One of the new features exclusive to Bad Company will be the addition of 90% destructible environments, including buildings, vegetation, vehicles, and more. Still, for gameplay purposes, the frames of buildings and other objects will remain indestructible, to prevent the environment from becoming completely flat
There’s no shame in always having a few lightsabers ready, especially at a bus stop in New York — you never know when Sith might drop in. Unfortunately, no action shots are available.
Sadly, I think these lightsabers planted by SpikeTV might not be the real flesh-disintegrating deal, so even if you did break in case of Sith (or muggers) at best you could just beat them over the head and hope they don’t Force choke you and steal your wallet

No Star Trek fan’s home is complete without these pixel-art/3D masterpieces, made from thousands of beads — includes the “holodeck door, Enterprise-D’s bridge, and the ‘beaming down” series.’ Click here for first picture in gallery.

Nintendo’s Mario Kart Wii is set for release on April 27th in the US (April 10th Japan). GT provides us with a first look at the Japanese intro. Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.
I’ve got to say I was far happier with the graphics than I expected to be. Each track had a completely different flavour. From the gently swaying trees and difficult to dodge cows in the meadow course to the conveyor belts and crane-carried platforms in the Toad’s factory course, each track brought back a fond new memory of a Nintendo title from yesteryear but presented them with fresh style
