To kick things off i have some trailers for you to cast your eyes over so enjoy them and don’t forget to keep checking back.

First off is Dead Rising Chop Till you Drop on the Wii

Halo 3 Recon trailer

No More Heroes 2 Trailer

New Resident Evil 5 Trailer

I will have much more stuff for you so come back soon and check everything out

I just love my trailers i do and you can tell that by the amount i post on here however i will not stop as long as there are good game trailers out there i will put them up here for you to cast your eyes over.

Today i have a teaser trailer (and i mean teaser) for Timespliters 4 (about bloody time).

So enjoy the trailer and tell me what you think.

I know i have been posting a lot of trailers but it’s down to the fact that i haven’t had as much time as i would like however i do promise that this weekend i will have a few things to have a good look at.

So just to pass the time i have 2 trailers for you that couldn’t be any different.

First off is a trailer for some upcoming wii games

And i also have a new co-op trailer for you from Call of Duty World at War.

So enjoy the trailers and don’t forget to check back this weekend for a new post and also the forum is still there for you to chat about anything.

Now a piece of news that i have came across that will make a few people happy including myself is that the fantastic Hogs of War is to get a sequel early next year on the PS2, PC, Wii and DS.

Nothing is known as what to expect in the game but even if it’s just a quater of what the original was like then i will not be putting my Wii down for a long while.

As soon as i find out more news on this i will post it up straight away

I like to think that i know a lot about videogames but there has always been one section that goes over the top of my head and thats the world of mods.
You see i’m not a PC gamer as it has never interested me so i just stick to consoles for playing my videogames and until the PS3 came out the world of mods never even crossed my mind but as soon as Sony’s black console came out and Unreal Tournament 3 was released then the whole world of mods came to console gamers as well and this is where the scary task of learning about mods came into light for me.

I have a friend who also has UT3 and over the last few months he has been talking about how he is able to play levels from other games and even do modes that are not part of the game and this made me want to get UT3 again as the first time i had the game i did’nt know that these kind of things exsited in console games.

So i’m going to dip my feet into the pool of mods to see what all of the fuss is about and to see if my friend is right that this could be a new step for console first person shooters (FPS).

I will post my findings to tell you how i got on and what i thought about the mods i have used.

To me this is going to be a game to look out for as i’ve followed this from the start and i think it looks fantastic and i can’t wait to play it.

So check out the new trailer and tell me what you think.

I have the new Resident Evil trailer for you that was shown off at Leipzig today and while the game is looking fantastic i just wish they would stop teasing us with trailers of this high standard when the game is’nt even coming out until march next year.

So while you are watching this trailer just keep saying to yourself release this game sooner than next year or stop showing us new stuff and making us scream that we have a long time to wait for the full game.

If you remember a little while back i did a review for Ferrari Challenge on the PS3 and i thought it would be a great game for racing fans, well i have even more good news for you then as i have a competition to give away a copy of the game for the PS3 and to enter cannot be easier.
