Ubisoft has released a teaser trailer for their latest shooter Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.
The trailer doesn’t show any form of gameplay, though a release window of fall 2010 was given. We were also given a hint of stealth technology being present in the game.
Okay, it’s taking quite a bit of effort for me to restrain myself from drooling all over my table while watching the new trailer for Guild Wars 2. I’m an avid fan of the title, and this new trailer is just an orgas.. *ehem* a very pleasant experience. Watch the worldwide premiere of the trailer below.

Just a few hours ago, Infinity Ward releases a new video for their highly anticipated game of the year. This is where we are shown off how does a player get rewarded with an AC130 kill streak reward in the game. This is also the first time we are treated to an in-game footage showcasing the multiplayer aspect of the game.
Watch the video and look how Modern Warfare 2 is shaping up to be one of this year’s most anticipated game.
This video has been up on the net for a few months now and it’s getting really popular. It’s about a kid who freaks out (really freaks out) when he learns his mom canceled his World of Warcraft account. This kid looks like a drug addict experiencing withdrawal symptoms. It’s really funny at first, like ROFL funny. But as an afterthrought, I felt kind of sorry for the kid. Not because his account got canceled, but because his face is all over Youtube.
When it comes to movie-based games, the popular opinion can be summed up in one statement – They’re bad. But as games like the one based on Chronicles of Riddick have proved, there are exemptions to this. After watching the latest development diary of Wanter: Weapons of Fate, I’m inclined to think that this game is another one of those outstanding exemptions.
Although I’ve heard some buzz about the games months prior to the writing of this article, this is really the first time I’ve seen the game in action. To be honest it looks pretty impressive. By looks I mean more than just graphically. The gameplay style calls to mind games such as Gears of War because of its emphasis on cover, Mirror’s Edge because of its free-running-like movement system and throw in a little Uncharted there for its over-all feel (at least the feeling it gave me). The fact that the game reminds me of these three games in itself is already giving the game high praises. However, the game does more and adds a new combat system, one very unique to its IP – the curving bullet.
This combat mechanic really is the icing on the cake for this game. It allows the player to “assassinate” enemies while in cover, much like how it was done in the movie (and comic of course). On top of that, it also allows you to kill multiple enemies that are in the path of your bullet, which was also done in the movie. Any game that really incorporates what makes a certain IP fun and enjoyable, which in this case is the crazy bullet physics found in Wanted, is headed in the right direction.
It’s too soon to say whether or not the game will be good. However, from what I’ve seen so far, it certainly deserves much attention. I for one will be keeping my eye on this one.
