A new multiplayer trailer for Mondern Warfare 3 has emerged and fans will be glad to know that Infinity Ward are staying very true to their tried and tested formula. So much so that you could be forgiven for thinking that you were actually watching a Black Ops video. Or a Modern Warfare 2 video. Or a Modern Warfare 1 video!
No word yet on the inevitable map packs but we’ll keep you posted.
Relic’s manly man-killing simulator – Space Marine – is but a week away from unleashing it’s own brand of intense violence, blood and gore upon the world, and THQ have sent us another video to herald it’s arrival. Here we get to see the “Thunder Hammer” turning orcs into clouds of red mist. Delightful.
Did you try the demo yet? If you liked it, head here to see a carousel of all the different retailers THQ has given exclusive content to, so you can pick which “bonus content” you want to miss out on.
Proper opinion on this coming once it’s been formed (in the Criticism Forges of Mars).

Traditionally, I enjoy my breakfast while listening to Ravel and watching the labouring classes hurrying back and forth in the street below. That all changed today. I nearly choked on my toasted muffin as my brain attempted to process the contents of The Binding of Isaac trailer. I had assumed Edmund McMillen’s latest would be an inspiring and moving parable relating to the limits of blind faith and infanticide. Turns out I was wrong. It’s actually about a terrifying Man-Baby refugee from an Aphex Twin video going bonkers in a dark room. I should have known. John talked about the game here and there’s no fresh information to digest along with the trailer. But if you can digest the contents of the trailer itself, you have a steelier stomach than I. All this madness can be yours sometime in September through Steam.
Um… wow. Now, I’m hardly an expert on Aliens videogames, but does anyone else think Colonial Marines looks extremely badass? Sure, plenty of games are set in dark sci-fi locales, and plenty of games have monsters pop out at you… but there’s something about seeing the aliens crawling just out of site, like cockroaches, that’s extremely unnerving… especially when they can kill your teammates in the blink of an eye. I don’t find many horror videogames that scary, but this… this looks genuinely a bit unnerving. Although it could probably use a little more Lance, if you ask me. Thanks to David V. for the tip!
Like MI6, like MI6; aside from the single player campaign and online multiplayer, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Goldeneye 007: Reloaded will feature standalone missions that will task players with assault, elimination, stealth and defense objectives — like MI6.
Out of nowhere, there’s rumours flying around tonight that Valve is on the cusp of revealing a new game.
It’s not Episode 3, but for many, it will be the next best thing: a new Counter-Strike game.
Most of the chit-chat so far is based around testers (and eSports commentators) having very recently got some hands-on time with the rumoured project at Valve HQ. Some of them even pausing to take happy snaps of the trip.

How about this, then, man-shooting fans? Over two Imperial minutes (count ‘em!) of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3?s Spec Ops survival mode can be found below, via BluesNews. What is it? Well, I dunno. Let’s say it’s some kind of escalating fight mode, with its own perks and stuff, featuring lots of different opponents: exploding dogs, men, men, men, big armoured men.
Big. Armoured. Men. So big. So armoured. So shootable. Mmm.
Andromium is a unique split-screen co-op adventure where you must deliver a deadly material, Andromium, through the dangerous depths of space. With innovative and chaotic game design, multiple modes (including two-player) and a procedural generation system that builds all levels on the fly, the replay value of this game is incredible.
This sequel to 2006′s sci-fi first-person shooter takes the series in a new direction that’s out of this world. Reprise your role as Tommy and embark on another dark adventure to save the fate of the planet.
Gather enough electricity to blow the fuses in this extremely hard to navigate dark zone of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet.
If there’s one thing Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet proves, it’s that even the brightest stars can be corrupted. This 2D adventure casts you as an intrepid alien sent to weed out a sickness that has infected an ailing heavenly body and, subsequently, save all life in the galaxy.
Otherworldly environments engender strong feelings of loneliness, and a modicum of instructions reinforces the idea that you’re all alone. There are few clear directions as you attempt to navigate this hostile world, and that lack of hand-holding is one of Shadow Planet’s biggest strengths.
Figuring out how to use your various tools to overcome obstacles provides the most satisfying hook to pull you along, and it is well worth putting up with the requisite trial-and-error activities to get past the most daunting puzzles. Unfortunately, that rush is often stymied by poor visual feedback and touchy controls. Because of these problems, Shadow Planet offers an uneven adventure that alternates between amazement and frustration, though there are more than enough exciting moments to make it a trip worth taking.
