Sneaky Zebra Productions brings us this Mass Effect fan film, and just like Mass Effect, you get a choice at the outcome of the story. They’ve clearly put in a lot of work into the project, and the result is quite impressive, with decent costume and CG work, and at the end, you get to chose your path and move on to the next video and follow the story, with two alternate endings.

Despite it being somewhat forgotten already, Far Cry 2 was a pretty good game. It was set in Africa, had a bunch of interesting gaming mechanics (like weapons jamming, wind, fire, etc.), and it looks like its sequel, Far Cry 3, will be offering something quite similar. The new Far Cry 3 gameplay trailer packs 5 minutes of gameplay, and one thing that really stands out is the facial animations and the characters — honestly, we haven’t seen anything this realistic. What do you think?

Battlefield 3 is based on the familiar rock/paper/scissors gameplay, coupled with huge open maps with all sorts of vehicles added to the mix. This gives endless possibilities to do almost everything in Battlefield 3, like the amazing plane stunt you’ll see above. It’s a true “Battlefield moment”, and highly unlike to happen in any other multiplayer game.

There are two camps of Nintendo 64 players: those who think GoldenEye 007 is the best Nintendo 64 game ever, and those who think the second best Nintendo 64 game ever. Whichever camp you’re in, you’ll most certainly enjoy this real life GoldenEye video, showing a walkthrough of the first mission, complete with player commentary.

We recently told you about an epic Zelda re-creation in Minecraft, but there something very similar out there, a “voxel-based exploration RPG” called Cube World. We’ve got a fan made trailer that shows just how awesome the game looks. Spoiler alert: it looks pretty damn awesome. The game is still in development and there’s no ETA on release, but we sure hope it’s soon.

By now, you should know that it’s possible to create virtually anything in Minecraft, no scratch that, it’s possible to create everything in Minecraft. Including re-creating Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

The project is called “Hyrulecraft”, and its goal is to recreate the entire world of Zelda: Ocarina of Time inside of Minecraft, complete with NPCs, dungeons, etc. Fore more details on Hyrulecraft and how to play it, check out this run down by GenGame.

Just one look at this game, Dear Esther, and you can tell that it’s very atmospheric. The game started as a Half Life 2 mod in 2008, and has since been in development for a commercial release. It’s built on the Source engine version that powered Portal 2, and is scheduled for release this February. It’s one of those game we can’t wait to check out.

The first of the next-gen consoles, Nintendo’s Wii U, will be released later this year and is poised to be just as revolutionary as the Wii. The Wii U features a touchscreen controller, which brings new possibilities to what can be done with the new console.

As for specs, the Wii U is said to be roughly 50% more powerful than the Xbox 360. We’ll have to wait until June and E3 to find out just how powerful the Wii U will be. And just how much we’ll have to fork over in order to buy one. Check out the video above for some gameplay on Nintendo’s new Wii U.

Rockstar has released a new Max Payne 3 trailer, this time, we get a good look at some Max Payne 3 gameplay and game mechanics as well. But somehow, it feels odd hearing the new Max, with the new voice actor. Not much “noir” to it if you ask us, but the gameplay sure looks exciting. Be sure to check out more Max Payne 3 news, including Max Payne 3 bursts and our Max Payne 3 multiplayer coverage. The game is scheduled for release this May.

Back in the 90′s and the Nintendo 64 era, we used to spend days, weeks, months, playing Super Mario 64 and trying to get as many of those stars as possible. There are some, however, who are in a different league when it comes to Super Mario 64. Like YouTube user “Mike S.”, who went on a speed run and collected 70 (seventy!) stars in 49 minutes and 42 seconds. Count us impressed.
