Perhaps as a response to all the attention being paid to Microsoft this week (damn them and their dedicated games conference!) Sony has launched a mesmerising new God Of War III trailer for you to drool over. It's got plenty of gameplay, some set piece sneak peaks and lots of angry voice over from Kratos himself. Best bit is probably at the end though. "PS3, It only does Vengeance." Check out the trailer after the jump.

Bethesda has released the very first glimpse of Fallout: New Vegas, the brand new RPG to be published by the makers of Fallout 3 and developed by Obsidian, who's members include creators of Fallout 2, Knights Of The Old Republic 2 and Sega's upcoming Alpha Protocol. We first heard about Fallout: New Vegas last year at a Bethesda press event in London, but now you can see it for yourself here.

This here Lost Planet 2 trailer comes in two halves. It starts off in a desert setting, where a bunch of Fallout/Borderlands type raiders on hover-scooters attack a huge ship, before an even huger spider-beast shows up and then there are lots of explosions. The second half is a different environment. Somewhere dark and underground where there are yet more big mechanoids and monsters. Then the action does relent briefly for some men in silly looking helmets to have a chat. That’s pretty exciting in itself though....

Here comes a new challenger! A new challenger for the title of Worst Movie Based On A Beat-‘em-Up Franchise Ever. Street Fighter, as in the one starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, has been champion in this particular arena since 1994, and it’s about time the Tekken movie came along and knocked it off the top (or maybe it’s the bottom) just like the Tekken game did, also in 1994, when everyone went “It’s 3D so it must be better ...

Someone in Japan has posted a live feed of themselves playing Final Fantasy XIII, which obviously may contain spoilers, but is also a novel way of taking a sneaky peak if you just can’t resist.

Green Day has become the latest band to be honoured with their very own music game, with MTV Games having snagged exclusive rights for the Rock Band franchise. In this trailer we get a look at the Rock Band versions of Green Day in their stylish, contemporary guise, but we hope the game follows the Beatles template and charts the bands rise from snotty underground oiks to stadium-hopping megastars without skipping over the slightly messy “fat Elvis” period in between. ...

Arkham Asylum 2? They're mad. While we're excited to hear that Rocksteady is going to make another Batman game, we're a little confused as to why it has to be called Arkham Asylum 2. A case for changing the name later on in development we think. Anyway, this debut trailer shows us that the Joker is alive, slightly unwell and clearly up to more mischief as his goons roam the streets and drive around in bumper cars.

It was no surprise when EA announced it was rebooting Medal Of Honor into a modern setting a few weeks back and it’s now no surprise to see that the debut trailer looks more than a little bit like a Modern Warfare trailer, sitting somewhere between the gritty drama of Call Of Duty 4 and the blockbuster action of Modern Warfare 2, only with a lead character who sports a huge beard. It might have a familiar feel to it, but that doesn’t stop it from looking pretty damn good ...

We got our first glimpse of Ubisoft's latest Prince Of Persia title The Forgotten Sands this weekend at the VGAs and the reception to it has been mixed. Forgotten Sands is clearly making a move back to the last run of games that began with Sands Of Time, pasting over this generation's Prince title. We doubt that is any true reflection of Ubisoft Montreal's efforts last year; rather it is an admittance that the old style games fit more comfortably with the upcoming Hollywood adaptation starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

Sony Computer Entertainment America has produced this mini-documentary featuring interviews with the three top guys in its music production department. The two main points of discussion are Uncharted 2 and God Of War III, and it’s interesting to hear how much thought, cost and effort goes into the soundtracking of a triple-A game these days. Things have certainly come on along way from Manic Miner’s endless stuttering rendition of In The Hall Of The Mountain King....

We've had our eye on Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption for a while now and marked it up with the Play Sharpie as ONE TO WATCH. We first saw the game back in the summer and it was looking pretty special back then – wide open vistas, intense shoot outs and the kind of style that only Rockstar can give a game. We're even prepared to go out on a limb here and say that it's going to be the best Western videogame ever made. Okay, the competition isn't exactly that ...

Gundam games aren’t very popular outside of Japan, because the Mobile Suit Gundam anime isn’t very popular outside Japan, because cartoons about robots aren’t very popular outside of Japan. However, when you get a bunch of geeks to build their own robots in their own garden sheds using bits of their own wives’ old washing machines and then pit those robots against each other in fights to the death on television, then you get Robot Wars, a very popular TV series in both the US and UK between 1994 and ...

"Mr. Lumbergh told me to talk to payroll and then payroll told me to talk to Mr. Lumbergh and I still haven't received my paycheck and he took my stapler and he never brought it back and then they moved my desk to storage room B and there was garbage on it..."

Sony has released a new trailer for the next Play, Create, Share title, ModNation Racers. This one shows how you start off with a plain, white blobby humanoid shape and gradually stick stuff on ‘til you have your very own unique ModNation race driver, who then just needs a custom-built kart to be ready to race. It doesn’t look like there’s quite as much freedom to create as there is in LittleBigPlanet, but it still looks like fun....

Here's a video from last night's MW2 launch festivities in London:

Either the voiceover actor on this new trailer of Vigil Games’ epic chop-‘em-up has one of those nasty colds that’s been going ‘round lately, or he’s supposed to sound like a demon. We think it’s actually probably the latter, although he does sound uncannily like the way Play news editor Jon did on the phone last week when he called in sick. Watch the trailer for yourself and see what you think.
