Welcome to this week's instalment of Now Playing. With the end of the year getting closer, and new releases starting to pop up on store shelves everywhere (with no end in sight) there are quite a few trailers floating around. So you don't have to go through every single one of them and see if they are good or not, we use our time to do it for you.

This week, we take a look at Dragon Age: Origins, Gran Turismo 5, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the new downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV, and Brutal Legend.

Dragon Age: Origins

I'd imagine that I'm not the only person in the world who is very anxiously waiting for Dragon Age: Origins - For me, it is the biggest release of the second half of the year, and this new trailer shows off some of the environments in the game, and how they are populated by characters in the world.

Gran Turismo 5

Even though a release for Gran Turismo 5 on the PlayStation 3 is probably still quite far away, Polyphony Digital continue to torment us. A trailer featuring a shiny Ferrarri has been released, and well, it looks quite nice, even if it is highly unlikely that any of us will actually ever get to drive such a beast.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

We all know that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is going to sell stupidly well, so I'm not sure why Infinity Ward are even producing shiny new trailers for the game when many people don;t even need any convincing about how awesome it is going to be. For those of you who are cynics, or just WANT to see the trailer, (and haven't seen it already) - watch it.

Grant Theft Auto IV

If you're waiting (im)pateintly for Episodes from Liberty City, then this new trailer is probably going to make you a pretty happy camper. It introduces some new characters, and shows off some more in-game action that you could probably replicate somehow in vanilla Grand Theft Auto IV if you spent long enough waiting for the digital gods to grace you with some sort of incredibly good luck.

Brutal Legend

Well, then, here is an interesting video. According to some information that managed to somehow escape from Tim Schaffer's hideout, unless there are 666 MILLION downloads of the Brutal Legend demo, everyone will contract Swine Flu. Fun. If you don't get the humour, or why such a thing could possibly happen, watch the video below. At your own risk. You might contract Swine Flu.
