If you’ve always wanted to a visual tour of what awaits you in Square Enix’s upcoming open-world title, then this Sleeping Dogs 101 trailer is for you.

The video features actual in-game footage, so not only does it provide you with a guide of all the game’s features and story, but it also teases all the fun you will have once the game launches August 14. Our preview with the game’s producer highlights many of the game’s features showcased in the trailer, so if you want to know how the game feels, give a read.

For a more visual treat, check some new screenshots of the game below.

Kinect games have taught us to dance and to move our hands in the air like inflatable arm flailing tube men, but can they teach us the fluid and precise art of kung fu? Indie developer Kinesthetic Games thinks we can, and its upcoming game Kung Fu Superstar hopes to make us feel like action movie stars too.

Kung Fu Superstar follows the story of Danny Cheng, an up-and-coming martial artist, as he rises through the ranks of fame and stardom. “Aided by his trusted Sifu, Danny will discover the secrets of kung fu and become the most popular martial arts stuntman Hollywood has ever known.”

Using the Kinect, players will use their whole bodies to perform kung fu moves on-screen and take down various different opponents in distinct sets and environments. Past self-defense Kinect games like Ubisoft’s Training Camp just felt awkward because there isn’t another opponent in the same room as you, so it will be interesting to see how Kung Fu Superstar teaches you martial arts and also makes a game out of it without feeling too diluted in asynchronous motion controls. Not only that, but let’s hope the Kinect sensor can keep up with our lightning-fast reflexes.

Kinesthetic Games was founded by former Lionhead developer Kostas Zarifis and is made up of employees from other gaming studios including Codemasters, EA, and Climax.

Kung Fu Superstar is currently being marketed for just the Kinect, but its trailer also contains tags for Wii and PlayStation 3, so it looks like the game may be released on multiple platforms. With Jackie Chan having announced his retirement from the action film scene, who knows if this game will give us the next martial arts superstar.

Released back in 1967, Moonraker saw James Bond heading into outer space to foil the plans of a mad terrorist bent on poisoning the world. Fans of the film can now relive those moments including the many battles with Hugo Drax’s henchmen in the upcoming 007 Legends video game.

Releasing on October 16 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, 007 Legends will intertwine six separate Bond movies together into one game. Sticking true to tradition, the game will feature classic Bond gadgets, espionage missions, and an assortment of sleek vehicles and weapons.

Skyfall, the upcoming James Bond film out this November, is the other film revealed to be featured in the game, so that just leaves four more spots open.

Heroes of Ruin impressed us with its mission-based gameplay at PAX East last month, but the game is also coming with some features that are not too common on the 3DS including voice chat and a fluid drop-in-drop-out campaign mode.

This bustling RPG encourages players to play it with others and will come with daily Spot Pass challenges, Street Pass item trading, and other features that will make you reconsider playing it solo. Check out our preview to learn more about the game and watch the trailer below to see some of these multiplayer features in action.

Ubisoft may be releasing Ghost Recon: Future Soldier on May 22, but if you’re someone who likes to get to know your characters on a more personal level, even those in FPS titles, you may want to check out Ghost Recon: Alpha, a short film that serves as a prequel to the game.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Alpha is a 25-minute film that follows the game’s four protagonists as they are dropped deep behind enemy lines after an attack on a European city. The plot plays an important role in the game and the film’s soldiers are the four protagonists you’ll play as in the game. There is also a special code in the film that gives access to an exclusive weapon in Future Soldier. The full film can be viewed below.

Made up of former employees from companies such as Harmonix, Irrational Games, and Iron Lore, Eeerie-Canal Entertainment is a Boston-based independent studio whose goal is to make creative and inspired games that are too risky for large studios.

Well into the development of its first title, the team today released the teaser trailer for Dreadline, a game that turns the tables on typical monster huntings and has you controlling a group of creatures that visit humans right before they face certain calamities. The trailer shows off the game’s Titanic level that involves harvesting the luxury liner’s passengers before they face their inevitable doom.

Eerie-Canal plans to release Dreadline on PC. Considering how well versed its employees are at making console titles, let’s hope the team gives us more platform options in the future.

