It’s been a few weeks since we last posted an edition of Trailer Madness, and we’ve got a ton of video to catch up on. To start things off, we’ve got the Arkham Asylum sequel trailer that premiered at Spike TV’s video game awards show. We follow that up with a “Battlefield Moments” segment from Battlefield Bad Company 2. Then an interview with Stan Lee about Super Hero Squad Show. After that it’s on to some insanity with some Muscle March gameplay footage. And those are just four of the 20 videos we’ve got this week. Enjoy!

We’ve also got a fourth developer diary for James Cameron’s Avatar game. And last, but certainly not least, we’ve embedded a video courtesy of Rockstar for Red Dead Redemption.

E3 has come and gone. John and Bill offer their impressions on this year’s biggest gaming event.

It is hard to argue with the claim that Microsoft ran away with the most buzz surrounding its next fiscal year, and Nintendo recognized their hardcore gamer mistreatment and addressed it in a big way. Sony, for me, left an underwhelming sense of “That’s it?” from a show that really needed to boost their presence. (more…)

And the fun goes on out in Los Angeles with the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo. We’ve wrapped up what will probably be the final E3 news post, with information on Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Telltale and more.

John and Bill will also be weighing in tomorrow with some commentary on this year’s announcements.
