If you managed to get your hands on the latest "Black Ops" map pack, "Rezurrection," chances are you're a fan of the Zombies mode. After all, the entire pack is just zombies maps, with four returning maps from "World at War" and one brand new map, "Moon." It's "Moon" that you should be most concerned with, as it holds what is more than likely the culmination of the Zombies storyline, at least for now.

"Kino Der Toten" -- Map-Specific Strategies

"Five" -- Map-Specific Strategies

"Ascension" -- Map-Specific Strategies

"Shangri La" -- Map-Specific Strategies

As usual, unraveling that storyline is really, really complicated. "Moon" features yet another easter egg for you to uncover, and in order to find it (thereby unlocking the "Cryogenic Slumber" and "The Big Bang Theory" achievements), you're going to have to complete a long series of varied objectives scattered throughout the "Moon" map. Frankly speaking, I can't imagine any normal human being discovering these objectives on their own. Thankfully the internet is full of abnormal human beings, like Niik and ThatGamingShow, who are willing to unravel the mystery in video form so you don't have to spend your weekend banging your head against a wall.

Valve worked up the first-person shooter crowd with the announcement of "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" a couple weeks ago, but it amounted to little more than an acknowledgement of the project's existence. Well, PAX Prime is set to kick off today, and with it, fans will have their first chance to check out the next installment in the iconic series for themselves. Thankfully, for those of us who lack the fortitude to withstand the stank of the convention halls, Valve has just released an official trailer.

Check it out right after the jump.

The "Diablo 3" beta looms near, and despite all the controversy surrounding some of the changes Blizzard has made, people are going to still play the hell out of it. But what happens when the "Diablo 3" beta ends? Yes, as long as we've waited, there will still be a time, after the beta, when we'll have no hack-and-slash RPG to play, as we await the full release of "Diablo 3." Oh wait, that's not true at all! We'll have "Torchlight 2," thank goodness!

Bethesda was one of the first major companies to adopt downloadable add-ons to their games in the console space. Yes, I'm talking about horse armor, but ever since that debacle, Bethesda has stuck with it, releasing numerous packs for "Oblivion," "Fallout 3" and "New Vegas." The common thread between all of those games is that the DLC packs all released on Xbox 360 first, due to a likely-lucrative agreement with Microsoft. That agreement will continue with Bethesda's next release, a little game called "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim."

Unboxing videos are – well, they're kinda goofy. Honestly, they're a rather banal activity almost entirely confined to geeky pursuits like videogame collector's editions and new gadgets – when's the last time you saw a cooking website unboxing a new set of pans? – and yet, videotaping the contents of a package somehow seem as popular as ever. If you're bored with watching publication editors and developers opening up their fancy boxes, though, Naughty Dog have kind of raised the unboxing bar, as it were.

After the jump, check out Nolan North – the voice of Nathan Drake – unboxing the "Uncharted 3" collector's edition.

I love how we have our very own lexicon in the gaming community. Certain words, when placed in front of us, just automatically evoke an understanding. Such is the case with the term "super," and the team over at Uber Entertainment have just announced a follow-up to 2010's team-based shooter, "Monday Night Combat." Guess what it's called?

I don't know a ton about the world of professional racecarring, but I do know that Porsche is sort of a big deal when it comes to that stuff. Hell, there was an entire "Need for Speed" game dedicated to the brand. And therein lies the problem. EA has an exclusive licensing agreement with Porsche which allows them, and only them, to have Porsche cars in their games. In the past, EA has been willing to sub-license the Porsche brand to other game makers (as was the case with the last few "Forza Motorsport" titles), but apparently this year is different. In a FAQ on the official "Forza" site, creative director Dan Greenawalt, stated that Porsche would not be in this year's "Forza" because EA wouldn't let them.

You may already know that "Portal" was inspired by a student game made out of Digipen called "Narbacular Drop." One of the students that worked on the game, Kim Swift, went on to join the team at Valve as a lead designer on "Portal." In the years since, Swift left Valve and joined the crew at Airtight Games to work on a new project that's about as mind-bending as her best-known work. That project is "Quantum Conundrum."

Same-sex marriage is a hot-button issue in the American political space – well, a hot-button issue for some. Even supposing the industry would like to keep videogames completely devoid of any political tendencies, the reality is that nearly any form of entertainment that allows for you to make choices could present some alleged moral conundrum. If developers place marriage as an option in their game, there is the inevitable question: can you marry someone of the same-sex?

According to a Twitter exchange between Bethesda's Pete Hines and a fan, you'll have the ability to marry whoever you want – in regards to gender – in "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim."

After a bit of a stumble, it looks like the next piece of "Fallout: New Vegas" DLC is finally ready to be unleashed upon the world. "Lonesome Road" was initially meant to release in August, but it was recently delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. That delay has pushed the pack into its new release date of September 20.
