Will EA Save Or Ruin Star Wars Games?
The big news this week is EA and Disney announcing apartnership to work on more Star Wars games. Is this good news? I think it might be, Mike's vehemently opposed to the idea. Hit the jump to find out why.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist Director Talks Torture, Politics and Sam Fisher
When the wraps came off Splinter Cell: Blacklist last June, an interactive torture scene was decried for trivialising a hot-button topic. Though the interactivity has since been removed, torture shouldn't be off-limits for video games, says creative director Max Béland. He talks torture, politics and story in Splinter Cell: Blacklist after the jump.

How Not to Be a Spy in Splinter Cell: Blacklist's Spies vs. Mercs Multiplayer
Splinter Cell's distinctive stealthy-against-shooty multiplayer game Spies vs. Mercs returns in Splinter Cell: Blacklist in two flavours: Classic mode and Blacklist mode. Classic is tense and dark, Blacklist is brighter, bigger and faster. Both have important lessons for the wannabe spy. Watch this first multiplayer Spies vs. Mercs gameplay to learn them all.
Let's Play: The Impossible Game
Plenty of games claim to be difficult, but even the notoriously cruel Dark Souls doesn't claim to stop you dead in your tracks. In the spirit of investigation-slash-masochism, we thought we'd try out The Impossible Game, whose title is about as foreboding as they come. Mechanically straightforward yet utterly punishing seems to be the gist.
Let's Play: Shark Attack Deathmatch
Everyone knows sharks are the most dangerous creatures on Earth. Or is it humans? Well, it's definitely sharks in water. And it's probably humans on land - that makes sense. So at exactly what depth of water do sharks overtake humans on the dangerousness graph? This is a minefield. Sort of like the underwater minefield that features in Shark Attack Deathmatch, which we play here. And if that isn't the most unnecessarily laboured segue you've ever read, we'll try harder next time.

Let's Play: GRID 2 Preview
Codemasters Racing Studio's latest is only a month away, so we thought we'd spend some substantial, quality time with the single player events available in this preview version of the game. GRID 2's world tour spans all corners of the globe, from street races in Dubai to drift events in the Japanese mountains. And as you'd expect from a Codies racer, everything looks positively delicious.

In this video we analyse all three trailers with a fine-toothed comb, picking out secrets and background bits. There's plenty to talk about.
Far Cryathlon: Blood Dragon Edition
Those of you who can remember as far back as January might remember the inaugural Outside Xbox Far Cryathlon, a trio of Far Cry 3 challenges that tested our mettle as electronic sportspersons. Now, thanks to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, the Far Cryathlon has been given a distinctly 80s makeover. Come join us for three more events: The FutureGlider Drop, The Jetski Jump (From The Future) and The Dragon Garrison Capture.

Here Are The Best Moments From The Call Of Duty Championship Final
Cast your minds back through the mists of time (about three weeks) and you'll remember the Call of Duty Championship in Los Angeles. It's easy to be dismissive of eSports as trying to turn an interactive medium into a non-interactive spectator sport, but having watched two of the greatest Black Ops 2 teams in the world face off for a huge prize, we promise you it is genuinely spectacular. That's why you should give this video a whirl even if you ordinarily wouldn't - it compiles the 10 most entertaining, impressive moments from the final match-up between Fariko Impact and EnvyUs.

Lost Planet 3: Lost Planet's 'New Direction' is Story, Characters
After the lukewarm reception for Lost Planet 2, Lost Planet needed a shot in the arm. Creative director Kenji Oguro wanted a "new direction" for the third game, says producer Andrew Szymanski, so Lost Planet 3 was steered towards storytelling and relatable characters. Find out about these in the video.
Watch Our Dead Island Riptide Zombie Wedding Video
You might think we limit ourselves to Xbox-themed videos but frankly the real money is in filming weddings. There's something about the lunacy that descends upon prospective brides and grooms that means they'll pay through the nose for an insultingly slapdash wedding video. And nobody does insultingly slapdash like Outside Xbox. So when Dead Island Riptide threw a zombie wedding as a cheesy publicity stunt, we were the first choice.
Lost Planet 3 Multiplayer Dials Down the Silly
Lost Planet 3 dispenses with the frivolity of Frank West character skins and dancing emotes in favour of a straighter-laced multiplayer offering than Lost Planet 2. "We just got rid of some of the more wacky things," says producer Andrew Szymanski. "Lost Planet 2 in a lot of ways was very much party game, where people got together and just kind of had a great time... For Lost Planet 3 we wanted to make it a little bit more of a fast-paced, competitive atmosphere." Get your eyes on Lost Planet 3 multiplayer gameplay after the jump.
