Why do all the multiplayer modes in shooters like Medal of Honor have to be so violent? What about a nonlethal Freeze Tag? Or even Steal the Bacon?

Video Blips:

• In Medal of Honor's new Objective Raid mode, you take turns either destroying the other team's possessions or protecting you own. If you want to play it with your friends in real life, make sure you get their permission to break their stuff, first.

Continue after the break for a peak at the new costumes coming to Super Street Fighter 4, the dynamite trailer for Explodemon, and a behind-the-scenes look at GoldenEye 007's multiplayer.

• These days, thanks to the wonders of technology, we get new Super Street Fighter 4 costumes as downloadable content. Fifteen years ago, we would have had a "new" (read: slightly updated) game called Super Street Fighter 4: Hyper Dress-Up Edition.

• Is Explodemon pronounced like Pokémon or like some type of Jamaican "Explode-mon"? Either way, it looks fun. I'm gonna call it "Explo-demon."

• The makers of the new GoldenEye 007 game want fans to play local split-screen multiplayer because of its social nature. Unfortunately, that includes playing with that one paranoid friend of yours who likes to accuse everyone of looking at his screen.
