I’ve always been a fan of Adam Hughes ever since the first time I saw a Wonder Woman cover. The amazing thing about Adam’s work is that, you can always spot it from a mile away.

But it’s not just covers and interior artwork Adam does, he also does a lot of sketches for fans, and not only are these awesome, but some of them are funny too. It’s always great to see major artists with a sense of humour.

Okay enough talk, here are 28 Adam Hughes sketches that would make you go AH! in a good way.

Which ones are your favourite? I love the Carrie Kelly Robin one, especially the bit where Batman says, “Language Chum!”

Everyone has their favorite computer games they play all the time. It’s usually because they are unbelievable. The kind of games you can play for hours and never get bored with. These are the ones that always get worn out because they are never out of our machines. But there’s other games we love playing for a different reason. We love to be scared out of our socks.

Some horror games tap into emotions we would only get from watching the latest Halloween movie, as Michael Myers chases someone with a giant knife. Are they great games? Sure, but the fright we get from playing them is the best thing about them. Let’s have a look at the ones over the years that have frightened us the most. The ones we would think twice about playing in the dark without someone else with us.

Imagine being stuck on a spaceship and trying to find your girlfriend before it’s too late. That sounds bad enough, but when you have aliens throwing dead bodies at you it can get quite scary. There’s plenty of moments in Dead Space where you will be shocked and appalled. Everything blends together beautifully to keep you on the edge of your seat.

If you haven’t played it before and fancy a fright then check it out.

Resident Evil has always been a scary computer game. When you’re trying to avoid flesh-eating zombies it can be a shock to the system when they jump out at you from nowhere and start chewing on your neck. The reason Resident Evil 4 is so good is that it took all the scary parts from the first games and added some realistic graphics that bring them to life even more.

It definitely deserves its place as the scariest Resident Evil so far, but I’m sure it will be topped in the future.

You play the part of someone with amnesia who must explore an underwater city searching for answers. You are definitely not alone in this strange world and are constantly being stalked by the people of Rapture City.

Brutal murders, mutant little girls, and hideous guardians all play their part in making you cautiously turn around as you make your way through the lost city of BioShock.

You get to put yourself in the shoes of an escaped lunatic from an asylum and walk around playing baseball with peoples heads. Due to some of the kill scenes being so scary, they were shown in black and white. Manhunt 2 is pretty simple. Kill people in unique ways.

It’s definitely not something you should let young children play, and if you do they shouldn’t be allowed to leave home until they forget everything they have seen.

The Silent Hill series is very scary and will give you chills. Just like Resident Evil it’s also had a chance to shine on the big-screen. But the games were where it all started and you definitely won’t want to play them if you get scared.

Silent Hill 2 is probably the scariest out of them all and there’s a lovely big twist if you like those. It will make you feel more disturbed than excited.

In Amnesia: The Dark Descent you also play the role of an amnesia victim, but you wake up in a castle in the nineteenth century. Your mission is to get out of the castle without going crazy or being killed. It seems like a good idea, right? But instead of being armed with anything to defend yourself you need to get away from the monsters by hiding.

It’s also got some great puzzles you have to solve, so it’s not just about frights.

Vimeo is a great source for creative videos on the web. There are tons of digital videos that inspire and jaw drop you at the same time. Mac ‘n’ Cheese is one of them, an animated short directed and created by four students from Netherlands.

The animation video took them five months to make and “a bajillion peanut butter sandwiches”

Synopsis: When you find yourself running scared and running out of energy, there’s only a few options left to outrun your opponent through the southern desert. Stopping at nothing, watch these two guys wear each other out and rip through boundaries hitherto unbroken. Enjoy the ride!

Kinda reminds you of ‘Team Fortress’ huh? Interestingly the team note Team Fortress 2 and Meet Buck as their inspirations. Tools used to create the masterpiece?

• Autodesk Maya
• Eyeon Fusion
• Pixologic Zbrush
• Adobe Photoshop
• TVPaint

If you want to see some behind the scene screens and a gallery of images, check out the macncheese website. The team also have a Facebook page, so feel free to pop over and like them!

Microsoft showed off a teaser trailer for Gears of War: Judgment during E3 2012. The latest entry into the Gears of War series is being developed by the Bulletstorm developers People Can Fly.

You can check out the trailer below, showcasing a new squad – the Kilo Squad led by a young Baird, Cole and two new characters – Garron Paduk and Sofia Hendricks.

Baird is shown in shackles standing trial for treason during the early days of the COG army’s war against the Locusts, and yeah, we also get to see scenes of Locusts and COG soldiers. There are also some snippets of gameplay footage such as the good old grenade tossing a locust hole and watching some locusts be blown to bits. (as Marcus would say in his gritty voice, “niiice”)

Anyway, here’s the E3 2012 trailer:

Gears of War: Judgment is set 15 years before the events of the first game and it will feature class-based multiplayer, a first for the series. The game will be out in 2013 for the Xbox 360. You can check out the sweet artworks featured in the gameinformer covers below:

It gets better, Epic Games have released a sweet wallpaper as well

Electronic Arts and Crytek have gone ahead and officially announced Crysis 3 that will be releasing in 2013 for the PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

EA is describing Crysis 3 as the ultimate sandbox shooter, where gamers will get to fight in the New York ‘Liberty Dome’, exploit Seven Natural Wonders (wha…will we check out the Amazon Forest?) and use Alien weaponry.

Plot wise, here’s the official statement for Crysis 3:

Set in 2047, Prophet is on a revenge mission after uncovering the truth behind Cell Corporation’s motives for building the quarantined Nanodomes. The citizens were told that the giant citywide structures were resurrected to protect the population and to cleanse these metropolises of the remnants of Ceph forces.

In reality, the Nanodomes are CELL’s covert attempt at a land and technology grab in their quest for global domination. With Alien Ceph lurking around every corner and human enemies on the attack, nobody is safe in the path of vengeance. Everyone is a target in Prophet’s quest for retribution.

As expected from EA, they have announced pre-order goodies for Crysis 3. First up, we have the ‘Hunter Edition‘.

• Early access to the signature bow and its attachments (son of a bit****!)
• Hunter Nanosuit module which adds additional power and functionality
• Bonux XP boost up to level 5 in multiplayer
• A unique bow skin
• Three exclusive dog tags

Hunter edition will retail for $59.99 .

In addition to the Hunter Edition, select retailers will offer gamers the following early multiplayer unlock with pre-orders:

Stalker Pack 

• Includes the base game
• All Hunter Edition content
• Semi-auto Jackal shotgun for multiplayer with a unique silencer attachment and custom weapon skin
• Two exclusive themed in-game dog tags.

Overkill Pack 

• Includes the base game

• Typhoon assault weapon and skin for multiplayer use.
• Two exclusive Overkill themed in-game dog tags.

Predator Pack
