Those Xbox 360 marketers, always on a mission to be different, hip and creative in their commercial campaigns. Not that that is a bad thing or anything, it's just a fact that we've learned to embrace. And so, when a friend of mine mentioned that he saw a new Fall Xbox 360 commercial on the boob tube the other night (something about parachutes, couches and people running) I had to see it. With a piqued interest, I frantically searched for said commercial, finally stumbling upon it over at Game Trailers. Behold fanboys, a commercial featuring parachutes, couches and people running ... Xbox 360 style. (PS: A video game slide is one great idea.)

Video: Capcom's Dark Void is full of jet packs
Dark Void. Sounds like a great name for a sci-fi adventure game if we ever heard one. It kind of reminds us of darkness and big empty voids ... maybe that's what the marketing team behind the name was going for. The name also reminds us of space travel, jet packs, gyroscopes and a hero who isn't afraid of punching the daylights out of a person who gets up in his face. And that friends is exactly what Capcom's newly announced sci-fi action game Dark Void is all about or so we think. Because we sort of based all those facts off our experience of watching the game's official trailer that's embedded above. Go ahead, take in the Dark Void and enjoy.

Grunt says "Hey demon, the jerk store is out of you"
We've got another video for you today featuring our favorite little Covenant species from Halo 3 in Easter Egg goodness. Viewable above is videos showcasing the "Jerk Grunt" who can be found in Halo 3's last Warthog level and when cornered, he'll spit out some evil stuff. Really, this Grunt is one cocky little guy who isn't afraid to make fun of Master Chief or his past. The specifics for finding this potty-mouthed Grunt are explained at the end of the video, because you just may want to find and kick him into the lava for all the stuff he says. Or you could spare his life and make him your personal helmet shining slave. 'Tis your choice.
Video: Opening Lost Odyssey cinematic
Mmm, what's better than pre-rendered Japanese video game opening cinematic sequences that are based on massively in depth RPGs? Answer: not much. Embedded above is one of those movie quality opening cinematic from Mistwalker's Lost Odyssey. And after watching it, we bet you can't contain your urge to want to play the game, rent a horribly translated Japanese movie or at the very least order some Japanese food. Yes sir, it's that enjoyable and now we know why the game comes on four DVDs. Pre-rendered HD video eats last-gen media formats alive.

Soldier of Fortune: Payback will tear you apart
Activision just announced another installment into the Soldier of Fortune franchise and if the in-game footage above is any inclination to what the game has to offer, then we're in for a bloody good time.
Soldier of Fortune: Payback is set to release this November and will feature thirty plus weapons, a plentiful array of weapons and the typical mercenaries gameplay Soldier of Fortune games offer up. But let's get back to the in-game footage as seen in the video embedded above. Do you see the amount of blood that comes out of those guys, how their legs, arms, and heads pop off and how they crawl in agony on the ground legless, grasping for help? That's butter! And even though we aren't sure how good the game will end up being as a whole, we can definitely say that we enjoy the bloody dismemberment effects. Next-gen dismemberment FTW!

New live action Halo 3 video amazes [update]
Just when you thought you couldn't handle anymore Halo 3 media we found a brand new live action Neill Blomkamp Halo 3 short available exclusively over at Discovery.com.
This new short is a follow up to the Arms Race video released during E3 and is either the second or third in the video short series seeing that some of the footage looks to be from the second leaked video. Anyway, the new nameless short clocks in at a few minutes in length and features an intense battle between a squad of UNSC marines and Covenant forces (including a few Brutes with some nasty Spikers) while they desperately await Master Chief's help. Seriously, seeing a Brute beat a marine to a bloody pulp with a gravity hammer is crazy cool in a twisted kind of way. And also be sure to watch until the end, because you'll see a Brute get exploded by a rocket launcher which, in our book, is worth the price of admission. Kaboom, kaboom and happy viewing.
[Thanks, muffin man]

Video: Two new Halo 3 Believe commercials
Continuing the Halo 3 Believe commercial legacy are two brand new videos, "Enemy Weapon" and "Hunted". Embedded above is the Enemy Weapon commercial in which two retired UNSC soldiers take a stroll through the war museum and talk about the weapons of war. This commercial is good ... really good. The other Believe commercial gem, Hunted (which is posted after the break), is a soldier's account of a hold out where he walks through the darkened forest and talks about the time his squad was hunted by Covenant forces and could only wait for Master Chief to save them. As always, both Believe commercials roxorz and should make you either get misty eyed or make you sniffle a bit. What more can we say, give 'em a watch fanboys.
