Black Ops 2 live action trailer packs a lot of surprises

Activision releases yet another live action trailer for Black Ops 2 with the whole "There's a soldier in all of us" tagline. Just like past live action trailers for a Call of Duty game, you see famous faces. The ones worth mentioning? Mr. Ironman himself, and one famous Youtuber that just loves to shoot guns, FPS Russia. Check the trailer below. 

Better than the previous live action trailers? Yes, but I was surprised to see FPS Russia, which by the way if you like to see real guns in action, you should definitely check his channel out.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 hits shelves on November 13 on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Hitman Absolution - Cinema Trailer

Can't wait for the long-awaited return of Agent 47? IO Interactive just released a new trailer for Hitman Absolution reminding you of its release in a few weeks. Check out the cinematic trailer below.

A few weeks ago it was Dishonored, tomorrow Assassin's Creed 3 gets released, in November, Hitman Absolution. Quite a lot of triple A titles with stealth mechanics in a span of a couple of weeks. At this point, your wallets must be feeling the hurt.

Get ready for Hitman Absolution when it hits on November 20 on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

G4 pulls the plug on X-Play and Attack of the Show, will last until the end of the year

It's an end of an era. G4's longest running shows has been cancelled and will only run until the end of the month. During the last few months, both shows will be airing memorable moments that will eventually lead to the shows farewell episodes. 

A few months ago long time hosts Kevin Pereira for Attack of the Show! and Adam Sessler for X-Play left G4, so with that alone, this was no surprise at all. With them out of the picture, it's really hard to picture any form of success for the two shows. But there's a bigger picture.

It was reported by Joystiq that the editorial staff of G4's The Feed has been laid off. So a lot of people at G4 are losing their jobs right now and we hope for the best for them.

It was a long run for both shows. Attack of the Show! was first aired in 2005, and brought pretty hilarious moments every now and then. X-Play,will surely be missed. Even when it was still called Extended Play, it was my go-to place for gaming news and reviews for the longest time when I was young.

This definitely does not look good for G4 as a network. Last time I checked, X-Play and Attack of the Show! is pretty much the G4 network.

Finished with Dishonored? Well hold on to your copy as long as you can because three DLC packs are planned for Bethesda's First-person assassin game, and the first one is planned for a December release. Details below.

The first one to be released is called ""Dunwall City Trials.". It will be released sometime in December and will cost you $4.99/400 MS Points. The DLC will include 10 challenge maps that will test your assassin skills. Challenges will include an arena battle against waves of enemy AI, a gravity-defying run of drop assassinations, and a race against the clock. Dunwall City Trials will have their own set of new achievements and leaderboard for bragging rights.

Dunwall City Trails will be released simultaneously on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

The second and third DLC will be story-driven content, but is planned for a early 2013 release. The leader of a group of supernatural assassins known as ‘The Whalers’, will be the focus of the second add-on pack. For the third DLC, no details yet.
