I was going to mock the new Dragon’s Prophet trailer for featuring people sitting on what appeared to be Bucking Dragoncos. But then I realised how much more brilliant mechanical dragons would be than stupid boring mechanical bulls, and herald Runewater Entertainment as GENIUSES.
As we all know full well and is entirely obvious, BioShock: Elizabeth is a straightforward damsel in distress with a pretty face and a nice dress, and there’s nothing more to her than that. There definitely isn’t anything surprising or sinister about her: she will be rescued by the big man with the big gun, the mean nasty boss will fall to his doom and everyone will live happily ever after.
Codemasters has released the first full gameplay trailer from its latest driving sim, Grid 2. The footage includes some luscious shots of Barcelona, Paris and California, as well as lingering glances of some of the many gorgeous cars represented in the globe-trotting racer.
Capcom’s going back in time 8-bit style with Capcom Arcade Cabinet, coming soon to Xbox 360 and PS3. The Arcade Cabinet goes back in time to celebrate 30 years of gaming and returns with classic arcade titles set to hit PSN and XBLA starting mid February.
Ripping your toys in half: It’s not just for miscreants anymore! Activision reveals the latest instalment in its blockbusting game series, featuring a brand new selection of interchangeable action figures.

Real World Racing, for that is its name, is a Micro-Machines (or perhaps Supercars / Super Sprint) styled racing game, where the tracks are generated from real-world satellite imagery. Why hasn’t this been done before?
Milestone has pulled the sheet off another racing game in their long line of WRC racing games. But this time, WRC Powerslide looks to bring the fun of Motorstorm RC and the beauty of the WRC games together for a 4-player “frenetic” PSN release for PS3 and the Xbox.
News collectors VG247 have a bunch of Crysis 3 footage, which I have cheerfully reblogged below. Producer-man Michael Read has a bit to say about it, too, explaining what makes that section – Swamp – unique. Well, it’s swampy green and might murky, for a start. But also you get to kill men!
Dead Space 3 is assaulting us with news we don’t want to hear of late. Out in just over a week, we’ve recently learned that it’s going to offer microtransactions for in-game items, and that the PC build is to be a dead-straight port with no frills.
