This just in: Lost Planet 2 has a hell of a lot of stuff in it. Both stuff you’d expect from a sci-fi shooter, like laser cannons, and stuff you wouldn’t expect, like inflatable dummies and Frank West off Dead Rising. See for yourself.
If the above headline sounds like a girl band lyric, you’re no true Wild Westerner, and should humbly avert your eyes from the magnificence of Rockstar’s latest Red Dead Redemption trailer. It breaks down the multiplayer component for your delectation amidst much killcam spammage. Go Mexicans!
The game’s out for both Proper Consoles on 18th May in North America and 21st May in Europe. We’ve got absolute shedloads of preview coverage on VGD – look here, here, here and here.
‘The Xboxalypse is now. Or now. Sorry, I meant NOW. NOWNOWNOW. OK, somebody get the fireaxe.’

Realtime Worlds staff get their teeth into the features. Non-violent problem-solving: notable by absence.

Sony’s far from tired of them, apparently. With the mighty MAG only weeks old, the manufacturer’s unveiled another squaddy romp – SOCOM 4: US Navy Seals. Tap that trailer above, and keep your eyes peeled for release dates.
That Mr Wake’s given us quite the run-around, hasn’t he? We first heard tell of the man back at E3 2005 – a celebrity pulp author with acute insomnia, cowering in the midst of a spooky Midwestern small-town sandbox.
