We just recently posted about the Battlefield 2 beta that will be opening. After watching this video I definitely want to get in on it. Pretty good looking stuff going on in the trailer here’s hoping the gameplay is as good as the video.

The part where he uses his grenade launcher to open the side of the building and get a kill was sweet.

When was the last time you enjoyed a Sonic the Hedgehog game? I honestly can’t remember. Well Sonic Unleashed might just change that. This debut trailer gives me some hope that I might enjoy a Sonic game once again. No release date yet but look for it on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Got Rainbow Six: Vegas 2? Already tired of all the multiplayer maps and ready for a new one? Yeah! Comcast has got you covered. Think of this as more of actual “game” advertising, not just “in-game” advertising. Comcast, you know, the cable company, has decided to offer a free Vegas 2 map entitled the “Comcast Event Map”, ta da! You don’t have to be a Comcast subscriber to get’ em either, you don’t even have to like Comcast (just don’t tell them).

Here’s what you gotta do. Load up the game, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. Go to the “Extras” menu from the main screen. Select “Comcast Gift” from the options. Then, enter the code “Comcast Faster” (without the quotes) when prompted and enjoy the new multi-player map.

If you’re a PC gamer, you’ll have to wait. Sorry, no map for you just yet. However, you can keep checking back at this link. They say they’ll have the map for you guys soon.

Boom!

While I’m not a huge fan of racing games, Dirt is my favorite racing game maybe of all time. The guys behind Dirt, Codemasters, have a new racing game coming out this summer called Grid. Check out the video after the break. This game looks pretty darn impressive just by the video. Codemasters seem to have it down when it comes to racing games.

In other Codemasters news. Somehow we let a huge game slip through the cracks this winter. A PC exclusive……. DIRTY DANCING the game!!!! All I have to say is “IT’S ABOUT TIME!!!”

Xbox 360 vs Playstation 3

Could it be? Does the PS3 have more and better exclusives this year? Looks like 2008 may possibly be the year of the Playstation, again. Just like old times.

Is it just me or is almost every big game coming out this year a sequel? No matter what console you’re on. Either way, you got to be excited about something on the list. If the majority of these games actually release this year, wow. But does anyone really expect that? So, let’s jump in and analyze the exclusives. Note, this list in no way represents the entire list of exclusive titles for each console. It does, however, represent what we at Counteragent think are the biggest exclusives most likely to actually be released this calender year.

I’m generally not a big fan of these small downloadable arcade games, however, many companies have been putting a lot more effort into making them more worth your 10-15 dollars. Capcom has to be one of the foremost of these companies. At their recent conference, Digital Day, they announced quite a number of upcoming downloadable arcade games, most of which are remakes of existing franchises.

Enter Rocketmen: Axis of Evil, not an existing franchise in the video game world, it is an existing game franchise, as in collectible card game. Capcom hasn’t exactly reinvented the wheel, or the arcade game, but they have included a number of great features to stretch your gameplay dollar. Some of these include 4 player drop in drop out co-op gameplay throughout the entire game. Customizable stats, semi-custom characters, and a good amount of powerups.

Keep reading for the giveaway details and the entire review.

Ever dream of having a sweet 3 blade head slicing throwing weapon that becomes apart of you? Well if you do dream of that then head down to your local video game store and pre order Dark Sector. The game comes out March 25th and looks pretty good.

I’ve watched a few videos of the gameplay and the more see the more excited. I’m looking forward to it and in the video after the break you get a little glimpse of the Chromas. These are some pretty hardcore looking baddies.

We’ve heard it all before “MOVIE GAMES SUCK!!!” Unfortunately that is really true. I’ve tried to think of one good one and I really can’t. Maybe the Iron Man game will be good? At least this video looks pretty good. It’s pretty and action packed. Worst thing about the upcoming game and movie…. we will all be sick of the song “Iron Man”. Enjoy!
