Bethesda has released a new trailer for Fallout 3 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC) and it’s definitely a tease leading up to E3.
How come? Well, this trailer, like the opening scenes for the previous Fallout games starts of with a TV, an idyllic 50’s vibe, and the subsequent revelation of death and destruction all around. Not exactly something for the kids, to be sure, but amusing nevertheless.
Anyway, you can find the video below. Expect to hear more about the game once E3 comes in full swing.

Sega has announced a new RTS title called Stormrise for Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows PC. This new title is currently being developed by Creative Assembly, the company behind the Total War series.
Stormrise is set on a post-apocalyptic earth where the technologically better Echelon and the tribal Sai wage a war for survival. The game will reportedly let players experience battles right on the front lines instead of controlling units from a detached viewpoint.
Stormrise also introduces the idea of “verticality” (can anybody state “Death from above”?). Units can be commanded in the air, across rooftops, on the earth s surface and even underground. Console-tailored controls also allow for simple unit selection, rapid navigation and precise deployment.
Sega and Creative Assembly are currently tracking a 2009 release for Stormrise. For a somewhat closer look at the game, check out the trailer below.

For the first time in Total War history, Creative Assembly will be incorporating fully-fledged naval battles that could turn Empire: Total War into the Golden Age of the series. An official statement from Sega has unearthed the time we could get our hands on their latest strategy game: February 2009.
According to the press release, Creative Assembly has streamlined the user interface, and soon budding imperialists will find that the world strategy map sports more enhancements over the previous Total War games.
Perhaps most interesting of the features laid down for Empire: Total War was the fact that players can participate in events outside of Europe - the new lands of North America and the growing empire in India can also be untapped.
Excited? You probably should be, but even then Sega decided to make sure you would - they’ve tendered the latest trailer to come out of the 18th century, and it screams awesomeness. You can check out the video below, but before you do, we’ve just got to say one more thing:
FIRE AS YOUR GUNS CAN BEAR!

Last week, we were all over Diablo 3. This week, we’re still feeling the aftershocks, but news for Computer gaming has been slow of late. You could probably attribute that to the game developers saving all the large ones for the upcoming E3 2008 at Los Angeles, and that’s probably for the best.
Now while E3 may not be seeing Blizzard or Her Interactive on the floor, we’re pretty sure several other publishers will be prepping to outdo the console big-hitters with their own shocking revelations. But before we delve on Computer gaming’s hopeful elite within E3, let’s gather what’s happened in the past several days.
Computer Weekend Warrior blasts off in 3, 2, 1…
Shake your tailfeathers!
This week, we’ve seen something new crop up from Personal computer puzzle and mystery adventure buffs Her Interactive with Nancy Drew: The Phantom of Venice, while Devil May Cry 4 from Capcom was expected to ship to retail shelves worldwide. Unfortunately for some stores, not all of these popped up in the past few days.
Last weekend was a sensational playthrough of the newest modification to come for Valve’s Half-Life Source engine, Day of Defeat: Source - if ever so limited by time. Just don’t ask how I fared against machinegun spam. Oh, the painful memories.
How goes Blizzard this week? Well, you won’t be referring to them as Blizzard anymore. News has it that the Activision Blizzard merger is inevitable, and from what we’re hearing, the name will be official this week.
So goodbye ‘Blizzard,’ hello Activizard - err, I mean Activision Blizzard. Contrary to what you might think, the operations will remain totally separate between the two entities. So whatever the teams are cooking, they’re still brewing with little change in plans.
Read: Call them Actizard: Activision-Vivendi merger gets official
And talking of plans, we hear that a number of Diablo fans have questioned the loss of emphasis on potions and the World of Warcraft-spurred idea of re-speccing (re-specializing).
And ever hear of the petition for the Diablo 3 art team to take a grittier, darker theme to Sanctuary’s surroundings? That’s reached around 40,000 signatures already.

Still, former Blizzard North employees have given Diablo 3 the nod (and it’s a good nod, too), and that’s something. Okay, so maybe it’s coming from just one developer, but the Diablo 2 developers that have been asked about it did have a good amount of blended emotions about the emergence of Diablo 3. So there’s got to be some positives there.

Wondering how you’re going to get through September without turning to a streetside beggar? It so happens that the PC gamer’s top-listed must-haves are lined up for release by that month, and if that wasn’t enough, there are even rumors that Grand Theft Auto IV might debut on the PC this October.

So goodbye ‘Blizzard,’ hello Activizard - err, I mean Activision Blizzard. Contrary to what you might think, the operations will remain absolutely separate between the two entities. So whatever the teams are cooking, they’re still brewing with tiny change in plans.