Behold the Asassin’s Creed III world premier trailer (also known as Ubisoft’s way of thanking everyone for gratuitously publicizing its upcoming game!)

As you can see in the trailer, Connor, the game’s new protagonist, is much like his sneaky ancestors, effectively mixing speed with dexterity and attacking his targets when they least expect it. The game will feature an improved movement system, letting Connor flow into battle and unleash a fluid string of attacks one after another. For those who’d like to know more about the game will play out, be sure to read our preview from PAX East.

Assassin’s Creed III hits consoles and PC on October 30.

You might already like Assassin’s Creed III, perhaps you even love it by now, but Ubisoft’s latest marketing campaign wants you to officially announce it to the world (or your Facebook and Twitter friends, at least.)

Sure, this one minute teaser trailer looks amazing enough already, but if you want more, head on over to the game’s official Facebook page and join others who are on a mission to unlock the entire trailer full of Revolutionary goodness. Share links to it on Facebook; tweet about the game on Twitter. Everything you do online that involves Assassin’s Creed III will add to Ubisoft’s goal of 1,776,000 tweets, posts, and shares and will unlock the world gameplay premier of the game. Why that number? 1776 is when the Declaration of Independence was signed, of course.

The Unite to Unlock campaign has already started, and while Ubisoft could have simply unveiled the trailer like very other publisher usually does, this brings fans together and also lets them become video game marketing professionals.

Assassin’s Creed III will release on October 30.

Have you met Agent 47? If you’ve been a fan of his games, you might heard of the guy. He’s regarded by many as the world’s deadliest assassin, and this new trailer of Hitman: Absolution will showcase how skillful he truly is.

The trailer was created entirely from original gameplay moments, and hopes to show off  the richness, depth and possibilities surrounding the living and breathing world of the game. Each choice you make can truly change your gaming experience, so whether you play as a stealth ninja or a ruthless killer, you’ll be sure to learn why Agent 47 looks so angry.

A leaked trailer for the Wii U version of Rayman Legends has made its way onto the internet. The trailer not only reveals the game’s upcoming features but also gives us a glimpse at the new technology being implemented with the Wii U and its tablet controller.

The lush trailer shows that Rayman Legends will have legendary settings, new playable characters, social gaming, and online multiplayer. Four players are seen playing the game together and one of them uses the tablet to play along. Because her tablet shows off the same thing her friends are seeing on their television, the items she taps and moves around affect them too.

The trailer also shows off the Near Field Communication features Satoru Iwata announced back in January that are being implemented for Wii U. One of the players in the trailer is seen placing a heart onto the tablet, which causes it to light up and makes hearts appear in her game. Another player places a Raving Rabbid figurine on his tablet, and they get transported into his game too. The very last scene hints at future Ubisoft cameos or even new characters when a player is seen reaching out for a figurine of Ezio Auditore.

Update: Ubisoft released as a statement to VG247 confirming the game, but states that the video “was intended as a purely internal demonstrative video, and in NO way represents the final game, the final console, or their features.

“The video was destined for internal production teams who often create game prototypes with work in progress development kits.”

As you might have read from our preview from PAX East, Mario Tennis Open looks likes it will be the most robust installment the series has seen. Featuring classic modes like tournaments and exhibitions, Open plays like a great game of tennis, but the addition of mini-games, character customization, and online matches makes this a 3DS title definitely worth looking out for.

A new trailer was recently released showing off the game’s Customization mode that lets you dress up your Miis with over 200 items and equipment that changes the way they play. You can make your Miis match the skills of the available characters by giving them shirts and hats resembling them (or even full costumes,) or you can mix and match outfits to create your own unique player.

The Japanese website for the game also just launched featuring videos of all the available characters and the different modes. Even if you don’t know Japanese, be sure to check out videos of your favorite characters in action and get a sneak peek at the various courts too.

Mario Tennis Open comes out May 20.

Today Turbine released the first in a series of videos that will take players behind the scenes into the making of Menace of the Underdark, the upcoming and first-ever expansion for Dungeons & Dragons: Online.

Menace of the Underdark starts right where “Update 13: Web of Chaos” ends. Players will be able to explore new worlds while they fend off the Spider Queen Lolth and her army of enemies. The new worlds include the gloomy Demonweb Pits, the Underdark, and the expansive world of Faerun.

