By now you've probably heard about the Xbox One, Microsoft's new game console that was announced today. That reveal also included a deep dive into Call of Duty: Ghosts, the upcoming shooter in the ongoing series from Activision, due out this November. We were able to get a sneak peek at the title last week, and were treated to an underwater sequence from the game that involved following an enemy submarine and destroying it.

What if "Diner Dash" had players helping guests around the restroom instead of the dining area? "Men's Room Mayhem," available today for PS Vita and coming soon to mobile platforms, could be viewed as a take on that idea. As the trailer above reveals, players will fill the role of janitor, drawing lines and helping folks relieve themselves in the lavatory.

Using a 3D printer, the team at Hyrule Foundry have created pixel-perfect replicas of the inventory from "The Legend of Zelda." The 32-item collection includes Link's swords, shields, food items, keys, dynamite, and more and Hyrule Foundry is offering the whole lot up for sale or as individual items on their Shapeways page to ultimately be lost somewhere in the corners of your home.
After the jump, check out a video tour of some of the items available from Hyrule Foundry.

A couple of weeks back, I had the chance to play the level on display in the new "Splinter Cell: Blacklist" trailer, pitting Sam and Briggs against a highly-trained Pakistani security force as well as terrorists bent on getting getting access to an unsecured nuke.
I thought it was pretty damned cool.
After the jump, see gameplay from "Blacklist's" co-op missions.

Go ahead and get it now in the Capcom store.
For my money, the second through fifth games in the "Mega Man" series were one of the rare, uninterrupted streaks during the 8-bit era, so it's great that all of those soundtracks are now available (if a little pricey for my tastes).
You can find the full 57-track listing after the jump.

Tony Swatton and the folks at Man At Arms are truly doing God's work; this time by recreating Final Fantasy fanboy favorite -- the Buster Sword.

Instead of taking the stage at E3 in June, Nintendo has decided to focus on smaller events of their own. In particular, a Nintendo Direct presentation will broadcast before E3, sharing details on "new Smash Bros., 3D Mario game, Mario Kart and other Wii U titles."

Will the Kinect finally be integrated (and essential) to the Xbox experience? Has Microsoft finally shrugged off the wounds of their HD DVD foray and finally embraced Blu-ray? Will the next Xbox require an always-on connection and vomit out used discs? Excitement for the next Microsoft console has been tempered by doubt as the software giant has allowed the narrative to sort of run away with itself. Really, they should have been showing more stuff like IllumiRoom to keep us interesting.
CVG reports that the Kinect and projector concept, which throws in-game visuals and effects onto the wall surrounding your screen, would make its official during tomorrow's Xbox event in Redmond.

Spanning multiple "Zelda" titles, The Zelda Project is a group based out of L.A. who are into making Link and Zelda as real as possible through cosplay, photography, and ultimately, film.
From their Deviantart page:
The Zelda Project is a Los Angeles, CA based group of friends who seek to bring to life the characters, settings, and overall feel of Ocarina of Time through photography and film. Our ultimate goal is to create the characters as they would appear in reality to the best of our abilities, placing them in beautiful sceneries true to their Hyrulean counterparts, and creating elaborate photosets utilizing art ranging from costuming to 3D CGI.
After the jump, check out more images from The Zelda Project.
