Gotta love the Prototype vids. Let's face it - Alex Mercer is just bad-ass, and being in a bad-ass-looking game definitely scores high on the sick-o-meter. Job well done, Sierra Entertainment. This vid lives up to the standard, and the best part is: this vid has gameplay footages, so it's the closest you can come to enjoying the blood n' brutality if you haven't gotten Prototype for the PS3, Xbox 360, or PC. It's out now so this vid might make a good sales pitch.

As E3 draws nearer, we've got more publishers coming out guns blazing with their E3 lineups. Up next is Activision, and well, well, well, look who's packing the big guns for the expo!

Activision and Radical Entertainment gives us this new trailer for their single-player thriller, Prototype (PS3, Xbox 360, PC). When they said "breed something new," they really did, and they got a cannibalistic baby which grew up to be a bad-ass with shapeshifting powers! Naturally, we get a lot of bloody dismembering and non-surgical amputation, which is a big draw for a game if you're into that sort of thing. Check it out.

More layoffs are happening in the gaming industry, this time from NCsoft. But it's not as drastic as rumors that circulated this week claimed. Details after the jump.

And the technology wars begin. Just when you thought NVIDIA had the last say in the verbal bout of "who's processing power gargles nuts now?" Intel decided that it was time to take the graphics game to a higher level. Today, we're introduced to Intel's "Larrabee" - a much rumored CPU concept prototype designed to carry some form of graphics processing as well. Suddenly itching for more? Full story now, pardner.

One of the most exciting bits of news that gamers can hear is that of the release date for highly-anticipated games. Fortunately for gamers in the United Kingdom, Play.com has spilled the beans via a booklet. Release dates for various games such as Fable 2 and Protorype have been announced.
