Luckly for Geek Native a lovely press release has just delivered a copy of the video. This means we can post one that’s not covered in ads or demands to subscribe to YouTube channels. […]

Eden Eternal
Aeria Games have announced a closed beta test for their latest MMO. Eden Eternal is an anime-style MMO that’s free to play and uses a 3D engine. The game supports the usual trappings; character classes (15), player towns, races (including Frog Men) and a dye system to support character customisation. There was a popular 2D […]
EA enjoying Fox’s Bulletstorm tantrums
“I loved it when Fox News did the lesbian aliens on Mass Effect.” How’s that for a quote? It comes from Frank Gibeau, the boss of EA Games. Here’s the context. We first got a gimpse of Bulletstorm’s marketing tactics with their Halo spoofing Last Call ad. At the time Geek Native asked whether mocking […]
Prototype 2 trailer: Heller Throws Down
Radical Entertainment‘s Prototype was set in New York against the backdrop of a nasty plague known as Blacklight that turned people into monsters and other must-destroy-everything creatures. Our hero was Alex Mercer, powerful, shapeshifting abilities but rather lacking memories of his past. The game was a hit, selling more than 2MM units. It was such […]
F.E.A.R. 3 Ides of March trailer
Beware March 15th and the Ides of March. This is the day made infamous by Julias Caesar an his ex-best friends like Marcus Brutus. In this video Paxton Fettel and Point Man discuss the past. The scary, scary past. You’ll see this is an 18 rated video (though I’d say it’s entirely SFW – Warner […]
Portal 2: Cave Johnson versus Mantis Men army
In 1953 Cave Johnson founded Aperture Science in order to make shower curtains for the American military. After becoming less than sane due a serious dose of mercury poisoning in 1978 he changed direction… the result being man sized quantum tunnels through space (ideal for stopping water spilling out of the shower). Turns out – […]
Transformers: Dark of the Moon game trailer
I can only hope Transformers 3 turns out to be a good movie. My levels of hope for this are not high. I’m not sure either the filmhouse or the directors involved understand what the fans want. The trailer for the game looks better! Why? It seems like a far more straight forward proposition. That’s […]
DC Universe: Tech Mentor storyline trailer
There’s no doubt we’ve seen some fantastic cinematic trailers from DC Universe already. Even the gameplay trailer that featured the usual style of chaostic mass combat MMOs are associated with is worth a watch. Now we’ve a new kind of trailer: the documentary style walkthrough. This video looks at how DC Universe begins if you […]
Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer
This is a rather straight forward but also rather brilliant trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. It’s a bit of a mass catch up that shows scenes and landscapes we’re all familiar with, introduces the Sith, the war and then characters will be familiar with. Despite these introductions this The Old Republic trailer doesn’t […]
NED: The New Era of Fantasy trailer
Joymax’s latest MMORPG was popular at the 2011 Game Developer’s Conference. The game makes the point of not just including monsters to threaten you but enviormental hazards (like this one?) as well. What we have here is the teaser trailer. I very much doubt this is gameplay. The first question, though, is surely – what […]
