    Batman: Arkham City Voice Actors

    I love seeing videos like this. I really enjoy seeing how things work behind the scenes. This blows my mind.

    Metro Last Light Live-Action Trailer

    I LOVED Metro 2033. It really was brilliant and it looked amazing. The game made me want to read the book, which I did, and now I'm waiting for the English translation of the other books in the series. Hopefully Metro Last Light will convince the publishers to bring it over to the states.

    In the meantime, a live-action trailer for Metro Last Light has been released and it only makes me want this next game even more. I'm going back and replaying Metro 2033 because of this. Shame it has a vague 2013 release window.

    Sleeping Dogs Preview

    As any of my friends can tell you, I'm a huge fan of Asian crime-dramas. Hard Boiled, Infernal Affiars, The Protege, all classics in my books. So when I saw the first trailer for Sleeping Dogs my ears perked up immediately. It looked, sounded and played just how I would imagine one of my crime-dramas would in videogame format.

    IGN released this video preview and now I can't wait for its release in August.

    Colonial Marines Release Date Announced

    Oh mama. This is one of those games that I've had my eyes on for a long, long time. It is a direct sequel to Aliens and even has the original set designer from the movies helping.

    Sure the release window was pushed back, but at least we can mark our calendars now. Also, look how pretty this game is.

    Ooooo. Ahhhhh. Nice, very nice.
