What’s the best way to play a real-time strategy war game? Is it with a joystick or power gloves? In this live-action trailer for Anomaly: Warzone Earth, scientists undergo tests to determine the perfect input device needed to achieve the best experience while playing this game.
Most gamers will be familiar with the typical tower defense formula, but in Anomaly: Warzone Earth, players take on the towers instead of building them. The trailer doesn’t show too much actual gameplay, but at least a flashback through various old controllers is kind of fun to watch.
Lollipop Chainsaw releases April 24, 2012 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The history behind the Witchers is guarded mystery and CD Projekt RED has released Part 1 of a trailer series that will go in-depth behind these monster slayers from The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition.
