EA has released the first trailer for upcoming third-person shooter Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel and, this is a total shot in the dark, it would seem as if something has gone terribly wrong in Mexico.

Killzone coming to Vita doesn’t surprise anybody but it’s still great to have Sony finally confirm it at gamescom.
