Want to see footage from Bioshock 2? A new trailer about Punch-Out Wii’s multiplayer mode? The first image of the new main character from Assassin’s Creed 2? Now you can…

Punch- Out!!

A new trailer for Punch-Out has revealed that the title will definitely include a split-screen multiplayer mode. This mode had previously been rumored to be a feature of the new game, and it has now been confirmed by the trailer that premiered on the GameTrailers TV show last night on Spike TV. Punch Out will be released for the Nintendo Wii on May 18th.

Bioshock 2

Also premiering on GameTrailers TV this week was the first gameplay footage of Bioshock 2. The footage looked very similar to the first game and features the Big Sister in action. Bioshock 2 is rumored to be released later this year, but a firm release date has yet to be announced.

Assassin’s Creed 2

Finally, fans of Assassin’s Creed might want to look out for the May issue of Game Informer magazine, featuring a cover story on Assassin’s Creed 2. The cover of the magazine has been posted on the web, and a clear picture of the game’s main character has also been released. Interestingly, players will not be controlling Altair this time around. Instead, the protagonist for the Assassin’s Creed sequel will be a man named Ezio Auditore, an Italian noble from the 1400s.

This Week in Video Games

Saberj — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:15:57 +0000

The fall onslaught of games continues this week. If you are a video game fan, this is the time of the year you look forward to. This week’s big game (Other than the delayed LittleBigPlanet which was supposed to drop last week instead) is Fallout 3. It’s supposed to be one of those multi-platform gems that really takes the whole gaming community by storm. Bethesda, creators of The Elder Scrolls (Morrowind and Oblivion) series took control of the franchise, and tries their hand at re-creating the post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting. Reviews are looking promising, if this type of open world setting is up your alley.

Next week sees the release of Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, Quantum of Solace, and Tom Clancy’s End War. Hope you have you wallet’s primed for use. Keep reading:
