Tonight at the Spike TV Video Game awards we had a look at a trailer for the new Medal of Honor game from EA. The new installment in the series was announced last week.

About Medal of Honor

Medal of Honor is a modern military first person shooter from Electronic Arts being developed by both EA DICE and EALA. Medal of Honor is a “reboot” of the best selling Medal of Honor franchise that has until now been exclusive to the World War II setting. With more than a dozen titles in the franchise, across all gaming platforms, Medal of Honor is the first game that is not set during World War II. Set in modern day, war-torn Afghanistan players will take on the role of a soldier in the Tier 1 Operator which is group of highly trained military soldiers under the direct command of National Command Authority.

The single player and multiplayer modes will have separate development teams, with EA Los Angeles tackling the single player game and Battlefield series developer EA Dice taking on the multiplayer portion. As of the initial press release on December 2, 2010, Electronic Arts has set a target release date of sometime in the Fall of 2010. More information, screenshots and links will be posted as they are made available.

About the Footage:

It’s no secret that this game is looking to compete with Activision’s Call of Duty series, and the imagery in the trailer was more than a little bit familiar. One segment showed a black and white view in a gunship, then a night vision segment where the laser sight glows in the dark. There was also a section where players drive an ATV through the desert and have the ability to perform close quarters kills with a knife. The trailer closes out with players checking on a hostage tied to a chair and realizing that he’s wired with explosives. The hostage is kicked out of a window just as he explodes.

First gameplay footage of Modern warfare 2 is revealed. IGN adds “One of the most likely candidates for best-selling game of 2009 is Modern Warfare 2. Until today, the only footage of the Call of Duty 4 sequel was an ambiguous teaser trailer. On Sunday, during an NBA playoff game featuring the Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics, TNT aired a brief trailer showcasing the first in-game footage of Modern Warfare 2.”

Here is what 1up writes about the first gameplay footage

If you’re an NBA fan and a gamer Sunday afternoon held two surprises. Not only did the Boston Celtics hit a shot at the buzzer to win a fantastic game against the Orlando Magic, but Infinity Ward and TNT decided to hype the upcoming “World Premiere” of Modern Warfare 2 on May 24th by airing a 17 second teaser which gives us our first look at actual gameplay.The footage features quick cuts of helicopters, submersible assaults, and even some snowmobile combat. Eagle-eyed viewers can also catch a glimpse at some wicked hand-to-hand moves.

Just to add, COD  Moderwarfare 1 was the highest selling game in 2008, so the anticipation levels are extremly high for this game. Stay tuned as we would be bringing you all the trailers, screenshot, details, wallpapers – as soon as they are available.

Fallout 3 – Broken Steel is the third Fallout 3 downloadable content pack, released on May 5, 2009 for the Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live.  Reviews have been pouring in for the anticipated title and we have aggregated them for you.

In this DLC pack, the player will join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all.

In addition to amending the main quest to let players continue their adventures after the end of the main quest and raising the level cap to 30, Broken Steel’s quest line is of the same length as the ones of Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt. In order to access the new story content from Broken Steel, the player has to have finished the main storyline from the base game. However, the level cap expansion will take effect upon installation of the DLC, so players previously stalled at level 20 will once again accumulate XP even if they haven’t finished the main storyline.
