Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land Spike TV’s video game exclusive packed weekly video game show, GameTrailers TV, is getting a slightly more sane time slot and giving you some weekly Geoff Keighley face time an entire day earlier.
This Friday’s episode of GameTrailers TV promises us a look at two highly anticipated downloads for both Grand Theft Auto IV and Left 4 Dead, including exclusive footage of “what’s next” for the latter.
God of War 3 will use a custom game engine that delivers four times the texture resolution of its predecessor, Sony Computer Entertainment said in a release today.
Sure a lot of the bigger news and even some winners were spilled earlier today, but Jack Black is plenty of reason to tune in to watch the second half of Spike TV’s Video Game Awards.
The New York Times has an interesting, albeit meandering, look at this Sunday’s Video Game Awards show in their Media and Advertising section today.
Gone are the sunny environs of Uncharted. Uncharted 2, from what we can guess after watching this exceptionally short teaser, will feature more snow than sun and sand. Is that some sort of Aztec sacrificial knife? We’re told we will be seeing more of the game during the airing of the upcoming SpikeTV Video Game Awards.
It’s going on six years now that Spike TV has been handing out awards to game developers on television for the year’s best video games and each year, it seems, the show gets just a touch better.
We already knew that the zombies would be playable in certain modes of Valve’s upcoming thrill-shooter Left 4 Dead, but I bet you didn’t know they would be vomiting zombies.
This week’s episode of GameTrailers TV will give us a first look at those playable zombies in Left 4 Dead and yes, you can vomit on someone. THe show will also have the release date for Duke Nukem 3D on XBLA, the premiere of Need for Speed Undercover’s trailer, and a sexy, sexy, but still disturbing Jenny McCarthy scene from Red Alert 3.
The show also includes an interview with Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade. If you listen carefully you can probably hear me knocking during the interview, but they wouldn’t let me in. S’Ok, we got to talk to them next anyway.
I honestly cannot think of a better channel to host a special countdown to the launch of EA’s Madden NFL 09 than good old Spike TV. This is the audience the channel was born to capture. They’ll have Geoff Keighley broadcasting live from the Rosebowl, a performance by Good Charlotte, and a special presentation of the movie Rudy. Of course hardcore East Coast Madden fans will have already left to fill their bellies with beer before waiting in line to get the game at midnight, but perhaps they’ll leave their TVs on at home to help a station out.
