Formula 1's Chief Games Designer on creating a four-wheeled masterpiece.

It's a Laser Drill! Check out the awesome power of this anti-Zerg Rush weapon, featured in this new footage from the most eagerly awaited "Adults Only" game in South Korea. Don't worry -- it's just Starcraft 2 and the video's totally Safe For Work.

We'll have our hands-on impressions of three new single-player missions posted later today. In the meantime, enjoy the gameplay video above and the new screenshots in the gallery below.

#alien Last year, legendary film maker Ridley Scott signed on to helm a prequel to the Alien film he directed 1979 sci-fi classic Alien. The idea of Scott doing another Alien film sounds terrific. But is it actually going to happen? More »

#left4dead Left 4 Dead's world is a miserable one, no? Ruins, and darkness, and more ruins, and zombies. What the game needs is a break. A break in space. More »

We're going to play a little game today. Here's the only rule: try not to be impressed by the graphical fidelity of these Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge screens. Don't marvel at the vibrant pirate spitting contest you see above. Don't cower at the menacing and highly-detailed visage of LeChuck himself. Scoff at the wares in the antique shop. Go ahead -- be unimpressed.

Yeah, we couldn't win, either. On to round two!

#screengrab Some game series grow older alongside their original audience. Get darker. More "realistic". Metal Gear. Zelda. Grand Theft Auto. One series that has not done this is Mario. If it did, though, it may look like this. As seen on DeviantART, via Unreality. More »

Xbox 360 owners can actually sample Blur's particular brand of chaos right now -- a decision we'd say is "most wise." For the rest of you, the only solace we can offer is via a new trailer, admittedly awesome in its own right due to a high volume of hot whips.

From licensed cars to completely fictional autos, it's all covered in the video above. There's even a rundown of the 14 different locations you'll be able to deposit some burnt rubber, if that's what you're after. Check it all out in the video above.

#clips For a video companion to our new hands-on preview of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty's single-player campaign, this seven minute long video of hot SCV on mineral action and giant laser drill management is just what the doctor ordered. More »

#preview While the rest of you are enjoying multiplayer scraps in Blizzard's StarCraft II beta, we recently had an opportunity to go hands-on (again) with the single-player side of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. What has changed since last year? Plenty. More »

I don't envy the team at Blizzard who has to design StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. Following up one of the biggest PC games of all time is no easy feat, and the sheer demands of nostalgic fans must be overwhelming. Think about it: If Blizzard were to release a game that was largely the same but with better visuals people would complain they didn't do enough, but if they drastically change the core gameplay elements -- like so many other RTS games have done lately -- franchise veterans would scream and shout that they destroyed all the good things about the original game.

We need to see some more pics of this baby! I’d love to get my hands on one of these, if only to sit on a shelf and look pretty!

I can’t say that I’m surprised to see this. I just don’t know if it’s official or not. Funny how EA put out an official Wii version of the Madden NFL 11 boxart earlier today, yet GameStop has this version…with the right player on the cover. I wonder if this is something [...]
