Trailers: Kim Swift’s Excellent Trans-dimensional Adventure

Some people call it Quantum Conundrum. As the video above shows, it’s pretty easy to see how Swift’s experience working on Portal has influenced this upcoming downloadable title. I wouldn’t even be surprised to see hidden extras linking the two games; a fluffy GLaDOS, perhaps?

Reactions: Microsoft’s “House Party 2012″ headlined by I Am Alive, Alan Wake

Before we move on to how out of touch Microsoft’s marketing people are (oh, there’s a trailer below that will blow your mind), let us first discuss the game featured in the above video–I Am Alive. The title’s development struggles have been well documented and there’s certainly reason for concern when we stop to consider that it shifted developers mid-development and transformed from a full-fledged retail game to a downloadable title. And that gameplay does look a little rough around the edges in the graphical department. But I can honestly say that Ubisoft Shanghai’s take on the post-apocalypse is one of my most anticipated games of the year. It’s just fundamentally different from nearly every other game on the market today, and in this humble writer’s hopes, has the potential to revolutionize video games’ take on the post-apocalypse in a very positive way. So dude: seriously, just buy it.

Trailers: Shanking never looked so fun!

Well, actually I imagine the process is rather unpleasant for all parties involved, but this gameplay footage of Shank 2 does its darnedest to convince me otherwise. Look for this sequel to 2010′s cooperative brawler to hit XBLA, PSN, and PC at some point in “early 2012.”

Reactions: Alan Wake’s American Nightmare set for Q1 2012

The middle of the first quarter of 2012,” specifically. And if the video below is any indication, then the core gameplay should be a lot more fun than its predecessor.

Reactions: Alan Wake XBLA game, MGS: Rising, and more rumored for the Spike VGAs

It seems like Spike TV’s Video Game Awards are quickly becoming the biggest video game show this side of E3, what with Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, and more getting their official reveals there last year. And if Spike TV executive producer Geoff Keighley’s recent tweets are to be believed (and I see no reason why they shouldn’t be), this year’s show could be just as eventful.

Reactions: A sample platter of tasty release dates, DLC, and miscellaneous goods

The bad news first. For crying out loud! The bad news should be that it is friggin’ IMPOSSIBLE to find lifetime sales figures for Braid on XBLA and Steam, respectively. I suppose that news isn’t so bad for you, but for a guy trying to make a point about the large market Jonathan Blow will be losing by limiting his next game, The Witness, to a PC and iOS release, it’s mildly irritating.

Trailers: Counter Strike: Global Offensive is on the go

Moving too quickly for anyone to stop and question its illogical name! Or its illogical cross-platform play, for that matter; those poor XBLA players won’t have a chance against mouse and keyboard.

Trailers: First look at Grasshopper Manufacture’s Sine Mora

It’s like Crimson Skies, but ridiculously pretty. It’s even better if you mute the video and do away with that awful voice-over. You’ll have a chance to pump this steam-punk world full of lead sometime this winter on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.
