Having announced the game already, publisher Activision has released the first footage from Wolfenstein, the current-gen entry in the long-running Nazi-slaying shooter series. The title goes back to World War 2 once again, having you battle Nazi’s using sci-fi weapons and supernatural powers.

In development at Raven Software alongside Singularity, the game is due out sometime next year for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

At Sony’s E3 conference, the company launched a video download service for the PS3 and PSP, letting consumers download or rent movies and television shows through the PlayStation Network.

There are currently 300 full length movies and more than 1200 TV episodes, with resolutions starting from SD to full-fledged HD. Initial content offerings are from 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate, MGM, Paramount, Sony Pictures and Warner Bros, as well as Walt Disney Studios.

The service will allow users to download movies and transfer them to the PSP for on-the-road viewing. The service has already launched, but is exclusive to North America, with an international rollout expected later in the year.

The very first in-game trailer for Prince of Persia was released today by publisher Ubisoft. The two minute video shows a glimpse of the series’ new illustrative art style and duel-focused combat system.

The game is in development for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 at Ubisoft Montreal. It is set for release this Holiday season.

In the first of many E3 posts, the Project Origin website now hosts the E3 2008 trailer for the upcoming F.E.A.R. sequel, warning us to “Fear Alma again.”

The trailer features all-new footage, showing off the latest weapons, enemies and locations - the game takes place in a near-future cityscape.

One thing I like the trailer is Alma’s imagery - a creepy, red-dressed on a swing in moonlight is downright scary.

The game is due out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

After many, many, delays, three console changes, and an entire game engine change, Silicon Knight’s Too Human still looks promising if this trailer is any indication. Naturally, the trailer is not as good an indicator as good as the demo will be. That said, the trailer is still put together well enough, even if the dialog sounds a bit on the generic side.

The first teaser trailer for the upcoming Max Payne movie was released today. Starring Mark Wahlberg as the title character, the movie is being directed by John Moore from a script penned by Beau Thorne; it is set to open October 17.

While the teaser shows a very dark film, it is only rated PG-13, while the game series was rated M by the ESRB.

Apparently Uwe Boll isn’t quite finished with his destructive rain of terrible videogame movie adaptations. He instead has his eyes set on something a little more recent, and a little more high profile.

Uwe Boll is looking directly at a movie adaptation of the GTA series, which as far as video games go is a likely candidate. However, despite his desire, he himself acknowledges he won’t likely be gaining the green like for the project.

“They will go, in the end, with a Michael Bay or a Brett Ratner, and it will be a PG-13 movie made for $150 million,” he said. “I think it would be better to make a $30 million, very hard, brutal movie without compromising, but I’m not optimistic.”

Well Uwe Boll, I’d like to point something out. Considering Rockstar sunk 100 million on making a quality game, I think I’d know which side of the budget fence they’d fall on as well.

For now, make sure to sign the stop Uwe Boll petition, our lives clearly depend on it!

As promised earlier, Microsoft and Epic Games have released the first in-game footage from Gears of War 2. The video features an introduction by series creator Cliff Bleszinski, who delivers details on the game’s storyline and some of the gameplay mechanics. The video showcases huge environments, large numbers of enemies on-screen, chainsaw duels, and new and improved visuals.

Gears of War 2, similar to its predecessor, is exclusive to Xbox 360 and will be released this November.

It seems the ongoing conflict with a million signatures to stop Uwe Boll is only just starting to heat up. Now with corporate sponsorship and nearly a quarter of a million signatures, a simple joke has already evolved into a serious marketing ploy.

Stride Gum has joined the fray, promising if the online petition does indeed hit the one million mark, they will be giving away one million packs of stride gum to everyone who signed the petition.

However there is a slight catch, Stride has placed a very limited time period, leaving us until just May 14th to sign the petition while their deal lasts. Its hard to say whether they actually except the petition, which has been ongoing for several weeks to suddenly boost all the way to the end. Certainly it would be funny if they weren’t fiscally planning on distributing so many free packs.

