THE NEW DARK KNIGHT RISES TRAILER IS HERE
To say that I’m excited about the conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy would be a wild understatement. The new trailer unlocked by the movies viral campaign today did nothing to lessen that unparalleled amount of anticipation I feel. Well maybe Anne Hathaway as Catwoman did make me shiver with douche chills for a moment…but only for a moment I swear!

SEGA CANCELS BAYONETTA 2
It looks like the ramifications of Sega’s heavy financial losses last year are finally becoming apparent as the game publisher has officially cancelled the sequel to Platinum Games 2010 hit. For those unfamiliar, Bayonetta was a wildly stylish Devil May Cry clone developed by Platinum, the same developer that brought us games like Mad World and Vanquish.

KEN LEVINE AND AMY HENNIG SIT DOWN TO DISCUSS STORY IN GAMES
As we’ve intoned in the last month or so, this Mass Effect controversy has been quite easily rendered into “beating a dead horse” status. But really, who cares what we think? Who cares what those who demanded a new ending think? The opinion that probably matters most is that of game developers themselves. Last month, BioShock Infinite creative director Ken Levine said at a discussion at the Smithsonian that the whole debacle was making him

NEW PROMOTIONAL IMAGES FOR THE DARK KNIGHT RISES
Warner Bros. released a few new promotional shots for the Dark Knight Rises today, the coolest of which features the Batman in close quarters combat with Bane. Between The Avengers, and Christopher Nolan’s final installment in this series of Batman movies, 2012 is shaping up to be a comic nerds most spectacular wet dream. I for one am already semi-turgid:) Is that the new Bat-Wing in the final image?

THE NEW G.I. JOE: RETALIATION TRAILER DROPS
And it’s a doozy, although as each new trailer drops it becomes more and more apparent that The Rock is this franchises new star, and Channing Tatum is little more than an after thought. In this trailer we get a few new looks at the vehicles from the movie. This time around it looks like we are going to see a much more realistic portrayal of military tech, meaning I doubt we’ll see anyone bo-tarding out in a Sigma-6 suit.

DEAD SPACE DEV WANTS TO CLARIFY GEARS OF WAR CRITIQUE
Sometimes you say things in interviews that you immediately wish you could take back, something tells me that this is one of those times. In an official EA interview, Dead Space story producer Chuck Beaver went on record calling Epic’s Gears of War franchise’s storytelling “atrocious”, and some of the “worst writing in video games”.
