2K Games has been teasing us for a long time with screenshots, developer commentaries and bandanna swag for their newest game Spec Ops: The Line.

This week we get to watch this launch trailer and buy the game when it hits retail.

No longer flying under the radar, developer, Vigil Games’ Darksiders series looks to make a splash this August with the release of Darksiders II. Having already done a tour with War, Darksiders II shifts focus onto his slightly more cantankerous horseman brother, Death.

See the angel of dark and light in action as he stems a tide of demons who’d like nothing better than to have at the flock of church goers cowering inside their doomed sanctuary.

Robb Rinard, the creative director for 2XL Games, posted on the PlayStation Blog earlier today that Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad is coming to PS3 via the PlayStation Store this Tuesday, 26 June at the low, low price of $9.99. Fancy kicking up the dirt on some hairpin turns in a sport buggie?

It’s not the sequel we crave, but Capcom is doing the next best thing by giving us a glorious HD remaster of Ōkami. It will be launching on the PS Store in autumn for $19.99.

It’s the same game that won critical acclaim on the PS2, but it will now feature new smooth HD graphics, a 16:9 aspect ratio, trophies and PS Move support.

You’ve played them, you’ve enjoyed them, you love them, you tirelessly defend them when anyone so much as makes an unpleasant face at the very mention of them. Now you can play Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater as well as the original two MSX games again on the go.

The gold standard of Japanese games in the palm of your hand.

EA’s 2012 E3 showcase was amassed around new iterations of publisher’s biggest and most successful franchises. From relatively new (Crysis 3) to unfrozen from carbonite (SimCity), Electronic Arts CEO, John Riccitiello made it abundantly clear that the publishing giant would indeed focus on strengthening an already proven stable of franchises. Among EA’s prized assets is Dead Space and the forthcoming Dead Space 3.

What wasn’t shown at E3 however was this rather large chunk of Dead Space 3 footage which serves as the first real close-up we’ve seen of the third installment in the survival/horror series. Steve Papoutsis, vice president and general manager of Visceral Games would like to take you on a tour of some of the new aspects you can expect when Dead Space 3 makes its way to store shelves. Including the polarizing addition of 2-player drop-in/drop-out cooperative play.

Top names in the gaming industry lend their voices in what looks to be the definitive Transformers video game ever to collide with our planet. Do battle as both the Autobots and Decepticons during their final battle for their dying home planet while listening to the smooth sound of Peter Cullen’s voice. “Roll out.”

Originally imagined as a visualizer, a living extension of the PixelJunk Eden world, this product was considered too passive for public consumption. That was until January last year when Q-Games got hold of the PS Move controller. They put the device through its paces and came across sorts of creative ideas. Thus beginning the evolution process from a simple visualizer into the game we now know as PixelJunk 4am.

Disney Interactive has officially dated the sequel to 2010′s paint brush-wielding adventure game featuring the world’s most famous mouse. The one and only Mickey Mouse and his pal Oswald have designs on a release before 2012 comes to a close.

Not to be upstaged by Sony and Ubisoft, Electronic Arts has also had a strong showing at this year’s E3, as the likes of Dead Space 3, Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Crysis 3 are sure to excite gamers.

Our only complaint is that all of the games shown were sequels to existing franchises. Everyone loves a good sequel, but it would have been nice to see EA show off some new interlectual property. Well, that or Mirror’s Edge 2.

But we digress; on with the trailers…

It has to said that Ubisoft had a terrific conference at E3. This was partly because it was presented by comedienne Aisha Tyler, but mainly because the company has arguably the strongest lineup of games of all third-party publishers.

With blockbuster titles like Assassin’s Creed III, Far Cry 3, and the newly announced Watch Dogs, Ubisoft fans have a lot to look forward to over the next year and beyond. So, let’s get cracking with the trailers, shall we?

Castlevania was one of my highlights of 2010. It was a fantastic reboot of the series, offering an engrossing story, great voice acting and brilliant combat. So naturally the reveal of Lords of Shadow 2 has me bounding about with joy.

Note: spoilers ahead for those who haven’t finished Lords of Shadow 1.

If you’re at all familiar with iD software you already know their job is not to predict the future of the PS3, instead they plan to be a part of it by releasing Doom 3 BFG Edition. Turn the lights off and crank the sound, this will be one hell of a shootout.

Hot of the heels of Zen Studios’ announcement of KickBeat comes another game from the famed pinball studio titled CastleStorm. Set for a digital distribution release in 2012, CastleStorm combines tower defense warfare with the ability to construct your own castle for use in the battlefield.

Hitman Absolution will be showcased at E3 next week and IO Interactive and Square Enix have teased his upcoming appearance with a new “Attack of the Saints” trailer. Featuring a specialized ICA wetworks team known as ‘The Saints,’ the trailer shows us just why Agent 47 is the original assassin.

Ubisoft has announced details concerning the contents of Far Cry 3′s Collector’s Edition, dubbed the “Insane Edition” to keep in line with the theme of the game – insanity.
