Pre-E3 GameTrailers TV

This week's GameTrailers TV has some of the big boys for E3 next week.



I'll start off with a clip of Rock Band 2 featuring Foo Fighters' "Everlong" and first gameplay which is the same looking game, but a little better (Good luck on Expert Drums).



A teaser for Fallout 3 is also in this episode, which is not much, but expect more next week for Bethesda's next game (They did the Elder Scrolls games).



BioWare's next game (Mass Effect folks, KOTOR) is Dragon Age, currently slated for the PC. It looks like they are going back to medieval-like fantasy worlds unlike sci-fi craziness that Mass Effect had. Hopefully it lives up to the BioWare pedigree.

The episode focuses on Gears 2 and expect SpikeTV to do some E3 shows throughout next week.

Expect my E3 predictions (maybe) and ABDC Recap posts this weekend.

First official footage of Mega Man 9!!

IGN exclusively has the trailer for Mega Man 9 coming to WiiWare, Playstation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade hopefully later this year. As mentioned before, this goes back to the 8-bit Mega Man days: graphics, gameplay, and sound. This is perhaps the ultimate nostalgia trip for hardcore fans of the series and it is finally becoming reality. It has been a back and forth story with Capcom dodging questions like only WiiWare and where's the PSN and XBLA versions? This trailer recofirms those two versions along with WiiWare and now everyone is happy.

Another Botchmania.....

Botchmania 47 is out and it is mostly old stuff, but still awesome.

More Trailers featuring The Force Unleased & Mirror's Edge

The newest trailer for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is out and maybe LucasArts revealed a little more than we wanted to regarding the Secret Apprentice's story. This game is out on September 16 for the major consoles.



Mirror's Edge is expected to be one of the big games shown at E3 next week and this new clip focuses on the storyline of what drives the main character to do what she does.

A Trailer for the Max Payne Movie

Here's the first trailer for the Max Payne movie, another one based on a video game. This one stars Mark Walhberg, aka Marky Mark, as he plays Max Payne. So far, it seems faithful to the first game being dark and gritty along with the bullet time action. Hopefully, it turns out to be another decent game to movie flick.

First Footage of Tatsunko vs. Capcom!!

The first trailer and gameplay footage of Tatsunko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes is here and it is definitely the successor to the Marvel VS games. It retains the same style of air combos (aerial raves at Japan), hyper combos, assists, and double team supers. There are some new stuff noticed like continuing an air combo King of Fighters XI style switching to your partner and a new counter system. There is still no word on a U.S. release for either arcades and consoles, but it is less than 50/50 considering the Tatsunko franchises have little or no presence at the States, but we all know the Capcom peeps (Ryu, Chun-Li, Morrigan, Alex, the guy from Rival Schools, and the main character from Onimusha 4: Dawn of Dreams confirmed so far). This is definitely another fighting game to look out for if you're a fan of the versus games (MvC2) or the franchises in general.

Yay at 200th Post??

UPDATE - This game is going to be at Evo next month as a location test for U.S. players to try out along with Street Fighter IV and Super SFII Turbo HD Remix (Yes!!!). Here's also footage from a Japan loketest too.

What's Your Story..... More RHCP in Rock Band

Other than "Give It Away" coming to Rock Band 2, more RHCP love is out today in Rock Band 1 with two singles from their Stadium Arcadium album, "Tell Me Baby" and "Snow (Hey Oh!)" along with two more Rush songs, "Working Man" (Master) and "Closer to the Heart" this week as DLC.



"Tell Me Baby" is probably my pick of the week being a familiar song that anyone can rock out to, but the bass chart might be a little tricky for some people.



"Snow" on the other hand is really hard on guitar (Expert) as I couldn't even go 10% on the song with that damn main riff. Definitely one of the harder songs in the game now.

More Rock Band awesomeness next week with EA and Harmonix showing off Rock Band 2 for the first time at E3. Plus, The Who's 12-pack of songs are out next Tuesday, which will be good.
