Great trailer.
How much of that can I do in the game?
 
Jumping blind off a cliff onto a monorail looks cool.  but unless your onboard computer thing is gonig to tell you things like that; I can't see it working.
 
And I have to agree with a few people here; other than to use the cool plane bit at the begining, in what sense is this Prey in any way shape or form?  It is really to cash in on that important Prey recognition?

STO was pretty bad.  I understand they are trying to improve it but it issues at it's very core.  Anything ground based just wasn't fun; when it's half your game that's a pretty big flaw.  That is just the first on a very long list of things wrong with that game.  
 
I hope Cryptic improve, I really do.  Good luck to them.

@Wrighteous86: 
I'd have been cool with Yoda only fighting with the force, using it is cool ways.  I'm even ok with him owning a lightsaber as it is the symbol of a Jedi.  And using force to fight with it I can agree with.  
But it's the flipping, and throwing out of these generic same leveled powers that was just silly.  
 
You don't get that what Yoda could do was special in any way.   It's just a game of anything you can do, I can do better using the same powers and abilities at eachother.
 
Also the flipping and jumping made no tactical sence from a fighting point of view.   He was smaller and could move around earier, so he had an advantage in that way  and should have been constantly going for the legs.  Instead he leaves himself open for attack multiple himes by blindly jumping.  It's just silly.
 
No matter the acting issues of being told there is a 3 foot CG green rat with a laser sword flying around you and you have to fight it.

"I especially remember seeing the second one in the theater as a kid and my jaw dropping and me going "WOAH!" when Yoda whipped out that lightsaber. "
I remember being a kid and groaning, and suddenly becoming very embarrassed by the series. "
I had the same reaction! 
It was about that point I felt embarrassed  to be in that movie theater.  And I (while drunk) sat through all of Epic Movie (though I was retrained from leaving by other people after 10 minutes).  
If you don't understand why Yoda was a badass before he eve3r showed he had a lightsaber he used; watch and try to resolve him fighting in the senate to being a homeless annoying dude on a planet  who fights R2D2 with a cane for shiney bits of plastic.  Seriously, just go and try to merge those two people together mentally.  If you can do it, you are a better person than I.  And before you say he got old, noone gets that old in 20 years.
 
No it's because for all practical reasons they are different characters.  One is eccentric, wise and leading a monk like life.  While the other is a superpowered bouncing ball with a light saber; its metroid.  One is a monk who can teavh you things about an old religion, the other is Samus getting power ups.

" i thnik episode 3 is far better than the other two "
Anakin was very cold and emotionless with some sort of inner battle gonig on.  However based on the acting in the previous movie (and having suffered through 'Shattered Glass'); that appeared to be Hayden Chistenwhoeverheis trying to act and remember his lines.
Three still had terrible dialogue, terrible acting, the terrible CG sets and every single scene had CG in it with no exception.  Every single one.

If it's not in the public eye, for various reasons; is it surprising we haven't heard of them?  Or we don't know they are out there, we aren't going to look for, or find them.  They need to raise their profile; it's a problem on their side, not mine.   IF I check 4 gaming sites daily and never come across them they are clearly doing something wrong if they want me to check them out.
 
Also as with most awards its a popularity contest.  Generally speaking one of the top 3 most popular games of the year will win.   Which tends to mean top selling (either overall or on a platform)
 
As for awards like music; its harder to say why some things are nominated over others.  
However Demons souls was a very niche title, and L4D2 is already, but not as fresh as the first one.  I played the first one for months after release, right up till L4D2 came out.  But I stopped playing L4D2 a month or so after.   And a lot of people liked MW2 a metric assload for some reason.

XBL marketplace could easily sell it.  
 Just has to put up an adult only section somehow and a verification?
 
And I'm pretty sure there the kinect was just being used as a mouse pointer.  No actual sort of clever kinect interface.
 
I wonder how easily the kinect detects wangs.  And if people will ask for their money back when the kinect can't detect it...

 I've only seen season 1 and a few eps of season 2 of the clone wars, so I can't say where it goes there.   
  
But I still don't know why he doesn't blame the people behind the war for what happens to him and those around him.  And if it is his padawan (or something happening to her) that turns him darkside, I really can't see any event that would turn him to Palpatine more and make sence, so that after he finds out the Emperor is behind everything.
Well there is one thing; which is Anakin killing her, however I struggle to find a good reason for to do that when he has sent out of his way not to kill people previously, and it would take major character development, or out of character behavour for it to work. 
 
And if that happened, and even if Anakin covered it up, you'd hope they would have an investagation team and some sort of support network to make sure he was ok, should pretending to not have feeling not work out in the stressful emotional time.
