Previously, Konami’s FMV-esque trailers for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance have given us weird, disorienting looks into the surgical processes involving Raiden’s robo-arm and cyborg eye, but this latest episode is a little more … theatrical, let’s say.

Anyone who clearly remembers and is still somehow able to comprehend Raiden’s background as outlined in Metal Gear Solid 2 will be able to piece together what’s happening in this video, though we’re still not entirely sure why you’d hand a sword to someone during surgery, even if that surgery’s purpose is to turn them into a milk-powered electro-ninja.

HBO Go Xbox 360 app now available to Time Warner users

Finally – FINALLY – Time Warner and Bright House cable customers have a way to watch HBO on their televisions. The HBO Go app for Xbox 360 previously only worked for Comcast and a variety of other services, but not TWC, so even if you were an HBO subscriber, you couldn’t use the app. Which is terrible. Today, Microsoft announced Time Warner compatibility.

Celebrate by watching some Not Necessarily the News tonight, or some episodes of Fraggle Rock. Look, it’s been a while since we’ve had HBO, okay?

Patch breaks Street Fighter X Tekken in new and exciting ways

Let’s face it: Street Fighter X Tekken just wouldn’t be Street Fighter X Tekken without at least one game-breaking bug. This was probably Capcom’s thought process when it launched the latest patch, which introduces a glitch that freezes the game whenever Rolento’s knife hits an opponent’s fireball.

The above video demonstrates the bug, which affects Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games that have been updated to version 1.04, Shoryuken reports. The patch does fix a few problems, such as hit box issues.

Grasshopper Manufacture, those crazy, crazy guys.
Goichi Suda isn’t afraid of having a bit of a laugh with trailers, and his games just happen to be mental enough for them to actually be funny.

Not blown away by those tiny images? Look at these monsters…
Weren’t blown away by those ‘next-gen’ Unreal Engine 4 demo screens released earlier today? Well Epic’s given us some monster hi-res versions, which should help put to bed the claims it doesn’t look that impressive.

Director Guillermo Del Toro’s THQ project, inSane, “is not cancelled” according to THQ’s Executive VP of Core Games Danny Bilson. The executive went to Twitter last night to make the declaration.

The statement comes a couple days after THQ, which reported a loss of $239.9 million in the previous fiscal year, announced during an investor call it was looking to unload Tomonobu Itagaki’s Devil’s Third for a few extra bucks.

During that same investor call, the company also reiterated that the Turtle Rock Studios (Left 4 Dead) FPS and Patrice Désilets‘ game, speculated to be 1666, are still in production.

Darksiders 2: Death in the shadow of the colossus

<!–

Darksiders 2‘s Death is apparently not good at the maths. A man runs at 10MPH. A horse can trot at 30MPH. A colossus lumbers along faster than both. Don’t kill the colossus, Death! Put out a picnic near the back of one of its shoulders and casually relax to your destination.
