Dead Space 2 and EA’s Epic shooter slated for early 2011

EA’s tentative release schedule for Q4 of its fiscal 2011 (or, as us normal people call it, January-March 2011) contains more than a few intriguing entries. You already heard about the new Dragon Age game — but listed just below that is an untitled “Shooter from Epic TBA.” Of course, this can only mean one [...]

Latest Red Dead Redemption screens sneak up and take us out

Alright, alright, not really — they’re just screenshots, folks! But these four new screens do most assuredly feature Red Dead Redemption‘s main hero (and his buddy Marshall Johnson) sneaking up on a variety of old West bad guys to, presumably, take them out — the folks at Rockstar claim that these shots are about “taking [...]

Newest Aliens vs. Predator trailer explores the title’s heritage

Rather than getting on Steam and playing gobs of classic Aliens vs. Predator leading up to the game’s almost assured (though still “unconfirmed“) February launch, wouldn’t you rather spend the next three-ish minutes watching the folks at Rebellion speak about the history behind both games’ development? We knew you’d see it our way! Regardless, the [...]

Left 4 Dead 2′s Versus mode getting bots, auto-spawn tweaks

Question: What’s the only thing scarier than a looming horde of normal-speed zombies? Answer: A looming horde of normal-speed zombies with robot brains.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising trailer is all about running, gunning

Here at Joystiq, we take our duty to cover teh vidya gamez seriously, but one of our lesser jobs goes unnoticed. While we do our best to bring you the scoops and news you want, we also kind of see ourselves as paternal figures for these budding new titles. We coach games along through previews [...]

Second Borderlands mockumentary episode has Claptrap flapping his trap some more

The Borderlands mockumentary, starring foul-mouthed unicycle robot Claptrap, continues telling us the untrue story and unreal problems behind the creation of the game. Steering clear of a full-blown Christian Bale freakout like the first video, this one goes more for that Hollywood name-dropping meets The Office feel. The whole thing concludes with an appearance by [...]
