Electronic Arts, the game’s producers, are going to let the (mostly) guys who play these action racing games gawk at a digitized version of Christine Hendricks — famous for being the busty redhead from Mad Men and the busty redhead from Drive. We only have one photo of Hendricks in the game, but it’s hard to ignore her uncanny valley is a little less uncanny.
If that’s the case, it’ll be a first video games, which has a strange habit of giving women completely unworkable anatomy. (Ahem, Lara Croft.)
But more importantly than seeing a fake version of Hendricks, you’ll get to hear the real thing as she whispers commands into your earhole. Get ready for the sexiest gaming voiceover since Betty White appeared on Hollywood Squares.
Impressive Grand Theft Auto IV mods are nothing new, but this one—which turns the fictional Liberty City into a very real, very beautiful New York City—is really impressive.
OK, so here’s what it does: First up, it replaces advertising and store signs with ones you’d actually find in the Big Apple. But it also greatly improves the game’s visuals in just about every respect.
The mod’s creator, Gionight, says that it’s “just a beast visually” and yet doesn’t “eat much resources at the same time”.

The Secret World is an in-development MMORPG by Funcom. An original story, it will take place in the modern day as well as ancient mythology and civilizations long gone, blending these elements into what is being called a dark fantasy with supernatural elements.
A battle between good and evil will unfold and players will be a part of it, building up their supernatural powers (there are no classes) and shaping their characters as they desire. The game will also include depictions of some real locations as well as fictional ones.
Not much else is known about the game or its possible release. In addition to the PC, it’s also scheduled to come out for the Xbox 360.
In the Warco, you control a journalist filming and traveling through war zones.
The game itself — the title of which is actually short for “war correspondent” — follows the story of journalist Jesse DeMarco. Players will experience the process of filming conflicts, going into dangerous situations armed with nothing but a camera. They will then edit the footage into a compelling news story. The scenarios range from intense bursts of action to quieter moments as you discuss the events of the day with fellow journalists in a hotel. Though the main mechanic will be filming the action, Warco is also very much about choice.

Somehow, this is the first official in-game footage of Hitman: Subtitle which has been released to the hungry eyes of the public. Feast, feast!
As Adam worried in his preview t’other week, old 47 doesn’t appear to be quite so silent an assassin as he once was, but it’s good to see he’s still playing fancy dress in between punching people and shooting people and throwing people and choking people.
No Time To Explain is a game about time paradoxes, jetpack guns and ribs in people’s eyes. It’s also an indie platformer! It first appeared as a brief but hilarious flash game and has since been fleshed out into a full game thanks to generous donations to the dev’s kickstarter page.
Here’s a trailer:

Smudged Cat Games, the creators of “The Adventures of Shuggy” are proud to present the trailer for their upcoming new game, “Growing Pains”.
Growing Pains gives the traditional platformer a shake up with psychedelic graphics, a thumping sound track and an ingenious twist that you’ve never seen before. The ‘Vessel’ which you control continually grows and expands leaving you in a permanent race to clear the area and escape before you get too big and find your butt wedged in a tight spot.
Combine this with tight controls and levels crammed with devious traps and you’ve got a heart-pounding race guaranteed to leave you with sweaty palms and a sense of overwhelming satisfaction when you reach the goal.
Despite costing a measly 240 MS points Growing Pains will feature 9 massive levels each with 3 difficulty levels that radically change how each level plays out. This is the kind of game that just makes you want to show everyone your skills so level times and replays are shared with other gamers while you play allowing you to compare high scores against your friends and the rest of the world.
Growing Pains will be out for the XBox Indie games channel in October adding to our existing line up of “A Bomb’s Way”, “The Tower: A Bomb’s Climb” and “Timeslip”!
Some days it’s hard to coax a smile out of me, usually because I’ve inadvertently pondered the state of the world rather than concentrating on my cocoon of make-believe. There were moments this morning when I thought this might be one such day and that I’d end up typing furious screeds about every terrible piece of news I could find. But the I saw the new trailer for Voxatron, which made everything seem just fine. Better than fine. We’ve had our eyes on this for a while but this is the first new footage since April and it comes with the announcement that the alpha will be available soon for anyone willing to preorder. Take a look.
That really hits the spot. The bit with the lava at the end? Exciting! The part with the sword that brings back memories of hours playing Ant Attack? Delightful! The Voxel Man’s twitching eye and bleeding nose? Confusing and frightening!
Along with destructible environments and groovy music, Voxatron will contain a full world editor. The alpha will be available “shortly” but the full version’s release isn’t fixed yet, as the game is expanding from an arcade shooter into a more ambitious adventure. The editor, which you can see more of here, should still allow for self-contained sessions of running, jumping and voxelcide.
Let’s hope that’s not my entire smile quotient for the day.

PC version of Croteam first-person shooter revival pushed back a month, still no update on Xbox 360 and PS3 release windows.
If there’s one thing Serious Sam isn’t so serious about, it’s keeping appointments. Devolver Digital and Croteam today announced the second delay for the PC version of Serious Sam 3: BFE, pushing the game’s launch back to November 22.
The PC game was originally announced as a summer release and then issued what would turn out to be an equally erroneous October 18 launch date. There is still no word on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of the game, which were announced for summer but have not been given a new release window.
A prequel to Serious Sam: The First Encounter, BFE takes place in 22nd-century Egypt amid a collapsing civilization beset by unearthly beasts. The game sees the return of the series’ signature adversaries like the Headless Kamikaze and Gnaar, as well as new opponents going by names like Scrapjack and Khnum.
Serious Sam 3′s gameplay also features a number of additions, with Sam in particular getting an assortment of new melee moves. Additionally, up to 16 players at a time can play through the game’s cooperative campaign mode.
