It's also out today, so if you wanted to buy it, today is the first day which you could do so. GameTrailers made the above montage of video clips from the game's development over the last couple of years, which I think is fantastic -- it's great seeing all the old promos and footage, and it gives a pretty swell overview of the game overall. I mean, I did catch myself drooling about mid-way through the video, so I'm assuming I was liking what I was seeing.

It's true! So says Kotaku, who have announced that Travelers' Tales have announced they'll be making a Clone Wars game in the style of their popular (and very, very fun) Lego Star Wars games. Apparently they'll be based on the first two seasons of the show (season 2 just started a little while ago, right? With the Mandalorians?) and will come out this fall for pretty much everything. You guys have heard my rants about Clone Wars, but I'd play a Lego game based on the Star Wars Holiday Special if they made it. And as long as the characters look like Legos and not puppets from the '50s, my biggest problem with the Clone Wars will be utterly avoided. Keen!

This is the commercial for the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time movie that aired during the Super Bowl last night. Since I'm still recovering from a great game and a great party, please just recall my previous comments -- looks surprisingly accurate to the videogame, Jake Gyllenhaal is so not Persian -- and pretend I also said something brilliant and funny. Now I'm going to get some coffee.

Looks like Sega's Iron Man 2 game is coming along well. There's ground battles, air battles and punching, although I can't tell exactly how free you are to go back and forth between the modes, or if they're specific gameplay styles for specific missions (I'm hoping the former). Also, I can't tell if War Machine is actually Player 2 and you can play co-op missions or if he's just another playable character -- it'd be pretty cool if it were the former, but I'm sadly betting it's the latter. In fact, I don't know why I posted this video at all. My bad. Move along.

And Sonic can quit his day job at the restaurant too. Sega has announced -- by way of the video above -- Sonic the Hedgehog 4, which is a new Sonic game in 2-D. Well, it's 3-D, obviously, but on a 2-D plane, so it actually recreates the gameplay of the games that made a Sonic a star. No talking to human girls, no black knights, no fucking werewolves -- just running and getting rings. You may have noticed the "Episode 1" subtitle; turns out that this will be an online game on Xbox Live and WiiWare (and assumably PSN at some point). I don't know how many levels players will get in each episode -- surely more than one, and hopefully more than three, or one "World" -- but on the bright side, there's a lot of classic Sonic potentially coming down the pike. Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Not College Humor's best, but I still got a chuckle out of Sonic trying desperately to tell Mario about his recent slate of games. Also: "I knew a guy... who had a Dreamcast."

That's not the subtitle to Bioshock 2, although it really should be. I need to confess something. As much as I enjoyed the first Bioshock, I realized the other day I wasn't in any big rush to play the sequel. Sure, I wanted it, but I didn't think I needed to buy it when it comes out next week (on the 9th) -- I have some other games to play and stuff I need to watch, so I was thinking about just waiting until after I finish the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII, whenever that might be. Then I saw this new trailer.
Yeah. I think I'll be picking up Bioshock 2 next week now.

You guys have all seemed pretty excited about Sega's upcoming Aliens Vs. Predator game, so I hope you don't mind yet another clip. This is for the survival mode, which lets four players/marines see how long they can survive against an onslaught of Aliens (and maybe Predators, I don't know for sure). So basically, it's Left 4 Dead versus Aliens, which pretty much sounds like the awesomest thing ever.

Since about 80% of the people in my Friends list on Xbox Live are playing Mass Effect 2 right now, I'm going to guess that there's a certain amount of interest for a video of the game's various scenes of PG-rated booty-knockin', set to the finest sounds Skinemax After Dark has to offer. It's not even as naughty as the Ancient Dogoo Girl trailer below -- jiggling real breasts are naughtier than virtual clothed dry humping, in my opinion -- but it'll give you guys something to watch while I figure out who won the TR contest.
