Uncharted 3 new character reveal
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Isn7AzzBY-A] SPOILER ALERT! well honestly it doesn't matter since any information about Uncharted 3 will be more of a treat than a spoiler. Naughty Dog released a clip showing a new character that might be the new anti protagonist going after Drake and his pal Sully. Her name is Katherine Marlowe and she wants to take something precious from Drake.
As always the writing seems top notched and the motion capture is what you'd expect from Naughty Dog. After watching the video, don't you think the bald guy should be voiced by Jason Statham? or is it just me.
Capcom Logo - You'll Never Look At It The Same Again
Holy balls! I never would have guessed that the font used for the Capcom logo is the same as the font used in Jeopardy. You learn something new everyday.

Shuma-Gorath and Jill Valentine Reveal Trailers
"Birth giving stance?"
Well they're finally here. The (first?) two DLC characters for Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Jill sporting her RE5 look with a very dynamic (and strange) idle stance. Now I don't know if all her moves got a complete overhaul but from the looks of it most are new. MvC2 loyalists might not like the new Jill but I'm sure they'll still fork out the dough to try her out.

Shuma still has one eye and still has tentacles. No doubt a favorite since he's been present in all MvC titles so far. His smug cross armed taunt looks better than ever in 3D and the chaos dimension still looks to deal a lot of damage.

People who purchased the Special Edition of the game will have early access to these two DLC characters and depending on if they like em could have the competitive edge when battling other players. Others will have to wait until Capcom gives the two characters a regular release.
PS:
5 bucks per character? DLC rape.

Minecraft Guys Working On A New Game
Mojang, developer of the indie hit Minecraft, is working on a new game called Scrolls. A digital card game / board game mash-up announced by Markus 'Notch' Persson at GDC 2011.
Scrolls is set to be a collectible card game with board game-esque element. Players will build decks of 'scrolls' and use spells and summons to battle against their opponents.
Jakob Porser is the lead designer and Penny Arcade's Jerry Holkins is working with Mojang on developing the story. The available cards will change constantly as new packs are released, and players will be required to adapt with the changes and build new decks accordingly.
The playing area will resemble a chess board, with a grid laid out on which to implement your scrolls. The object of the game is to attack your opponent, and bring his or her health down to zero.
Scrolls can be used to attack or defend -- however, they are dispensable in action, as destroying your opponent's units will not directly harm your opponent. Hence, the idea is to break through his or her line of defense and attack their "king," in terms of chess.
Players will shuffle their decks at the beginning of each game, and so will have no idea what order the cards will come out in. At the start of each turn, one new scroll is lifted from the deck and placed in your hand, ready for use on the battlefield.
A single-player campaign will be included, allowing players the opportunity to build up their decks and learn the ins and outs of the game.
However, the main focus will be on the online multiplayer aspects. Players will battle one on one against each other, with both friendly and ranked matches available.
Mojang are hoping to hold huge online world championships for the game, and are currently looking for a big sponsor for the league.
Other than battling, players will also be able to visit the online auction house, where they can buy or sell cards to and from other players.
Apparently Jakob Porser and Minecraft creator Markus Persson had already brainstormed the idea of Scolls five year ago.
A private alpha build is planned, and will be made available later this year. The opportunity to join the alpha will be offered to a number of people who bought the original Minecraft alpha. An open beta is then planned. Neither the alpha or beta builds will cost money, and will instead help the Mojang team to balance the cards and determine how the online play will work. Only the multiplayer elements will be available in these builds.
