Unreal II & More Game Movies

The Unreal II: The Awakening Media Index on GameSpot now offers free downloads of a new Unreal II movie, as well as a couple of other movies that can only be accessed by subscribers to their complete service. Also, there's a new Iritor Online Trailer on RPG Vault, featuring "A look at a mech entering a hive-like colony of the Mutaloi, an insect-like species in Wootsoft's online world." Also, three new Tomb Raider movies are available, which are part of a planned promotional campaign between Eidos and G4 (the game cable television channel). The movies can be found on Gamer's Hell and Worthplaying. Meanwhile, on the console front, there's a new Halo 2 movie on Xbox.Com (thanks Gamer's Hell, though they point out this is actually just a succession of still images), and a new English Soul Calibur 2 Official Site is online with a new gameplay trailer from this fighting game sequel. Finally, there's a Devastation movie on Worthplaying, but this was released over the summer, so if you've been keeping up with this, you are already set.

Until games are sufficiently diverse enough to appeal to a wide range of consumers as, say, movies are, they will not be able to get by on disingenuous marketing techniques (like game movies). In the near-vertical market of the boy-gamer, pay-to-preview will never work.

- The video/computer-games market already surpasses the film industry in gross sales (in the U.S. at least).

- It may irritate you (like it irritates me) that there will be only Unreal2 videos rather than a demo, but there is nothing "disingenuous" about marketing the game this way.
