ME Combat Scenario: Soldier Class Trailer (Large)There’s a new trailer up that shows some of the combat in Mass Effect from a soldier class perspective. From the looks of things, it should be a lot of fun to play. Is it action? Is it RPG? Really, who cares? It just looks sweet. November 20th just can’t come soon enough.

October was a tremendous month for games; I have a huge pile of things I’ve been meaning to play that came out in the past few weeks, but Team Fortress 2 and Halo 3 are still dominating my playing time. This upcoming month is going to be even crazier, though. Crysis. Super Mario Galaxy. Assassin’s Creed. Call of Duty 4. Unreal Tournament 3. Rock Band. Mass Effect. I’ll stop myself there before I get to around November 13, when something in the neighborhood of 100 games are coming out, including multiple iterations of Petz across every platform ever – and this is the same day Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? comes out. Decisions, decisions.

By now, Smash Bros. Brawl fans have all heard the news that Sonic the Hedgehog, one of video games’ more venerable, classic characters, will be appearing as a playable character in the game. As exciting as this news is, it was a pretty obvious attempt by Nintendo to soften the blow that the game would be delayed until February of next year. That’s not a bad motive for revealing the big secret when they did, but I can think of one very good reason that Nintendo maybe should’ve kept the lid on that bit of information just a little while longer. Seven words: Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.

We’ve all been watching as Clive Barker’s Jericho hit stores recently (It’s on Gametap as well). After all, there’s never anything wrong with a quality, horror-based shooter, especially one that bears the legendary name of Clive Barker. But what makes a horror story great? It’s the monsters, of course!
