TrailerBlazer: Medal of Honor Extended Trailer

We’ve seen a few screenshots for this game recently, under development at EALA, as far as the singleplayer goes, and the multiplayer is being worked on by DICE, the Battlefield guys, who just churned out Bad Company 2, which has been labelled as being a better game than Modern Warfare 2.

The new “extended” trailer for Medal of Honor just came out, and shows a lot of desert warfare, with the most memorable bit at the end when a hostage is strapped with explosives at the naughty baddies try to set a trap for the undercover dudes who I’ve seen a lot of in the screenshots.

TrailerBlazer - Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Teaser

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

I had a look at this on The Verge the other night. It’s the teaser trailer for the upcoming Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. which will be out later this year.

The trailer starts off with these words: “Technology evolves. Threats evolve. Yet war…is constant. The solider of tomorrow must rise to meet these new threats.The future depends on it.”

This intro has instantly been compared to Fallout’s key phrase “War. War never changes.”

From there the trailer shows a bit of fancy graphical stuff, similar to what you’d see in Modern Warfare 2’s briefings, with a few glimpes of stuff and fluff, including some Predator-esque camouflage which sticks in my mind. Oh wait, Crysis all ready did that.

But no real gameplay was seen in this short teaser which clocks in at just about 1 minute long. But it’s early days yet.

TrailerBlazer: Aliens vs. Predator Marine Trailer

Aliens vs. Predator Marine trailer

I was lucky enough to catch a good look at the AvP Marine trailer before The Verge went off air the other night. Most of the show was boring, but this two minute long video managed to grab my attention.

In this trailer we see a lone marine who seems to be communicating with someone over the radio. It’s almost pitch black besides the ominous blue lighting in the distance, as well as the flares and intermittent flashes of pistol fire as the Xenomorphs run rampant on floors, walls, and ceilings. You can hear the hisses in the darkness punctuating the techno music blaring.

The player manages to dispatch most of them before running over to a corpse and picking up the old faithful Pulse Rifle and going back in to the fray of frantic scratching and clawing as the aliens attack remorselessly. But eventually he succumbs as the screen goes black, and the aliens crawl all over his lifeless body.

This game looks pretty good, but be warned, Game Informer wasn’t very impressed when it came to reviewing it – the first review of AvP. It scored only 5.75 out of 10. Not very impressive, but the game still has to be released and reviewed by others. Not everyone will like a game. I mean, remember D’toid with Assassin’s Creed II? Everyone else thought it was pretty grand…

Aliens vs. Predator should be out later this month, the 16th of February, for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. Let the heart-attacks and night shrieking begin…

TrailerBlazer: Metro 2033

This is the one of those cool trailers I watched live on The Verge the other night, which was stacked full of them, including BioShock 2. I’m thinking this is the 3rd trailer that was talked about the other day.

This trailer shows off some stuff like a mounted flamethrower, kind of like a massive machine gun but not. That’s the one thing that caught my attention. It’s looking awesome, this game.

By the way, I was reading the other day that on THQ’s online store, they are giving away Red Faction: Guerrilla for free when you preorder Metro 2033. Initially it was thought this was an exclusive deal, but now you can also get the same deal on where else but Steam. I saw this on Metro 2033’s Twitter page.

Well, according to Steam, it’s 1 month, 1 week, 5 days and 3 hours to go (while typing this). Waiting…

TrailerBlazer: The Secret World

The Secret World Kingsmouth Trailer

The Secret World is a title that was previously referred to by the working titles of Cabal and The World Online. They showed a trailer of this game by Funcom on The Verge recently.

You know, I’d never really paid much attention to this one, but clearly it’s all about zombies or similar looking monsters even though the narrator of this trailer refuses to call them by that name, and it’s been in development for years all ready. The turn off for me is that it’s an MMO, seeing as it’s being made by the same people who made Anarchy Online and Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.

Moving on, then. Sorry, but MMOs just aren’t my thing.

TrailerBlazer: BioShock 2 Launch Trailer

On The Verge on Wednesday, it was stocked full of trailers, but good ones. Usually it’s one or two worthwhile games a week, but this episode showed trailers for about three or four games that I’m waiting for this year.

BioShock 2 Launch Trailer

One of these was the launch trailer for BioShock 2. It shows the Little Sister running from a Splicer, only to be saved by none other than the Big Daddy, except it’s your character, the Prototype Big Daddy, and he drills that Splicer, baby!

Then there's a bit of peace and quiet before another full fledged ambush from some more Splicers, including what looks like Coach from Left 4 Dead 2 – this big African dude who takes on the Big Daddy and actually kicks his @ss for a while before being shocked while standing in a puddle. He had your number, big guy.

And then there’s another of the main characters, and antagonists, in the game, the Big Sister, who breaks the glass ceiling overhead, drops down and floods the whole room, before she and the Big Daddy clash in the middle before a screen comes up reading “We Will be Reborn” and then going to black.

BioShock 2 should be out on the 9th of February 2010, or Tuesday next week, on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.
