Another new Shadows of the Damned video focusing on your mouthy Johnson has been released. Originally posted via the game’s Facebook page, it is basically just your demonic skull-pal jabbering at you the entire time and saying lots of swears.

Duke Nukem Forever has a launch trailer. Those are words we never thought we’d write, but there we are. The clip, which features the standard ass-kicking, alien-killing we’ve come to expect from Duke, is pretty much uncensored, so it’s definitely NFSW. You can watch it after the break. DNF launches next Friday in the UK and on June 14 in the US for PS3, 360 and PC.

360-PS3-PC. It’s the simultaneous game release Holy Trinity, and without it, all our goat sacrifices would be in vain. Also, business models. PopCap worldwide game development head Ed Allard, however, isn’t quite so gung-ho about the industry standard.

And we mean that, too. GameSpot‘s freed a couple of new Rayman Origins screens from Ubisoft’s Screenshot Vault, and they’re so bright and vibrant that we now know where all the color so painfully absent in every first-person shooter ever went. The accompanying preview’s worth a read as well, as it gives a couple specific examples of how the game’s co-op element will function. So yes, go take a look now. Hopefully, by the time you’ve returned, we’ll have devised a plan to own this game right this very second. We’re not above selling our souls, if it helps.

Thanks, dutch.
