Little Dog

This thing is freaking amazing. I imagine that these would be released from the Big Dog's undercarridge as some sort of recon drone seeking for human resistance settlements.

Another Big Dog update: DARPA has asked for a bigger Big Dog. This artist's impression looks like its about the size of a building (or several buildings). Also this is meant to be finished in 2012, which is when either a New World Order begins and the universe collapses.

Megasnake.

Equation for awesome: The word MEGA + predatory animal = Cinematic masterpiece

Red Dead Redemption

Its out this Friday and I'm actually pretty excited about this one.
Watch this gameplay vid, probably with the sound off cos the guys in it sound like douches. There's something about the shakey cam that makes it feel all the more seedy.

The Vader Project

This reminds me of Lester's skull project, only it involves Darth Vader, and is therefore superior.

Onslaught mode - BF:BC2 gets some co-op action on.

It sounds awesome.

Screenshot is semi-related. There might even be some lame jokes about "hanging around" or "winging it" to be had there, but I won't touch it.

The bit you should not miss is below - click on the links above to get a slightly more wordy PR-treated set of info.

"Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Onslaught mode can be played with up to four players across four multiplayer maps – Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes, and Nelson Bay – redesigned with new lighting, time of day, added vehicles and other effects. Each map has a dedicated gameplay focus, requiring different levels of teamwork in order to complete the objectives against an onslaught of enemy AI. Vehicle warfare comes to the forefront in Atacama Desert while Nelson Bay focuses squarely on infantry assault. Players can compete in squads and check individual progress via the dedicated Onslaught leaderboards."

MACHETE!

Gentlemen, we must see this.

It's *sniff* beautiful.

It brings a tear to my eye to see these robots working so hard to bring us well organised salami. Though I'm guessing it's only a matter of time until those little salami's are human children being fed into a furnace to power the Killbot 3000 - who's sole purpose destroy all humans and is powered by human corpses.

Rabies union Rabies = Rabies

Four dead on the left.

No wait... I fucked that up.

Pre-owned copies of Left 4 Dead are $33 at EB

Here is where you can get it.

You should probably call and make sure they have a copy before you wander in there. But in there you should indeed wander, and purchase. For this is an excellent game.
