Over the weekend, Rockstar collected every piece of promotional art so far made available for Grand Theft Auto V, cleaned them up, made sure each had a nice big background behind them then then scaled them to wallpaper size.

Aliens Colonial Marines Pre-order Trailer
With Gearbox’s long developed, and highly anticipated, survival horror shooter Aliens: Colonial Marines finally nearing release, Sega and Gearbox have decided its time to start giving you some story details to enjoy. We already know that all this chaos takes place aboard the USS Sulaco and happens after the events of James Cameron’s Aliens film.
Crysis 3: Six Minutes More Man-Arrowing Footage
Crysis 3 has taken on a strange, amorphous shape in my head. I’m rather excited. I realise I am in a (handsome, intelligent and perceptive) minority in having had a great time in Crysis 2, but I can’t help feeling that Crytek’s mission is laudable. They really do want to make the shooter that covers everything, and is all things to all shooter-fans. Yerli’s quotes in that interview suggest he’s lost none of his ambition, and it’s clear that all kinds of concessions have to be made in projects of this magnitude. And the very least they are aiming high. This new footage, below, contains some spectacular moments. Go take a look.
Mario Minecraft
It took Gavin and Geoff of Achievement Hunter about four hours to build Super Mario Bros.’ 1-1 level almost block-for-block in Minecraft.
It’s not perfect, but the guys from Achievement Hunter could make a video about paint drying and still somehow make it fun to watch. After running through the level in one take they show the scene from different angles and explain how it all worked.
New Grand Theft Auto V screens
Latest batch of screenshots for Rockstar Games’ upcoming open-world title show shark, submarine, planes, and blimp. Rockstar Games has provided a holiday gifts to gamers: new Grand Theft Auto V screenshots. In a post to the company’s blog titled Happy Holidays – Enjoy”, Rockstar released five new screens from the hotly hyped open-world action game.
Black Hole Fun: Bit.Trip Void
There probably aren’t enough capital letters in that headline. Gaijin Games’ rhythm action releases do insist on themselves. It’s all ‘BIT.TRIP this’ and ‘BIT.TRIP that’ in the titles, which is odd because the games themselves are much more careful about making a racket. Void was the third entry in the series over in Nintendo land and it’s the third released on PC as well, although the fourth was released as the second. Forget all that though because there’s sod all continuity between entries and little plot to speak of, as the video below demonstrates.
Cat-ching Up With Mew-Genics
While Team Meat are still stubbornly refusing to share quite what manner of game this is, they have been sharing tiny kibbles of tease and hint over the past few weeks. The most obvious, and delightful, place to start is with the theme music, as written and composed by Matthias Bossi and Jon Evans. (The former also voiced the narrator in The Binding Of Isaac).
Eye Spy – Dark And Light In Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Way back when Splinter Cell: Blacklist first leaped into the spotlight, it did so in a fairly strange fashion by, well, leaping into the spotlight. Instead of methodical skulking, we saw fast-paced hulking – in broad, nearly blinding daylight, no less. It felt bizarre, as though Sam had suddenly become some hard-charging young gun in his old age. Recent videos, however, have eased my fear the teensiest of bits on that front – first with some admittedly takedown-heavy stealth, and now by showing us just how much time and effort is going into getting various forms of light and darkness just right.
Digging Deeper: Meet The Rest Of The Cave’s Cast
Wanna know what you usually find in caves? Bats. Awful, shrieky little things with webbed wings, beady eyes, and a thirst for that red stuff that sloshes around under your precious neckflesh. Also spiky ceiling rocks that could fall and cave in your head, and lots of unpleasantly cold water. But sometimes – every once in an eerily blue moon – you also find yourself. Or at least, that’s what Ron Gilbert’s talking cave argues in a new trailer, and who are we to disagree? Not caves, that’s for sure – so probably not particularly qualified. But this cave also seems to know people, so what do I know? Probably nothing. Hear about the Adventurer, Knight, Time Traveler, and Twins in The Cave‘s learned, slightly sultry baritone after the break.
Tripping Up: Free Red Orchestra 2 And Killing Floor Things
Tripwire are having a busy weekend, with the announcement of Killing Floor’s now-traditional Christmas spectacular, and a free weekend on Steam for Red Orchestra 2. This Christmas’ Killing Floor event is IN SPAAAACE, which puts robots and Evil Santa on the moon (a free map with Christmas-themed baddies). Could anything be more festive? Watch the trailer below, and decide for yourself. R’ochestra meanwhile is free from now until Monday. It’s a fantastic, rumpled bastard of a game. Worth a few squeezes of the mouse button.
