If there’s one thing Capcom loves..it’s crossovers, and this could be the strangest yet. Take a look at the trailer above, announcing some of the PS3′s exclusive content for the upcoming fighter Street Fighter X Tekken. Yep, that’s Pac-Man and the oddest choice of a Mega Man — the original box art Mega Man. Yup, the fat one.

Look, I love Skyrim as much as the next guy, but there’s no denying it would be better with a bit of madness. In the above video, a modder replaced the dragon in the game with a weird half-dragon, half Macho Man Randy Savage creature. Yes, it’s as cool as it sounds, and its good to know that the former World Champion is gone but not forgotten.

Here’s the first video from Capcom Unity that talks about some of the characters to the established characters in Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3. Funny, I just punched guys…

The Elderscrolls V: Skyrim launches next week Friday, and to be honest, Blast couldn’t be more excited. Just take a look at this trailer, which showcases how the game’s original concept art was transformed into the stunning environments you’ll see on 11-11-11. By the way, we’ve got the game in the Blast offices, and will have out review to you as soon as we can.

Harrison Ford is Han Solo. He’s also Indiana Jones, which means he’s pretty much the most awesome man in the world, so it only makes sense that he’d play Uncharted 3, one of the most exciting games of the year. The above video shows the actor experiencing the game for the first time — and it’s kind of awesome.

Shot for a Japanese ad, the video shows Ford playing and reacting to the events of game (fair warning, if you’ve been steering clear of spoilers, you may just want to skip this one). Ford is very impressed with the game, praising it’s cinematic qualities amid more than a fair amount of “wow’s” and “fantastic’s”

We’ve been hearing about Hitman: Absolution, the latest chapter in the long running franchise for some time now, but now thanks to Machinima, we’re getting out first real look at in game footage — 17 minutes of it and damn is it impressive.

Check out the new Bioshock Infinite trailer straight from TGS!

One of our favorite game’s from this year’s E3 was Starhawk. The PS3 exclusive quasi western-space shooter featured an original concept and more importantly was incredibly fun to play.  Now, here’s a new look at one of the game’s cinnematics, which introduces us to Mercenary Emmet Graves.

StarHawk is expected to launch later this year on the PS3.

Rumors of a GoldeneyeHD remake have been swirling since the game was released on Wii last year. Now, thanks to a leaked series of screenshots and a pulled Amazon listing, we may have confirmation.

From Warner:

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment announced that the highly anticipated videogame Batman: Arkham City will step out of the shadows and onto store shelves in October, for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Games for Windows PC and the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system. Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City is the follow-up to the award-winning hit video game Batman: Arkham Asylum™ and delivers an authentic and gritty Batman experience.

Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City — five times larger than the game world in Batman: Arkham Asylum — and the new maximum security “home” for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new, all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.

We here at Blast Magazine really liked L.A. Noire, in fact; we gave it an Editor’s Choice Award. That doesn’t mean we didn’t notice some of it’s…shall we say quirks? Those same quirks that Funny or Die put in their video of L.A. Noire in real life.

Here’s the video of Battlefield 3 running on the PS3 from last night’s Jimmy Fallon. It’s our first non PC look at the game.

Robin Williams is a man who loves The Legend of Zelda. So much so in fact that he named his daughter Zelda. Really.

Nintendo sent over this video of the comedian and his daughter talking about their emotional attachment to the Legend of Zelda series, and most importantly the Ocarina of Time, which re-releases this Sunday on the Nintendo 3DS.

Watch for our review of the new version soon.

Just before we get our hands on the game at next week’s E3, here’s some fresh screens for Ninja Gaiden 3 from this week’s Famitsu.

Here it is folks, your first look at actual gameplay footage of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Our verdict? Yes, please.  Make sure to check back with Blast during E3 for our hands on preview of this year’s most anticipated game.

One of the game’s I’m looking forward to most at this year’s E3 is Bioshock Infinite, and with these images, it’s not hard to see why. Check back with us in two weeks for more on the game.

If you would have asked me a year ago about the often delayed Driver: San Francisco, I would have told you it was going to get canceled. What? It’s got a hokey plot and it never seemed to have a firm release date. But hey, some things change — Ubisoft has announced that the game will release on August 30 in the USA, and I can’t help but feel like the developers are in on the joke that is the plot. See for yourself in this brand new trailer.

John Romero is making a Call of Duty map. It’ll have zombies.  That’s not even the coolest part.

You’ll be able to play as characters from Machete, The Walking Dead, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and A Nightmare on Elm Street. No, really.

Check out the official Xbox.com preview for the new map below, which hits the system on May 3, and PSN (if it ever comes up) and PC sometime this year.

Poor ol’ Chuckie Green. First his daughter was bitten by a zombie and he was blamed for the out break, then he was forced to share the spotlight with Frank West, the hero from the original Dead Rising and now it looks like he’s being written out altogether.

Today, Capcom announced Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, a re-imagining of sorts of last year’s zombie action title. What exactly is being re-imagined? The game follows the same events of last year’s game, but as if they happened to Frank West (he’s covered wars you know). Set for release this fall, Off the Record also employs new areas, psychopaths and combo weapons, and of course — a camera.

“Frank’s come back means the return of his trusty camera, with players able to earn Prestige Points (PP) for specific photo opportunities that are graded against criteria such as horror, drama, erotica and brutality,” said the Capcom press release.

According to the release, Off the Record will also feature a slew of improvements under the hood including a more optimized network and better load times.

Here’s the kicker though, the game is going to be fully disc based, and a digital version for those who bought the original is not planned.

Look, I liked Dead Rising 2 as much as the next guy, heck, I even gave it a solid B rating, but did I like it enough to buy it all over again? I’m not sure. I hope I’m wrong, but check out the debut trailer below anyways.

Check out this Street Fighter II scene from last night’s episode of Family Guy. Now excuse me while I go load up my SNES.

We expect to hear more about Forza 4 at this year’s E3, where Blast will of course be bringing you all the latest news and hands on previews. Check out the video below!

Oh, and in case you haven’t figured it out yet, there’s some mature content in the video.

Well that was unexpected. This morning, Rockstar tweeted two new Max Payne 3 screenshots, and the words “He’s coming.” Looks like we’re getting a reveal soon.

These are the first new screenshots in almost two years. When the game was unveiled in 2009, series die hards weren’t too happy with the new, balder, fatter and…beardier…version of the noir detective. Do these screens show Payne with hair?

Stick with Blast for more information on Max Payne 3.
