New Need for Speed trailer shows new hotness
A new trailer has popped up for the next incarnation of Need for Speed. At the moment, the game goes without any subtitles, leaving us unable to properly identify it. The trailer shows off a real purdy car which subsequently explodes, and really, what more do you need from a video game? The trailer concludes with a quick blurb directing viewers to check out NeedforSpeed.com on May 31st. Impatient people that we are, we decided to check it out now, and were sadly greeted with the website for Need for Speed: Carbon. Sigh ... guess we'll have to wait.

Bringing It Home content, 9/25
Well folks, TGS is over, finished, kaput. As such, it seem only fitting that today's content is more oriented towards western audiences -- note also that there is no Japan exclusive content today. Here's the sweet sweet candy: Battlestations Midway trailer Eragon trailer Import Tuner Challenge trailer Need for Speed Carbon trailer The Darkness trailer Mass Effect Picture Pack (free!) Battlestar Galactica (United States) TGS Showfloor video 3 video F.E.A.R. demo We discussed the F.E.A.R. demo earlier: if you played the OXM demo, there's nothing new. With all this content, it may be time to start clearing out some of that old E3 stuff. Meanwhile, X06 inches ever closer. So, everybody make some room, download each and every one of these trailers, watch them, and then come back here and discuss them. Discuss them, I say!
Three DS videos from Leipzig
There are three DS videos available from the Leipzig convention. One of which is Tomb Raider: Legend. The person filming gave us a chance to take a look at how attacking works and it seems like it came straight from the first demo of Metroid Prime: Hunters in how you tap the enemy to shoot them. Along with Tomb Raider: Legend, videos for Need for Speed: Carbon and Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam can also be viewed. Here's where we would like to open the floor to you. Which do you think looks the best? [Via No Filter]
EA's Need for Speed gets street cred threads
Commercial advertisements and corporate sponsorship have taken it to the next level, to the Xtreme, to the maxX, to the... whatever. While some may not mind the influx of ads inside our favorite video games, some find them very irritable. They aren't much of a concern in "realistic" games, which is why EA decided to team up with 55DSL (a clothing company) in their upcoming game Need For Speed: Carbon that is coming to every console in existence.The clothing being worn by characters in the game will have all been exclusively designed by the folks at 55DSL but will be available to purchase as your own personal garb at EA-sponsored events or pre-order campaigns. Executive producer of Carbon, Larry LaPierre, had this to say about the partnership: "This partnership adds another layer of authenticity to our role in street culture." Role in street culture... what does that mean? Sounds like EA likes themselves, but they're allowed since they nearly own the universe. Still, if you're into getting game-designed clothes by an outside clothing company, Carbon comes out this November so pre-order now and snag a street cultured t-shirt.
EA reveals next Need for Speed babe
EA has announced that Emmanuelle Vaugier, of Saw II fame, will appear in Need for Speed Carbon. Vaugier is set to follow in the footsteps of Brooke Burke and Josie Maran, two actresses that have flaunted their stuff in past Need for Speed iterations.Vaugier will star as Nikki, the ex-girlfriend of Carbon's hero. "Playing the role of Nikki allows me to take a completely fresh approach to acting and push the boundaries of the creative process," Vaugier confesses. Whatever. Just keep the 'drive safely' nagging down to a minimum, 'kay? Maran's PSA at the startup of Most Wanted got tired -- real quick.
