GC 2008: Piping hot trailer for The Conduit

GC 2008: Castlevania Judgment reserved for 2009, mysterious character appears

GC 2008: Dead Rising trailer is dangerously bloody
We don't question the decision to show a trailer for Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop at the Leipzig Games Convention. In fact, it's not even much of a decision: this is a very large press event, so if you are a publisher and you have a game coming out, you show it. And Dead Rising, just by i...
