beat-making, track-switching rhythm games that laid the foundation for what has become the heart of today’s rock franchise giants. Now Harmonix has come full circle with Rock Band Unplugged, the new PSP game that brings the Rock Band series back to its Frequency/Amplitude roots.
Batman: Arkham Asylum Behind the Scenes
It’s time to go “Inside the Asylum” with Batman: Arkham Asylum, as Eidos, WB and Rocksteady have released the first installment in their Behind the Scenes documentary series for the game. Watch the video and watch for future installments as the game’s August 25th worldwide launch date on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 approaches.
Splinter Cell: Conviction Behind Closed Doors Part 1: Redefining Splinter Cell
Here’s the first part in a new “Behind Closed Doors” diary series on Splinter Cell: Conviction. In it Ubisoft talks about how Conviction redefines the Splinter Cell stealth experience with a new action-oriented “Prepare, Execute and Vanish” play style and accompanying mechanics like “mark and execute” quick kills and a “last known position” feature that pops up a ghostly figure of Sam at the last position the enemies saw him at. Pretty sweet stuff, I just hope all of these things don’t streamline the gameplay too much.
Darksiders Story Trailer
Even though it continues to be delayed — launch date is now set for January 1, 2010 — my hopes are still high for THQ’s PS3/X360 action-adventure game Darksiders (the Wrath of War subtitle has apparently been dropped), and this new trailer only boosts my expectations higher. Every time I see it, the game looks a bit more polished, a bit more epic. And is it just me or has the game taken on a very World of Warcraft-esque art style?
Box Art Alert: Dead Space Extraction
A little more enticing than a severed hand floating in space, Dead Space Extraction’s box art shows greater character and excitement than the original PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 game’s cover. Don’t you agree?
NBA 2K10 Gets Kobe-Filled Anniversary Edition
