The planeswalkers in Magic: The Gathering Tactics are perhaps the most important part of the game, as they represent the player. This trailer depicts each of the five available, with each being associated with a particular color: red, green, black, white, and blue. All five are taken from the Magic: The Gathering expansion Lorwyn. There's nothing especially new and stunning about this trailer, but if you'd like an up close look at the characters and their animations, here's your chance!

Every villain needs a place to bunk down for the night, and this trailer for DC Universe Online shows off one of these spots. A supervillain lair with a nightclub facade, it appears to be the safe spot for many underworld baddies, with the prominent Two-Face making a cameo appearance. beyond that, it's characteristic of any MMO hub zone: mail, vendors, questgivers, and queues for instancing and PvP. Nothing particularly special, except perhaps in the lore.

Given all of the in-game footage we've seen of DC Universe Online, the developers are certainly welcome to throw in a cinematic trailer. They've done just that, and the result is this highly-polished cinematic detailing the events leading to lux Luthor's arrival in the past. With a futuristic Batman, menacing robots, a new (and quickly dispatched!) hero, and Lux Luthor's treachery, it hits the sweet spot for DC Comics lovers out there. The visuals are also quite excellent, especially all the particle effects and fluid movements.

More mana, you ask? Yes indeed, Sony responds, and from the depths of their MMO offices comes this thoroughly standard and average trailer. Much like the previous trailers for Magic: The Gathering Tactics, this one talks about the various creatures that a planewalker can summon of a particular type. In this case, it's green creatures, and the general theme is that of the natural. Woodland animals and elementals are common in the green domain, and this trailer definitely reflects that.

The newest Magic: The Gathering Tactics trailer visits yet another one of the five elemental colors. This time, it is black: the color of death, despair, and hopelessness. Like one would expect, the creatures of black are either eldritch horrors or monstrosities brought forth by death-defying magic. Zombies, gigantic spiders, black knights, and massive winged demons are all creatures that swear their allegiance to a wielder of black mana. In other words, these are all the creatures you can summon in Tactics!

The two latest trailers for the now-released DC Universe Online are interesting. While they appear at first to be complete opposites, that is, in fact, how they are connected. The first, above, is a brief rundown of the tutorial zone through the eyes of a new player. He (or she) must flee Brainiac's ship with the aid of The Oracle, and rendezvous with Superman along the way. The second, after the cut, covers the endgame dungeons and raids, including the wrapping up of the Brainiac plotline in the Batcave. If you're curious how your game will look at the start and at its conclusion, these two trailers will show you!

Magic: The Gathering is such an in-depth card game that many find it daunting to approach it. Five different colors, all the different color combinations, tons of different types of cards, and plenty of rare and useful cards to acquire. Naturally, those going into Magic: The Gathering Tactics will be a little confused if they haven't played the core game, which is where this trailer comes in. It details the creatures inherent to blue mana while showing that they share common themes: flying, magic, and/or water-based minions. There's not much else to it, although the graphics certainly look slick.

DC Universe Online launches today, and those that decide to delve into the DC continuity with characters of their own will find a plethora of goodies awaiting them. This trailer doesn't really show any of that, though. It's mostly a pretty CGI trailer mixed with some normal gameplay footage, and while it's not that informative, it definitely gives us a good general feel of the game. DC Universe Online is a game that wants you to feel the weight of both combat and the story, and this trailer definitely gives that impression!

Another trailer for DC Universe Online has popped up, and this time it's an alert zone! The zone in question is OOlong Island, a small island in the Sotuh Seas that appears to be swarming with androids and other experiments. WIth mad scientists, elemental research, and a grinning egg on spider legs, it certainly looks like an interesting - if unintentionally hilarious - alert zone. As with Blüdhaven, this appears to be a zone based around finding and eliminating one dagnerous superhuman more than anything else, although this alert zone is not quite so steeped in DC lore.

During the Infinite Crisis even in DC continuity, the supervillain Chemo was dropped on the city of Blüdhaven, Nightwing's home city. It has been a while since the devastation, and the city is filled with toxic waste and mutated creatures everywhere. The latest trailer for DC Universe Online explores the efforts of the DC universe to clean up Blüdhaven, and it gives a good look into the mechanics of alert zones. It's also interesting to note that both heroes and villains want to clean up the city. Are the villains out to rebuild so that they can re-establish a base of power within the city? Who knows!
