Gears of War 3 Premiere Trailer
Gears gameplay has always itself well to cinematic trailers. This trailer continues the Epic Games tradition of overlaying dramatic gameplay and popular music rather than instrumental pieces or game specific scores. My particular musical taste means that I just ate this one up. I’m getting pretty excited for this game.

Bulletstorm - Final Story Trailer
The unfortunate truth is that it is tough for me to get too excited about a game that is not a sequel or at least very heavily publicized. However Bulletstorm has caught my attention. It is made by Epic Games (Unreal Tournament, Gears of War) and runs on the unreal engine so it looks like every other game that fits that description. It also has over sized characters, futuristic derelict landscapes and menacing creatures and machines of giant proportions. So yeah, it could just be Gears of War 3 played as a first person shooter.
But even given the “same old, same old” risk I still think Bulletstorm slips into the ten console games that I am most excited for in 2011 (exhaustive list to come).
Day 25: a terrific co-op experience
There is not too much added GoW2 content for co-op play, but the gameplay just lends itself very well to two player action. However, both honorable mention games are vastly superior when played in co-op. GoW2 is still a lot of fun as just a single player game, but co-op is the best experience.
honorable mention: Left for Dead 2, Borderlands

Day 19: a video game with a laughably useless sidekick/teammate
Your relationship with Dom is very one sided. He is completely useless. He kills almost no one and he is constantly crying out for help. The game is about subterranean monsters and the most unbelievable part is the idea that when you split up, Dom can actually hold is own.