If nothing else, visit StopUweBoll.org and sign up. If not to stop Uwe Boll, then for the chance at a free pack of hum.

If you are at all still interested in movie game crossovers, especially one that carries the title of Street Fight: The Legend of Chun Li, I’d highly suggest bookmarking the Capcom blog.

Tonight’s update reveals some new exclusive casting information about a new character Det. Maya Sunee played by Moon Bloodgood.

“The character probably won’t sound familiar to you die-hard SF fans out there. And it shouldn’t. Maya’s new to the Street Fighter universe. She’s Bangkok Gangland Homicide. A no-nonsense, fast-talking, half-Thai cop who rocks a Ducati and a set of gold cuffs.”

The website also features some storyboard work, (seen above) of a fight seen with Vega and Chun Li, definitely worth checking out. As a bonus they are opening it up to some reader questions for the next blog post.

The very first gameplay footage from Mirror’s Edge has been unveiled at SCEE’s event in London, and can now be viewed below. In development at EA DICE, this upcoming action-adventure title will focus on revolutionizing the way movement is seen in videogames.

Mirror’s Edge is being developed for the PS3 and Xbox 360, telling the story of Faith, a runner who is thrown into a government conspiracy.

A short trailer for a new title in the Rayman Raving Rabbids series has been released, revealing that the game will make use of the Wii Balance Board peripheral. This is the third title in the mini-game focused series, with the original coming out alongside the Wii in 2006 and a sequel last year.

As funny as the rabbids can get, no details were provided. Nope, no release dates either.

The Wii Balance Board peripheral is included with Wii Fit, which is now available in Europe and Japan, with North America getting it later this month for $90.

Konami has kindly released the final trailer for Metal Gear Solid 4. Be warned though, as it includes major spoilers. In addition to that, it is in Japanese, and includes zero subtitles. Snake will slithering on to the PS3 on June 12th.

Following up on last week’s announcement that the BBC iPlayer service is available to Wii users, a group of hackers have brought the video service to the PS3, creating an unofficial portal where users from the console can access television content.

The hacked site tricks the BBC’s servers into thinking that the PS3 console is actually a Wii, serving videos directly through the web browser.

“It’s mainly a demonstration of how easily the BBC could support the PS3 with their Wii version,” points out a post on the unofficial PS3 iPlayer portal. “This does nothing more than mask your PS3’s user-agent string and makes half a dozen changes to make the JavaScript and CSS function correctly on the PS3.”

According to the post, the hack took only a day to produce. BBC recently criticized Sony and Microsoft for having too tight control over their browsers, noting that “they [the companies] want it done within their shop, and their shop only.”

Having launched the iPlayer on the Wii, BBC touched the issue of releasing said player on the PS3 and Xbox 360, criticizing Sony and Microsoft for having too tight control over their platform’s offerings.

“If you want to get on the PlayStation or Xbox, they want control of the look, the feel and the experience; they want it done within their shop, and their shop only,” said BBC Technology Group Controller Erik Huggers to the BBC dot.life blog.

The iPlayer currently uses the Wii’s Internet channel to deliver streaming videos of BBC shows such as Top Gear and Doctor Who. The company and Nintendo are said to be working on releasing a specialized application to deliver BBC video content. The web-based version of the iPlayer doesn’t work on the Xbox 360 and PS3 as the former doesn’t have a web browser and the latter’s browser does not support Flash technology used to deliver BBC video content.

Telltale Games have gone ahead and launched a website for their upcoming Strong Bad episodic content via Wiiware we mentioned earlier today. As promised the site features more details about the game as well as a trailer, so it is certainly worth checking out. What I am simply amazed about is that Wiiware hasn’t even released yet, and its episodic content is already blowing the competition out of the water. It seems strange that apart from Penny Arcade Adventures, nothing else has really appeared on the PS3 or 360 horizon.

