Earlier today, publisher Paramount Digital Entertainment confirmed that Star Trek will be coming to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in the summer of 2012. The plainly titled “Star Trek” will be the first Trek game to ever embrace J.J. Abrams' vision of the franchise—which is fantastic news because of how awesome 2009's Star Trek movie was!

The completely original story penned by God of War writer, Marianne Krawczyk and Star Trek (2009) film writers, Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman will cast players as Kirk and Spock in a stand alone adventure battling a legendary foe hellbent on ruling the galaxy.

“Star Trek challenges the boundaries of co-op gameplay with a galactic adventure that gamers and fans have never experienced,” said Tom Lesinski, President of Paramount Digital Entertainment. “Working closely with the Star Trek filmmaking team throughout development, the game is sure to deliver AAA production values, a wide variety of gameplay and all the action you would expect from the hit franchise. This will be the definitive Star Trek gaming experience.”

Development duties for Star Trek will be handled by the very exceptional Digital Extremes, who's previous works include Unreal Tournament, Dark Sector and Bioshock 2.

With as much as Star Trek the game has going for it, it would be a tragedy if it didn't deliver. Here's hoping that this is the game that Star Trek fans (like me) have been waiting for!

To celebrate our most recent addition to the KontrolFreek arsenal, the Rcade Freek, we've teamed up with HipHopGamer, Mahalo Video Games, Brutal Gamer, Classic Game Room and TheGamersHub to give one lucky person a real arcade machine worth about $2,000. We're awesome, we know.

This is your chance to level-up your lame gaming space and overall standing in the gaming community. Lets face it, chicks (or dudes) dig guys (or girls) with arcade machines. Beginning later tonight you can visit our Facebook page and upload a picture of your wimpy game room by clicking the tab on the left that says, “WIN AN ARCADE MACHINE!” Seriously, the awful-er your picture the better! Then, go tell all your friends and family to vote for your picture. The picture with the most votes when the contest ends on May 13^th wins the grand prize—a Freeking arcade cabinet! Also, FIVE runners-up will win a copy of the new Mortal Kombat game for Xbox 360 or PS3. And EVERY participant will win a coupon for 15% off KontrolFreek products.

If your game room is already perfect but you'd still like to win the arcade cabinet just go take a picture of one of your friends' game rooms (the poorer the better!)—they won't mind as long as you promise to let them play with your new arcade machine.

A couple months after teasing the video game community at large, Bethesda has finally released the first in-game trailer for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim today.

The new trailer comes alongside the launch of the newly redesigned ElderScrolls.com, which features news, support and updates from the Bethesda team. There is also a link to join “The Elder Council” on Facebook, which gives you access to all kinds of cool goodies like wallpapers and videos from the Elder Scrolls universe.

Bethesda is claiming that the entire trailer is in-game footage, a pretty impressive statement considering how spectacular it looks.  I, for one, can not wait until November 11, 2011—when the game finally drops for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC!
