It's slightly less than two months until Infamous 2 comes out, but at least finally we will have a slew of new games to look forward in the summer. Infamous 2 is the game I am most excited and it's personally my favorite PS3 exclusive. The first link gives gameplay of the cool new enemies you will be fighting in Infamous 2. Last time, Infamous 2 has announced that it would let players build their own missions and share them with other players, and the last player shows the player cool examples of custom missions they could make and play.

Gears of War 3: Dedicated Execution Developer Diary


Gears of War multiplayer was something I disliked mostly because of a lack of dedicated servers, host advantage, and overall game lag. This is something I hope they solve in Gears of War 3. After numerous delays, Epic has decided to host a private beta that is available to those who have bought Epic Edition of Bulletstorm or those who preorder Gears of War 3. The beta testers should help Epic trim the game's multiplayer and make it ready to ship. I am optimistic about Gears 3 because of all of the extra time they are having, and I believe you should to if you disliked the multiplayer in the previous Gears of Wars games. And if you loved the multiplayer, then I bet the hype is just killing you right now and you likely already saw this amazing trailer.

Street Fighter X Tekken: Trailer and Current Roster


One important thing to keep in mind: Street Fighter X Tekken is being created solely by Capcom, with no input from Namco. The counterpart game, Tekken X Capcom, is being made by Namco, with no input from Capcom.

Here is the roster of currently known characters in the series, and this link also contains the latest trailer showing a showdown between each fighting series's icons.

Infamous 2: Quest for Power Trailer


In other news, Infamous 2 is also shaping up to be quite an amazing game where the protagonist, Cole, starts off with the powers he gained in the first game. As the game progresses, he proceeds to enhance his already existing electrical powers, but he gains control of some new types of powers as well. Infamous 2 is scheduled to launch on PS3 June 7th.

Duke Nukem: The Beginning


As I have stated before, I never played Duke Nukem before, but there is still something to be excited over when you hear about the games of where you play a badass hero that spouts ridiculous and epic one liners. Because Duke Nukem was delayed to June 6, you can almost smirk because the game was delayed yet again after being announced 13 years ago. One can assume that these delays will help the game accumulate more hype, and this video isn't helping matters. Learn about the origins of the man who is the Chuck Norris of video games.

Are you buying Duke Nukem Forever? I for one, plan on picking this game up not because I know the game will be particularly good, but because I want to own a monument in gaming history. 13 years of development and ridiculous hype is something worth owning for $60, perhaps I will get the ridiculous special edition with the bust of Duke.

LA Noire Trailer "Slip of the Tongue"

Another showcase of how L.A. Noire is shaping up to be a fine game indeed.
