Moebius

Moebius, created by Jane Jensen of Gabriel Knight fame, describes itself as a ‘metaphysial thriller’. There appears to be a plot revolving around solving a murder or some such, but then there also appears to be what looks very much like a Star Gate.

The trailer pretty much speaks for itself about whether you’ll be interested in this one or not. If you can get past the average-looking animation and see what will probably be a deep and engrossing storyline, be sure to check it out.

Moebius has a release date set for late June, but the trailer itself keeps mum on that and gives a far more vague ‘coming 2013′, which may mean we might see a last minute delay. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think!

Leviathan: Warships

Remember that sweet as heck jazz trailer for Leviathan: Warships? If you haven’t seen it, take the time to check it out because a) it’s funny as heck and b) the rest of this post won’t make a lot of sense if you haven’t seen it.

Well, straight from the sunny shores of E3, the Paradox guys have released a new, free update for Leviathan, one that includes all new Jazz Mode. Jazz Mode includes a delightful jazz soundtrack as well as the vocal opiate that is Jazz Boatman, narrator of the jazz trailers and now narrator of Jazz Mode (and my heart).

The patch also updates the game, of course, and brings with it some tweaks, fixes and rebalances. But that’s boring.

Here is the latest in sweet jazz trailers. To activate Jazz Mode in your Leviathan game, just hit the ‘Big Red Jazz Button’.

Company of Heroes 2

Company of Heroes 2 comes out in a very short time. Something like 2 weeks, in fact. But that won’t stop it from releasing a trailer at E3, because that is what all the cool kids are doing.

Do you like explosions and simulated combat? Maybe this is the trailer for you! There is a lot of running around in the snow and tanks and other assorted war paraphernalia. I’m sure it all looks very interesting if you’re into that sort of thing, but I am not, so I am probably not doing it justice. Remember, anybody can get into the Company of Heroes 2 beta just by downloading it on Steam.

Here is the multiplayer trailer! And as per usually usual, you can yoink yourself a copy of the trailer from our file library for the low, low price of free, including quota free. Hooray!

Star Wars Battlefront

Now, this next trailer might not show a great deal, but it’s a pretty anticipated game and the trailer itself was only shown over the live stream of EA press conference at E3 — so if you didn’t catch it, here it is.

We have here a very small first look at DICE’s take on the Star Wars universe, in Star Wars Battlefront. The game will use the Frostbite 3 game engine, and promises “surprising gameplay”. The trailer seems to take place on what I’m going to assume is Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back. It could be some other ice planet, but with the AT-AT and the probe droid, both of which were present, it seems like a pretty good bet.

Apart from that, the point of view is pretty ambiguous, there’s no telling if you’re an Imperial soldier thrown from one of the walkers or a Rebel whose fighter was blown to bits. I guess we’ll have to wait for more information! What do you guys think, any speculations?

And of course, though it is short, make sure you grab it in HD from our file library, as usual.

Witcher 3

Wow, wow, wowie, wow. We’re all excited for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, correct? Well, if you aren’t and you call yourself a fan of RPGs at all, you should be ashamed of yourself, and hopefully this new gameplay trailer will change your mind.

Geralt has a beard and a saw-sword, both of which should go a long way in illustrating his complete lack of trucks to give this time around. Also, in a two minute trailer I only saw one set of boobs! That’s got to be some kind of record for The Witcher, right?

This final chapter of The Witcher saga promises moral ambiguity, a world 35 times larger than Assassin of Kings, and an enormous one hundred hours of gameplay. It is safe to say that I am looking forward to this one very much, and not just because Geralt looks so dreamy when he scowls (which is all the time).

Check out the trailer below, and make sure you grab it in glorious 1080p from our file library.

Deponia

From the studio that brought you Deponia and Chaos on Deponia comes the latest offering in the same vein, Goodbye Deponia.

The indie adventure games were made by Daedalic Entertainment, a company once described apparently as, “Lucasarts from Germany”.

