DC Universe Online looks to take on the established superhero MMOs, and this trailer certainly shows it. While there's nothing particularly new in this trailer, it shows off the three things we're sure players want most: DC characters interacting with players, player customization of heroes, and the choice to be good or evil. The combat looks similar to City of Heroes, and the presentation looks similar to Champions Online, but there's not really much that can be done about that. After all, it is the third MMO to tackle super-hero comics. There's only so much you can do to differentiate yourself! Still, if you are excited for DCUO, this wlil be a great trailer. Otherwise, it won't change your mind at all.

FEAR is well-known, as a series, for its incredibly creepy atmosphere. It blends high-octane gunfights with a paranormal plot surprisingly well, especially given the science-fiction nature of it all. Despite not being made by the folks at Monolith, FEAR 3 looks to be shaping up like its predecessors: a scary, gory, and altogether fun game. This trailer doesn't really give any new insights into the game, but it is certainly cool!

Of note here are the new civilian enemies (looking surprisingly like zombies!), Paxton Fettel's head explosion powers, and a sweet mechanized suit to blow enemies away in. Otherwise, it's the same old disturbing, Alma-laden atmosphere we know and love. Still, it's gameplay footage, which is more than we can say about a lot of trailers nowadays.

This latest cinematic trailer for The Lord of the Rings: War in the North demonstrates how brutal the fighting can be, even when there isn't a ring to protect. The game - which takes place in the northern reaches of Middle-earth - is currently expected to release in 2011 and will feature 3-player cooperative multiplayer using a variety of different character races using upgradeable weapons, skills and abilities.

The OnLive streaming PC game service has only been available to the public for 10 days now but the company has given some more info about the launch on its official blog site. According to the statement from its CEO Steve Perlman the OnLive servers have been "running 24/7 since launch, with games being played every day, around the clock, from every corner of the 48 States, despite the fact we've accommodated far more members at this stage than ever anticipated." Perlman did not state how many people have subscribed and Big Download was also unable to get a specific number from their PR rep late last week.

Perlman has also said the service has encountered some small bugs since the launch although he was not more specific than that. He also states, " ... while we have been installing data center capacity as quickly as we can, it looks like it will be about a week until we've balanced capacity across all US Internet regions"

Perlman also said that OnLive has scored its first day-and-date game release with Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4. The full version of the game will be made available for purchase on the OnLive service at 12:01 am PST tonight (that's 3:01 am Eastern time). A contest has also been announced that will net the first person who completes the full game on the OnLive service an iPad.

This is the playable demo for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, giving players an early look at the game before it release in North America on June 29th. Continue after the jump for system requirements.

The last episode of PC game highlights at E3 2010 is also the most action packed! On our final day, we ponder what it means to be human in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Then we continue the future war with a look at Blacklight: Tango Down before completely changing gears for an up-close look at the dark fantasy role-playing game, The Witcher 2. We're still trying to decide whether F.E.A.R. 3 is a story of brotherly love or sibling rivalry, but nothing can stand in the way when super reflexes, guns, mechanized armor and psychic powers all work together.

In MMOs, we explore the land of TERA and learn to build a kingdom from scratch in LEGO Universe. We see how well Lara Croft plays well with others in Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light. Finally, the bullets really start to fly with Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days and Call of Duty: Black Ops. Altogether, it's a supersized final episode.

Lego Universe has been in development for a long time at Netdevil but the family friendly MMO game had not yet announced who would be handling its distribution to stores. Today Warner Bros. Interactive announced it is stepping in to distribute Lego Universe.

For some reason the first trailers have have promoted the upcoming shooter sequel F.E.A.R. 3 have been a weird mix of animation and live-action gameplay. Now GameTrailers.com has put out the first actual trailer showing real gameplay footage from the title that's due out late in 2010 from developer Day 1 Studios and publisher Warner Bros Interactive.

We get to see a lot of shooting from super soldier Point Man in the trailer and we also see his telekinetic (and dead) brother Paxton Fettel doing his own brand of damage on normal humans. You can check out the gameplay trailer after the jump and then download the previous three live action trailers from us.

Actor Mark Hamill is almost as well known for his voice work as the Joker compared to his role in some cult sci-fi film trilogy (Star . . Trek? Fight?..we can't remember offhand). He started his terrific performace work on the original Batman The Animated Series and has since voiced the Joker in a ton of TV shows, movies, DVDs and games including last year's hit Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Hamill will also voice the Joker in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum sequel (which doesn't yet have an official title) but after that project his done, so is Hamill in his role as perhaps the greatest comic book villain of all time. IGN reports that Hamill has confirmed, ""This will be my last, there's no question about that. But it's the last hurrah."

In F.E.A.R. 3, players have the choice of either taking the role of the Point Man from the original game or as the powerful psychic Paxton Fettel. As demonstrated by this trailer, Fettel's non-corporeal nature comes in pretty handy. He can take over the bodies of replica soldiers and avoid damage from conventional weapons. That leads us to wonder why anyone wouldn't choose to play as Fettel. We'll see how well the two brothers play together when F.E.A.R. 3 releases this fall.
