Codemasters debuted the first teaser trailer for DiRT 3 during ESPN's X-Games this weekend.

DiRT 3 was officially announced back in March and we haven't heard much about it since then. Codemasters announced last week they would be debuting the first teaser trailer during ESPN's X-Games over the weekend and sure enough we got our first taste from the game. Unfortunately it is all CG but very beautiful all the same. The DiRT 3 teaser trailer gives us glimpses at what to expect from the game which will feature rain, snow, classic cars, as well as new locations. It will also feature a type of motorsport called gymkhana that you will get a glimpse of right at the end of the trailer when the driver slides under an exploding truck. I'm undecided if this is going to be a good addition to the franchise or not but it looks pretty cool in the teaser. We will just have to wait and see when they release some actual in-game footage.

DiRT 3 is going to be released sometime in 2011. No platforms have been announced yet but I'm sure we can expect it to hit all the major ones next year. Check out the first teaser trailer after the break.Read more...

Microsoft officially unveiled the Nintendo 3DS at E3 2010 and pretty much impressed people across the board.

The Nintendo 3DS was announced back in March just before it apparently was going to be leaked. Unfortunately at that point we only had a couple of specs to wonder about. Now Nintendo has officially unveiled the 3DS at E3 2010 to rave reviews. Besides the obvious 3D capabilities, the Nintendo 3DS will also feature backwards compatibility, new 360 degree analog thumb stick, a gyroscope, improved Wi-Fi, one inner camera, and two outer cameras. It was also feature a slider controller that will allow you to adjust the 3D for the best viewing.

Nintendo also came out with an impressive list of games that will be coming to the 3DS. Just a few of the bigger ones announced were Animal Crossing 3DS, Mario Kart 3DS, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D: The Naked Sample, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS, Paper Mario 3DS, Kingdom Hearts 3D, Pilotwings Resort, Resident Evil: Revelations, Star Fox 64 3D, and the one that will have the hardcore Nintendo fans talking Kid Icarus Uprising.

No release date has been given for the Nintendo 3DS except that it will be released before the end of March 2011. Check out the E3 2010 announcement trailer after the break.Read more...

The first official debut trailer has been released for Call of Duty: Black Ops and it looks like an awesome action packed ride.

The announcement of Call of Duty: Black Ops was kind of lost in all of the news between Activision and Infinity Ward. The newest installment in the Call of Duty franchise will be developed by Treyarch, the studio behind the pretty decent Call of Duty: World at War. A teaser trailer was released along with the announcement but we didn't get to see much. The new trailer gives us more insight into the game's story and packs a lot of action. The setting for the new game has been rumored for awhile with many people guessing Vietnam. It looks like the rumors were true but it is only one of the many places we will get to travel to as seen in the trailer. It's an awesome looking trailer and I'm excited to see more from the game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is going to be released on November 9th for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Nintendo Wii, and the DS. Check out the debut trailer after the break.Read more...

Ubisoft's upcoming Ghost Recon: Future Soldier receives a live action trailer that gives us a few details about the game.

Very little is known about the recently announced Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. The game was announced with a teaser trailer a couple of months ago and not much info has been released since. Ubisoft has now released a live action trailer that gives us some small details about the game. We know that we will be fighting Russia ultranationalists that have violently seized power. In addition to the cool looking cloaking device that was revealed in the debut teaser trailer, the new trailer shows off a drone that you can control and has a mean looking machine gun attached. The coolest thing shown in the trailer though is the awesome looking shoulder mounted rocket launcher. You can see the soldiers painting their target and unleashing a barrage of missiles on some tanks. Pretty cool trailer but I really hope we get to see some actual gameplay soon.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is going to be released later this year for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, DS, PSP, and the PC. Check out the live action trailer after the break.Read more...

Ubisoft is giving out more details on the upcoming Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands game in a new developer interview.

May is looking to be a huge month for the Prince of Persia franchise. Ubisoft will be releasing the Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands on May 18th for every major console and then following that up with the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time summer blockbuster at the end of the month. Ubisoft has given us more details on the game in a recent interview with the Level Design Director, Michael McIntyre.

In the developer interview we get to see new gameplay footage that shows off some of the Prince's new powers including his ability to solidify water. In the video we get to see him turn running water into pillars that he can then grab onto and jump onto the next one. This is only one of the many elemental powers that the Prince with be able to learn. The video also shows off the game's fighting system that has been improved and it will allow the Prince to fight 50 enemies at once. The new game looks like it will be a worthy addition to the franchise.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands will be released on May 18th for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Nintendo Wii, PSP, and the Nintendo DS.Read more...

Codemasters has announced that they are currently working on Colin McRae: DiRT 3, the follow up to one of last year's best racing games.

The announcement of DiRT 3 is basically a no-brainer. The last installments in the series have been huge hits for Codemasters and it is not surprising at all that they would be working on another one. Codemasters' Vice-President announced the newest game in the latest issue of Edge Online that will be released next week. He goes on to state that the culture they've built at their Birmingham studio is to encourage innovation and that we can expect to see a lot of great stuff in the new game. Other than knowing that the game is under development, nothing else is known about the latest addition to the franchise.

No release date or platforms have been announced yet for Colin McRae: DiRT 3 but I'm sure we can expect to see it on all major platforms like previous games.
