This seems to be one of the most awaited games after the success of Left 4 Dead. No official Valve release but even the leaked footage looks awesome. Could be another winner for Valve.

Donkey Kong vs. Mortal Kombat
When I saw the title of this on tintarwebz I was kinda excited about the video. Disappointment couldn’t have bigger because this is probably the most boring and underwhelming video mashup I have seen but somehow it still got 100s 1000s of views on the Tube.
Koyaanisqatsi GTA4′ed
Fans of time-lapse will certainly know the movie Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio, also because of the awesome Philip Glass score. The concept of the movie has now been ported to GTA4 and the result is rather impressive. Note that the awesome Glass’ music was preserved and once more we can see how great the design in GTA4 and Liberty City is.

Germany will ban violent video games
Germany which has always been hard on violent video games (Unreal Tournament 2003 was blacklisted for a long time and only after a revision found the way back to the shelves, albeit with 18+ rating), is now preparing the final move to ban all violent shooters. Ministers of all 16 federations have agreed and the motion is expected to pass in parliament over the next weeks.
The law would result in no Call of Duty, no God of War, no Crysis, no World of Warcraft, no BioShock, no Uncharted, and no Grand Theft Auto. The law is hoped to come into effect before the country’s federal elections in September. The minister of the interior of Lower Saxony commented:
Violent games lower the inhibition level for real violence and spree killers have again and again played such before they did the crime.

Programming the deadliest AI
Programmers attending the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers symposium will attempt to program AI to destroy us all in a game of DEFCON.
Part of the symposium is a sort of “Turing Test” challenge, in which contestants program an AI to play a videogame. The objective is to try to trick a panel of human judges into thinking the AI is a human player. This year’s videogame is DEFCON, the brilliant nuclear war strategy game from indie developer Introversion. A group of talented programmers will pitch their DEFCON bot against enemy bots in a series of one-on-one thermonuclear chess games. The winner is the programmer whose bot successfully annihilates its opponents and racks up the highest death count. IEEE is offering a $500 prize to the deadliest DEFCON AI bot competition winner.

Turf Wars, Jurassic Street Fighter
Street Fighter is an all-time favourite of mine, it actually was one of the few arcade games I would regularly play back then. Today we present you Turf Wars, an in-browser Street Fighter variant with dinosaurs.
Games that need a Zombie mode
PWN or DIE has envisioned 8 video games that would be more fun with a zombie mode added to the game. On the list are Duck Hunt, Halo 3, Mario Kart, Madden, Sim City, Braid, Kung Fu, and Portal. A great idea, sadly poorly executed with only one photoshopped image for every game. Nevertheless cool.
