News: Video games trailers GALORE [Bumper Edition] Part 1 + My birthday

Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me! Yes, I'm shameless but it is my birthday today, it only comes once a year so I get to joyously announce it wherever I please.

Also, please take a look below at some sweet trailers for games coming out in 2011. If my birthday won't get you excited, at least these videos will.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Who doesn't like Oblivion? It's such an awesome game. Free-roaming beautiful lands in search of adventures, NPCs to mess with and loot to steal. Now we can do more of that in Skyrim, the only difference being it's set up in the Nordic frigid highlands where people be ugly and coats fur-lined.

And dragons. No surprise there though, it seems we're having dragons make a comeback (read: unimaginative) in a big way. WoW's done it with Cataclysm, Guild Wars 2 is doing it, Dragon Age 2... (duh), and now Skyrim. As long as I get to fight a big, bony, fire-breathing lizard sometime, I'm not complaining.

Crysis 2

Crysis was a decent game. Sure, the graphics were mind-blowing but the gameplay was alright. There was some sense of choice thanks to your nanosuit powers, but the environments were pretty linear.

Now Crysis 2 looks to open up that linearity with a massive, sprawling, highly detailed New York city which lets you approach objectives from any angles. That's exciting. Plus the new Cryengine 3 is going to kick some serious graphical ass. And the trailer is well made. So much chest-beating and man-ness.

Mass Effect 3

Mass Effecttttt 3... MAAASS EFFECTTT 3 .... MAAAAASSSSS EFFEEECTTTTT 3333

I loved Mass Effect 2 to bits, and Bioware's done good so far. So yeah, Mass Effect 3 will rule. 'Nuff said.

Homefront

It's a tad bit prophetic, if not inappropriate that Homefront is developed and announced around the time when North Korea decided to start shelling the South, with talks of war possibly breaking out.

Regardless of what's happening in the real world, countless uninformed gamers worldwide will sit in their basements and live out fantastical stories like if North Korea really DID invade the rest of the world. Because them be evil, tyrannical communists, and the only appropriate country left for game developers and Hollywood execs to use as villains for their stories.

Looks like a bit of good shooting fun though.
