We know World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria has kung-fun pandas in it. I’ve seen it on adverts on the telly and everything. What else does it have in it? Well, if you’ve got seven minutes you can find out, with the below flyover trailer that runs through some of the new zones, enemies, abilities and dungeons to be found in WoW’s fourth expansion.

Guild What The F#ck?
Guild Wars two has just won the award for the most retarded game advert ever. It’s a coveted prize and was given out by me in that last sentence. Congratulations guys. The game looks fun but the advert is pants-on-head retarded.
Free Crawling: The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot
We’ve currently smuggled Adam out of the country to investigate all things new, French and Ubisoft, but to scoop him ourselves, they’ve just announced The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot. It is, and this is one to get your head around, a free-to-play asynchronous dungeon crawler/tower defence. And it has a brilliant name. There’s an announcement trailer below. It is very silly.
A Postcard Soaked In Kerosene: Far Cry 3′s Side-Quests
OK, so I’m starting to warm up to this “Agent Huntley” narrator guy Ubisoft’s got talking us through the most recent Far Cry 3 videos. He’s basically a more tropical Max Payne – which, given recent events in Max Payne’s life, means he’s basically just Max Payne.

DL Sea: Mass Effect’s ‘Leviathan’ Mission Dives Deep
Really, if you think about it, the ocean is basically space, but more blue. I mean, both are sorely lacking in breathable air, give us the ability to defy basic physics while shouting “wheeeeee,” and are absolutely, positively, I-really-really-hope teeming with life. (What if fish aren’t real?! Wouldn’t that be a total bummer?)
Lego The Lord of the Rings Trailer
‘One brick to rule them all!’……The LEGO videogames have been bringing two-person co-op fun to franchises such as Star Wars, Batman, and Harry Potter. The Lord of the Rings will be the next entry in this successful series when it appears later this year.
Borderlands 2 – Come And Get Me
Gearbox have released another trailer for the forthcoming Borderlands 2. It might not have the best graphics on the planet but if you’ve played the first one you’ll know just how addictive collecting and upgrading your arsenal can be…
Express Yourself: Everquest II Adds SOEmote Tech
The continued support and updating for EverQuest II never fails to surprise me. The MMO is now eight years old, but still played and receiving regular updates and content, and now some tech that I’ve not seen used elsewhere. They’re awkwardly calling it SOEmote, a thing where a webcam pointed at your face will translate your expressions onto your in-game character. You can see it in action below.
Escape From Mount Stupid – Season Three Teaser
