Bungie has released a ton of new gameplay footage from Halo: Reach in a ViDoc that was shown at the recent Microsoft X10 event.

We finally get a good helping of Halo: Reach gameplay footage and it is looking really good. The new Halo: Reach ViDoc is really cool in that we get to hear Bungie talk about everything that they want to put into the game and everything they had to do to reach that goal. Bungie shows off every aspect of the game including building the new models, creating the new environments, the musicians working on the game's score, and the biggest part of the video, Halo: Reach's story. It is really cool to hear how many improvements they have made to the game engine and how that will manifest itself on the screen.

The major focus that Bungie wants to highlight is the game's storyline and how they can best convey that to the player. This touches every aspect the game from the character's facial expressions to how they change the look and feel of the Covenant. Any fan of the video game development process should watch this video because it's very interesting to see how the game's they love are created.

No official release date for Halo: Reach had been announced other than this Fall, but we do know it will obviously be exclusive to the Xbox 360. Microsoft announced that the multiplayer beta that was released with Halo 3: ODST will be available on May 3rd.Read more...

Our long awaited return to Rapture is almost here and I couldn't be more excited. At least that is what I thought before I saw the awesome BioShock 2 launch trailer 2K Games debuted on Jimmy Fallon's late night show last night.

The new BioShock 2 trailer is too cool. We get to see the Big Daddy whooping ass on some Splicers that are bugging your Little Sister. We also get a good luck at the new Brute Splicer that is able to pick up objects, like huge chunks of concrete, and toss them at us ala the Tank from Left 4 Dead. They look to be one of the bigger challenges in the new game. Another big challenge in BioShock 2 is the new Big Sister that makes an impressive entrance in the new trailer. If you weren't excited about the sequel before now, try to hide it after you watch this.

BioShock 2 is going to be released next week on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC on February 9th. Check out the launch trailer after the jump.Read more...

A leaked video that is rumored to be someone playing Half-Life 2 with Microsoft's Project Natal has hit the Internet and it looks pretty cool.

We are taking this leaked video as complete rumor at this point until we hear differently but I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited about it. I'm sure most people were kind of excited when they first saw the Project Natal footage at this year's E3, but like us, they wanted to see how it would work with "real" games. Now with this possible leaked footage of someone playing Half-Life 2 we might have just gotten a taste of the possible gameplay options this might open up.

The leaked Half-Life 2 video is pretty blurry but you can clearly tell the guy is controlling the on-screen action with his arm movements. It does look a little like he is trying to conduct an orchestra but it seems to be moving pretty smoothly. It looks like it might be a little tough to control but we will just have to wait and see. I doubt this footage will ever be confirmed as real so hopefully Microsoft will release some new official footage soon. Check out the leaked HL2 footage after the break.Read more...

EA Los Angeles has released a first look trailer at the newly announced Medal of Honor game that is the next installment in the long running franchise.

The new Medal of Honor game was announced earlier this month by EA and is being touted as a modern day reboot of the series. A first look trailer was shown at the recent Video Game Awards and gave us a quick look at the new game. My first thought when I saw the new trailer was that it looked a lot like Modern Warfare 2. I definitely didn't think this was a bad thing considering how well Modern Warfare 2 is selling. For anybody that doesn't remember, the Medal of Honor franchise was the game to beat until Infinity Ward came along and took over the top spot. Now the Medal of Honor series has a chance to pay back the favor when it is released next year. From the looks of the new looking trailer, they certainly look like they are bringing their A game and competition is always a good thing. The trailer looks awesome and I'm excited to see more footage from this game in the next couple of months.

The new Medal of Honor game will be released in Fall 2010 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC. Check out the first look trailer after the jump.Read more...

EA officially announced today that they are in fact developing Dead Space 2, the sequel to their surprise hit that was in contention for many people's Game of the Year awards last year.

There were a lot of people that enjoyed playing the original Dead Space, me included. I was glad when I started hearing the rumors that Visceral Games was working on a sequel. Well, today EA officially announced it amid rumors that all but guaranteed it. EA's Senior VP and Group General Manager Nick Earl said that Visceral Games is working on the project and that "Dead Space 2 is on target to deliver a jaw-dropping experience gamers won't soon forget." If it is anything like the original, I'm sure it will be just as great. Isaac Clarke is back again and the infection has continued to spread across the space. EA also promises that it will offer a "huge cast of twisted, disgusting monsters that are sure to scare the daylights out of you". Not much info other than these few teasers has been given so far. Check back for more information when we hear it.

No release date or window was given for Dead Space 2, but we do know it is being developed for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the PC.

EA has announced a new game in the long running Medal of Honor franchise and this time it will be a modern day reboot.

Well it looks like EA is dusting off the Medal of Honor franchise and giving it the popular "reboot" treatment that most other games are getting lately. Medal of Honor was the top of the heap before the Call of Duty franchise surpassed them and never looked back. Now EA is hoping to bring it back to its former glory.

The new Medal of Honor game will leave its WWII roots and bring us to into modern day Afghanistan. You will take the role of a Tier 1 Operator in this new game. According to EA a Tier 1 Operator is "a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle". The EA Los Angeles team will be working on the single player side of the game and DICE will be handling the multiplayer side. Both teams are hoping to create the "most authentic modern war experience".

The new Medal of Honor game will be released Fall 2010 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC. A world premiere video will be shown at Spike's Video Game Awards. Check out a short teaser trailer after the break.Read more...

Activision has revealed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 sold 4.7 million copies in the US and UK in one day shattering all previous records.

Everybody knew the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was going to be huge, but I don't think anybody expected the numbers it was able to pull in. Activision released a press release that states the game sold 4.7 million copies in the US and UK alone in one day. This shatters the previous record holder GTA 4. Analyst Ben Schachter is predicting that when all is said and done, Modern Warfare 2 will have pulled in over 7 million copies worldwide on the first day. These are incredible numbers and no one has ever come close to reaching this level in any entertainment medium.

Modern Warfare 2's record breaking release also helped Microsoft reach a milestone. Major Nelson announced on his Twitter feed that Xbox LIVE had broken a record on most simultaneous users. He tweeted that they had 2 million users were logged into Xbox LIVE at one time. I don't think anybody doubts that the MW2's release had everything to do with this.
