Oct 29, 2009 6:20pm CST tags: Army of Two: The 40th Day, Trailer
If you ask me, Salem and Rios are a little old for trick or treating. Then again, were the virtual duo to suddenly apparate in front of me, I doubt I'd have much to say.

In case haven't looked at a calendar lately, Halloween is a mere two days away. Army of Two: The 40th Day, meanwhile, won't hit PS3, Xbox 360 and PSP until January 12.

EA has released new Battlefield: Bad Company 2 screenshots and a trailer showing off six of the multiplayer unlockable items in DICE's squad-based shooter, which will be available off the bat in a 'Limited Edition' costing the same as the regular release.

The limited edition will be available for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 "while supplies last" when Battlefield: Bad Company 2 hits all three platforms on March 2, 2010.

Players who end up lumbered with the regular edition will presumably still be able to gain the unlocks--detailed below--the old-fashioned way by ranking up in multiplayer.

Published by Sega, Bayonetta arrives for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in January 2010.

Video game icons from all ages seek the wisdom of fictional star Matt Hazard in a fine new trailer for Blood Bath and Beyond, though there is a certain irony to it all considering the poor critical reception of Matt's actual debut in Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard.

With Windows 7 now on shelves, publisher Ubisoft has announced that Eugen's WW2 real-time strategy R.U.S.E. will support the operating system's 'multitouch' capabilities, allowing players to control the game entirely through a compatible display on PC.

A new gussied-up trailer shows multitouch on PC monitors, though we can't help but pine for the dreamy futuristic gaming table seen in R.U.S.E.'s announcement trailer.

Another Left 4 Dead 2 leak has sprung as a new cinematic trailer labelled 'intro' popped up on the Internet today, with a show of survivor banter and bonding plus a spot of zombie dismemberment you can be quite certain won't be in the Australian version.

Left 4 Dead 2 arrives for PC and Xbox 360 on November 17. Pre-ordering brings a 10% discount, exclusive baseball bat weapon and earlier demo access--perks which have helped Valve's shooter sequel achieve pre-order numbers 300% of Left 4 Dead's.

The identity of Left 4 Dead 2's final two campaigns also leaked recently, revealing a campaign set in a shopping mall. Thanks to an anonymous tipster for the heads-up.
