[Video] Call of Duty: World at War – Zombies

Call of Duty: World at War showcased it’s bonus mode “Nacht der untoten.” Essentially, when a player finishes the main campaign the bonus mode is unlocked. This allows the player to go online with three other friends and battle hordes of Nazi Zombies. Check out the sneak peek below.

[Video] Tomb Raider: Underworld – Thai Temple Gameplay

The video below is a bit distorted, but it shows some gameplay footage from the upcoming game Tomb Raider: Underworld. The game doesn’t look half bad, and it’s definitely creeping higher up on my To Buy List. I might have to hold off until I can find a used copy though, or the game starts getting some spectacular reviews.

[Trailer] Valkyrie Gets One Last Trailer

Bryan Singer’s Valkyrie has one last trailer making the rounds before its release. United Artists’ WWII thriller starring Tom Cruise will be in theaters starting December 26. It’s still a little weird that none of the actors have German accents, but the film does look like it could be decent.

[Game] Splitter

Splitter is a fun physics-based game where you have to get the smiley-faced ball to the brown spot by cutting through wood or strings. It’s an easy game to get started, but it has its challenges. I don’t know what level I was on when I stopped playing, but it was frustrating.

[Video] The Cab – “Bounce” Music Video

The Cab have released their video for the song “Bounce,” from their debut album Whisper War (out now on Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen Records). The video was directed by Jordan Barrow. You can check out the video here.
