You awaken in a dark and dank surveillance room. Before you, a flickering screen beckons you to make a choice. You struggle against your bonds. Is this The Matrix? No, it's the menu screen for Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Video Blips:
• Treyarch has hidden secrets in every corner in Call of Duty: Black Ops — and some of them are just a keyboard press away. What's the command for "absurd"? [GameTrailers]
Continue after the break for a godly helmet from LittleBigPlanet 2, the Disneyland inspirations behind Epic Mickey's Wasteland, and wind-up Marios running amok in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!
• The "Creatinator" tool in LittleBigPlanet 2 allows Sackboy to conjure anything (and I mean anything) his little big heart desires. If there's ever a scenario where flopping fish and scarlet high heels are needed, I'd like to see it.

• Junction Point's Warren Spector gives the rest of us a tour of Epic Mickey's Wasteland and its Disneyland inspirations. I wish I had the same power to modify my surroundings with a paintbrush while visiting the Magic Kingdom.
