If only trailers could always be of the caliber portrayed on Bioware’s Dragon Age site.   As they have produced a spoof trailer which essentially features live-action-roleplaying.   While the game in its’ own right is extremely promising the spoof trailer linked after the jump is worth at least a watch as it’s the sort of thing that’s ‘awful’ enough that much humor can be found.  Hit the jump for the rest of the article and follow the link to check it out especially if you have ever enjoyed watching ‘C’ movies or otherwise.

Omigodomigomigodomigod! *ahem*…So, anybody a Mass Effect fan? I mean, I dabble. Played through it once or twice…then 18 more times. Oh lordy, I’ve got the sickness!

To celebrate how far behind I am in the news cycle, behold the trailer for Ultimate Alliance 2! If you’re like me, you’ve been waiting for this game since the end of the first one. Anyway, just a little quick post for now. Expect some meatier bits later.

Tomorrow night starts the final episodes of the epic science fiction series, Battlestar Galactica. (Technically a remake of an old show from 1978, but that sucked so hardcore, its hardly worth mentioning.)  4 years have led us up to this moment. Thanks to the shitty internet of Europe, I get to enjoy this masterpiece on YouTube. But for the rest of you, glue yourselves to the Sci Fi channel at 10/9c, and prepare to have your minds blown.

Never seen the series? (You fail.) Redeem yourself!
A highly entertaining recap of the first three seasons.
YOU WILL BE SPOILED.

Whoa. Mirror’s Edge just climbed up a few spots on the holiday must-have list. Footage of the time trial mode would’ve been enough by itself, but seeing Sebastien Foucan fly around Stockholm adds that extra little flair. Astute viewers will recognize Sebastien from the free-running chase at the beginning of Casino Royale, which I blame for any bone I may break in the future whilst trying to be a ninja.

Ahem…anyway, Mirror’s Edge comes out November 13th for the 360 and PS3.

Here it is, PS3 and 360 owners! The trailer you can lord all over your friends who only have a Wii! Admittedly, this trailer is extremely light on gameplay footage, but it sure is colorful (yeah, take that, Gears of War 2)! Loved that “only for Playstation 3…in Japan” bit at the end. Of course, all 14 Xbox 360 owners in Japan are probably crying into their life-size Kasumi pillows right about now, hoping that Infinite Undiscovery will fill that gaping RPG whole in their lives.

This is the first trailer footage that we’ve seen of the next installment in the insanely successful Call of Duty franchise, Call of Duty: World at War. While the fourth game in the series, developed by Infinity Ward, did incredibly well, this next game is going back to Call of Duty’s roots with developer Treyarch, creator of the extreme let-down Call of Duty 3. The trailer, however, looks pretty enough and features enough explosions, gun-downs and flamethrowers to make any FPS fan’s pants tighter. Let’s just hope that Treyarch stays true to the fundamental gameplay elements that made Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare so great.

On another note, I said “Call of Duty” five times in four sentences. I didn’t think it could be done. Mom always said I was special.

Valve has just released a new trailer for another character, The Sniper, in their Team Fortress 2 “Meet the..” series. That these two-minute-long trailers provide more personality than most games with full-fledged storylines is certainly a testament to TF2’s character design. I wish I had an Australian accent.

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.

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.
