In a Twitter response, the Dead Space  team has confirmed there will be no split-screen support for Dead Space 3 .

Get More: GameTrailers.com , Halo 4 - E3 2012: Infinity Multiplayer Trailer HD , PC Games , PlayStation 3 , Xbox 360 Halo 4 's multiplayer is getting updated.  343 Industries is trying make sense of the past Spartan slaughter-fests. Players will now compete in War Games, a simulated multiplayer experience.  So, it at least makes sense why Spartans can gun down their brothers-in-arms, it's just a training simulation. In addition to the competitive multiplayer is a new cooperative mode called Spartan Ops: Briefing Room.  These missions are based on a weekly spin-off series that takes place on-board the UNSC Infinity.  Every week a new episode will be released comprising of five cooperative missions.  This will expand on the Halo  story after players have absorbed every bit of the campaign. Much like Reach , players will be awarded credits for everything they do in Halo 4 .  These credits will act as a currency to purchase new armor pieces an...

Coming in summer 2013, expect more of the same.  Not that that's a bad thing.

With Resident Evil 6 , you've taken two steps into the right direction: you brought the zombies back and you think games like this should take place at night.  I must say that you've aged well and are more beautiful than ever.  Your gameplay looks as tight as any hot, new franchise and the way you set up tight spots would make any veteran dominatrix blush. As much as these changes are going to help mend our relationship, I'm still worried.  You see, baby, you keep flirting with those action games.  Sure they're fun and exciting with their no nonsense style.  It's s...

Taking an overgrown city similar to New York in I Am Legend , The Last of Us  paints a heart wrenching story of what appears to be a father and daughter trying to survive.  We don't know where they're going or why, but the journey looks phenomenal.  Combining guttural gameplay with incredible interactions between the two characters, The Last of Us  looks like it will take players on an emotional roller coaster.  I just hope that one of them doesn't die in the end.

While not much has gotten me excited for Nintendo's next console, this one has definitely made my ears perk up.  Let's just hope its not plagued by the same problems Dead Rising had.

Get More: GameTrailers.com , Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - E3 2012: Exclusive Trailer HD , PC Games , PlayStation 3 , Xbox 360 The E3 trailer for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance  takes all of the wrong steps with its over the top intro, horrid music, and preachy prologue.  It seems that even with new developer Platinum Games at the helm, the same tired and overly philosophical messages of MGS have carried over. I was in the vast minority of people that actually like Raiden as a character when he debuted in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty .  I never did get to play Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots , so I'm a bit out of the loop with Metal Gear .  While I don't know that I have the energy to endure another sermon for Pastor Kojima, I'll try anything from the team that created the incredible Bayonetta .

Get More: GameTrailers.com , Halo 4 - E3 2012: Debut Gameplay HD , PC Games , PlayStation 3 , Xbox 360 At this point, I'm shocked we haven't seen a live action Halo yet.  Sure, they tried and we ended up getting that abysmal District 9 , but surely we can make it happen now.  Even if it doesn't, we'll still be treated to expertly crafted teases and trailers surrounding everyone's favorite SPARTAN. It's been four years since the events of Halo 3 .  The world thinks Master Chief is dead.  Now that peace has been obtained, the UNSC has begun their discovery missions, much like the Enterprise of Star Trek .  Things go awry and they crash land on the same planet that Master Chief himself crash landed on all those years ago.  If anything, it's quite convenient for the crew of the Infinity. There's a new alien race that's no friend to the Covenant or the humans.  Sporting some new gear, it's up to Master Chief to rescue the ship and un...

There's quite a bit of info revealed in the official announcement trailer for Dead Space 3 .  Series hero Isaac Clarke is joined by potential love interest Ellie Langford from Dead Space 2  and a new character named John Carver.  John was introduced in the Dead Space graphic novel short less than a week ago. John is a soldier with a marriage on the rocks.  He appears to be working with an entity that is either in charge of or contributing to the construction of the markers.  When introduced to us, John is working on the planet Uxor.  When the shroud covering the marker comes free, it unleashes an EMP that brings ships plummeting from the sky.  With horrific crashes come dead bodies.  The marker then takes those bodies and turns them into a fresh batch of necromorphs. With Dead Space 3  taking place on the frozen planet of Tau Volantis, there may be some uncovering of John's past that needs to happen.  At the beginning of the deb...

We now see Gabriel in what could be the iconic series' namesake castle.  Time has jumped back to the middle ages.  In a cruel twist of fate, Gabriel is now the monster that must be hunted down.  He still grieves for his wife and his entire existence seems to be one of solitude and pain.  As he steps outside onto his balcony, we see a massive army come to eradicate his existence.  What has Gabriel done since the end of the first game to cause so much hatred for himself? After using dark magic and his iconic whip to make short work of the army, ...

Get More: GameTrailers.com , Tomb Raider - E3 2012: Exclusive Crossroads Trailer HD , PC Games , PlayStation 3 , Xbox 360 It's been years since Tomb Raider has made an impact on the gaming community.  Most would say that Nathan Drake of the Uncharted series has stolen Lara's thunder.  Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix look to reclaim the adventure throne with a gritty reboot of the Tomb Raider series. Lara is no longer the sexual, gun-toting angel of archaeology.  We find that she is a vulnerable girl who is more than capable of being hurt.  In fact, it seems that the game will exploit this fact with a lot of abuse thrown Lara's way.  I worry that Crystal Dynamics' attempt to show Lara as a more human and fragile character may be misinterpreted as excessive abuse towards women.  In this trailer alone, Lara takes an excessive amount of physical abuse and has a brief run-in with a would be rapist.  It's definitely a new game ...
