Need For Speed: Undercover will be in stores November 18th but EA still hasn’t officially announced the release, thanks to the internet the trailer was leaked and you can watch it here.

UPDATE: I’ve had two different people email me to confirm this is in fact the trailer for Need For Speed: Undercover. One’s a tester, the other was involved in its production. The trailer says it’s coming out Nov. 18.

The trailer also points you to a website — Which Road to Take — which features a video screen of a police interrogation gone to the dogs. Click on the video’s hotspots and you can see other teases about the game’s story. Many readers have pointed out that the timestamp on the video always reads 08.20.08 — could that be the “official” reveal date? If so, someone seriously broke their NDA by getting this trailer out.Owen Good, Kotaku - July 27, 2008

EA Sports gives us a preview of two new updates that Madden NFL 09 will feature when it’s released this August 12th.

First you will take the ‘Madden IQ Test’ where you can build up your gridiron skills with the virtual trainer that calculates your “Madden IQ” based on your practice in 12 different drills.

The game’s difficulty adjusts itself to the player’s Madden IQ rating.

Another new feature for Madden NFL 09 is EA Sports Backtrack that analyzes the player’s playing ability and points out mistakes during gameplay.

Far Cry 2 seems to be coming along nicely with Ubisoft Montreal developing and using Ubisoft’s impressive Dunia Engine running on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 & PC hardware.

The game will take a turn to the more realistic side with enemies to feature human mercenaries, with sci-fi creatures such as the mutants from Far Cry will not be featured. Furthermore, the player’s feral abilities introduced in Far Cry Instincts and its expansions will not be returning in Far Cry 2. A dynamic weather system has been added that varies the weather based on the players ability - if the player is doing exceptionally well the sky will be clear and sunny, but if problems arise the sky will dark and stormy.

More added realism features the player having to use a map and compass to get around, having to use tools to dig bullets out of the body and pat themselves down when on fire. Several species of African wildlife can be encountered in the game, and will be able to distract the enemy as well as make them aware of your presence.

Here is the latest preview video showing off 360 & PS3 builds of the game:

Activision just released this new trailer featuring their upcoming Guitar Hero: World Tour which will add vocals and drums are added to the mix - allowing you to play and record your own tracks.
