The Moneysaver: Skyrim Legendary, Dark Arisen, Dark Souls, Metropolis

I used to pay full price, but then full price took a Moneysaver arrow to the knee. Skyrim’s Legendary package, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, and Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition headline today’s Moneysaver, literally and figuratively. We’ve had a lot of One-Shots in the past couple days, so dig in to those to grab…

Watch Dracula Brood and Kick Ass In This Lords of Shadow 2 Trailer

Here’s the trailer for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. The game picks up from the epilogue in Lords of Shadow, only with a darker story in a modern day setting. The main character is Dracula, and despite the setting, you’ll still be able to see his castle. The game will have a demo at E3.

Reacting to criticism for releasing a trailer on the anniversary of D-Day about an alternate history where the Nazis won World War II, Wolfenstein publisher Bethesda says the timing was “pure coincidence.”

David Hayter Snipes At Konami On Twitter

Wow! I guess David Hayter is really upset he won’t be returning to the role of Snake for the next Metal Gear Solid game. Or maybe he’s still participating in a long con with MGS creator Hideo Kojima? Check out what he just tweeted: New Coke, of course, was Coca-Cola’s failed attempt to change the…

My first hands-on session with Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and its interesting new combat system was, fittingly, lightning quick.

The Epic, Full-Frontal Movie Trailer Saints Row IV Doesn’t Deserve

Man, that YouTube thumbnail has totally distracted me from whatever it was I was going to say about this. Oh yes! Pixelated presidential penis aside, this is the trailer for a game I wouldn’t need to be coerced into purchasing with a shiny plastic Dubstep Gun. With some fancy editing and the right voice actors…

New Wolfenstein Trailer Shows Nazis in the White House and on the Moon [UPDATE]

What if the Beatles were Nazis? That’s just one of the questions that live-action+CG+gameplay trailer for theWolfenstein: The New Order reboot brings up. The clip has some fun perverting some of the 20th Century’s best known photographs and shows us that the Nazis’ domination over the rest of the world is pretty all-encompassing. UPDATE: This…

Microsoft Accidentally (?) Advertises PlayStation Game

Microsoft’s Dutch Facebook page, maybe realising E3 was on the horizon, has asked readers/fans if they can recognise the four big games shown in an image.
