Did those hunched-over creatures place all the bull's-eye targets around this Rage HD level? It's as if they're begging to get shot.

Video Blips:

• Rage HD for the iOS (iPad et al.) looks pretty damn sweet. And by "sweet" I mean gruesome, grimy, and gory. [GameTrailers]

Continue after the break for a commercial detailing how Sony's fake VP Kevin Butler took Gran Turismo 5 up a notch, the latest Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom developer diary, and a preview of a new Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective puzzle.

 

• In order to promote Gran Turismo 5, Sony's "VP of Add More Awesome" Kevin Butler commits a little grand theft auto. Check your local news for the live helicopter feed of the police pursuit.

• Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom puts an emphasis on teaming up with a giant plant creature to solve puzzles and fight off bad guys. I'm pretty sure that working with an overgrown plant in real life would not be nearly as exciting.

• How do you market a game like Ghost Trick, where the gameplay involves assuming the role of an invisible ghost who moves around roasted chickens? A puzzle like that just has to be more fun to play than watch.

function getVideo() {
var so = new SWFObject(“http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/yo033.swf”, “mplayer”, “607”, “341”, “8”, “#000000”);
so.addParam(“wmode”,”transparent”);
so.addParam(“swliveconnect”, “true”);
so.addParam(“allowscriptaccess”, “always”);
so.addParam(“allowfullscreen”, “true”);
so.addVariable(“pid”, “bitm001”);
so.addVariable(“siteId”, “435”);
so.addVariable(“videoId”, “221185”);
so.addVariable(“autostart”, “false”);
so.addVariable(“file”, “http://cms.springboard.gorillanation.com/xml_feeds_advanced/index/435/3/221185/”);
so.addVariable(“pageUrl”, document.location);
so.write(“flashcontent_435_bitm001_single_221185”);
