If you’re trying to outdo the biggest commercial success in videogame history, you need to step your marketing game up. Regular ol’ trailers just aren’t going to cut it. The campaign calls for a new level of trailer: trailers that tease the trailers.
That’s what Activision’s rolled out with this Call of Duty: Black Ops teaser. It reveals that the “world premiere” of its single-player mode will be shown on ESPN during the Monday Night Football match-up between the NY Jets and Minnesota Vikings. It offers a little taste via some quick cuts, but we’ll need to tune in on Monday to get the full tease.

In case our sterling review of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West wasn't visually stimulating enough for you, please take some time to enjoy the launch trailer. With its beautiful landscapes, interesting characters and cavalcade of menacing robots, we believe you'll be glad you did. I know I promised a review of Privates, but when it came to writing time, something rather more important caught my attention.
So unless you live under a particularly thick rock, you’ll have heard about the latest creation from the brilliant minds over at Irrational Games, Bioshock: Infinite. It’s a prequel to the Rapture saga set 40 years before the events of the first two games. Where Bioshock and Bioshock 2 were set in the art deco themed under sea world of Rapture, Infinite takes place in the airborne steam punk city of Columbia.
And although one of the game’s developers believes it could be considered a new intellectual property, the gameplay looks remarkably similar, right down to the big daddy-type figures and supernatural powers, except now you seem to drink them in stead of inject them.
In the game, you’ll play as Booker DeWitt, a detective sent to rescue a woman named Elizabeth from the highly xenophobic city. Of course the big news is that on Tuesday, Irrational Games released the first gameplay trailer for the game. The video’s below, open for your interpretation.

If this Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time trailer is to be believed, then Christopher Columbus didn't find America on his own. He had the help of two dim-witted rabbids and their washing machine/time travel device.
