Did 505 Games just kick off a trailer with the words “Every generation has its heroes”? I’m pretty sure that means we have to take a drink according to the new game reveal drinking game, and since this is Top Gun: Hard Lock title for the Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3, we then have…

First shown during yesterday’s Sony press conference, this is the cinematic E3 trailer for upcoming multiplayer shooter Starhawk. And no, I don’t know why the bad guys stand in a circle and shoot one at a time either.
