This trailer for Lego Indiana Jones 2 is the best game trailer that’s ever been made. I’m not going to add anything else to that.

Dog Days Not Over After All: Kane & Lynch 2

Kane & Lynch are to return soon, as we mentioned yesterday. Not Hitman. Kane & Lynch. And now there’s a couple of viral videos to celebrate this, perhaps capturing something of the more hand-made documentary style. Well, steal a look for yourself. (Do you see? I said “steal a look”, which is a reasonably common phrase for looking at something, but also uses the word “steal” which relates to the nature of Kane & Lynch. It’s a sort of pun.)

When I look deep into your eyes I can see your greatest desires. Don’t be afraid. Ah yes, I see it now. You want three more trailers with in-game content for next year’s Mass Effect 2. Well, hold my hand and join me beneath the jump where I have a little surprise for you.
Gee-o-metric: Proun

I’m not one to leap with joy at news of a new racing game, but when I see a trailer like the one below the joy-leaping muscles begin to clench. Proun, which is a splendid word, is a 3D obstacle-avoiding puzzly racing game set in a bizarre world of geometric shapes. You rotate around a cable, rather than steering, in a gorgeous looking environment. The project by Joost van Dongen is due to be released early next year, and will be freeware, according to IndieGames.
Tether Me To This Game: Just Cause 2 Trailer

As well-read students of gameology will know, and any who’ve asked me for my wisdom will have heard, the two main prongs of good gaming are grappling hooks and double-jumps. Once both those two are in place, you’ve essentially made a perfect game. It’s quite simple. Now, Just Cause 2 doesn’t have double-jumping, but according to this graph I’m imagining it turns out that this factor can be replaced with infinite parachutes, so long as the grappling hook can double as a tether. It’s a complex graph. Evidence for why I’m hopping from one leg to the other in anticipation for this one can be found in my E3 impressions, and indeed in the new trailer, below.
Time Travelling Sideways: Zeit²

I think the Cursor*10-inspired single player co-op is an idea with legs. Of course Flashbang recently proved this with the lovely Time Donkey, and next year will see a slick looking side-scrolling shooter, Zeit² from Brightside Games, play with the idea some more. With the ability to rewind time you can help yourself out as you approach trickier parts of the level. There’s a trailer below.
BioShock Multiplayer: Capture The Sister

There’s new BioShock 2 details – a new multiplayer mode called Capture The Sister. The latest trailer reveals this mode to be a peculiar version of capture the flag, where the flag is a struggling demonic-eyed little girl, fought over by the crazed mutants and giant robots of Rapture. Which is… something tabloid newspapers wouldn’t understand. Get her to one of the escape holes and you score a point for your team.
Protecting The Eggs Of Freedom: Morty Koots

Mordy Koots describes itself as “the world’s first MOGIE (Movie Over Game Integrated Entertainment)”. While I don’t believe for a second that it’s the first, it’s possibly the first to be done with the support of a broadcast network. It’s an Australian project by brothers Shane and Clayton Jacobson along with producer Jim Shomos, about an overweight, brash World War II pilot who sounds fresh from New York. The reason we’re mentioning it? The action is greenscreened onto footage created in Heroes Over Europe and Blazing Angels.
Jumpy Stabby: Assassin’s Creed II Footage

A few new bits and pieces on Assassin’s Creed have appeared, partly in the form of a preview by GameTrailers, and partly in an architecture video from German site Gamerglotze.de. You can see both of them below, learning a bit more about the background behind the new central character and his motivations, and see a lot more of the city that you’ll be clambering all over.
Drunk & Disdwarvely: New Dragon Age Trailer

First of all, I’m very sorry for the headline. Moving on. The Dragon Age trailers, they will not stop. The latest is the reveal of the Dwarven potential party member Oghren, a fighter who can join your gang. As you’ll see in the trailer below, he’s brash, rude, and partial to the odd drink or seven, and at odds with the political state of his home city of Orzammar.