All we have is a teaser trailer at the moment, but it promises to be as wacky and gorgeous as the other two games. Here is the teaser below and, as usual, if you find yourself enamoured with the trailer and want to make it your very own, make sure you grab it from GON’s own glorious file library.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

Everyone (except a reasonable proportion of people) loves LEGO games! Even if you don’t love them, you surely have to appreciate the fun-loving, tongue-in-cheek attitude behind them.

And, as if that weren’t enough, you can now play as LEGO Hulk. LEGO Hulk. Let’s face it, I’m sold already.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes appears to be vaguely based on the plot of Joss Whedon’s Avengers film, with the eponymous group facing off against Loki and whatnot. There do seem to be some of the canonical occasional-Avengers that the film left out though, like Wolverine and Spider-Man. Also, the Fantastic Two Out of Four, Human Torch and Mr Fantastic.

So it looks like LEGO Marvel Super Heroes promises to cover some new ground and hopefully give us some laughs along the way. Check out the latest trailer fresh out of the E3 womb, and if you think it’s hella tight or whatever you cool kids call it these days, make sure you download it in HD from our wonderous file library of wonders!

Command & Conquer

Personally, I find it difficult to believe that anyone can make General without having played single game of chess. I suppose it’s possible, but it seems very, very unlikely.

I digress, though. On the one hand, belittling the very video games they’d like you to purchase while trying to draw you in with the other, this Command & Conquer trailer introduces you to The Generals, whose roles you will be taking. Each General comes with their own customised kit, up to and including personalities and unique units. Racial stereotypes are just an added bonus!

Check out this latest trailer out of E3 and let us know what you think!

Mad Max

You’ve probably heard — because the Internet was all abuzz with it — but a Mad Max game has been announced at E3 this year. And in true E3 style, there is a trailer to go with it.

An open-world, third-person action game, you will play the titular crazy man vying to survive in a post-apocalyptic, car-eats-car world. You will scavenge The Wasteland for materials to make your car the biggest, best and most hungry of all the cars, while performing dangerous missions and generally ruining everyone else’s day.

Scheduled for release in 2014, Mad Max may be a little while off, but the E3 announcement trailer really illustrates the concept perfectly: the brutality, the violence, the need to save your precious resources and of course, the mad cars. Check it out below.

Rayman Legends

I’ve always sucked at platformers, and as such never really played any Rayman games. But the trailer for Rayman:Legends even has me vaguely interested.

It’s everything you love about platformers, but looks hella sweet. And it has competitive multiplayer modes and things. And musical maps? I’m not even sure what that means, but it sounds cool. It also has over 120 levels, making it pretty legendary proportions.

I dunno, you should just watch the trailer. It’s pretty convincing on its own.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Splinter Cell: Blacklist has been kicking around since at least last E3 — but here is another trailer for it!

This one is meant to focus on ‘scope’, which means there are images of Sam Fisher standing in various locations like on a train! And on top of a building for some reason! We forgot to mention that this is actually a Splinter Cell/Assassin’s Creed crossover.

As far as I’m concerned though, all I can focus on is how much I don’t like Fisher’s new voice. Michael Ironside forever! (“Rasczak’s Roughnecks! HURGH!”)

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is to be released on August 20 here Down Under, and will be coming to the XBox 360, PS3, Wii U and of course, the PC. Now — the trailer. Watch it with your eyes. And your heart.

South Park: The Stick of Truth

Pay attention, grasshopper, and I will teach you a fart called the ‘Nagasaki’. Teach you… a fart? Yeah, okay. South Park: The Stick Of Truth, everybody!

We’ve got the latest trailer fresh out of the E3-oven, and though it is piping hot, it doesn’t smell a thing like fresh bread.

Here is the trailer! It is about farts! And if you really enjoy farts, maybe you’d like to download the trailer from our file library! Yes? Well, click here!
