Rambo: The Video Game There’s a new Rambo game? This one really crept up on me – which I suppose is appropriate given the elite stealth skills of Sly Stallone’s mass-murdering PTSD sufferer. According to the publisher bumpf, the forthcoming game will recreate iconic sequences from the first three movies by way of fixed-perspective first-person shooting. Several such fixed-perspectives, which should be immediately recognisable to fans of the series, can be viewed after the jump.
The game also promises "authentic Rambo gameplay comprising shoot-outs, stealth killings, demolition, knife-play and more” and will "leverage contemporary gameplay elements such as destructible terrain, cover-based shooting and rag-doll physics”. Good to know – I love it when games leverage things.
It’ll be interesting to see how they marry an on-rails murdergasm with the narrative of the (actually rather good) first film, which largely consists of a homeless veteran struggling with his inner demons while sneaking round a forest.
Rockstar Games consistently re-releases its back catalog of games in new and interesting ways. A new listing sees Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, L.A. Noire, Midnight Club: Los Angeles Complete Edition, and Red Dead Redemption in one package.

Killzone 1 HD Is Included On-Disc With The Killzone Trilogy, Requires 3GB Install October 11, 2012 - Roland Kerr - 1 Comment
You can expect our full review of the Killzone Trilogy soon, but in the meantime, we can clear up whether or not Killzone 1 HD is a PSN download or not.
As you can see in the above picture, the original Killzone in full HD and complete with trophies is included on the same disc as Killzone 2, meaning that you won’t have to download it from the PSN at all. The only downside is that you have to do a mandatory install for it, which takes up 3,036 MB.
The Killzone Trilogy will be available on October 23rd for $39.99 and Killzone 1 HD will be out the same day on the PSN for $14.99.
Potential Steam exploit discovered by security firm Technology security firm Revuln has released details of a potential exploit utilising Steam and Safari.
According to the company’s report [PDF], Steam’s external protocol links – those used to quickly open Steam and install games directly from your browser, as from the online storefront – can be opened invisibly within Safari. A malicious party could utilise this to compromise remote systems, apparently.
While most other major browsers prompt the user before opening an application, Safari is the default browser of OS-X and has quite a large footprint, making the exploit somewhat serious.
If you’re the techy type, the full report accessible at the link above is likely to be of interest; otherwise, sit tight for word from Valve as to how serious it considers this problem and whetherpreventative measures will be enacted.

Double Fine Adventure ended in March raising $3,336,371. Project Eternity sits at $3,577,505 with about 7 hours to go at the time of this posting.
