Game Trailer: Transformers: The War for Cybertron

Here’s a sneak peek at the forthcoming action-adventure game based on the Transformers franchise, which is due out at some point in 2010.

Games: Avoider

There’s a strange man wearing an orange snuggy, and he wants your mouse pointer. Who is he? What drives him to do the things he does?

Game On: New Left 4 Dead 2 trailer ‘leaked’ online!

Showcasing the four new survivors, some of the new Infected and the brand of humour we’ve come to expect from the L4D team, this new trailer should go some way toward cooling the anger over the perceived abandonment of the original game, which itself was released just under a year ago.
