Trailer For “Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox”

The trailer for the latest DC Comics animated film, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, has been released by IGN.

Based loosely on the 2011 Flashpoint storyline by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert, the trailer hints towards a larger presence for the Reverse-Flash, meaning fans of the original comic series can probably expect to see a few surprises when the film debuts.

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is set for a July 30 release, and will be available on Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand, and other digital download formats.

‘Fate of Your Planet’: Latest Trailer For “Man of Steel”

The newest Man of Steel trailer has been released by Warner Bros., and it sheds light on the motivation of Michael Shannon’s General Zod and provides a ton of more action footage.

Opening in a creepy, viral-like fashion, the trailer focuses on why General Zod has traveled to Earth and what will happen if he doesn’t get what he’s after. And what he’s after is Superman, and the fate of mankind rests the hero’s shoulder.

June 14 can’t get here fast enough.

“Forza Motorsport 5” Is Your First Xbox One Launch Game

Turn 10 has been making the stellar Forza series for a decade now, so it seems only natural that it gets a highlight spot at the launch of Microsoft’s next-gen Xbox One.

“Call of Duty: Ghosts” World Premiere Trailer

Eric Hirschberg, CEO of Activision, was live onstage to introduce the first Call of Duty game on the next-gen Xbox One. The final portion of the show was saved to show off the Infinity Ward offering, which follows the remnants of the U.S. Special Forces after the country has been devastated and defeated in war. These forces have banded together to form the “Ghosts.”

Among the high fidelity graphics and lighting, it was revealed that players will be joined by a dog. Players will seem to also have to contend with a number of environmental hazards, including earthquakes and floods.

Batman Meets Bad Guys In The Official “Arkham Origins” Trailer

Remember that teaser for the Batman: Arkham Origins trailer last week? The full trailer has landed — and Batman has moves. This official trailer shows him taking down criminals and escaping an explosion, only to have two villains appear wanting to take him down.

And if just watching villain Deathstroke in action isn’t enough, Warner Bros. has confirmed that Deathstroke will be a playable character in the game’s challenge mode, with special skins and maps for him if you pre-order.

Batman: Arkham Origins comes out for PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U on October 25.

First Peek At The PlayStation 4

Sony released their first exclusive teaser trailer for their upcoming next-gen console. The 39-second teaser flashes bits and pieces of the hardware, but like a true teaser, it’s still difficult to put together a full picture.

An entire reveal of the PlayStation 4 (you’ll actually get to see it this time) will be had at Sony’s press conference at this year’s E3 on June 10.

Is it a coincidence that Sony sent out a teaser a day before Microsoft officially announces their next-gen console? I think not.

Follow Memory Hunter Nilin Through A New “Remember Me” Trailer

And her task is to go after the enemy, the corporation called Memorize that stole her memories in the first place.

Watch the trailer for gameplay footage and shots of the futuristic game setting, Neo Paris. Remember Me will let you rewrite characters’ histories when it comes out June 4 in North American and June 7 in Europe on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

“Batman: Arkham Origins” Teaser Trailer Puts Batman Back In The Fight

It only lasts for a few seconds, but the new Batman: Arkham Origins teaser trailer from Warner Bros. shows some spectacular brawling between Batman and Deathstroke.

It’s definitely enough to make fingers twitch in anticipation. Although the new game is in the hands of Warner Bros. rather than previous Arkham developers Rocksteady, it will feature the same combat mechanics as previous games in the series. And from the look of the trailer, the dark, rainy mood will be prevalent, too.

The full trailer will launch May 20, while the game comes out for PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U on October 25, 2013.

Yes, we know that AC4 features Edward Kenway, grandfather to AC3’s Connor, as a pirate. But what’s the motivation in being one?
