Here’s some bloody god-damn friggingUncharted 2gameplay for you in stinking buggering video form. Stick that up your quiver-holes and squidge on it. The environment, stealth gameplay and feeling like a fight is going on around you makes me think ofMetal Gear Solid 4. A lot. The combat itself appears to be more of the same, however....

From the sublime to the silly, here are a collection of tunes that would make Professor K proud I am fond of a video game mashup or two, so I was stoked when I heard2 Mello(the composer for2064: Read Only Memories) was releasing aStreets of Ragemashup album this week. When it came out on Tuesday, I downloaded it right away for listening to during workouts, and it hasn’t disappointed me. He has also released aNotorious B....
