Guns, babes, dubstep and…talking tacos!? I’ve probably seen thousands upon thousands of launch trailers in my gaming lifetime, but in all those years there haven’t been many as downright insane as the new Deadpool trailer released to celebrate this week’s game launch on PS3, Xbox 360 and Steam. I just hope the game is as fun to play as it is to watch.

As much as he would like to play every single role in his own game, after some time on the couch Deadpool now recognizes that there’s more than enough room for some of his other Marvel mutant pals to join the chimichanga party, also known as the Deadpool video game for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Deadpool has already expressed his fondness for Domino’s bewbs and mistakenly fondled Cable’s, and now his attention turns to admiring the hot piece of super heroine ass that is Psylocke and the brainy super villain with a rhyming name, Mister Sinister.

Where these mutant guest stars fit into the game’s storyline is not yet known. But who really cares? The Deadpool game now has Psylocke and Mister Sinister. Sweet!

Batshit bonkers Marvel Comics anti-hero, Deadpool is taking extreme measures to promote the upcoming video game he stars in and also is developing and publishing all on his own.

The dude they call the Merc with a Mouth has negotiated deals with top video game retailers Amazon.com and GameStop/EB Games to offer exclusive bonus merch for pre-ordering the Deadpool game, which ships June 25th on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Your pre-order prizes for shopping with Amazon are a $5 credit towards Marvel graphic novels, a digital cover sleeve, and a digital wallpaper graphic of Deadpool sexily staging a romantic chimichangas for two dinner by the fireplace.

GameStop’s pre-order offer is a bit more substantial, including “Merc with a Map Pack” DLC containing two maps for use in Challenge mode; D-Pooly and Uncanny X-Force bonus costumes Deadpool will be able to rock in the game’s unlockable Infinite mode; and, for PowerUp Rewards members, an absolutely epic wallpaper of Deadpool riding a unicorn. Mind. Blown.

In the US, GameStop is also planning a special launch party at the store location that pulls in the most pre-order sales. Yes, Deadpool himself will make it a true party with a live appearance. So go pre-order already. Deadpool is one hombre you don’t want to cross.

Wanna see Deadpool fondle Cable’s man-bazookas? Well, you’re in the right place.

But that’s just the tip of the bat-shit crazy iceberg for the dude they call the Merc with a Mouth, as you’ll quickly discover after watching the reveal trailer Deadpool created to promote the game he is making and publishing all by himself (or selves). Activision and High Moon Studios have something to do with it too, I guess, but only if the man who loves chimichangas says so. Don’t expect Deadpool to take the blame if the game flops.

Deadpool will leave skid marks in your pants this summer on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Better start stocking up on clean underpants now…

Forget Romney and Obama, a new presidential candidate has emerged at the last minute for your consideration this fine election day. None other than the Merc with a Mouth himself!

If you haven’t cast your ballot yet, swing by the nearest voting station and write in Deadpool as your choice for U.S. President. He doesn’t have a message as beautiful as ‘Hope and Change’, but his vision for America is one filled with bewbs, hot chicks, lots of burritos and chimichangas, katanas, big guns and more bouncy things that may or may not be bewbs. That doesn’t sound so bad.

I’m sure Deadpool would love to have Domino as his VP running mate, but of course he’s so crazyawesome, he can handle both jobs at the same time. Just imagine the heated arguments he’ll find himself in with himself over what to do about the economy or how to deal with Iran getting nukes. Oh, to be inside that head of his would be a real trip.

Two bits of Deadpool video game news out of New York Comic-Con over the weekend.

Item #1: Deadpool himself sat down for a brief Q&A with developer High Moon Studios to talk about why he wanted female mercenary Domino to star in his upcoming game. This is Deadpool we’re talking about, so don’t expect him to tell you it’s because of her exceptional marksmanship. He just wants a date (and a free run at third base).

Q: Deadpool, why did you choose to include Domino in your video game?

