The Castle Wolfenstein games have been around since the early days of computing. There's a new Wolfenstein in development from Activision Blizzard. Here's a promotional cinematic trailer for the game. It's great when the games take plot seriously. Destructoid has more details about the game - which will have a supernatural element - here.
The following trailer is NVIDIA's Medusa DX10 Demo to show off graphic capability. It's a very cool demo and an interesting twist on Medusa. It is unfortunate that you can't play this as a game. Also check out the realistic rain demo here.
The Lucas Arts Lego game version of Indiana Jones will be out this June. A CVG article reveals much about the game. Indiana still has his fear of snakes. He has hit hat and his whip as you can see in the video below. One interesting note is that the Nazis are not called Nazis in the game but they are still horrible, terrible and evil Lego people. They are not Nazis but yet they are Nazis.
Jone's snake phobia hasn't been overlooked either. When faced with slithering nasties the hero will be rendered ineffective leaving it down to another character - presumably AI or player-driven - to help out. And the phobia mechanic won't be exclusive to Indy, either.
Stacking the Indy adventure up against the Star Wars games, Edge says that "Pulling levels to open doors, building platforms to reach them and then destroying them (and everything else) for studs has grown into something more open and explorative".
According to the article, Lego Indy is far funnier than Lego Star Wars. It describes how, in the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark when Indy shoves the Staff of Ra into a hole in the map room, the intense beam of light that reveals the resting place of the Ark will actually either blind the hero of set the room on fire. But it's not saying which.
Perhaps partly in keeping with this, according to Edge Traveller's Tales has chosen to remove Nazis - and any reference to them it appears, from what TT says - from the game, "Lego having already replaced them with an anonymous genocidal, occultist, trenchcoat-wearing master-race". The studio explains it has left it down to the strength of the Indy characters to show they are bad guys - but "that said, we like to reinforce the fact that these really are terrible, terrible people".
Here is the trailer for Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures.
The Wikipedia entry says that Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga features Indy as an unlockable playable character. You can see Indy in Lego Star Wars in this video clip. (via Fantasy SF Blog)
With the Iron Man movie coming out in 2008 it is not a surprise that Sega and Marvel cut a deal to make a video game. Game Informersays Sega spent a lot of time on Iron Man's aerial capabilities and you can see that in the trailer below.
The team at Sega didn't want to confine old Shell Head to the close quarters of a New York alley or subway, and are designing a lot of large open environments to showcase his aerial abilities. Iron Man is basically a flying human tank, but even so he weaves through enemy fire and past factory smoke stacks at speeds approaching 300 m.p.h. He needs his space.
Sega has a wealth of comic lore to draw from, so the game won't be limited to the movie's plot. Not only does this mean that we will see popular characters from the comics like Jim Rhodes, Jarvis and Pepper Potts, but we'll also face off against a variety of old comic villains and don some of the more popular Iron Man suits from years gone by. The game is off to a promising start, and if Sega can pull all the pieces together it might end up with a game that can appeal to more than just comic enthusiasts.
The game is coming out in Spring 2008 according to Sega's website. Here's the trailer.
The heroes are really getting pwned in this trailer for Sony Online Entertainment's Gods and Heroes. This trailer makes you want to help the heroes kill these awful monsters. Unfortunately, that will never happen because the game was cancelled last month. A note on the website thanks fans for their support. The message says the game is on "indefinite hold." Here is the video of the heroes getting their butts kicked. You will probably never have a change to avenge their fate.
Electronic Arts placed this video of The Simpsons video game on YouTube where it quickly received over 1.5 million views. The video plays to the "Rock You Like a Hurricane" song by the Scorpions. The Simpsons game hits stores November 1st for the Playstation2, Playstation3, XBOX 360, Wii, NDS and PSP. They are pretty excited about a toy called the Homerball (pictured on right) on the official website. If the game is as big a hit as the movie it should do pretty well. By the way, the website for the Simpsons film had a few time killer games include a skateboarding Bart game that isn't bad and a pong game you play against computer opponents. They also have a Simpson's avatar creator tool there.
Here is the trailer for the upcoming mystery adventure video game based on ABC's popular Lost tv series. UbiSoft is the company behind the Lost game.
It looks like you get to do a lot more in this game than just type a series of numbers into a computer -- and that's a good thing. Wikipedia says that Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof claims the game is "ridiculously awesome."
A release date has not yet been announced for the game. The game's official website can be found here. Looking at these digital Lost scenes just makes us want the new season of Lost to hurry up and start that much more. At least they gave us the Orchid orientation video.
The upcoming LEGO online universe looks irresistible in this first trailer for the LEGO world. NetDevil is the company developing the LEGO MMO. Check out all the LEGO supplies they have received for creative inspiration.
Flow, once an online game, is now available for the PS3. In the game you pilot an aquatic organism through a surreal biosphere where players consume other organisms, evolve, and dive into the abyss. The PS3 website says an embedded design of DDA (dynamic difficulty adjustment) is used allowing players with differing skill levels to customize their game experience and enjoy the game at their own pace. You can play as one of 5 different creatures. You slowly become a more advanced creature as you eat other organisms. G4TV has a video review of the groovy trippy $8 game that is Flow for the PS3.
Rockstar Games has released this trailer from Grand Theft Auto IV -- GTA IV. According to the official website the release date will be 10-16-07. The new game takes place in "Liberty City" which looks like New York City. Predictably, politicians have already made complaints about the new game.