Also included with the expansion is the premium character class: the Druid, which lets players transform into three beasts and level up their powers even further. In addition, new monsters like dragons will make their appearance in the game as will new abilities and an extended level cap of 25. If you pre-order the game, you’ll also get access to some goodies like creature companions.

Look for the Menace of the Underdark expansion when it launches on June 25.

The first teaser trailer for the upcoming, and final, installment of the massively successful Twilight series is online today. It can be viewed here.

The film, starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, is set to hit theaters on November 16.

Max Payne 3 is quickly becoming one of my most anticipated games of the year. Check out this cool behind the scenes look at some of the cool tech going into Rockstar’s latest.

Max Payne 3 comes out for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on May 18.

Here’s a cool video showing how Naughty Dog, the studio behind Uncharted made the debut trailer for their newly revealed PS3 survival game, The Last of Us.

The game is rumored to ship later this year. Fingers crossed.

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.

We’re exactly one month away from the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Check out the new redemption trailer below!

Check out the new Bioshock Infinite trailer straight from TGS!

Thanks to this weekend’s Call of Duty XP event in Los Angeles, we finally have our first real look at Modern Warfare 3′s multiplayer suite. In other words, have a good look at what’s going to take you away from sunlight come this November.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 releases November 8.

LOS ANGELES — Namco Bandai Games and Team Aces released a special E3 2011 trailer for Ace Combat Assault Horizon.

Blast had a chance to get hands-on with the game for a short period of time. It is visually stunning, with great terrain, aircraft detail, and all the arcade action we’ve come to expect from the Ace Combat franchise.

The controls were a bit loose for our liking, but that’s usually something that can be adjusted in the final product.

The game is an arcade flight combat sim, with few bits of realism. You get dozens of missiles, shoot down dozens of aircraft, and fly in ways real aircraft (and pilots) usually can’t withstand. Still, the series is fun, and the trailer is amazing.

“For us, this is a rebirth of our premiere franchise, Ace Combat. It’s a chance for us to take the player in a completely new direction,” said Kazutoki Kono, Producer and Executive Director of Project Aces at Namco Bandai. “I’m confident that we’re creating a new type of intense and visceral action shooting experience with Ace Combat Assault Horizon. We’re utilizing all of our collective vision and skills to deliver a phenomenal game. Players will be closer than ever to the combat, experiencing the impact of each shot fired.”

If dodging skyscrapers and shooting down MIGs are your things, then pick up a copy when it launches for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in mid-October.

Here’s the brand new Gears of War 3 trailer, which aired just minutes ago in Europe and Mexico following the UEFA championships.

NEW YORK — According to the Associated Press, Will Smith was forced to relocate the gigantic trailer on Wednesday when shooting “Men in Black III” since residents of Manhattan’s Soho district had complained that the 53-foot double-decker trailer was extremely taking up too much space in their neighborhood and the trailer was releasing the noise and fumes. That afternoon, Columbia Pictures removed the trailer and the film is still scheduled to continue shooting in the area through Friday.

When New York Post asked Smith about the issue, however, he couldn’t stop laughing and said “It’s hilarious,” the source reported.

A statement from Mayor’s Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting officially stated, “To balance the interests of the production and the neighborhood, we have instructed ‘Men in Black 3’ to relocate the trailer to a private lot.”

I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about a game than I have been about Rockstar and Team Bondi’s L.A. Noire. Due out on May 17 for the PS3 an Xbox 360. Check out the newest trailer above.

Here yo go folks, the first official, non teaser trailer for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, complete with actual in game footage. Try not to salivate too much.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim launches this November.

One of the most impressive game’s we saw at this year’s E3 was Epic, EA and People Can Fly’s Bulletstorm. Check out this trailer with lead writer Rick Remender and producer Tanya Jessen outline the gmae’s story and characters, and check back later this month for our hands on previews and impressions.

“A lie is a lie. Just because they write it down and call it history, doesn’t make it the truth,” reads a nameless narrator in the first full-length trailer for Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

The trailer, composed entirely of gameplay and clocking it at a hefty 1:42, is one impressive feat, serving its purpose of sticking in your mind past the time you spent watching it.

