Much like the comical co-host of The Tonight Show with Conan O’ Brien, we were infuriated by Hugh Jackman’s victory in the “Best Male Voice Actor” category during last week’s Video Game Awards ceremony. That Vector Monkey was destined to land in the hands of Andy Richter, who, you may or may not know, provided the voice of Assassin’s Creed 2’s titular killer, Ezio Auditore de Firenze a Lamborghini et Manicotti Formaggio.
You can view Richter’s outburst, as well as a bit of his work in the game, in the Tonight Show clip posted on the show’s official site.

The “E” in RUSE must stand for “epic.” (Don’t bother trying to tell us what the rest of RUSE stands for though, because nobody knows — seriously.) This latest trailer really shows off the dramatic scope of this RTS, and features tank units, airplanes and even some of the Nazi’s nasty V12 rockets. Check it out above.

Capcom’s let loose an avalanche of new media for upcoming Tatsunoko vs Capcom. We’ve got something for everyone, including some piping-hot screens from the screenshot oven (screens are always baked, you know), concept art and even a pair of new gameplay trailers. If you’ve ever wanted to witness a robotic girl pummel someone with a broom, well, head past the break and soak it all in.

Aww, we were having such a good time watching last night’s Spike Video Game Awards show — then the trailer for the recently dated UFC Undisputed 2010 aired, and really soured our enjoyment of the event. See, the first minute of the video utilizes the transformative special effects featured in Michael Jackson’s “Black or White” music video, so immediately we started thinking about how this would be our first Christmas without MJ in our lives. Nothing could revive our good spirits after that. Not even Kimbo Slice’s beard, which may be filled with hidden candies.
Check out the trailer after the jump above, but feel free to skip to the 0:52 mark if you want to avoid the melancholy described above. Alternatively, skip to the 1:01 mark if you want to witness Kimbo’s glorious, confection-rich facial hair.

Capcom’s clearly had enough of people just not getting what Dark Void is all about. So, it put together this latest trailer for the game which clears up any confusion. Is it a puzzle game? No. Dating sim? Nay. RPG? Well, only in that you play the role of a guy with a jetpack who can do a whole buncha stuff, all of which is summarized with big letters and clips of the character doing what said letters say he’s doing.
If, after viewing the video, you’re still not clear on what Dark Void is about, we suspect Capcom’s next step will be to come to your home and demo it for you. Or it could just release a demo. Yeah, that’d work.

Modern Warfare 2 has made blowing up American capitals so passé. EA Montreal is far more visionary, preemptively blowing up the largest city of our future masters: Shanghai. The explosive intro to Army of Two: The 40th Day certainly fits the studio’s new “blockbuster-type” focus and reassures doubters that this game will be a more serious affair than the first. Perhaps you’ve noticed the deliberate lack of bromance in this clip?

TT Games has been at it for some time now with its Lego-themed games, taking on everything from Star Wars to Rock Band, each entry coupling the same goofy, self-referential comedy with a family friendly low barrier to entry.
The new trailer for Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 takes these recurring tropes and adds them to the world of Hogwarts, Muggles, and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, sprinkling in iconic moments from the first four blockbuster books throughout. Without a release date for the game – and with the first half of the final Harry Potter film not hitting theaters until next November – we worry it might be awhile before we get our hands on this block-breaking version of Harry.

If dynamite comes in small packages, it’s fair to assume that lots of dynamite comes in BIG packages. Enter: a new teaser video for the “BIG Pack,” an upcoming downloadable add-on to Xbox Live Arcade’s bone-breaking bike-’em-up, Trials HD. It’s an explosive montage of two-wheeler stunts that fly by too quickly for the brain to process, so be sure to make use of that pause button on the video embedded after the break.
Other things your brain may have trouble processing: a mischievous squirrel. He may seem an adorable little fellow, but if he’s anything like the levels in Trials HD, he likely intends to murder us so often that we start to enjoy it. Just one more time!
[Thanks, billymagnum]

Light is, by most accounts, a pretty good thing. It’s warm, it makes plants grow and, perhaps most importantly, allows us to see. At least, that was its most important function. Now, thanks to Alan Wake, we know that light’s ultimate purpose is to disintegrate monsters. In the small mountain town of Bright Falls, a simple flashbang becomes a weapon of mass destruction and an ordinary road flare is transmogrified from a beacon of hope to a harbinger of doom.
If you don’t believe us, check out the new teaser — part of a week-long Alan Wake feature at 1UP — after the break.

BioWare has just released a new trailer for Mass Effect 2, featuring the exploits of strategic tactician “Commander Shepard the Engineer” and his murderous robot. Much like the first game, engineer class players will rely more heavily on strategery and tech management than direct confrontation.
Lead gameplay designer Christina Norman guides us through some combat-heavy gameplay, which depicts the aforementioned android aggressor along with some cool abilities, like freezing enemies on the spot and hacking mechanized enemies. Oh, Mass Effect 2, you had us at killer ‘bot.
