We’ve been talking about the film since the dawn of man (well, 2009), but Sony insists the film is still on the table, despitethe recent departure of director Seth Gordon. We still don’t know who will star as leading man Drake, so feel free to make your wildest speculations known below in the comments (I want Dempsey, please)....

Still rocking a slight Skrillex cut Last May I broke the news about 3D Realms’ upcomingBombshell,and the typical ’90s-esque trailer was decidedly light on gameplay but generous with clichéd teaser elements. Now there’s a proper trailer out to dissect and pick apart and it looks like Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison herself has grown a little more hair than when we last saw her.

Rather than deal withrealcriminal issues, the Senate has approved the proposal, which means it will now be voted on in the Committee on Constitution and Justice. Raupp aims to “curb the manufacture, distribution, importation, distribution, trading and custody, storage, the video games that affect the customs, traditions of the people, their worship, creeds, religions and symbols....

Bethesda’s Todd Howard didnotrule out the possibility of anElder Scrolls 5during his talk at QuakeCon. This runs contraryto our original story— which is totally and utterly wrong — based on notes and written with the anxious haste of a blogger. Blame me for not following up. Blame me for not taking the care to realize I attributed not only false words, but also false words to the wrong man. “Don’t look for a newElder Scrollsgame in the near future,” Howard actually said in response to the fan question before stating the franchise would continue....

Valve is an unusually awesome company. They like to listen to feedback, and try catering to fans. About a month ago they added to this awesome mentality with a contest to see who could make the best music video for the hidden gemExile Vilifyby The National.

Starring a lovable green ameboid fungus making its way through a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, it looks to bring a cool idea to physics-based puzzling. The globular lifeform is not directly controlled by the player, but instead has the property that it maintains a constant mass and volume....
