Resident Evil has always been one of my favorite game series. The suspense of having a zombie or mutant dog jump out and attack me is second-to-none. Nothing beats the warm, fuzzy feeling I get knowing that I get to keep my kidney for a little while longer.

A new Resident Evil 5 trailer has been released that just looks sweet. There were a couple moments with tons of zombies on screen as well as some suspenseful moments. Capcom is getting ready to give me the bloody good time I want. What do you guys think? Are you all excited for some zombie killing?

Resident Evil 5 will be released in 2009 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Here’s a game that just really needs to come out. Dennis Dyack seems like a great guy, but after so many years of hearing him talk about Too Human, I just want to play the damn thing for myself. Luckily, this trailer that focuses on the co-op element of Silicon Knights’ oft-delayed action-RPG is enough to tide me over until the game’s release in August.

A quick note: The first third or so of the clip is the only part focused on Too Human with the rest of the time being devoted to a History Channelesque look at “The Goblin Man”, so heads up. You can also get this on the Xbox Live Marketplace, so pick your poison.

Now, I know that video games with some amount of sex appeal tend to sell well, but I’m pretty sure that only works if the sex appeal in question doesn’t say stupid one-liners like, “Don’t be afraid of women with muscles, boys; we are not afraid of yours.” Ugh.

Anyway, this is Gina Carano, and she’ll be playing Natasha in Red Alert 3. This is shameless, EA. I’m surprised you guys don’t just have her playing with a tiberium dildo or something…

As if hype for MGS4 hadn’t already reached an all-time high…

The Xbox Live Arcade is a unique creature. Most of the time, it spits out dreck and crud with the frequency of a sewage plant. But on rare occasions, a hidden gem will shine through at just the right time to restore our faith in the service. One such game was the original Assault Heroes, a two-stick shooter in the vein of Geometry Wars. What set it apart was that on top of such simple gameplay, developer Wanako Games provided a unique presentation with the use of multiple vehicles and realized enemies, rather than simple shapes.

The game was such a fun, little experience and so well received that Sierra released a sequel for it a few weeks ago. But does Assault Heroes 2 provide anything new, or is it just more of the same? Keep reading to find out.

A new trailer for Guitar Hero: On Tour is out, and I have to say that it just plain sucks.

It’s not very well done and it just keeps on going, so it ends up being embarrassing for everyone involved.

I know this isn’t meant to be a serious trailer, but I don’t think it was supposed to be this bad either. They are trying to sell a game, after all. They could have went with the easiest option and just put some almost naked chicks in there somewhere, or they could have followed the Guitar Hero: World Tour approach and just showed people rocking out with a list of features, both of which would have ended up a lot better than some guy picking his DS and some dumbass singing about all the features. Especially when you have the kind of features that Guitar Hero: On Tour has.

Everybody loves contests, and here at MEGATONik, we totally get that. That’s why we’re committed to giving as much as humanly possible to our readers.

Today, the guys at EA were nice enough to provide us with a batch of demo codes for Battlefield: Bad Company that let you play the demo before it’s officially released onto XBL and PSN on June 5th.

So, what I’m going to do is, until I run out, pick one or two people who comment on this post every so often over the next day and hook them up with these codes. Just make sure your comment says whether you want it for 360 or PS3.

Easy enough, right?

WINNERS:

For those of you that don’t recognize that pig–and I’m sure there are a saddening amount of you out there–his name is Pey’j, and he played a major role in 2003’s amazing sleeper hit Beyond Good & Evil. This trailer, shown at Ubisoft’s UbiDays Paris event today, is essentially the confirmation of a sequel. For anybody that’s played the original, this should be some damnably exciting news. For anybody that hasn’t, what the hell? Go out and pick it up so you’ll know where the story stands once this second one comes out. You’re doing yourself a disservice as a gamer if you don’t!

No news yet on a release date or what platforms it’ll be available for.

After it was announced that the next Guitar Hero game would incorporate other instruments to the game, fans began speculating on the price. Well, GameStop placed the prices of the game up on its website, revealing that the bundles for the PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 will cost $20 more than Rock Band’s special edition bundle cost - $189.99. The PS2’s bundle will cost $10 less, at $179.99.

To purchase just the guitar and game, it will cost $99.99. The game is priced at $59.99 for 360 and PS3 owners, while PS2 and Wii owners can buy Guitar Hero: World Tour for $49.99. The game will release October 27, 2008.

Above is a video of Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Chad Smith, blink-182’s Travis Barker, and The Police’s Stewart Copeland babbling about how great Guitar Hero: World Tour’s drumset is. This can probably confirm that all of these bands will be featured in the game. It’s also revealed that the set will be sensitive to velocity, meaning how hard you hit the pads on the wireless drumset will determine how loud the volume will be in the game.

Let’s face it, there’s a ton of skins out there for your consoles and electronics that are extremely ugly, bulky, and cliche. I’ve tried several skins in the past, but I was never satisfied with any of them. Then I found a product called GelaSkins. Out of all of the lame skull, flame, and flaming skull designs the market carries, finally, I found something worth checking out.

The first screenshots of the upcoming PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 Prince of Persia game have been released, and it’s looking great. As previously speculated and then confirmed, it’s cel-shaded, and these pictures show that they’ve done a great job giving it a nice, crisp, unique look. If I didn’t know otherwise I would think some of these were concept art (the last one is anyway), and it’ll be interesting to see how everything looks in motion.

Here it is, the video that everyone who’s anyone has been waiting for, the debut video for Guitar Hero World Tour (also previously known as Guitar Hero IV)! The video shows players rocking out on the guitar, bass, drums and microphone, something that Rock Band aficionados will be quite familiar with. However, with the game boasting the biggest track list ever as well as the ability to create and share your own songs with other players, Rock Band might be a thing of the past!