A: Dude, no brainer, man. Have you seen pictures of her? She is smokin’ hot. And if that wasn’t enough (it totally is) she also knows how to handle a gun which turns me on. She has a soft spot for pancakes in large volumes, loves blowing things up, knows my GUY (sorry, spoilers!) AND she owes me a date. (there’s the important part) So this is kinda like that: a date. I figure her Mutant power will help her ‘get lucky’ with me. (we see what you did there) Cross your fingers for a happy ending! Did we mention that she is stupid hot?

Q: Is Deadpool’s version of Domino different than how she is shown in the comics?

A: Why would you take a work of art like Domino and mess with her? She’s got that lucky feeling that a person wants to be a part of. Get us some of that! So my minions at High Moon modeled her sweet body into the game just the way Deadpool (that’s me) likes it. The fans will appreciate High Moon’s careful attention to (her bewbs) detail and clear love of the Marvel comic universe when they see her in game. It’s called craftsmanship!

Q: How does Domino fit into the storyline? What are her motivations?

A: Whoa hey spoiler alert! How about this: You give us 60 bucks and then we’ll give you the answer. The ride is awesome, but the price of admission must be paid, you dig? It’s been easy leading the guys at High Moon to create my game with an epic story and fill it with loads of other Marvel hotties to battle with. (and against. and kiss) Once we have your cashola then the exploration of this totally new and totally kick-ass game story crafted by me can begin! (don’t forget Marvel author Daniel Way) Oh yeah. Him. Right. So it’s a co-lab. That’s short for collaboration!

Q: Deadpool, what excites you about having Domino in your game?

A: (bewbs) What? (be honest) Did you people read the answer to my first question? Sheesh. This is all for her. Neena deserves this shot at the big time. She works hard! (not as hard as ME) My game is gonna be HUGE and it will be perfect for her to skyrocket to the ‘A-list’. Then she will owe me another date and we can get to second base, baby! (let’s steal second and go to third) There was that one time Domino tied me to a bed. THAT excites me! She said it was for my own good and so the X-Men wouldn’t look bad. But we know what she was really after. (let’s do that again, soon) Guess her powers weren’t working that day. So yeah, what excites me about having Domino in my game? Totally bewbs.

Item #2: Activision sent over this hilarious footage of Deadpool cruising the show floor at San Diego Comic-Con (footage of his NYCC exploits will be coming later I’m sure), annoying the hell out of folks with his merc with a mouth schtick. Deadpool is so awesome. I want his game right now.

When Deadpool isn’t peeing himself from bouncy-house excitement or shattering a dude’s face with his fist, the Merc with a Mouth likes showing off his big guns for the chicks. He’s so buff, even his back muscles look good.

Deadpool shows off more of his butt-kicking skills and his repertoire of poses in these new screenshots from Gamescom.

Old school Transformers fans, Activision and GameStop have a special pre-order deal for you. Reserve your copy of Fall of Cybertron before its approaching August 21st launch to unlock the G1 Retro Pack, which includes Optimus Prime in his original Generation 1 robot/vehicle forms for use in the solo campaign and during hectic multiplayer combat.

Also tossed into the retro-robot pot are the G1 Megatron Gun and Shockwave Cannon weapons for single player only. If you’re a PowerUp Rewards member, you’ll also get a Bumblebee Avatar for Xbox 360 or an XMB theme with the PS3 version.

Multiplayer has been thrown in as a bit of a bullet point afterthought in recent Transformers games (the past few I’ve played have either been very laggy or just plain forgettable after a handful of matches), but High Moon Studios aims to give gamers the satisfying, long-lasting robot-on-robot competition they’ve been craving in Fall of Cybertron.