Call of Duty: Black Ops comes to Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Wii November 9, 2010. And we’re expecting some hands-on time with it next month at E3 2010.

Nintendo is primed and ready to vault into your living room, via your television, and bombard you with Disney-esque video montages of the mustached plumber doing his thing in outer space in the company’s latest galaxy-hopping adventure, Super Mario Galaxy 2. This is just the beginning.

Jerry Bruckheimer and Jake Gyllenhaal invade the movie theater later this month with the feature film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, but the week before, Ubisoft will release a next generation Prince of Persia game by the name of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.

Today, the opening cinematic from the game hit the Internet and we’d be remiss not to pass it along, as it is quite fantastic. It combines lots of tease, with enough solid awesomeness to keep us excited for its full retail release May 18, 2010. And if you aren’t content with cinematics alone, look a bit farther down the page for a gameplay trailer.

You can’t play the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta for ever and eternity you know. It lasts only until May 19 and you need to stop to eat, sleep and possibly move your bowels.

Thankfully, Bungie and Microsoft recently released an extended cut of the Birth of a Spartan trailer we saw last week, to fill that time spent away from your Xbox.

The trailer is minutes longer and packed with much emotional weight than that found in the regular trailer.

As if yesterday’s Medal of Honor reboot release date wasn’t enough, this morning Electronic Arts has made the game’s first heart-rending trailer available to the world (yesterday it was available only for EA members).

The game is set in post-9/11 Afghanistan and it follows a team of the United States Military’s most elite squad of fighters. The trailer does an amazing job providing the first inkling of what will likely become a very dramatic affair full of violence, bloodshed and general turmoil and mayhem.

Enough nonsense. Here it is. The “Leave a Message” trailer.

Whatever drama is happening between Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 studio Infinity Ward and publisher Activision is clearly having no effect on Activision’s other annualized developer Treyarch.

Treyarch released a world premier trailer for their latest, Call of Duty: Black Ops early this  morning (while decent people slept) and it’s confusing, it’s dramatic, and it’s wonderful.

Please feel free to speculate and offer insight as to just what we’re seeing, what time-period it’s from, and what you think we can expect from this latest Call of Duty installment.

The upcoming sequel Iron Man 2 is getting a videogame adaptation by the same name and, from today’s prologue trailer, it’s easy to see the cut-scenes will be mighty fine looking.

I couldn’t be more excited about the film sequel, but the game? Yeah, not sure just yet.

Iron Man 2: The Video Game comes to Wii, DS, Xbox 360, PS3, and PSP May 4.

“Dead Rising 2,” one of Capcom’s premier titles at last weekend’s Captivate media event, got its first theatrical trailer today and you should definitely see it.

What’s more, the game will feature 2 player-cooperative play, something the original lacked and something that sounds extremely exciting, the publisher announced today.

Be sure to immerse yourself in more detail at the Capcom blog listing, where new screenshots (like the one below) and gameplay are.

“Dead Rising 2″ comes to PS3 and Xbox 360 August 31.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is shrouded in mystery. We know little and that’s all we know and it’s not a lot.

But today, developer Ubisoft dropped a load on the Internet and released this mind-busting trailer for the game. And the best part? It’s a live-action bad boy, the likes of which we haven’t seen since Halo 3: ODST.

A life in the mob is something I could never do. But then again, I’m not Vito Scaletta.

The trailer has all the right ingredients. Lots of high-res cutscenes to keep you interested, but also a fair amount of gameplay (in the form of shooting, driving and blowing stuff up). What more could we ask for?

Electronic Arts recently released a video walkthrough trailer for the PC version of next week’s “Battlefield: Bad Company 2,” showing off all the reasons why PC gamers have major edges over the console faithful.

The PC version of the game trumps the console iteration in many ways, as the video points out. It has tabbed menus, supports dual monitors, its UI has been built “from the ground up” for mouse navigation and its multiplayer extends to 32 players (24 on the console) and allows for some very slick lighting effects provided you’ve got DirectX11.

Good to see DICE staying true to its PC origins. I’ve always wanted a capable PC gaming rig and might seriously consider it for my next purchase. Prices are coming down(ish), right?
