GC10: Dragon Age 2's Brutal Trailer

Fresh from EA's keynote at Gamescom 2010 comes the latest Dragon Age 2 trailer, and I gotta say it looks pretty badass. Normally I don't put much stock into the full CG trailers, but these recent ones have been too ridiculous to not make me tingle in the pants. DA2 is continuing the trend of staggeringly beautiful full motion video clips, with protagonist Hawke squaring off against a vicious horned Qunari.

When did Qunari grow horns? Is Hawke a battle mage? Will the game be any good? Can you make me a grilled cheese sandwich? These questions remain to be answered, but in the meantime, enjoy watching Hawke summon otherworldly demon hands of furious vengeance.

Dragon Age 2 will release mid-March 2011.

What The Hell is Sucker Punch?

I feel like I've been talking about Sucker Punch a lot recently. Only because I've been complaining that they're clueless when it comes to designing a protagonist. That Sucker Punch is a game developer. This Sucker Punch is an omgwtf looking movie. 

Cute girls in skimpy clothing with semi-automatic guns and katanas, soulless samurai with chain guns, fire-breathing dragons, the Hindenburg, and even outer space. That's close to my prescribed dose of insane visuals. Christ, what does this movie not have? A story? Guess we'll see.

It's too bad we're going to have to wait until March of next year for Sucker Punch. I hope Zack Snyder doesn't let us down. In the meantime, I'll just watch Inception once a month to tide me over. 

Thanks to Kotaku for the heads up on this one.