Revealed via a media blast containing a new trailer and a hefty stack of screenshots, Fall of Cybertron multiplayer features custom Transformer creation, 10 maps, five match types, and co-op wave survival. If you’re a fan of giant metal dudes smashing each other, vehicular combat and explosions (lots of explosions!), you’re probably going to dig this.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is shipping August 21st for PS3 and Xbox 360 and for PC digital download.

Yesterday, Activision issued the official press release announcing the High Moon Studios Deadpool game revealed over the weekend at Comic-Con (I’ve pasted it below for reference). It was written from the perspective of Deadpool himself, filled with all sorts of silly rambling and split-personality banter. That press release was so crazy, the only logical thing to do next was put out an MP3 of Deadpool (voiced by Nolan North) reading aloud his press release for his own game. Genius!

Bang bang your way over to the Deadpool game site for a listen.

I ANNOUNCE ME…(wait, no. how about…) WE ANNOUNCE ME…(but they don’t know who ‘we’ are) (okay then, maybe…) DEADPOOL ANNOUNCES DEADPOOL!!! (well, that’s just silly)

I, DEADPOOL, Reveal That I’m Making My Own Butt-Kicking DEADPOOL Video Game, slated for 2013!!!

Santa Monica, CA – July 16, 2012 – Hey suits, listen up ’cause I’ve got some pretty sweet news to break. I, DEADPOOL, today announced that I’ve… (ahem…we’ve) …yes, right…WE’VE decided to make a kick-butt, butt-kicking new video game based on the awesome-ing-ist Super Hero ever known to man …(and woman, if you know what we’re sayin’) – starring yours truly, ME – DEADPOOL. I know, I know…I pee’d myself a little with excitement just now too (you call that ‘a little?’).

Some of you may know me as the Merc with a Mouth, (or the mercenary for hire) – what can I say; I have skills! (You know who else has skills?)High Moon Studios has skills, and I hired them to make my game, because they’re awesome, and so am I. But they’re not as awesome as I am, if that’s what you’ve heard. (Who’d you hear that from?) (Wait, listen…you smell something?)

Anywho, where was I? Oh yeah, ME, and my game DEADPOOL! With some cashola I ‘borrowed’ (ha!!! riiight…’borrowed’) from Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (blah blah) (Nasdaq: ATVI) (blah blah blah), and some of the big cheeses (mmmmm…cheeeeese) from Marvel Entertainment, my DEADPOOLgame will feature all of my favorite things – katanas (check), big guns (and not just these amazing arm muscles)(check), crazy poop-your-pants action (check), hot chicks (check), maybe some of my X-MEN friends (well, depending on what they’re wearing), burritos, bouncy houses and of course ME!!! (check)(check) And check!

And now, a quote from me about my game:

“I, DEADPOOL, ‘hired’ Peter Della Penna and his physically embarrassing team at High Moon Studios for two reasons. First, because of their close proximity to Mexico so I can get fresh, authentic chimichangas delivered daily,” said DEADPOOL, newly self-appointed Head of High Moon Studios, and Supreme Commander of PR, Marketing, Legal, and just about everything I want to be in charge of at Activision Publishing, Inc. “Second, if High Moon can make an amazing game about big transforming robots look cool, then they can surely make me look amazing in a third-person action video game, from all angles (seriously Peter…my bottom is my good side, so don’t screw this up).”

And now, a quote from that other guy at High Moon Studios:

“We weren’t actually planning on making a DEADPOOL game,” said Peter Della Penna, formerly Head of High Moon Studios and now second in command. “But, DEADPOOL came by the studio one day, said he was taking over, and that if I didn’t hire Marvel writer Daniel Way pronto and make the most amazing DEADPOOL video game, he’d break both of our arms and beat us to death with them. I have kids, so we’re making the game.”

Speaking of ME, for your viewing pleasure (or other pleasure – hehe)check out this awesome teaser trailer and find out more information for my new DEADPOOL video game at this web thingy www.deadpoolgame.com, and be sure to follow me on what’s-yer-face at www.facebook.com/deadpoolgame.
