Battlefield Bad Company 2 Trailer

The latest trailer for Battlefield Bad Company 2 has been released. The trailer doesn't show any gameplay, but does picture enough explosion to make Michael Bay happy. I'm guessing EA will drop more details about the game at upcoming E3 this June.

Dead Rising 2 will render 6,000 zombies on screen at once

In a recent GDC presentation about the over powered graphics engine behind Dead Rising 2, Izmeth Siddeek, the game's character art lead, made a rather shocking announcement: "Dead Rising 2 deals with the rendering of the greatest number of characters ever seen in a video game," he said. In laymen terms words, the insanely massive amounts of on-screen zombies featured in the original Dead Rising will apparently increase by a huge margin in the upcoming sequel.

The bloated zombie processing power can be accredited to developer Blue Castle's implementation of new visual technology called Mental Mill, which is capable of rendering large groups of characters without sacrificing graphical quality. Mental Mill product manager Laura Scholl claimed the new software will allow over 6,000 zombies to appear on-screen at once! This will provide multitudes of the undead that will surely be easy on the eyes.

Pixel Addictions: Flash Game of the Week

Another Friday, another flash game of week. This week, Kongregate offers us up another free game to waste time with. Don't Shi* Your Pants is fun and easy to play. The concept is simple, don't shi* your pants. It's a text adventure game so don't expect to find any hard controls or mouse movements here. One unique feature the game does offer up though is the inclusion of "achievements". You achievement addicts will find yourself playing over and over again to get everyone. I just hope you don't shi* your pants in the process.

Rides the Rails in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Nintendo has just dropped word of their latest upcoming title: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. It will feature everyone's favorite wide-eyed hero of time exclusively for the Nintendo DS. Showcased in some very brief footage shown at the Nintendo GDC 2009 keynote, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks has cel-shaded Link abandoning talking boats and the beloveded Epona for a train, that's right a train. However, this train comes equipped with a huge cannon, making this the franchise's first on-rails shooter.

It's set to be released later this year, but I wouldn't be surprised if this got delayed for a while.

Modern Warfare 2 Coming Nov. 10

First person shooter fan’s everywhere have been anxiously waiting for a first look at what Infinity Ward has been working on these past months. Well, GDC has provided IW with the first opportunity to let the cat out of the bag. The teaser trailer provides us with a first look at how epic Modern Warfare 2 will be.

The last Modern Warfare was one of my favorite games ever, so I'm pretty much ready to throw my arms open and hold it forever and ever. Am I alone on this one? You'll have to check the video to judge for yourself. Look out for Modern Warfare on the Xbox 360 and PS3 this November.

Need For Speed: 'SHIFT' Trailer

Earlier today, Major Nelson released news a new trailer from the upcoming racing sim Need For Speed: SHIFT. The teaser trailer manages to give us a glimpse of the high speed racing action we've come to expect from the series. Personally, I think the NFS franchise should return to its roots and make a sequel to Most Wanted. Something about out running police in epic 20 minute car chases across a city never gets old. Lookout for Need For Speed: Shift releasing on the xbox 360 and ps3 on September 17.
