  • EA and Visceral Games announced the January 25, 2011 release date for Dead Space 2, as well as a new trailer. Looks really good, first one was amazing and a bit underrated, hopefully this one will do even better.

  • I’ve never really been a fan of the Command and Conquer series. Maybe it was the horribly cheesy cutscenes. Maybe it was lame units from previous entries in the series, such as the armored attack bear units, or the transforming mechas and ninjas. Something about the whole series just doesn’t sit well with me.

  • A trailer for the revived Medal of Honor franchise premiered at the Video Game Awards tonight. The guys beard at the end is amazing.

Regardless, more details here (Slightly off topic, and I know it’s not exactly a brand new feature,…

  • Word on Wall Street is Microsoft is going to Buy EA. I don’t know why Wall Street would randomly make up a rumor like this…but it’s driven up the stock prices for both EA and Microsoft (EA is up 8.1 percent, Microsoft 1.1 percent). Even Reuters covered the issue. “There’s talk that Microsoft might be…

  • It’s Left 4 Dead news day, apparently. At a press conference held in Tokyo, EA announced that a Left 4 Dead 2 demo will be out October 27th. No details on if the demo would be for the PC, Xbox 360, or both.

  • After watching the video, I’m really excited to try out the demo. The dialog seems really well done, I don’t know just seems like the game will be awesome.
