After the short week for most folks here in the US, it's already another fine weekend. All manner of video gamey morsels are on the plate for the staff, though the biggest helpings appear to be for Jamestown, F3AR, and Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012. Check the list for proof that using numbers in place of letters in a game's title never really works, since know when remembers how to really spell it.
In this latest video for Rage we find out why the planet has gone to hell, learn some background information about the main character, and see some of the different factions in all their psychotic glory. There's also a lot of visceral combat and 'splosions. Rage looks like is will be right at home with Fallout and Borderlands fans. The post-apocalypse has never looked better.

It's about to get 80's up in here! This new trailer for Toy Soldiers: Cold War is lovingly dipped in some Stallone/Schwarzenegger juices. Wait, that sounded better in my head. Actually, now it sounds worse. Far, far worse. Horrifying, even... I wonder if they'll have a "Rambo" character that looks like John Matrix. I hope so. There's not much else here, other than the Commando dishing out some Cold War pain. Now go watch Over the Top!
Just because they don't have a head doesn't mean they don't have feelings. This is the true story of a Headless Kamikaze named Brett Sanderson and his journey to joining Mental's horde.

One thing every Halo game has had besides kick ass co-op play, is an equally satisfying soundtrack. The Halo theme might be famous, but the entire score for every title stands out on its own as a great pieces of music. The scores created by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori are truly some of my favorite all time game music.
