If games ever adopt smell-o-vision, a level like this burning chateau in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is probably one you would want to pass on.  

Video Blips:

• The wonderful thing about video games like Uncharted 3 is they can take us to places that we might never go to in real life. Consider this video: When will you ever participate in a bloody shootout inside of a burning building?

Continue after the break for a look at how Rockstar Games created amazing detailed facial expressions in L.A. Noire, the trailer for the Fallout: New Vegas - Dead Money downloadable content, and a preview of PixelJunk Shooter 2.

• Rockstar Games' state-of-the-art technology allows them to translate all of the nuances of a person's voice and their facial movements onto a digital character. In other words, voice actors can't get by with only their chops these days -- they gotta look good, too.

• The Fallout: New Vegas - Dead Money DLC is a tale of an unlikely group of mutated misfits who band together for some kind of heist. Or maybe they all die early on. It really depends on how good at the game you are.

• At the beginning of this PixelJunk Shooter 2 trailer we see a bubbly purple liquid which looks like either acid or laundry detergent. I imagine that you don't want either of those getting into the crevices of your spaceship.
