Now that I've returned from my globe-spanning attempts at fulfilling my ambition to become the next Ezio Auditore (the Renaissance attire gave me away), it's good to be back in the Video Blips saddle again. But enough of my rambling — onward to the videos!
Video Blips:
• Sure, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood espouses subtletly like its predecessors — but protagonist Ezio's inherent bravado allows for some pretty flashy kills. As for Ezio's posse, I suppose they can hang back and let him wage his one-man rampage.

Continue after the break for the heroic launch trailer of The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest, a menacingly metal teaser for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, and the blast-a-thon of Worms 2: Armageddon.
• While Frodo fumbles with hoop-shaped jewelry and the lack of shoes, players can take control of the way cooler Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest. Gandalf is a close second on the coolness factor, though — where else can you don the ridiculously white garb of an angelic spell-slinger whose primary defense is a long wooden stick?

• My fingers involuntarily curled into horns as I listened to Soundgarden's "Black Rain" for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. Don't miss Dethklok's (of TV's Metalocalypse) brief cameo roughly halfway into the teaser!

• Flying sheep, a donkey statue, and the coveted holy hand grenade — yep, this is definitely Worms 2: Armageddon. Ah, the notion of slugging various forms of eclectic artillery into invertebrate soldiers will never get old.
