I haven't done video posts in awhile. Interesting games afoot!

First up, Red Dead Redemption

This is highly anticipated on my list. It looks a gazillion times bigger than GTA 4, more awesome than Just Cause 2, you can channel your best Clint Eastwood, and multiplayer free roam means you and your buds can form a gang, kick ass, and ride into the sunset together.
Unfortunately there's no confirmation of when it's coming out for the PC ): Only consoles for now. But Rockstar did the same with GTA 4, releasing it on the PC a little after consoles. So I'm optimistic it won't be too long before we see this for mouse and keyboard.
Singularity up next!

From the dudes who also did the latest Wolfenstein reboot. That was a decent game and had nifty hand powers too. But this is running on the more graphically epic Unreal 3 engine, so it's going to rock. It's giving off some Half-Life vibes, not that that's a bad thing seeing as Valve is not working on the game they should be working on. I'm hoping this is just as smart as it is action-packed.
Law Abiding Engineer - A TF2 machinima

Not a game but if you've seen the movie Law Abiding Citizen, or love TF2, then you'll want to see this. Heck, even if you haven't seen the movie or like TF2, just watch this blasted video. It rocks all kinds of socks off. Totally something Valve might've done, 'cept some brilliant dude got to it first.
And last but not least, a non-PC game, but still an awesome trailer.... Gears of War 3

I don't know about you, but even the Gears of War 1 and 2 trailers were moving to me. Epic seems to know how to tug at my heartstrings; it's the juxtaposition of an intense, grim action-packed game with some really beautifully chosen music. R.E.M, Devotchka or this one's Heron Blue by Sun Kil Moon (if you were wondering). But I really like that last line. "Brothers to the End".
Have a good day, everybody.
