EA releases Command & Conquer 4 debut trailer
The wait between Command & Conquer: Generals and its successor, Command & Conquer 3, was about 5 years. EA seems to be avoiding a repeat as they have just released the debut trailer for Command & Conquer 4.
RTS fans, don’t expect any actual gameplay footage as the trailer features exclusivly what looks to be just cinematics. However, if you’re following the plot of the franchise you’ll be intrigued to hear that Nod head-honcho Kane makes an appearance in said trailer.
EA has no set release date for Command & Conquer 4 but they hope to have it hit the market sometime in 2010. Will the game have what it takes to oust Blizzard’s forthcoming Starcraft II? We’ll have to wait and find out.

Iron Man 2 Comic-Con trailer
Sega’s new Iron Man game looks a lot better than its predecessor, and will hopefully play better, too. As announced yesterday, Iron Man 2: The Video Game will go beyond than just what was told in the movie, but will also expand on the story.
As shown on the trailer, the game will be hitting stores April 2010 for all “major consoles”. The movie itself will be released on May 7th, so it’ll give you enough time to soak up the Marvel fandom.
Expect more details come Comic-Con.

Second Beatles Rock Band trailer hits web
A second trailer for the upcoming The Beatles: Rock Band has hit the web. The trailer doesn’t give much except for music, which is the main reason anyone would want to buy the game. A good few tracks are demonstrated, along with members of the band in Rock Band art style.
I am impressed with how they recreated some of the music videos. But I think I would rather have the actual video playing in the background instead of some 3D models.
The Beatles: Rock Band is scheduled for an international release on September 9th for the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii systems.
King of Fighters XII “Legacy” trailer
SNK Playmore brings us a new trailer for their upcoming 2D fighting game King of Fighters XII. Despite European gamers getting a later release date than the rest of us, I’m sure people are still eagerly awaiting the arrival of the title.
2D fighting has never looked this crisp before; the frame rate is smooth and the gameplay looks very promising. How it will compare to more graphically sophisticated fighters of today? Only time will tell.
King of Fighters XII will be released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on July 28th in North America, and a August 28th launch in Europe.
Battlefield Heroes launch trailer
EA has revealed a new trailer for the game, this time with a catchy song and full on robot dances. The trailer gives brief, humorous descriptions about the classes in the game and dazzles you with a bunch of bright colors. Anyways, the trailer is pretty entertaining so check it out.
Already with one million players, Battlefield Heroes is looking to be a very popular free-to-play game. Be sure to check out our review on Battlefield Heroes in case FPS veterans are iffy on the cartoony presentation of the game.
NCAA Football 10 hits stores, new launch trailer
In a video game market diluted with a number of football games, it’s hard to decide which one is actually making an effort to make progressive changes for each yearly installment. That being said, EA Sports has released the launch trailer for NCAA Football 10, which hit store shelves today. The college football game features mainly gameplay improvement from the previous installment.
If you’re not sure whether yet another football game is worth the purchase, you can check out a demo for the game on Xbox Live or PSN. The teams are Florida Gators and the Oklahoma Sooners with 2 minute quarters.
NCAA Football 10 is now in stores for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable.
Shatter launch trailer
Shatter is a puzzle game to be released for the PlayStation Network. The game is all about box shattering and physics; pretty much a redone Breakout.
Besides the groovy music and Sidhe Interactive’s slogan, the trailer looks pretty mediocre. But I reserve judgment until I actually play the game, because puzzle games can be very fun and addictive regardless of how it looks.
Shatter currently has no release date.
Meet the villains in Batman: Arkham Asylum
What would a comic book hero be without a villain? Well, certainly not a hero. The wide range of villains featured in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum certainly doesn’t disappoint, leaving players for a number of bosses to look forward to fighting. The villains featured include The Joker, Poison Ivy, Bane, and many other less known characters.
Arkham Asylum will be out on shelves August 25th in North America and three days later for Europe for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

MechWarrior’s release is currently to be announced and will be released for the Xbox 360 and PC platforms.
ModNation Racers debut trailer
Kart racing never gets old; they’re always a fun pick-me-up that you can play with with your friends or with yourself. At this year’s E3, Sony showed off their entry into the genre with ModNation Racers, with their own little mix.
Developed by United Front Games, ModNation is mostly a user-generated content game, allowing players to create and share their own tracks and characters. The trailer shows off some of the ways you can customize your character and use the level designer to create unique maps for you to share with the world.
ModNation Racers will be out sometime next year on the PlayStation 3.
Battlefield 1943 launch trailer
Electronic Arts has supplied us with a nice trailer for their new first-person-shooter Battlefield 1943. The game launched yesterday for the Xbox 360 and today for the PS3 for a reasonable $15 or 1200 MS Points.
If you’re like me and like your FPS served with a keyboard and mouse, the PC version is expected to come out sometime in September.
Check out our review of the game in case you’re wondering if it’s worth your time.
E3: Bayonetta trailer
Sega has released the E3 trailer for their upcoming action game Bayonetta. The game is being directed by the creator of the Devil May Cry series, Hideki Kamiya, so fans of the genre might want to keep their eyes peeled for this one.
Bayonetta will be shapeshifting its way onto stores later this year for the PlaySation 3 and Xbox 360.
NIER E3 trailer, a Japanese Kratos?
Square-Enix has released a trailer for their new franchise, NIER. The game resembles God of War, but with an obvious J-RPG feel. Not much information is given about the title other than that it is to be released in 2010 for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
To be honest, I’d rather have more Final Fantasy 13 coverage than an entirely new project. Let’s hope for more details at E3.
New Dead Rising 2 trailer
Capcom has showcased a new trailer for the upcoming survival horror title Dead Rising 2. If you’re preparing for a bunch of new media for the game, don’t expect it at E3 due to the swine flu scare, so you better enjoy the video for what it’s worth.
Dead Rising 2 will be out for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC sometime next year.
