Here’s the first trailer for ‘BioShock Infinite’ out in 2012 (Trailer is available in Standard Definition and High Definition):

This is the first ‘BioShock Infinite’ trailer from Irrational Games studios. Bioshock, without a doubt, is one of the best selling game franchises in the past few years.

From the game’s website:

“BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter currently in development at Irrational Games, the studio behind the original BioShock (which sold over 4 million units worldwide). Set in 1912, BioShock Infinite introduces an entirely new narrative and gameplay experience that lifts players out of the familiar confines of Rapture and rockets them to Columbia, an immense city in the sky.

Former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt has been sent to rescue Elizabeth, a young woman imprisoned in Columbia since childhood. Booker develops a relationship with Elizabeth, augmenting his abilities with hers so the pair may escape from a city that is literally falling from the sky. DeWitt must learn to fight foes in high-speed Sky-Line battles, engage in combat both indoors and amongst the clouds, and harness the power of dozens of new weapons and abilities. “

Activision and Treyarch studios announced yesterday that there will be two collectors editions of their upcoming game ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’. The contents of each package are at the bottom of the page.

According to Treyarch’s website “The follow up to the Best Selling Game of All Time, Call of Duty: Black Ops is an entertainment experience that will take you to conflicts across the globe, as elite Black Ops forces fight in the deniable operations and secret wars that occurred under the veil of the Cold War.”

‘Call of Duty: Back Ops’ is out November 9, 2010 and will be available on PC, Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS

Here’s the trailer for the Hardened and Prestige Editions of ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ (Available in Standard Definition and High Definition):

Today Rockstar Games released their ‘Legends and Killers’ pack for the best selling game ‘Red Dead Redemption’.

Here’s the Trailer:

According to the press release from Rockstar Games:

The Legends and Killers Pack for Red Dead Redemption is now available for download to your PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, via PlayStation Network ($9.99) and Xbox LIVE (800 Microsoft Points) respectively. This pack features 9 new multiplayer map locations including Blackwater, Fort Mercer, Thieves’ Landing, Tall Trees and other favorite locations from the game world, doubling the amount of competitive multiplayer territories and providing over 30 new game variations.

Also included in the Legends and Killers Pack are 8 new multiplayer characters from Red Dead Revolver, Rockstar San Diego’s 2004 take on the myths and legends of the American West originally released for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. Play as Red Harlow, Jack Swift, Shadow Wolf and more…

Plus a devastating new weapon – the Tomahawk, which functions as both a projectile and a melee weapon and features it’s own set of unique single player challenges. All this, as well as 10 new Achievements/Trophies to unlock and add to your collection.

This is a new feature we are adding today to AZ Vibe (along with the site re-design) called Fun Time!  From time to time, we’re going to add some posts that have to do with just fun stuff.  They may be time wasters, there may be something funny, it could be anything.

Who knows what will be posted next.

We start this new feature with a Game from Adult Swim called ‘Five Minutes to Kill 2′.  This game is very simple.  You have five minutes to kill yourself.  However, the trick is to find the right combination of objects that will kill yourself in five minutes.

I know it sounds weird but once you check it out you will find this game very addicting.

Enjoy!
