Is Rockstar seriously implying that the rough-and-tumble gunslingers of Red Dead Redemption can actually work together? Now I've seen it all….

Video Blips:

• Steal the gold, rescue the cattle herd, and give the Mexican army a taste of the old brimstone — it's all in a day's work for you and your posse in Red Dead Redemption's "Outlaws to the End" co-op mission pack. Not featured: hopscotch battles and dodgeball sessions.

Continue after the break for the foreboding debut trailer of Resident Evil: Revelations, an intro to the bewildering world of El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, and a warning on the dangers of Civilization 5's addictive qualities.

 

• Series regulars Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine know how to lay on the suspense in this trailer for Resident Evil: Revelations. Remember when this franchise was about killing zombies and nothing else? [GameTrailers]


• El Shaddai prominently features an exceedingly hunky guy in stormtrooper armor battling not-so-hunky enemies in a psychedelic world. This must be what went on in Salvador Dali's head.
