Cliché-riddled it may be, the trailer for Nier is set to the tune of some pretty epic music.

Video Blips:

• Nier combines swords, sorcery, and garishly dressed characters. With all the hoopla about "forbidden pages" and floating books, this could very well be a re-imagining of Myst.

Continue after the break for the demon-slaying, teen-angst filled trailer of Persona 3 Portable, a peek into the making of Split/Second, and the brutal murdering of a stuffed animal in Naughty Bear.

 

• I feel jealous of the high school kids in Persona 3 Portable who get to slay demons. I'm also jealous of their school's cadre of hot teachers. [GameVideos]


• This behind-the-scenes look into the development of Split/Second doesn't have enough lens flare. Those color-exploding Scion commercials have nothing against such wanton destruction. [YouTube]


• What does a cake mixer, a locker, and a happy-go-lucky motif have in common? Dead teddy bears, apparently. This could be hours of fun.
