First Bodycount trailer makes Michael Bay proud

bodycount2

Some people build sandcastles. Others knock them down. Bodycount is definitely a game for the latter type of person. In Bodycount, your gun is the bull, and everyone and everything around you is the china shop. If you can see it, it can be broken or blown to smithereens by anything from a bullet to a cool summer breeze.

Who said Black 2 was canceled? As far as we’re concerned, it’s still alive, kicking, and exploding violently. Check out the first Bodycount trailer after the break, courtesy of GameTrailers.

Pre-order Turning Point, get postcards

turningpoint.jpg

Codemasters has revealed details of its US pre-order campaign for Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, the alternative history WWII shooter from developer Spark. US gamers who sign up early will get loads of weirdy Nazi-ish stuff, including post cards featuring game art, acces codes to “enhance the game experience”, a behind-the-scenes DVD and a 1931-53 timeline poster that shoud explain why there are swaztikas all over the Statue of Liberty. You cannot say fairer than that, you lucky, lucky people.

Turning Point is set in 1953, assumes the Nazis won WWII and starts with boatloads of mental Germans launching an attack on New York. “Late February” is when you’re going to get it, apparently.
