Whew, that was a lot of colons. The games featured in today's Video Blips should gang up on poor Burnout Crash and force its induction into their "Colon Club."

Video Blips:

• The Riddler's brain-twisters hint of an unbalanced mind in Batman: Arkham City. But that's a given gleaned from his moonlighting (sunlighting?) job as anti-bailout pitchman Matthew "Loaded" Lesko.

Continue after the break for Professor Genki's colorful products in Saints Row: The Third, the densely cluttered city hubs of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and Burnout Crash's blink-and-you'll-miss-it debut.

 

• This Saints Row: The Third trailer for Professor Genki's Super Ballistic Manapult and Powerfully Incapacitating Octopus Gun somehow forgot a disclaimer for psychedelic color overload. Luckily, Monday sucked the joy right out of my eyeballs. Garfield was right.

• The cities of Deus Ex: Human Revolution act as intrigue-filled playgrounds for the discerning cyborg connoisseur. My compliments to the city's upstanding team of lighting technicians for not overstepping the rules of affixing only golden-colored lights everywhere.

• I assume Burnout Crash involves cars slamming into solid objects, but this trailer woefully dispenses with detail. If I ever saw a "Be prepared to crash" sign while driving, I'd follow common sense and dive out. After recording the impact for my imminent viral video stardom, of course.
