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.

The game’s out for PS3 and Xbox 360 on 11th May.

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.

Rumours of the original Xbox Live servers’ shut-down are greatly exaggerated, it seems. Watch as the Giant Bomb team plays the old lady out… and out… and out…

Smart work Microsoft. If a thing’s worth doing, it’s worth doing extraordinarily badly and generating an excess of lulz.

Ah, Realtime Worlds, how easy it is to read between your lines. Your mouth says “self-expression, spontaneity, creativity” but your eyes say “make graffiti, do emoticon, blow up car”.

The Scottish dev’s latest video documentary lays bare the artistic agenda behind its long-in-development MMO gangsta bangsta, amid much burning of fools and capping of asses. Check ‘er out.

Heads up, poppets. Are you into bedraggled, exhausted, smelly twenty-somethings with stupid posh voices? No? Well how about bedraggled, exhausted, smelly twenty-somethings with stupid posh voices who make jerk-off gestures on PUBLIC TV?

I was in London recently to preview Ubisoft’s Red Steel 2. Despite my being very, very nice about the game – otherwise known as the “most intelligently assembled example of Wiimote combat the console has to offer” – they went and filmed me doing it. The results just hit Youtube. SEND HELP.

That’s Creative Director Jason VandenBerghe holding the microphone.

Between the upcoming Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Bad Company 2 and the khaki-coloured cash cow that is Call of Duty, you can’t move for military shooters at present.

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.

I’m not the hugest fan of White Knight Chronicles, but this trailer still raised a smile.

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.

Half a decade later the sandbox is conspicuous by its absence, with Remedy opting for a linear episodic format redolent of Alone in the Dark, but Alan’s still got insomnia, and his game still looks rather tasty.

Check out the footage from last night’s X10 event. The game’s out for Xbox 360 on 18th May in North America and 21st May in Europe.

Apparently the soldier of the future is an “F-16 on legs”. Looks like a chap wearing the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter to us.

Game’s out in fall 2010 for both high def systems and PC.
