New Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise trailer

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Lets face it, there are allot of insecure men out there who want nothing to do with Viva Pinata. Yeah, that’s right. I said it, “insecure”. Games like Viva Pinata are a natural repellent for those who claim to be manly, but it’s about time we change that. Some have played the first game and most haven’t. Manliness aside, your second chance is coming up.

*This has been a PSA from the Viva Pinata Anonymous Club. 🙂

Prince of Persia

Vodpod videos no longer available.

All four of these titles are coming to the Xbox 360 and what better time than now to ask? Do you care for any of these games. Tom Clancy is being represented as usual, Brothers in Arms is finally coming, and the Prince is back. Are you excited?

*The videos are courtesy of Gamersyde. The other three can be found after the break. Far Cry 2 is here.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 official

Vodpod videos no longer available.

If wasn’t official before, but now it is. Beyond Good and Evil will indeed be getting a sequel. As seen in the above teaser trailer from Ubidays 2008, Jade is back with a large helping of bacon, I mean, pig. Oops!

Video: Infinite Undiscovery Trailer

Vodpod videos no longer available.

If you’re an RPG fan waiting for the day Square Enix announces Final Fantasy 13 for the Xbox 360 (don’t count on it), your next best bet is Infinite Undiscovery. Jokes about the none descriptiveness of that title aside, it is a game on the Xbox 360 from Square Enix that’s not Final Fantasy XI.

Video: Dead Space Trailer

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Horror is a unique thing. It isn’t fun. It isn’t something any of us ask for, but darn it, it’s so fraking awesome when it does what it’s supposed to. Then again, when it comes to the horror videgame space, its not something that’s tried all to often and that’s where Dead Space comes in. It’s not exactly a flat out horror game, but mixing futuristic mining, space, monsters of some sort, and a dead space ship make it all the horror most need.

Video: Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Fans of the Command and Conquer series and more specifically the Red Alert variety have one mighty thing to look forward to. Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 is on its way. Xbox 360 owners are welcome to join the party this time as well. RTS on a console is going to be tested once again. Luckily, if you don’t buy the RTS on a console jive, we can all at least agree that it’s really pretty.

Video: Too Human Two Player gameplay

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Too Human has finally been dated for August 19th in North America and what better time to see a little Two Player action as well. Fans of Diablo might end up all hot and bothered by this, so watch with caution. The “forever” wait is almost over.

Gears of War 2 gameplay debut

When it comes to Gears of War, it’s no question that it’s helped define what the Xbox 360 has been over the course of it’s reality short life so far. It’s still one of the graphical showcases that any gamer can be happy to show to the non-believers when it comes to the relevance of the so-called “next-gen”. The original game has had its time to rule the Xbox 360 mind share, but unfortunately that time has passed for many (even though it’s consistently in the top 10 Xbox Live games). It’s personally been saluted by me as it had officially overstayed its welcome the day Halo 3 released, but for Epic the time has come to take its thrown back.

Now, Gears of War is still my most played game according to my 360voice blog (great site, setup an account). Sadly, I never got the “Seriously” achievement and how that is possible is beyond me. Over five hundred or so hours should have gotten me something, right, but lets chalk that one up to a monumental conspiracy of the highest order. A low(ish) gamerscore is solely to blame for this. Luckily, the next installment’s freight train has just left the money printing station and is barreling directly for everyone’s stash of monopoly money (well, it might as well be).

After seeing the above, the inclusion (non PC) of the Brumak alone is enough to have some (Dustin Burg) wet their pants. Chainsaw duels, locust shields, those damn reavers (hey, isn’t that supposed to be Firefly), and new weapons are sure to excite hordes of gamers later this year. More badass? Yes, it is.

*It’s a high recommendation to download the video on the Xbox Live Marketplace, as you’ll get see it on your TV and that’s always a plus.
