Puppeteer(the first link) looks really interesting. I'm looking forward to hearing more about that one.

Kinda looks like a kindred spirit to Dynamite Headdy.

Rain looks....artsy. I'm not really thinking "fun", but it's interesting.

Rain looks like The Sun Always Lies (only better).

I was wondering why I hadn't heard anything about Microsoft- then I read that they didn't go to Gamescom this year and that they won't be at the Tokyo Game Show either. This generation started out so well for them; I really don't understand why they aren't supporting their hardware better. They've been dropping the ball since ~2010.

There's a longer trailer to Metal Gear Rising.

It has some new stuff at the end(it's a dog).

Also, the trailer to Dark Souls: Prepare To Die, has some cool stuff in it.

Here's the links:

Brief Play Description:
You are invisible. Arrow keys move you. The rain is your friend. The sun is a liar.
Pffffhh-hahahaha Oh my fuck, that is funny.

Oh, yeah. That sounds like a great game. Tell me all about the clouds that make your avatar cry unless you press delete at right time, which in itself symbolizes the courageous wiping out of unpleasant emotions in the face of adversity.

Hacks/charlatans/etc are not useless at all. They're some of the most unintentionally hilarious comedians ever. Though I prefer Louis C.K.'s warped sense of humor, personally. But this shit definitely has its place.
