Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II E3 Trailer

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Probably the best trailer I’ve seen out of E3 this year. I didn’t play the first game and had no intention of playing the second until watching this, which kind of sold me on the idea. Did Vader really expect like seven storm troopers to kill him?

One of the few sports games I ever played, and it was totally rad. Boom shakalaka.

Donkey Kong Country Returns E3 Trailer

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Donkey Kong Country Returns looks great, I love the 2D game play similar to the SNES games. The game features same-screen co-op two player, and it’s being developed by Retro , the same guys who successfully transitioned Metroid into 3D with Metroid Prime.

Metroid: Other M E3 Trailer

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Looks pretty cool, but I’m not sure how much 2D vs. 3D game play they’ll be. I’d personally rather more 2D then 3D, but either way the games looking really good. Metroid: Other M currently has an August 31, 2010 for North America.

Finally, something from the Finnish “rockers” HIM. Finally. After watching this I’m inspired to start wearing shirts showing a little midriff. I also learned it’s not spelled “midrift”.

Mega-Man-10

Pretty interesting list of games. I think I’m most looking forward to Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey from Atlus on the DS (March 10). Capcom also has some pretty good games coming: Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom on Wii, Phoenix Wright on WiiWare, Ace Attorney Investigations on DS, and Mega Man 10, the sequel to the download-only Mega Man 9.
