For those of you who do not remember, a few months ago there was an internet uproar once the official cover art for Bioshock Infinite was revealed. Everyone was throwing a digital fit because they did not approve of the artwork as it gave the impression that the game was just another run-of-the-mill first person shooter. After seeing the cover for myself I agreed that it did not convey the imaginative world and mysterious atmosphere that Bioshock is normally known for.

The folks at IGN have uploaded a new trailer for the upcoming Deadpool game developed by High Moon Studios. I really had no interest in the game when I first heard of its existence but after watching the trailer I am getting a bit more interested in the game. I really love how they are trying to capture the humor and staples such as “breaking the 4th wall” and all of the crazy over-the-top action that the comic series is known for. If Highmoon Studios can nail the gameplay then I think it might be safe to say that we have a winner in our hands later this year when it hits the PS3 and Xbox. -M
