Here’s “Battlefield 4’s” 17-Minute Reveal Trailer
Since the invitations went out for the official reveal at GDC, the internet has been abuzz with rumors over DICE’s upcoming Battlefield 4. We had screens leak yesterday and now the full 17-minute long gameplay trailer is up in all its glory.
Titled “Fishing in Baku,” the trailer uses only in-game footage and, according to its description, “is the first glimpse of the human, dramatic, and believable single player campaign in Battlefield 4.” Considering the disappointing campaign of Battlefield 3, hopefully DICE can pull together a worthy single player experience this time around.
Battlefield 4 is set for a release in Fall 2013 on PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and probably any other next-gen consoles released this holiday.

Visceral Games did just about everything right two years ago with Dead Space 2, garnering critical success and solid sales. Now fast-forward to 2013 where Dead Space seemed primed to take hold of the horror genre for good after Capcom’s stumbling effort of Resident Evil 6 and Silent Hill becoming a shadow of its former glory.
While Dead Space 3 is another solid effort by Visceral, it fails to capture many of the successes of the previous game due to a number of dramatic design changes that take out most of the delightful scares of the past.

In case you missed the first round of beta testing, Electronic Arts and Maxis are getting ready for SimCity beta2 on February 16. While the first beta test only lasted an hour, this one will run for 24 hours to test the server, with new city-building fun for beta testers to try.

“Dead Space 3’s” New Trailer Will Chill Survival-Horror Fans
[Warning: Possible NSFW language and gore]
EA and Visceral Games’ series Dead Space is currently one of the best survival-horror franchises available, and the new entry, Dead Space 3, looks to add to the increasing legacy of Isaac Clark.
Isaac Clark’s new adventure takes him into an icy planet that’s full of just as much death as the Ichimura ever had, while he continues to battle the Necromorphs that inhabit the dark corridors of space stations. It’s still up for debate whether co-op play will help or harm the upcoming game, but it’s only optional, meaning horror purists can still enjoy the frights by themselves.
Dead Space 3 creeps out on February 5, 2013, on PS3, 360, and PC.

“Dead Space 3” Co-op Gameplay Debut Trailer
Visceral Games debuted their new co-op mode for their survival-horror franchise and gave a bit of a tease at the incoming action against the Necromorphs. In the trailer, Isaac fights against a gigantic spinning drill and gets ingested into an enormous monster.
While it’s really hard to judge how scary the co-op will be, it seems safe to say that it will be best to experience the campaign curled up by yourself in the dark.
Dead Space will be released in February 2013, on PS3, 360, and PC.
