Tomb Raider: Turning Point
Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have unleashed the trailer for the upcoming Tomb Raider game that will be available in the autumn for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Turning Point is the “intense and gritty origin story of Lara Croft and her ascent from a frightened young woman to a hardened survivor.”

Duke Nukem Forever
It’s been a long time coming, but not quite forever. According to the press release: “Put on your shades and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem, whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure. The alien hordes are invading and only Duke can save the world. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses can’t stop our hero from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it. The King arrives with an arsenal of over-the-top weapons, non-stop action, and unprecedented levels of interactivity. This game puts the pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle the many hot women that occupy Duke’s life - that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from destroying alien invaders. Duke Nukem was and will forever be a gaming icon, and this is his legend.”

Green Lantern
Another behind-the-scenes featurettes for DC’s attempt to emulate Marvel’s big screen magic.

Showrunners
And finally, a bit of an oddity, but we think you’ll like it: a trailer for a documentary featuring a few familiar names…
