There’s a new trailer for ‘Twisted Metal’ PS3-stylee, and it’s out of its fucking gourd. Pure madness in all the best ways, punctuated by fucking mech battles. Mech battles!, in Twisted Metal. I had no damn idea.

Enlarge. | Via.
Endeavour is back on the ground, but while it was taking its ultimate voyage, it spent some time docked on the International Space Station. Not one to waste and opportunity to take gorgeous pictures, Dani Caxete snapped some captures of the craft casting a gorgeous shadow against our solar system’s star.
‘Tomb Railder’ Debut Trailer Probably Better Than Actual Game.

Tomb Raider’s debut trailer has been released, and it’s friggin’ gorgeous. I’m a skeptic of this franchise at this point, and I have a healthy suspicion I’ll end up enjoying this trailer more than the game itself. If I even end up buying it.
Press Start!: Hulk Hogan, Obama, and Hardcore RPGs.

Welcome Hulkamanics, to the column that never ends! Or that’s what you’ll be saying by the end of yet another 800+ sprawling polygonal analog stick treatise monstrosity thing. This is Press Start!, the column where I give the rundown on all things video games from the past week. Actually, just five things that tickled my triggers, but what can you do. C’est la column.
Drop the stuff that you dug on this week in the comments section, and let us building a shining city on the gaming hill.
Metal Gear, Silent Hill, and Zone of Enders HD Collections? OMFGSOMETHING.

Konami is striving to blow some assholes out today with their announcements. Not only did they announce more Contra up in the hacienda, they also announced that they’re dropping MGS, SH, and ZOE HD collections into our gaping gaming gullets.
Konamiphiles, you’re going to need to lube that or you’ll rub it raw until it flakes.
Check Out The Trailer For The ‘A Tribe Called Quest’ Documentary, ‘Beats, Rhymes & Life.’

Back in high school when I was a mopey, overweight dork, I used to have my spirits perked by the mellifluous flow of the Tribe. They broke up, I moved on, such and such is life. Slap on a few seconds of a verse though, and I’m right back in the same golden aged glow. There’s a trailer out for the documentary about the Tribe, ‘Beats, Rhymes & Life’, and man does it get me nostalgic. I can’t wait.

Konami Teases New ‘Contra’ In Pre-E3 Presentation. Hell Yes!

Contra. A stalwart fixture in my gaming childhood. What the fuck my parents were doing letting me run around with enormous machine guns and blast alien hearts is beyond me, but I’m glad that they were so oblivious to the rockitude they bought for me. At Konami’s E3 presentation, they teased more Contra. Oh yes.
Hitler Flips Out Over The DC Reboot, Yeah That Video.

I’m with you, I thought that the “Hitler Flips Out Over Event X” video had been beaten into mush and fed to my grandparents in their Deathcenters. Maybe it has been. That didn’t stop Rendar and myself from laughing our asses off at the latest incarnation. Adolph finds out about the DC reboot and handles it only moderately worse than the minds here at OL did.

Cassini’s Saturn Pictures Turned Into Gorgeous Video.

The spacecraft Cassini has been rocking around Saturn for seven years, taking thousands of pictures and making geeks like me swoon. Apparent fellow geek and talented videographer Chris Abbas took all the images and make a video out of it, set to some fittingly haunting Nine Inch Nails.
