Even though there are more than 20 games due for release this week, most eyes are going to be fixated on the two showstoppers – Modern Warfare 2 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In the unlikely event that these two guaranteed Game of the Year candidates don't appeal to you, there are other good games on the way, such as Invisimals, Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier and A Boy and His Blob.
Don't forget to check out the full release schedule for the latest changes and information on upcoming games.

Welcome to this week's edition of Now Playing, where each and every Tuesday, we attempt to bring to your attention what we think are the best and worst trailers have been released in the past week.
Today, we take a look at a number of games, where we actually try to have a consistent theme throughout now playing. This week we will have an RPG theme, three games featured start with a D (try and guess them all!), and through some random twist of fate, two of them are developed by the Gods over at Bioware. The last is one that has made headlines before, and will probably make headlines again.
Starved for some RPG trailers? Watch Now Playing!

Early information on Divinity 2 wasn't exactly promising. The press releases from German publisher dtp breathlessly announced that "the player character’s abilities can be steadily improved over the course of the game and specialised in specific areas", that "players will be able to find many items which have special game-play functions", and even that "players can use a large variety of weapons."
Ground-breaking stuff.

With July nearing its end, Now Playing comes to you this week in a desperate bid to try and make you all watch trailers and put up with its constant displeasure at all things video-game (and current world-events) related.
This week we take a look at recent events and how the titles of some trailers may or may not relate to things that have recently occurred in the world. First up, we have a morbid memoir to King of Pop (only a few weeks late). After that, we explore what its like to hit things with what was once a tree trunk all for some charred remains and an urn.
After that, we burn rubber to produce smoke, before realising that, as a dragon knight, that's what we're supposed to do. After all that happens, we choose to retreat to a shadowy complex where we can rest.

The Australian distribution scene has been pretty lively lately, what with the closure of Red Ant in January and the recent metamorphosis of Atari Australia into Namco Bandai Partners. It doesn't look like the fun's due to end any time soon with the announcement of the rebranding of Funtastic Interactive into a division of the ever-growing Madman label, probably best known for being behind a huge slice of the DVD distribution market, and particularly the early anime explosion as well as cult and classic Asian cinema. Not heard of Funtastic? Well, with a line-up over the next financial year that includes titles like Divinity 2: Ego Draconis, Cursed Mountain, Split / Second, and The Great Giana Sisters, you'll soon know all about Madman Interactive.

It is Tuesday once more, and whether you like it or not, Now Playing returns with a twinkle in its eye and a chip on its shoulder. This week, we examine many recently released trailers, noting our displeasure (or in rare cases, pleasure) at the content held within.
This week, we take another look at the world from those privileged enough to spend time with dragons, before being consumed by flame and finding ourselves in hell. Shortly after we've been tormented for our sins, we discover that in actual fact, we were stuck in an asylum, which may or may not have once been inhabited by insane members of the army.
Finally, we come to the not-so surprising revelation that we're all just virtual, disgruntled World War II era veterans out to make a buck and save the world.

Each Tuesday, Games On Net haplessly brings you a selection of recently released trailers for video games, be they good, bad, memorable, or simply shocking, in an effort to make your Tuesday night a joy, or alternatively; a horror - it all depends on your mindset.
This week, we take a look at a number of fantasy-esque games in a number of ways. First there is Demon's Souls, a PlayStation 3 exclusive that suggests the demons within the black behemoth haven't yet fully been expelled. After that, we tend to the loss of our loved ones in Divinity II - Ego Draconis, in which we get excited about the fact that we can ride dragons around and torch things. Once we're done petting our lovely dragon, we turn to a more tame sort of steed, embarking on a journey atop a destrier delivering us to Darksiders: Wrath of War.
Once we're done riding our war horse into battle, we take a look at what the Japanese gaming world can expect from Resonance of Fate while nodding on confusion and awe, before finally retreating inward to our cave-like dungeon in Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman: What Did I Do to Deserve This?.

If you played your way through 2004 RPG, Divine Divinity (perhaps as part of the deluxe edition of Beyond Divinity, you may be disappointed to find out that according to the series' official canon, your character from that slightly redundantly-titled game, the Divine, was rapidly killed off in a battle with a dragon knight. All is not lost though, as the Divine's surviving paladins swore revenge, thus leaving the plot open for the sequel, Divinity 2: Ego Draconis to make its way to PC and Xbox 360 over the next few months.
