‘Sorcery’ is back with a new trailer

Remember Sorcery? It was a personal highlight of Sony’s E3 2010 press conference, and my reason for buying PlayStation Move. Except for the fact that the game kind of disappeared after that event. But now, thankfully, the game is back as of a couple of months ago. In this trailer, you can get a glimpse inside what Santa Monica Studios have done with this title over the past year and a half. Still looks good to me, but what do you think?

Meet Swan in this trailer for ‘Lollipop Chainsaw’

Remember high school? Everyone had their cliques, their associations. You know where you sat for lunch. Yeah, that was your group. San Romero High is no different. Meet Swan. He wants to take over the world as a bit of revenge on those who chose to ridicule him and put him down. Unfortunately for him, there’s Juliet. And she…well, doesn’t really want that to happen. Sorry, guy. Watch this trailer to learn a little more about the goth that wants world domination.

Lengthy ‘Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City’ trailer shows off a deadly hate triangle

We know all about love triangles. This trailer from Capcom for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City shows off a completely new dynamic, though — the hate triangle. See, the Umbrella Security Service team is working against the zombies and US Spec Ops. US Spec Ops is working against USS and the zombies. And the zombies just hate/want to eat everyone, ever. It’s kind of their thing. It’s what Capcom’s calling a “Triple Threat” — nice word choice given that we’re looking at the T-virus. Here’s (almost) six minutes of zombie-killin’ action. (Note: Don’t watch this if you don’t want to hear swearing and see some bloody messes.) Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City will be released March 20.

‘Torchlight 2′ delayed to 2012

In a short update from Travis Baldree over at Runic Games, it was announced that Torchlight II, originally planned for release this year, well…won’t hit that mark. Doesn’t mean they didn’t try, at least! “…[W]e made a good run at that,” Baldree wrote. “We’ve come to the realization, however, that getting a game of this scope up to the quality and polish level we want to achieve is going to take a little longer; especially since we want to run a small beta before release to ensure that our launch is smooth.” Today, Runic released a State of the Game podcast that you can take a listen to if you’re wondering what, exactly, led to this delay. But Travis still hopes you won’t be too sad about the game’s delay: Besides, you’re all playing Skyrim right now anyway, aren’t you? Or Battlefield 3? Or Uncharted 3? Or Saints Row 3?

New, magical PS3 bundle switches the focus away from games

Sony announced their new holiday bundle today, and there’s…well, not a game in it. The newest addition to the bundlesphere includes a 3D copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2, a PS3 system (obviously), and vouchers to download the first two movies in the Harry Potter series. This new focus on 3D in a bundle is nicely-timed, given that Sony recently released its new PlayStation-branded 3D display on November 13.

‘Limbo’ sells one million, makes a move to Mac and back to independence

Playdead announced today that their charming platformer Limbo has sold over one million copies worldwide — and hey, that’s all digital, so we don’t have to worry about shipped units versus sold units here. As a result, Playdead’s been able to buy back the company from its early investors, and they’re also starting work on their next title. “With the success that Limbo has achieved, we felt this was the ideal time to fully regain our independence,” said Dino Patti, Playdead CEO. “We are grateful to everyone who supported us over the past few years, and look forward to forging new partnerships that will both let us reach new heights as a studio and give our director, Arnt Jensen, room to grow creatively.” Playdead also announced that a Mac version of Limbo is now in development.

‘BioShock Infinite’ on PlayStation 3 to get special Move peripheral

On an official PlayStation-related article from Sony, the console-maker noted that 2012 release BioShock Infinite will get its own special Move peripheral. Of course, this note didn’t stay up on the site long — here’s the current incarnation — but Videogamer managed to snag the interesting part of the original text: A special PS Move peripheral is being produced that will draw you even deeper into this stunning vision of a parallel future. Of course, the bigger question here is…well, what on Earth (or off Earth also works in this case, I suppose) is the peripheral for Move going to represent? Guns have been done to death, but that’s the likely end result here. I guess an older gun that Booker uses would be cool enough, right? BioShock Infinite‘s Move integration isn’t a secret — Ken Levine himself announced the game’s support during E3 2011. The game currently has no
