The new trailer puts the spotlight on the game’s protagonist Preacher as he returns home to find his family torn apart from years of combat deployment. This is definitely a different story than what we’ve come to expect from the Medal of Honor series, or let alone any other military first person shooter.

Medal of Honor: Warfigher sets to goes beyond Afghanistan and into enemy territory with missions inspired by real world events such as rescuing hostages in the Philippines and eliminating the pirate threat on the Somali Coast.

Medal of Honor: Warfigher is set to be released for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC on October 23, 25 and 26 in North America, Australia and Europe respectively.

Here is some odd news for ya. Nintendo recently announced two new colors for the Nintendo DSi. Yes, you heard that right…the DSi. The aging yet still kicking platform will be seeing matte blue and red versions released as soon as this week.

I love choice, so I am down for more colors and I kind of commend Nintendo in keeping their famed line alive.

Bond is Back in New Skyfall Trailer

2012 is the 50th anniversary year of the James Bond film series. For half a century Ian Fleming’s 007 has occupied a huge space in the movie industry and pop culture, constantly evolving with every new actor cast – the reveal of the next James Bond is an event in itself.

After something of a misstep with Quantum of Solace four years ago there is work to be done to restore faith in Daniel Craig’s version of the character. Thankfully Skyfall will not be continuing the story that Casino Royale began back in 2006, and the director and cast involved are more than enough to sell this latest entry in the series.

Javier Bardem takes on the mantle of Skyfall’s villain, and is finally revealed in todays new international trailer. Anyone who has seen the Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men is more than aware of what this man can do with a villain, so his reveal in this trailer is something of a highlight, especially given his seeming penchant for stellar performances of characters with shall we say, unique hairstyles.

Also featured are Ralph Fiennes and fellow Brit actor Ben Whishaw as gadget expert Q,  who has not appeared since Pierce Brosnan’s days in the titular role. Of course the character was played by Monty Python legend John Cleese, so no doubt Whishaw’s portrayal will take on a completely new angle.

The biggest sell for Skyfall however is  Sam Mendes, the British director behind American Beauty, Revolutionary Road and Road to Perdition. Today’s trailer is chock full of potential plot detail gold, so make sure and discover it for yourself above.

Skyfall will hit cinemas in October.

Persona 4: The Animation Blu-ray to feature English dub-only

In what is quickly becoming an all too common occurrence, Sentai Filmworks has announced that they will be dropping the Japanese voice track from their Blu-ray release of Persona 4: The Animation. This means that the Blu-ray version of the anime will only feature the English dub and will be sold at a $10 discount for $59.98, though it is interesting to note that the DVD version seems to be unchanged.

Before you go laying the blame on Sentai Filmworks for this one, it turns out it was the Japanese license holder who forced Sentai to make the change. This is obviously due to the xenophobic reverse importation fears that have been growing at a ridiculous rate for Japanese anime companies.
