Awesome Fantasy

The 12 Days of Christmas meet the 9 Circles of Hell in this gut-wrenchingly goofy Christmas Carol trailer for Dante’s Inferno; it’s actually a teaser for the game’s Gates of Hell Demo.

Clash of the Titans gets truly titanic with this second trailer; running over two minutes, its last minute is packed to the hilt with new action sequences and one ginormous Kraken.

Call us mad as hatters, but we’re actually excited over this second trailer for Alice in Wonderland; faster paced and more fun than the first, it conjures up memories of the 1951 classic.

Watch all 1 hour and 11 minutes of Born of Hope above; the independent short film is inspired by (and a prequel to) the Lord of the Rings trilogy and tells the story of Aragorn’s Rangers.

We’d sell our souls for a US release date, but this Hall of Mirrors clip for Solomon Kane offers a bit of awesome (however horrific) redemption; watch the first two minute trailer here.

For the same cost as the regular version, Dante’s Inferno: Divine Edition is a PS3 exclusive due out 2/9/10; it includes a digital copy of the actual book, soundtrack, and art book.

Holy smoke and flame, horseman: Darksider’s four-legged Ruin gets its own trailer with glimpses at other mounts; still, there’s no topping the epic coda: “What follows War but Ruin…”

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 gets a truly magical debut trailer, with glimpses of Quidditch, Fluffy, the Sorting Hat, and even a little Wingardium Leviosa; it’s due out sometime in 2010.

It’s not the original Filmation version, but 2002’s He-Man won a Daytime Emmy during its 39 episode run; The Complete Series is a 4-disc set that includes a PDF version of episode 40.

Darksiders continues its Hellbook trailers with War’s Arsenal and Hordes of Hell; the first is a runnin’, gunnin’, and swordin’ lowdown, while the latter gets up close with the unholy masses.

This lushly detailed Races trailer for Guild Wars 2 is a who’s who of Tyria; you’ll meet the noble Humans, the belligerent Charr, the spiritual Norn, the brainy Asura, and the organic Sylvari.

Almost entirely wordless, Korean MMORPG Blade & Soul leaves nearly everything to the imagination with this beautiful (but largely un-narrated) North America Debut trailer.

Filled with dwarves, elves, and orcs, this Kingdom Under Fire II Races Trailer had us waxing nostalgic for LotR with the line between movie and gameplay blurred–not a bad thing.

The Horseman’s Road trailer for Darksiders gives us our first real look at the player’s powers and loot, and boy is it heavenly: burning armor, wings of shadow flight and abyssal chains.

We’re mostly looking forward to the updated retro gameplay, but this 3D Dot Game Heroes Launch trailer shows there is at least a plot; think stolen orbs, 2D evil, and 3D heroes.

This Developers Diary for Darksiders dishes the dirt on the coolest horseman, War, along with the story: it’s literally a conspiracy of biblical proportions between Heaven and Hell.

Say what you will about Hollywood action flicks, but this teaser for Clash of the Titans looks god-awesome: Kratos would do well to take some pointers from Perseus. Thanks, everyone!

Unleashing a holy can of whoop ass on blasphemers may sound fun, but this Heresy trailer for Dante’s Inferno shows that Dante must remain not only mindful but soulful of his actions.

This Mayhem trailer for Darksiders doesn’t reveal anything new, but we like its angsty, vengeance-be-mine style; the protagonist seems hell-bent on sending everyone to hell.

While we still like the US trailer, this UK trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has much more of a grand, epic feel a-la-Lord of the Rings, with narration by the princess herself.

We’re always wary of game-to-movies, but we like Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’s first trailer; there are wisps of PotC here, appropriate as it’s a Bruckheimer & Disney production.

Kratos goes armageddon on the gods in this Brutal Gameplay trailer for God of War III; the gory combat is sweet as usual, but the tunnel flight sequence at the end is truly epic.

Available at Amazon, GameStop, and GameKrazy, God of War III Ultimate Edition is a Kratos cash cow: it includes a Pandora’s Box replica, Art Book, soundtrack, and retailer-specific skins.