The first episode release this June, but for now I’ll leave you with an exert from the website, showcasing the strange hilarity that is sure to ensue.

“Charming. Suave. Muscular. Awesome. These are just a few of the words that Strong Bad would use to describe himself. In a world gone mad, only one man can be trusted to save the day… for himself. A man with a mask. And boxing gloves. And an attitude. A man called Strong Bad.”

You know what we haven’t had in a while? A Halo 3 ViDoc. Unlike previous ViDocs, this one, titled “Mapmaker, Make Me A Map” is done in the style of Machinima. As you might have guessed, the theme for this video documentary is to show off the new maps, and forge options for them.

Wii owners in the United Kingdom are in luck, as BBC today announced that its iPlayer internet television service is being expanded to cover the console. The iPlayer program can now be accessed via the Wii Internet Channel, allowing UK users to watch free episodes of various BBC productions such as Top Gear and Doctor Who. BBC hopes to release a future version as a standalone application.

The service is currently in beta, though, with its website stating: “Over the coming weeks we’ll tweak the video encoding rates and playback window size to get the best possible video quality.”

It’d be pretty cool if they expanded the service to cover other regions.

So far the vast majority of Spore creatures we’ve seen look like something out of a Dr.Sues book. A new video has made it’s way to the internet. The creature being shown proves that the user will not be limited to small simple creatures. Before watching the video you should turn your volume down.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has been used as an example of the power of the next gen console because of it’s three physics engines which run smoothly and simultaneously. Rather than have a misconception that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is only a next gen title, LucasArts has released a video demonstrating the Wii, PS2, PSP, and DS versions of the game as well as the unique features and content exclusive to each one.

This year’s April Fools’ Day was quite an interesting one, seeing as how Blizzard unleashed a trio of well done gags, Microsoft unveiled the wooden Xbox 360, and other publishers pulled off similar gags. But none reach the epic awesomeness of seeing Assassin’s Creed and Metal Gear Solid 4 mashed together to form a game.

Yes, Ubisoft and Konami collaborated to create a gag video showcasing the crossover of the abovementioned titles. In fact, the video was created none other than Hideo Kojima himself. Without further ado, here’s the video:

The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop on some new original content coming to Xbox Live this summer. The six shows come direct from Peter Safran, which will fall into horror, comedy and sci-fi genres. No word on exactly what we can expect out of the six shows, which will have naturally a window of exclusivity to the 360, but they come from the mind of Safron who was involved in such projects as Scary Movie, Meet the Spartans and ran some digital promotion for 28 weeks later and the Hills have eyes. Its certainly an interesting idea, but given the limited userbase behind the console compared to other formats of delivery, I wouldn’t expect top tier productions.

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=32309" width="480" height="392"/] Good things come in fours, right? Grand Theft Auto IV trailers are no exception. Rockstar has released the fourth and final GTA IV trailer, which is titled “Everyone’s a Rat”. If you’d like to do some catching up, the previous trailers, in chronological order are: “Things Will Be Different”, “Looking For That Special Someone”, and “Move Up Ladies”.

Microsoft has seen some success in the On-Demand market, with sales up 70% since September of last year, with their addition of HD movies to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Continuing on this success Microsoft has announced the new movies that will be hitting the Marketplace this month. For a snippet of the movies soon to come check below but for a full listing hit up Xbox’s official page at http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/marketplace/moviestv/default.htm.

Sega was none too happy when their key 2008 title Sonic unleashed was leaked, and they were forced to confirm the project in development a little sooner than initially planned. None the less, we have been promised a Sonic title that will be returning to the roots (like we haven’t heard that one before). But, with this recently released game play footage, it looks, at least some sections will be in 2D. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails are all confirmed playable characters, so time will tell if this will be a worthwhile purchase.

No word on which system the game is set for, but the footage above seems only possible with either the PS3 or 360, so that’s where my bet would lay at least.
