There is a Neogaf Thread on great and weird game art on the net today. My favorites from that thread:
Finally, gamers can do it in style. And by "it", yes, I mean IT. Graphic designer Ben Marsh has come up with a collection of awesome packaging for condoms, in the style of old Game Boy games. Don't miss the crudely fun "instruction sheet" at the bottom of the page.

Really cool music video with material of classic and current games adapted to the song. Rap was ok, but the whole production was very well done.
Who knows if this is going to be any good? In my experience, these combo consoles that claim to be able to play your Atari and NES games are eventually doomed to failure, as you're stuck hunting down Duck Hunt cartridges and then having to stick them in the freezer when they eventually freeze on-screen.
What separates Metro 2033 from other FPS games? Life. There are underground towns, markets, children, music, and so much background chatter than sometimes you can't single out a particular conversation.
Picked up Metro 2033 from the Steam Sale. Wow is it pretty. At 1080p with DX11 and gorgeously detailed, it's hard to not stop and stare at every single thing! I wish there was a way to somehow convey this feeling..
Like Brickwall? This is a very cool redesign to the Brickwall-type games. Catchy music and beautiful graphics, this game should be great for both casuals and hardcore.
A really good interview for the upcoming game Crysis 2 with lots of game play footage.
The 360 Spring Arcade bundle is $149 at Amazon and Ebgames! This includes Viva Pinata and Banjo Kazooie.
All right women are you sick of playing games like GTA where you kill hookers? In Hey Baby you get to kill all the men who've been harassing you on the streets!
I really enjoyed this article.
Walk through of the hotly anticipated game Epic Mickey for the Wii. The game went through a redesign to make it look closer to a lot of the amazing concept art shown earlier in the year.
So go to the link for the instructions, and you'll end up with this screen. You should know how to do this if you've ever done any video game cheats.
Call it World Cup fever. Someone or someones decided to make a whole bunch of reenactments of LEGO soccer games, including the infamous US vs England draw. Via MetaFilter.
W-O-W. This trailer looks amazing. From 2kGames (Bioshock), this game looks to be set in the 50's with stellar art direction. I don't know how well this sits with people who have played the previous XCOM games, but from a new player perspective I really loved the trailer.
From the maker of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, Itagaki brings you his newest game. Wow, this game looks great but will it be better than Bayonetta?
From the upcoming game Deus Ex 3, here is an in game screen shot. Oh boy this is going to throw the Tea Party in a tiffy! The original shot (the poster is in the upper left corner):

This brand new Zynga game launched today and I'm looking forward to bringing you news and information about the game as well as updates and tips!
A cartoony, "Trials HD"-type game being released today. It's multiplayer so you can take on people at home or online. Looks like a lot of fun. You can also create your own levels. Here is an excerpt from the Game Informer review:
Gamers can read, too! This book is slated to come out in October. Of course there'll be arguments over what should have been included, what got overlooked, and what's overrated. Which video games do you think belong in the "must-play" categories?
E3 is around the corner and new game information is being leaked or revealed everywhere. Deus Ex was a huge hit a long time ago. Think Bladerunner. The trailer actually looks amazing and it's obviously all cgi. I've seen actual in game screen shots, and it looks ok. I'll wait till the gameplay videos come out before making any judgements.
Joseph Ford's photography series couldn't have a more befitting name: If I Were President...
Video Games Live is in LA 6/17. I went last year and it was so much fun!
These are great times. It is about time advertisers invaded our video games in the same way they do our driving (billboards), walking (fliyers, posters), and our private home (emails, bulk mail, text messages).
Upcoming Peanuts game. Thought it was a cool looking picture of the gang.
This is a new video game magazine. It's not your everyday Game Informer, though. Kill Screen Magazine aims to be "what early Rolling Stone was to rock n’ roll or Wired was to tech". The sample PDFs are an intriguing introduction. I'd love to see what they come up with.
