Without checking, there's little doubt that the title of Call of Duty: Black Ops' newly-announced DLC, Rezurrection (that “z” is intentional), violates the copyright claims of approximately a billion mediocre metal bands and/or techno CDs you've never heard of. It's all very well to offer free downloads for loyal customers (more on that inside), but Treyarch better have gone pretty damn high-concept for this one – not only to ensure brand recognition but to justify the announcement of another DLC pack so soon after the just-announced Annihilation. So this one's about zombies on the moon. Yep, that'll do it…

Limbo made quite the oily splash on consoles, beginning on 360 a year ago, and we rather loved it. It's a puzzle-platformer rendered in utterly dreary, ethereal black and white and it's downright lovely on the eyes. It also features some of the most shocking (child!) death scenes in a videogame ever, presenting all types of heinous death traps and giant spiders to impale, crush, slice, and burn your nameless, voiceless boy. Now that it's on Steam, PC gamers can enjoy its unique atmosphere, but we have to say that the PC is not the ideal platform for...

2011 marks just over 55 years since Lord of the Rings' first complete publication – not to mention ten years since the first movie in the live-action trilogy launched – so it's about damn time someone asked what Middle-Earth would be like if it were all grim 'n' gritty and Dragon's Age-esque. Thankfully, Snowblind Studios – known for Baldur's Gate spinoff Dark Alliance and Everquest spinoff Champions of Norrath – has its Rings spinoff, War in the North, ready for a November release.
