Alpha Protocol has been pretty under the radar this year, mostly due to its multiple push-backs, but they released a new trailer today showcasing some of Michael Thorton’s stealthier and hackier moments. I’m going to be straight here and admit that the graphics look a little dated, but that honestly won’t bother me if the game-play is as good as they’ve hinted it might be. I also am a fan of sneaking, and Thorton does plenty of that in the video. Anyway, check it out.

Anyone else notice the completely digital version of Oblivion’s lock-picking system? Also getting a real Hitman vibe from the trailer.  Neither of these comparisons is bad!  The game hits June 1st (probably).

Dead Space was an incredible experience. I can say that with absolute certainty. The game took the familiar survival horror concept to unparalleled levels. It ought to go without saying, but I’ll make it clear anyway — I am super stoked about Dead Space 2. Check out this new trailer EA has released.

Those of you who are fans of the sport of mixed martial arts or who are simply video game news junkies are probably well aware of last year’s events surrounding MMA being brought to video games for the first time.  But for those of you who aren’t, to put it simply, THQ was first on board (with last year’s UFC Undisputed 2009), and EA is playing “catch-up” this year with EA Sports MMA, releasing late 2010.

Unlike THQ’s game, which focuses exclusively on the UFC league’s fighters, EA’s title will include favorites from other venues, such as Strikeforce.

Check out the recently released gameplay trailer below for some insight on the action.

For those who missed out on last night’s GameTrailers TV, here’s the MLB 10 The Show Debut Trailer. Nothing really special but it does show some in-game footage that we haven’t seen much of so far. It definitely gets you pumped and ready for the upcoming release in 3 weeks but I would have liked to see more actual gameplay. Enjoy the trailer courtesy of GameTrailers and remember to check back with us as we’ll have a little preview of the online leagues and the Real Time Presentation that is new to this year’s title.

Perhaps, because it is a game about a mystery writer whose horrors come to life ala the pages of a Stephen King novel, it is only fitting that the game has long been shrouded in mystery.

Today, a bit more of the curtain was pulled back, as a new trailer was revealed for X10, along with more details about the sweet special edition.  The only downside?  It’s 360-exclusive, meaning those of you without one are either out of luck, or better put in your orders pretty darn quick to prevent yourselves from missing out on what could possibly be one of the best games of 2010.

If you’re looking forward to the Ultimate Edition of Zeno Clash for XBLA, then you’ll enjoy this video, which shows off the new attacks found in this updated version.

“Initially, ACE Team had offered to demonstrate the new moves in Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition in person for the Atlus staff,” chuckled a grimacing Aram Jabbari, Manager of Public Relations and Sales for Atlus.  “We all thought they were kidding when they talked about cool-sounding moves like the ‘headbutt’ and ’spin kick.’  After a week in the hospital, I’m happy to say that fans can expect to find those and equally punishing new attacks in Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition, and that the moves deliver the same satisfyingly visceral feel as all the other injury-inducing first-person melee combat Zeno Clash has to offer.  In other good news, the doctor says the swelling on my head will go away in about a month or so.”

For more info on the game, which is set to release March 30, 2010, exclusively for XBox Live Arcade, check out http://www.zenoclash.com, or scroll down for an ACE Team roundtable interview, discussing frequently asked questions about the upcoming title.

Do you love games like Silent Hill?  Have you always thought to yourself, “Gee, it’d be really swell if I could play as a character with an imaginary friend?”  Do you own an Xbox 360?  If those last three sentences describe you, then you’re in luck, because Marvelous Entertainment’s upcoming 360-exclusive horror game is right up your alley.

I know what you’re probably thinking: Dear, God!  Not another Transformers game! But still your heart: unlike the other recently released Transformers titles, this one is not based on a movie, and the developer, High Moon Studios, is doing what they can to do the fans the service they’ve been waiting for.  The goal is to be like Batman: Arkham Aslyum was in 2009, only doing for the Transformers franchise what that game did for Batman (and all comic book games, by extension).  We’ll have to wait until June 22 to find out for sure, but for now, check out the new trailer to whet your appetite.

I know it’s only been a few hours since our recently detailed info went up about Dragon Age’s upcoming epic $40 expansion pack. Just when I thought the way of the expansion was becoming an endangered species, too, with the way DLC has become the new industry way to roll. But alas, BioWare has sent us an official trailer of the Awakening expansion, set for March 16, 2010. It takes place in a post-blight setting, where you must rebuild the Grey Wardens now that the Archdemon has been slain. Darkspawn got you down? Well, it seems like things will be explained in this upcoming expansion.

Also worth mentioning, I am currently reading the recently released Dragon Age prequel novel, The Calling, in which (judging by this new trailer) several characters, such as The Architect darkspawn, and plot points are linked heavily back to what is being revealed thus far for the expansion pack. Check out the trailer below! Doesn’t it just get your blood boiling?

As the January 19, 2010 release date creeps (or perhaps I should say soars?) ever closer, those of us who’ll still have some jingle in our wallets are chomping at the bit to get our hands on Capcom’s innovative new action game, Dark Void.

To help make the wait a bit more bearable, Capcom has released a “final” cinematic trailer.  Prepare to be wowed and to continue wishing that someone would invent a real jetpack.  Hit the break for the new trailer.

Yesterday marked the beginning of the release of official Divinity II-Ego Draconis series of gameplay trailers. CDV Entertainment begin the series of vignettes with a stunning look at the “Dragon Slayer.”

“Dragon Slayer” is the first in a series of nine trailers that will be released periodically up to the game’s release on January 5, 2010 on PC and Xbox 360. Upcoming vignettes will show more gameplay, creature creation, the Battle Tower, and the arch-nemesis, Damien.

Can you believe that the shrouded mysteries around Final Fantasy XIII are finally drawing to a close? After it finally releases in Japan next month, you’ll have to tread lightly to avoid all the spoilers the Japanese players will be posting around forums with those ever-so-tempting to click Spoiler tags. And it always happens… I failed the Avoid the Spoilers test when it came to Persona 4, it’s just so hard to wait! While there is still a conjoined community for FFXIII in what we know about the game, I’d like to share a new trailer in which the music playing over the battle scenes about halfway through the trailer is simply gorgeous and the enemies are simply humongous.
