How Jace Hall ruined the latest PlanetSide 2 trailer
Some guys have all the luck. While at the Sony Online Entertainment office, the video-game-focused internet reality series The Jace Hall Show was tasked with creating a trailer for the upcoming MMOFPS PlanetSide 2.

Check out the final product (including Matt Higby's impressive acting debut) in the humorous video after the cut. The PS2 trailer adventure begins at the 2:20 mark. [Source: SOE press release]

The publisher currently has an unannounced FPS in the works and Hall was allowed to show approximately five seconds of the game. You can check it out around the 15-minute mark in the video past the break. [Via Big Download]
