Army of Two: 40th Day teaser is short but sweet

Sometimes, saying very little says much more than saying a lot. This small teaser forArmy of Two: 40th Dayperfectly demonstrates the beauty of the understatement. If you’re like me and have to spend more time than is fair at disgusting airports, then this video should feel very familiar to you. In any case, Salem and Rios are coming to London in 2010. Should be quite interesting. Hopefully they murder Piers Morgan and fist-punch over his twitching, cooling corpse....

Assassin’s Creed comic scans hit net, spoil first 30 seconds of the game

To date, Ubisoft have tried hard to keep the mystery ofAssassin’s Creed‘s secrets under wraps. In ourdemo/chatwith Ubisoft’s Jade Raymond last month, she was tight-lipped about specifics (although she slipped up once or twice), but also mentioned that all would be revealed almost as soon as you started playing the game. So maybe it’s not the end of the world that scans of anAssassin’s Creedcomic book have wound up online, and that they reveal a bit about the game’s plot than Ubisof had wanted us to know....

Blogwatch: Nick Chester and Guitar Hero on Attack of the Show

So, we’ve got Nick talking aboutGuitar Hero IIIvs.Rock Band, as well as the announcement ofMafia 2. Personally, I don’t agree with Nick on the first portion, as I think Rock Band will do much better by the end of the first game’s life. They’ve got too much going for them, and there’s sure to be plenty of Rock Band tournaments or somesuch going on, a la thePac-Mantournament.

Capcom has a teaser site with 1560 on it

Hooray!Another teaser site! Just what we always wanted. At least it’s not a countdown this time, but it’s still a pretentious load of artificial hype from a major publisher. This must be a Japanese thing, since it’s usually either Nintendo, Konami, Capcom or Square Enix that do this kind of thing. Anyway, it’s Capcom’s turn today, with a new site that says “1560.” No idea what it means, and I hardly care, if I’m honest....
