Awesome Games

Without seeing any gameplay, we were already excited for the next Bioshock game. Now that we get to see it in action, we’re enraptured (but not in Rapture.) Katamari pots-and-pans kill FTW!

Square Enix was kind enough to point us to the English version of the TGS Trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Watch it again to leran more about the plot, as told by gruff and manly voices.

Studio Ghibli and Level 5 might have a masterpiece here. Never in our wildest dreams did we think we’d someday have what amounts to an interactive Ghibli film. International release please!

The trailer’s in Japanese, but it does show more of the game’s world as well as a new character – miss Rihanna look-alike here. Also, we’re just plain crazy for this games’ slick CG videos.

When we first hit ‘Play’ on this video, we thought it was one of those awful commercials for Mucinex. But 40 seconds in, we realized we were in for a real treat, and some awesome animation.

Created by Yukio Futatsugi, the guy behind the classic SEGA Panzer Dragoon, this game also features flying dragons, but it plays with the Xbox 360 Kinect. It also does not remind us of Avatar.

The Ubisoft crew still do their ridiculous hoodie gimmick, but they also share a lot of juicy details about Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, like the ability to summon your customized assassins.

The sequel to one of the best horror games ever has a multiplayer mode. Play with or against your friends, either as engineers or the ghastly necromorphs. Left4Dead in space anyone?

This new bundle packs almost all of the latest tech Microsoft has to offer – the Xbox 360 Slim console, a 250GB HD, and, of course the much-hyped Kinect. No HDMI cable, though. Cheapskates.

Ever wanted to drive a Ferrari F10 race car? Take on the world in this virtual Ferrari simulator, and if you manage to come out on top of the competition, you could go to Italy to drive a real one.

(NSFW) If you play TF2, and run into a guy named ChoZo, you might hear just a little bit of swearing. If Tony Soprano and Tony Montana had a child, they’d name him ChoZo. (Thanks, Everyone!)

Sackboy channels Tarzan in the latest trailer for LittleBigPlanet 2, which shows off the neat things that you can do with the new grappling hook tool. Sackboy Batman and Bionic Commando anyone?

How about a little game of Pac-Man? Guillame Reymond latest stop-motion clip features 111 human pixels acting out the classic arcade game. The 2-minute short took about 4 hours to shoot.

NetherRealm Studios seems to be doing a killer job at making the latest Mortal Kombat. This preview shows a bit of tag team action – a first for the series – and of course, a fatality at the end.

Valve shed more light on the multiplayer aspect of Portal 2 at PAX. The Robotic Test Subjects that players control have a few tricks up their sleeves, like the “Ping” marker. Also:robot hugs!
