A Somber, but Beautiful Trailer About Tanks, Planes, Gunships and War
Gaijin’s military combat MMO War Thunder is here to talk to us about the horrors of war—though the all-caps “Ready for Next Gen?” message at the end kinda breaks the mood a bit. Still, whether you care for the game or not, this is a damn great trailer and it deserves at least one look.…

The Mario Bros. Have Some Pretty Damn Sweet Parkour Moves
Which shouldn’t be surprising, seeing as they’ve starred in a metric ton of platformers but hey, video proof! In reality, the two extremely talented people you see here are Christian Russell as Mario and Ronnie Shalvis as Luigi, of CBR Stunts and Ronnie Street Stunts, respectively—although I’d suspect their normal line of work doesn’t have…

Part 3 of the World’s Best Half-Life 2 Movie Is In The Works, But…

Released in 2009 and getting a second part two years later, Escape from City 17 was an excellent Half-Life 2 fan film notable for its nearly blockbuster-level CG effects. Ironically, it is the CG effects themselves that are keeping Part 3 from being released. But have no fear—there’s…

Assassin’s Creed IV’s “Stealth” trailer sure does involve a lot of murder. And it’s not just stealthy murder, either. Semantics aside, I’m really looking forward to neck-stabbing some bad guys in the jungle. Even if I won’t have the kick-ass music. Did I mention there’s kick-ass music? Have a look above.
