It's possible this game is going to rock
Cinematic trailer for Arkham Asylum 2:
Other points of interest:
--Thugs will have a much wider variety of appearance than in the first game
--Most thugs will be grouped into gangs, each headed by a staple Batman villain. Confirmed so far are Joker and Two-Face, with many more hinted
--You can keep track of the gangs in your criminal database
--Thugs not attached to a gang roam the streets
--Riddler thugs have replaced Riddler maps in the new game, and will require interrogation before they will talk
And:
--Batman will be able to use ALL of his gadgets in combat. The example shown was Batman vaulting over a thug, spraying explosive gel on him and then detonating it.
--Batman will be able to taunt his enemies, often resulting in some or all of the thugs fleeing.
--Batman will be able to smash through weak walls with his bare hands for a new takedown
--Batman will have new gadgets, confirmed so far are a broadcast analyzer, smoke pellets and an Ultra Sonic Emitter (USE) used to summon swarms of bats.

DO WANT!
Yeah, supposedly I'm mostly straight but Holy Man Meat, Batman! Robert Downy Jr needs to do more shirtless roles, like immediately.
Wow, they actually stuck to their guns

Red Dead Redemption
Been eyeing this upcoming Western game for the XBox and this trailer has me chompin' at the bit. It highlights the weapons of the game, slightly more progressive than most Westerns because it's set post-1900 in the twilight of the Old West (ala The Wild Bunch).
Anyway, it's cool! I suggest opening up the vid at YouTube's actual site so you can watch it in a much larger format, or just watching it on an XBox. But in a pinch...

Dante's Inferno: The Video Game
Has anyone played the demo for this yet? It's in the style of God of War and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, where you fight off hordes of enemies, earn lots of combos, weaken big bosses with normal attacks, and eventually take them out in cinematic sequences by pressing certain buttons when prompted.
Lame, right? Naw, man.
I just played the demo, and for all that it's derivative in gameplay, it was WILDLY ENTERTAINING. It's metal beyond all games ever. It's got gore, nudity, and Heavy Metal-style animated sequences. It's unbelievably crass in how it weds the epic poem with brutally awesome combat, but wed them it does...right down to the inclusion of lurid scenes of a nude Beatrice and a cooly creepy visualization of Dante's guide, Virgil.
The demo starts out pedestrian but by the end I wanted to buy the game. And I don't even usually like these kinds of games! Increasingly stunning visuals, too. Genuinely disturbing.
For the Transformers geeks: potential for an actual, good Transformers game
For once, it's not a hasty tie-in to a crappy movie, but an actual, dedicated game.
Setting is on Cybertron during the big wars before the Transformers came to earth.
Here's the opening cinematic:

30 Movies in 30 Days - JOIN IN!
So the Benbo is running one of their movie geek-out challenges. The goal for each participant is to watch 30 movies during the 30 days of January. There's no prize if you make it other than you got to see 30 (hopefully) kick-ass movies. And if you don't make it, you don't die or anything. The idea is to try it, see how many you can manage, and have fun talking about what you do see.
Right now I know several of the guys at Rogues Gallery are participating and everyone's invited. S'gonna be fun :)
Here are the official parameters, mostly just there to spice things up. Ignore them completely if you want:
Post what you plan to watch in the comments!

Here are the official parameters, mostly just there to spice things up. Ignore them completely if you want:
-5 Films from the same writer (screenplay writer)
-5 Films centered around the same event/time period
-10 Films from each year of the 00s (1 from each year)
-10 Films of your choice
and 10 Films from the categories above must be films you've not seen before.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course these can overlap. For example if you watched 5 films from the same screenplay writer that you've never seen before, that would knock off the same screnplay writer category and half of the 10 new films required! Then you can use the remaining films to watch whatever you want.
