These will be available on February 7th. All of the artwork in the trailers looks fantastic, so you may want to consider purchasing them.

As a Bond nut, this Blu-ray set announcement has me pretty excited. You can pre-order it on Amazon.

Mad Dog McCree is a reminder on an odd era in gaming where full-motion video was integrated with arcades to provide a bizarre blend of experiences. I remember playing this light gun game at an arcade as a teenager, and these types of games were later released on laserdisc as well.
You can now play the game in a much more accessible way courtesy of a new iOS version that is available today. You can download it here, and be sure to watch the fantastic trailer below.

This is a bit of a personal plug, but the MMO I work on as the producer for the BBC launched into open preview today. Doctor Who: Worlds in Time is an online MMO that is focused on collaborative puzzle-solving and was developed by Three Rings (creators of Spiral Knights and Puzzle Pirates). I may be biased, but the game is a lot of fun and appeals to new-comers and fans of the show alike.
Kotaku had a great write-up here, and also you should watch the trailer and "making of" featurette below.

This is an amazing art project that blends chiptunes from the amazing Anamanaguchi, crazy effects, and advertising.
From the creators:
During Art Basel in Miami, we used 3D projection mapping technology to transform the façade of Ocean Drive's famous Tides Hotel into a giant 8,000-square-foot-canvas. Starring the Hyundai Veloster, the projection celebrated old school video games choreographed to an original 8-bit score composed by the popular chiptune band, Anamanaguchi.

Lego Cuusoo is a peer submission platform where fans can vote on design submissions, and if they get enough momentum Lego will actually release the set.
Mojang has actually started a new project to create official Minecraft sets. This seems like a match made in blocky heaven. You can vote for the project here.

via venturebeat.comThe classic gaming publication has shut down today. I used to love GamePro, especially during my Sega years with a Genesis and Game Gear. It is a shame to see a part of my childhood close its doors.

This little printer doles out a daily dose of social news, info, puzzles, and more. It seems similar to the Chumby and Nabaztag, but with a more analog and tangible flair.
