Now Playing (21/10/08)

While this week has been an interesting and yet sad one with a certain Sackboy missing his flight, we still managed to get a couple of the best looking trailers I have seen, possible all year! I was in complete surprise at what some of the companies have achieved after looking at a couple of this weeks ones.

This week we look at a Legendary trailer and check back in to see what you can make in Far Africa. We join up to the midnight club and get a need for speed. We look at the fight between a game and a comic and have a look at one red hot funny alert from a presidential campaign.

Legendary

Here's a story where a thief steals Pandora's Box and accidentally opens it. So now you have been put to the task to rid the world of these supernatural terrors that shouldn't exist. I thought it might have been simple until I seen this trailer! This game looks to have some legendary epic battles.

Far Cry 2

This is titled 'crazy map editor' for a reason! Some of those levels look insane! They have The Great Pyramids, Venice and even something that looks like Never Never Land! I can't wait to see what users can do with this. Even if the trailer looks more like something for LittleBigPlanet, the visuals and music are outstanding!

Midnight Club: Los Angeles

Now I have already talked about this earlier today, but I honestly can't wait. I always have loved the look and feel of the Midnight Club series, however in this trailer we check out the other side of the force, the cops!

Need for Speed Undercover

From one set of streets to another, this latest trailer from the Need for Speed series shows off a highway battle in progress. I like how they set out this trailer with a nice lead in effect. I can just hope this doesn't fall into the 'same old' trap like the last couple of Need For Speeds.

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe

I had high hopes for this game but every time I see a new trailer for it, my hopes die a little and a feel this won't live up to my expectations. This latest trailer chats to the games producers about some of the different fight mechanics. Personally I feel they have slowed down what a fighting game should be. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts on this.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

This week I saved the best until last. I watched this trailer and just laughed. I thought it had to be one the most hilarious and entertaining trailers I've seen some probably something those Rayman Rabbids did.

End Credits

So another week is over and I don't have a little sack like friend to play with (*sad face*) however I did get some of the best trailers I have seen. Fable 2 Launch Trailer looked pretty impressive and should be a good look for any RPG fan out there. As it draws closer to Christmas, companies will hopefully be putting out one last effort to promote their new titles, can't wait. Enjoy!
