John Cleese is your butler in Fable 3
While a new clothing system might not sound like the most exciting GDC announcement, Fable 3 game director Peter Molyneux took just enough time from swapping royal robes and trying on regal trousers to introduce the audience to their new digital butler: John Cleese.

Xbox 360 died? Send it off in style with the RROD coffin accessory!
We sometimes get sent some pretty weird stuff from our readers. Throughout the years, we've seen everything from homemade Nintendog piñatas to scores of cosplay Polaroids (unfortunately, eye bleach is rarely included in the package). For about three years, some guy kept sending us fat envelopes filled with bizarre drawings for a competition that didn't even exist. We almost told the police about that one.

In pictures: the most badass video game villains
It’s no secret that villains have all the fun. They get the best lines, wear the coolest outfits and are usually one step ahead of the hero. They also get to kidnap princesses, blow up planets and cackle maniacally while spinning in swivel chairs. By contrast, most heroes are bit... well, lame.

With Japanese gamers learning months ago that they would be receiving Final Fantasy XIII within the year, US and European RPG fans were getting understandably antsy about when the rest of the world would finally get to play Square-Enix's next epic title.

The reveal comes in the final ten seconds of video, but it's preceded by a slew of developer commentary that's worth watching.

Teaser trailer for Alice sequel released, game due 2011
I don't get to play too many PC games--my console roots can't handle the mouse-keyboard setup and my family's computers were often incapable of playing anything more graphically intensive than solitaire--but I'm glad I fired up my Microsoft Sidewinder to play American McGee's Alice nine years ago.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
Let's be honest: Sonic the Hedgehog's reputation is in the toilet. His recent titles have been terrible, with only the Summer and Winter Olympics titles -- collaborations with his biggest rival, Mario -- accounting for anything positive. The blue blur's latest effort, Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing, fares better than some of his previous efforts thanks in large part to Sega's rich company history and the presence of some imported talent, but it isn't enough to put him back in the limelight for good. It's a step in the right direction, however.

Greed Corp
Before 90 per cent of households played videogames on rainy weekends, families would sit around a table and whip out a board game. You’ve probably heard of them – Monopoly, Chess and Scrabble are pretty much all that’s left, but once it was a thriving industry.
