I'll confess that I've not been following this whole Syria situation too closely as it's been going on for so long now, but this is a noteworthy photo series showing what's going on in a place that must literally be hell for the poor civilians caught up in it all:

Some pretty graphic stuff, although the really bad ones have to be clicked before they show. Some of what's going on over there is truly shocking, for example a set of three photos depicts the before, during, and after of a civilian being shot down by government snipers. Seems like a lot of innocents are being shot by both sides because combatants are often going around in civilian attire. Fuck me. Really does make any problems going on in my life right now seem like a joke.

I'll be loling so much if they do actually put out Ricochet 2.

Just watched Insomnia for the first time. Splendid, very cleverly written and performances to die for from Al Pacino and Robin Williams. Now I've seen this and One Hour Photo I'd love to see more dark Robin Williams roles, but has he done any others that're good?

You will probably be about to get a 360 for like $0.01 by the time it comes out.

The first person to unlock the cube... dies.

Word... I'm hoping they atleast do an unoptimized port.

I think that's basically what the 360 and PS3 versions will be. If we get a surprise announcement of a PS4 and/or 720 with GTA V as a launch title I am so waiting.

Bummed in the gob.

Yeah, Uncharted 2 pretty much nailed pacing — the perfect balance of action and downtime, unlike Uncharted 1 which was just relentless action that got kind of annoying. Any developer needing advice on pacing simply needs to play that game, not read this article.

It's not that, it looks like you copied the post from another forum that's already trimmed the links down — if you click them you'll notice there's a bunch of dots in the link.

Guy on the left reminds me of a younger Jack Nicholson.

So it's three main characters. I was expecting two after the previous media, but three is a surprise!

Doh. Closing the thread.

Yes. I tried to give the game a go while having a shit earlier, unfortunately it just kept having errors. So that's pretty much that.

Apparently an 18-page reveal of GTA V is going to be in today's issue of Game Informer, so lots of juicy details incoming. So far, just this:

The protagonist is an "East Coast gangster", who moved to the game's Los Santos setting (Rockstar's take on LA and southern California) for a fresh start. But, as in The Godfather III—just as he thought he was out, they pulled him back in.

Great work! Nice to see it done after all those iterations.

I'm sure we've all heard of Curiosity: What's in the Cube by now, but as it's actually out I figured we need a thread to discuss this bold and inspiring direction Peter Molyneux — creator of Theme Park, Black & White, and Fable — has decided to take the games industry in.

The goal of the game is to destroy each block that makes up the gigantic cube. Each block takes some time to be destroyed, which can only be sped up by spending coins on superior block destruction tools. It can only be destroyed one layer at a time, so once this outer layer is eventually destroyed in the year 2018 we can move onto the other multitude of layers.

Your reward for all this effort is the incredibly minuscule chance of being the person who destroys the very last layer, beneath which you'll supposedly find a life-changing secret.

What's this, Forest Whitaker playing a cop?! How novel. Nice to see my old favourites back in action, though. Not entirely convinced these films will be great but I hold hope after enjoying Expendables so much.

That is pretty much awesome.
