Heroes of Newerth debut trailer
I told myself I wouldn’t play this game because I would get addicted, but it looks too good to pass up. Anyways, it’s Defense of the Ancients except a whole lot better from what I’ve heard. Right now, the game is in a beta phase, but a few lucky people have been able to get their hands on a key through a Facebook promotion.
The game is currently being developed by S2 Games, the people behind Savage. No word on a release date, but pre-sale for the game has already started for beta members.

First Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer footage revealed
Infinity Ward has released the first multiplayer footage of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, introducing the AC130 killstreak reward. The game looks absolutely stunning, and miles ahead of the first Modern Warfare title.
I was worried that the single player modes would be heavily concentrated on in the sequel, potentially sacrificing on the improvements to the multiplayer aspect of the game. The first game’s single player campaign was very short, which is in contrast with the multiplayer’s long lifespan which lives on to this very day.
Modern Warfare 2 will be released worldwide on November 10th for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

A nice little interview with developers Chris Millar and Craig Leigh from Titan Studios can be viewed after the jump.
Fat Princess will retail for $14.99.

Halo Legends shown off via video
Yesterday Microsoft let us know that there would be an anime miniseries inspiried by their flagship franchise, Halo entitled Halo Legends.
Today, the internets are a buzz over the miniseries’ debut trailer, included above. As you can see, there are segments produced by all 5 Japanese studios that are signed onto the project.
But wait, during Casio Entertainment’s segment there are the beginnings of a CG swordfight. I don’t remember Master Chief moving so nimbly in the video games. Oh well, let’s hope Halo Legends does the franchise justice and isn’t just an attempt by Microsoft to milk the franchise.
