The commercial for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09

Tiger 09 is out next week and here's the commercial answering the question from last year's game whether or not the "Jesus Shot" can be done in real life. Looks like Tiger says yes in this clip.

Clips of Lepzig (Part I)

Over at Europe, the Lepzig Games Convention is happening now and there's some new footage for the upcoming releases.



Since I'm still on a Bionic Commando mood (Rearmed is still amazing!!), here's the newest trailer for the 3D game now with old-school Capcom intro music (also in Street Fighter IV too), the orchestral BC theme, and new gameplay of single-player and multiplayer. Thanks to Rearmed, this game has crept to my top 10 Most Wanted list and I think it will be awesome.



The highly anticipated Heavy Rain makes another showing at Lepzig after its closed door appearance at E3. This new trailer is actually looking amazing as it demonstrates the quicktime events that the developers had used with their last game, Indigo Prophecy. Expect this one to be one of the big hits of 2009.



Another year and another Need for Speed game, but this time it might be good since the last good NFS game to me was Most Wanted. NFS Undercover comes out on November 18with more intense racing and great FMV looking cutscenes starring Maggie Q (Mission Impossible III, Balls of Fury, Live Free or Die Hard). Doesn't mean I'll buy it, but since EA Black Box said they had more time with this one compared to Carbon and ProStreet, Undercover might bring back the series to greatness.



Another EA game ramps up the talent of actors and actresses, this time with Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. The cast is almost a who's who of actors we seen in TV shows and movies. Try to see who can you recognize from this trailer, its madness.



360 fan favorite Dead Rising (I liked this game too) is coming to the Wii with motion controls and graphics based on Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition. Supposedly, the save system is fixed and other changes are there too. I won't mind playing Dead Rising again if the controls are good enough, and plus Wii has pretty much nothing I'm looking forward for except MadWorld.



Speaking of MadWorld, here's the newest trailer and yes, this game is almost the saving grace for Wii owners who were disappointed by the lack of Nintendo games for the upcoming year (Animal Crossing, Wii Music). Sure, this game is violent as hell with the Sin City-like style and lots of blood, but another game like this is needed on the Wii even though more controversy may spark.



A new level is shown for Mirror's Edge to prove the game is not all skyscraper jumping, where Fayth tries to escape a facility with snipers trying to take her out. Yesh, people will be skeptical of the first-person experience and the red path of here's the way to go thing, but this game could be something special and another of 2009's games to watch out for.

Fallout 3 is out on October 28, a week after Fable 2, which means RPG fans will be busy for the rest of the year, but I'm surprised how close those two are from each other release-wise which may cause fans of the genre to pick either or, but might as well get both since they are great RPGs. They might as well play the hell out of Fable 2 and then go crazy with Fallout 3.



The new Prince of Persia is looking good as always with this new seven minute clip of the same level seen at E3 and Comic-Con.

More clips later.

The Music Game Corner for 8/20/08

The big two music games are at Lepzig for the GC and new footage and previews have rolled out for Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2.



Maybe "Beat It" is going to make me buy GH World Tour after all (at least just the game). IGN has other videos with "Everlong," Coldplay's "Shiver," and Linkin Park's "What I've Done" (Yeah kind of a bad choice for a LP song for GH WT compared to RB2).

Rock Band 2 is out in less than a month for 360 (The game only) and the previews will roll out later in the week from Lepzig, but GameSpot has their preview already up with new footage.



I decided to skip this week's DLC for Rock Band with Duran Duran and Devo even though it seems to be a good week with "Girls on Film" for example.

Dragonforce DLC is out tomorrow for Guitar Hero III and I actually traded in my disc already since I don't think any upcoming DLC will make me play that game again and might as well wait till World Tour.

More Lepzig updates for the next couple of days and my Galaga Legions review maybe tomorrow (Yeah, it is the weakest of the Summer of XBLA bunch, but it is still a good game and a challenge as well).
