Checkpoint: VGA 2010 Reveals & Teasers

The 2010 Spike VGA show was on last night. I didn’t catch much of it. I caught some chick making TWSS said jokes and Neil Patrick Harris playing with a rooster.

Like many, all I care about are the game trailers teasers and announcements. Thankfully, GameTrailers.com was quick to update their site with the trailers as they were released.

Most of them were CG or lame, so I filtered and picked the noteworthy ones for this post.

These are my top 8:

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception

All three of these games are looking great, but will they play as good as they look?

Checkpoint: Two Down. One To Go Edition

I wrapped up the Gears of War 2 campaign earlier this week. Not to delve into too many details, but Epic Games knows how to make their games shine. I’ll get down to jotting down my thoughts on it a bit later. Meanwhile, you can read up on Resistance 2.

Fallout 3 is still lingering in the shadows; not sure when I will get to that.

As crazy as it sounds, I don’t feel the urge even open the game. There’s still a lot more Gears of War 2 to play and the same goes with Resistance 2. And what about this LittleBigPlanet?! Especially when folks make something like this. Yeah, that game needs love too. I also haven’t mentioned the two PlayStation 2 titles I have waiting in the wings as well.

The res of the year looks relatively calm, but with huge February rush looming overhead — we don’t have much time for dawdling. There is time, however, for a good read. It’s not everyday that you have a Gears of War article from the New York Times.
