It’s Ladies Night In These Fable III Screenshots

Gears Of War 3 Screens Give Marcus Time To Check Out The Ladies
Just because Marcus Fenix has a neck of steel doesn’t mean he has a heart of steel. He is a man, and men have feelings. Which he may indulge from time to time, when he’s not busy chainsawing things.

Alice In Chains? Dubai? This Must Be The Spec Ops Trailer
If Spec Ops: The Line was a movie instead of a game, and had released this trailer in 1994 instead of 2010, with all that slo-mo and Alice in Chains, it would be just about the most awesome thing ever Since it’s not, though, we have to take it for what it is: a shooter…

Final Fantasy XIV, The E3 Trailer
Square Enix, don’t you ever change. Don’t change your trailers, either. You could blindfold me, punch me in the ear then hold me underwater and I’d still know this was Final Fantasy XIV, just from the soundtrack. Click to view
