3. A look at how an acrylic storefront sign is made. Via.

Reversible box art for the ICO &Shadow of the Colossus reissue

The ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection is going to feature reversible box art, so you can replace the logo-heavy cover with some pretty pictures. It's a nice gesture, but doesn't make much sense to me - - does anyone display their game boxes? If these publishers were smart, they'd make covers that fold out into a really great posters. That way, people would be tempted to keep the covers, which in turn would make it less likely that they'd resell their games.

Twelve minutes of Arkham City gameplay. Catwoman's and Batman's combat moves look great. But everything in between looks pretty lackluster. I also cropped a few wallpaper-sized stills:
