Original IP from E3.

But look at those speakers, they're all in pairs!

I bet they aren't even hooked up to anything and he's just using the TV audio.

There's a reason you're not in advertising. It's about look, style, feel, ect. Reality matters not. You're supposed to think he's cool, and want to be like him, therefore buying their new product. Not sitting there, grousing about the fact that the speakers are put in a completely idiotic setup. Also, if you look at the floor, there are no wires coming out of those speakers leading to the TV. So I guess he just likes collecting speakers.

Actually purely from an aesthetic viewpoint, I do like the look of that.

Payday: The Heist


*click for trailer video*

This is a new online PC game from Sony Online Entertainment. The core concept of the game is great. You are a team of four people trying to rob a bank. It's an online 4-player co-op game like Left4Dead, except centered around a bank heist. If only this game were more about stealth, espionage, and manipulation rather than guns guns guns, I would like it even better. Still, I love the idea and it looks like it will be a blast to play.

Go Vacation


*click for video trailer*

This game from Namco looks like a ripoff of Wii Sports Resort, but the guys at Destructoid say it's more than that. Normally I wouldn't pay much attention to a game with Mii-style characters, but there is so much stuff you can do in this game, it actually looks kind of fun. It's also one of the few upcoming Wii titles to be talked about and could easily be lost in a pile of samey-looking Wii family friendly titles, so keep an eye out for this one when it is released in the fall.

Afterfall: Insanity



This is a new survival horror game. It looks like a mix of Dead Space, Doom 3, and STALKER to me. I could be wrong.

I have been waiting for Bastion for what seems like forever.

Rise of Nightmares (for Kinect)



Sega is doing their best to tarnish the Kinect's family friendly image by releasing this little bit of videogaming torture porn. In this motion controlled survival horror game you have been trapped in the dungeon of some sicko killer that wants to ruin your life in a painful way and you are trying to escape by finding weapons like sticks, brass knuckles, and chainsaws. You mime out the movements of these weapons with the Kinect controls so you can look completely mental to your neighbors that happen to walk by your window while you're beating down murderering clowns with an invisible stick and a look of terror across your face.

I've been hyped about this game, probably it's going to be the game I'm getting with my Kinect.

Amy


*click for video teaser*

Yet another new survival-horror title announced. This genre seems to be seeing a bit of a resurgence, which I'm happy to see. At first glance, Amy is yet another zombie infestation game. The twist here is that there is a girl named Amy who is immune to the disease and therefore of great value in the efforts to find a cure. You play a woman who is trying to rescue and protect Amy. You are also in the early stages of the disease and need to find supplies to stave off the infection so you don't zombify and become a threat to Amy. The video above shows your character hiding Amy in a closet. Though I don't know for sure what this game will be yet, based on the video I am imagining that it will be a sort of escort mission game, which actually could be really good in a survival horror context because it's scary enough to need to hide alone in the closet, but it's even more frightening when you are sworn to protect a child, especially when that child may be the key to stopping the zombie threat.

Amy looks interesting. If comes out for PSN for a decent price, I'd pick it up.

[KillerJuan77]

I can't believe you didn't mention who is making Amy, Paul Cuisset, the creator of Flashback and Fade To Black. That alone should boost sales .
