It’s probably the most bizarre idea for a video game you’ve heard today, but you’ve got to admit it looks pretty damn fun. like Super Meatboy but with a broom. It’s called Dustforce and it’s out in a week on Steam.

Thanks to TR for the heads up.

Some retro platforming insanity that’s available for Pc and iPhone, as reviewed by and excitable geordie.

I believe the famous professional wrestler, given name Randall Mario Poffo, once said “The same fire the dragon breathes, he shall burn by.”

True words, brother. But we’re going to see a lot of the former, not so much the latter, in this video of the opening sequence in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, where a modder replaces the dragon with Randy “Macho Man” Savage.

This thing seems like a clever soundfile mod—still a very good one, if that’s all it was—for about 40 seconds. Then, I promise you are going to dookie on yourself from laughing so hard. Bravo to FancyPantz, the mod’s creator (and uploader of this video.)

What’s that? You want this mod? Why, you may discover it (and some nice screenshots) here, young adventurer. Enjoy. I have to go clean up now.

South Park: The Game is an epic role-playing adventure that will allow the user to befriend Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny and explore the quiet little mountain town like never before.

South Park: The Game will be different. For one thing, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are heavily involved. In fact, they’re writing the script and all the dialogue and working closely with Fallout: New Vegas developer Obsidian to make the game as true to the show we’ve come to know and love as possible.

This includes making the game look exactly like the show itself, which is now animated in HD. According to Game Informer’s January cover story (print edition, sorry no link – they have lots of coverage of the game here) the animation in the game will look so similar that anyone watching could easily mistake it for the show.

Want to see the best exploit of 2012 (so far?) Look no further than new MMO Star Wars: Old Republic, which literally lets you dance your way out of trouble.

If you’re being attacked by anything, from the lowliest enemy to the grandest boss, all you need to do is start dancing – triggered by typing /getdown – and it’ll interrupt their attacks, leaving you invulnerable.

Game-breaking. And hilarious.

Check out a icey cold winter trailer for Game of Thrones.

In Game of Thrones you will choose the class of your characters, find your fighting style, reach a good balance between your strengths and weaknesses.

Since the dawn of touchscreen mobile devices players have been gleefully flinging destruction from one side of the screen to the other in an effort to destroy group A in the name of group B. Is there room for innovation in the flinging stuff genre? Not really. So how is Snappy Dragons so entertaining?

Snappy Dragons pits dragons against wizards in a baby-saving battle to the death. You’ve got one of a handful of dragons on the left side of the screen tossing fireballs at malicious spell casters on the right. It’s pretty simple, certainly simple enough that upon first glance someone might write it off as another Angry Birds clone.

But it’s not. It’s better than that. You aren’t simply trying to knock stuff down here, you’re obliterating massive chunks of land, Scorched Earth style. Then suddenly you’re given these dragon babies to protect, so it’s a little less wanton destruction and more measured, focused destruction.

A visual journey through 2011 through the eyes of a gamer.

Trine 2 is the sequel to the 2009 downloadable PlayStation 3 and PC action platformer.

With the wholesome appeal of a fairy tale, Trine 2 is unapologetically packed with comfortable tropes. Like the first game, it stars a trio of classic fantasy heroes: a merry knight, a sly thief, and a nervy wizard. Their adventure bustles them through ye olde tale of rescue the princess–via enchanted forest and murky cavern, wherein they thrash goblins and giant spiders. But out of that conventional premise, the game conjures a gorgeous and gratifying platform puzzler.
