In Behind The Bytes, we peddle completely fictitious short documentaries, looking at the scandalous lives of video game characters, a la the sensationalist nonsense of VH1's Behind The Music. We offer a fresh, and potentially libellous take on the video game characters that we all love, or, in Tails’ case, barely notice.

Amazing project - looking forward to the next ones! They're also on Twitter here.

Social gaming taken to a new level? All within Facebook? Sure looks promising. Found it on Harry's Posterous.

I got StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty a few days ago and didn't stop playing until I literally finished the entire campaign. Just like many other people my age, I grew up with StarCraft, so I was extremely curious to see whether its sequel (about 10 years in the making) would live up to the expectations - and good news, it definitely does!

The story is simply awesome - I would even dare to compare it to Star Wars (for example, the dialogue constantly reminded me of the Jedi Knight franchise). And the gameplay has definitely improved, with loads of alien-decimating new units and upgrades. And a sweet engine. Numbers-wise, it became 2010's best selling PC game within 24 hours of launch, selling about 1 million copies worldwide (and an all-time record-breaking 1.5 million in the first 48 hours) - so that should also say something...

Wings of Liberty is the first of three installments of the sequel, focusing on the Terran race (you'd think you only get to play Terrans in the campaign, but not really). Then we'll have Heart of the Swarm (focusing on the Zerg) and finally Legacy of the Void (Protoss).

See you on Battle.net!

There's a nifty urban ARG called London Action coming up next week, and it sounds quite appealing:

"You’ll be given a device equipped with GPS and image-recognition software free of charge. Using this tool you’ll pick up streaming videos and virtual clues hidden in the nooks and crannies of the urban landscape. Every lead you find takes you deeper into the history of the resistance and presents a new challenge."

Interestingly enough, it's not something backed by any big companies - instead, it's all about charity. Picked it up from Londonist. If it all still seems a bit confusing, you can find guidance here.
