The first Dead Space game, released in 2008, was strickly a single player experience but that won't be the case for the upcoming sequel. Today it was revealed that the first info on Dead Space 2's multiplayer features will be coming late on Friday.

As with other big game reveals, the secrets behind the multiplayer modes for Electronic Arts' sci-fi survival horror sequel will come from Spike TV's GameTrailers show to be shown at 12:30 am Friday night (or Saturday morning if you want to be technical). Dead Space 2, from developer Visceral Games, is currrently due for release on January 25, 2011.

We've already mentioned that LucasArts will have a big reveal of their next original game in just a few hours on GameTrailers TV but that's not all the news they will be revealing on the Spike TV-based show. According to yet another "tweet" from the show's host Geoff Keighley LucasArts will have another announcement related to its Steam game download deal as well.

LucasArts made a number of its classic PC games available via Steam just a couple of months ago (they later appeared on Direct2Drive) and just a few days ago they released Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic as a PAX 2009 promotion via Steam and Direct2Drive.GameTrailers TV appears on Spike TV tonight at 12:30 am ET.

LucasArts has mostly been concentrating on its own franchises for a little while with upcoming games like Star Wars: The Old Republic and others. But they have some original game plans in the works as well and one of them is slated to be revealed early on Friday morning.

That's when Spike TV's GameTrailersTV will have the first word and first footage of the currently unannounced game, according to a "tweet" from its host Geoff Keighley. The show starts at 12:30 am ET on Friday on Spike. In another "tweet" Keighley states, "There are lots of other surprises in this week's show from LucasArts. We haven't announced it all yet."

Zombies invade Gametrailers TV (GTTV), a regular internet show featured on Gametrailers.com. In the latest episode, the crew visits Valve at its Seattle studio and talks to Gabe Newell about upcoming projects, including whether or not fans should still be holding their breath for Half-Life 2 Episode 3. The show also gets an in-depth run down of Left 4 Dead 2, its characters and gameplay. Additionally, the show has an exclusive first-look at the upcoming Left 4 Dead Crash Course DLC due out in September. The level is so new Valve doesn't even have a name for it yet. If all that wasn't enough, Gabe is asked to choose between two babies - whether to develop a new Counter-Strike or Portal 2. Gabe asks viewers to write in a ranked list of the sequels they'd like to see developed first, so get to emailing and share your thoughts! The GTTV episode can be seen after the jump.

E3 2009 is returning (almost) to its larger trade show roots and that will definately include the return of the booth babes to the exhibit hall area. Spike TV knows this as well and for its upcoming Gametrailers.TV pre-E3 2009 special they are breaking out not one but two Hollywood actresses-babes.

Rose McGowan, who is handling the voice for one of the characters in the just released Terminator: Salvation, is being promoted as the co-host (with Geoff Keighley) of the special and Number Six herself Tricia Helfer also will make an appearance (no word as to why yet). The special itself was taped outside E3's venue (the LA Convention Center) and Spike TV states it will have a number of "exclusives" including new gameplay footage from Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Aliens Vs Predator and more. The special will be shown on Spike TV at 11 pm on Thursday and of course will be posted on Gametrailers.TV afterwards.

We've already seen some screenshots of Treyarch's Call of Duty 5 -- err, Call of Duty: World at War. You might be wondering "where's the footage" though, right? You can't judge a game by a video, it's true, but you surely can get a better sense with a video than with still images.

Well, it turns out the wait will be a short one. GameTrailers TV -- which first airs on the Spike TV cable channel, and later appears at www.gametrailers.com -- will debut World at War footage during this Friday's episode. The show airs at 1:00 AM EST (so, for many people, we suppose it'll technically be Saturday, but whatev). Check it out if you have any interest.

Better yet, just wait for it to pop up online. Let's face it -- this is a World War II shooter. It's hard to get excited about those anymore, no matter how much "reinvention" is promised. The modern desert setting is getting just as tired, though, so ... what next?
