Video Blips:

• Protagonist Nathan Drake's knack for catching things on fire doesn't bode well for his short-lived cargo plane ride in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Remember, aspiring adventurers: Not every loose vent covering or lever switch leads to cookies and rainbows.

Continue after the break for a bloody welcome to Dead Island, more prophetic mumblings from Dark Souls, and Hawken's desert destruction.

 

• Banoi Island's tourist season kicks off with zombies galore and appropriately melodramatic theme music in Dead Island. Meanwhile, Hawaii's equally crowded beaches still suffer from crappy Thai food and overpriced bicycle rentals. Damn you, real life! Daaamn yooouuu!

• That creepy old lady returns to tell us about some of the overwhelmingly powerful beings who will kick our ass in Dark Souls. At least these segmented prologue sequences gives us enough time to curl up in a more protective fetal position.

• When bulky buildings start materializing out of the desert's haze, it only means one thing: Hawken's excellent mech-versus-mech action. Or it could mean another Chinese ghost town. Either way, it's getting blown up.
