Age of Empires Online: August 16 launch
Word from Microsoft themselves points that their Age of Empires Online game is coming out in less than 3 months’ time on August 16. This spiritual spinoff, I really wouldn’t call it a successor or reboot to the Age of Empires made by the now-defunct Ensemble studios and it would be insulting to the developers of the original 3 games if I did, to the series does away with the moderately […]

Here’s an official video trailer of the upcoming Metro: Last Light horror/post-apocalyptic first person shooter. Scaring the heck out of you in 2012… From this one minute long trailer, it seems we’ll be seeing more of Artyom, his homemade underground Russian guns and weaponry, more scary mutated Metro subway monsters and the ever-messy violent politics between the post-apocalyptic subway station dwellers.

It seems that the sequel to the original Metro 2033 horror-shooter video game will see some nice improvements.

Mark your calendars folks! Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed UK channel has just released a short 53 second “teaser trailer” which sports Ezio in a voice-over, muttering something about finding out the truth and how everything will end; with the miniature trailer ending with “Full, exclusive trailer… Coming 7th June”.

Isn’t the latest Call Of Duty game cover great? I like that it’s plain. Black and white makes the green words stand out.
The maps are going to be in England, Germany, France and America. At least we get a chance to ‘tour’ Europe in the game! Can’t wait for the return of Soap MacTavish and hopefully some other familiar characters like Captain Price.
