X-Play and Tsquared have a few pointers for EA's Battlefield 3. If you don't want to have your ass handed to you, you're going to have to know a thing or two about your class. Before you start crying about the bourgeoisie and the caste system, watch this video and learn a thing or two.

In Battlefield 3 you can play as the following classes.

• Assault
• Engineer
• Support
• Recon

My go-to class is Engineer when I play BF3 or BF:BC2. What's your favorite class?

It's Monday morning, and we all need a lift, which is why another edition of G4tv.Comedy is here to give you a giggle. This time, we follow the exploits of a writer by the name of Alan Wake who's been hired to write a script for a videogame called American Nightmare, but who needs a little pharmaceutical help to get him in the mood.

Ladies and gentlemen, Alan Wake & Bake.

The great Tim Schafer's Kickstarter project to create a point-and-click adventure game has been so wildly successful that Schafer and Double Fine are looking to expand beyond the PC platform to other places. According to Schafer, the time has come to consider creating a broader audience for the as-yet-untitled game.

"I think we're ready to talk about other platforms like iPad and the consoles," Schafer told us at last week's DICE Summit. "We've exceeded our goals on it, so I think definitely you'll be seeing it in a lot of places."

Check out the video below to learn more about Double Fine's adventure game and Schafer's reaction to the veritable flood of money his company raised from Kickstarter.

There's soon to be another handheld in your hands, gamers: The PlayStation Vita. In the video below, X-Play takes a look at the PlayStation Vita, and really puts the machine through its paces... Check it out:

If you want to spice up your boring, old board games, check this out: Usaopoly announced a partnership with Blizzard Entertainment to release fresh takes on both Monopoly and Risk.  Get ready for Monopoly: World of Warcraft and Risk: StarCraft. The idea is to combine tried-and-true foundations with new designs and gameplay elements inspired by Blizzard’s popular gaming universes.

Monopoly: WoW will allow you to fight over iconic locations like Twilight Highlands, Grizzly Hills and the Swamp of Sorrows instead of Boardwalk and Baltic Avenues. Other notable highlights of the Monopoly game include custom sculpted houses (Warcraft towns) and hotels (Warcraft cities) plus a red and blue die representing the Horde and Alliance factions.  The game retails for $39.95 and will be available in specialty stores across North America in May.

The developers behind The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings are excited to launch their game on the consoles. Well, a console, the Xbox 360. Listen as the HEROES behind the game discuss how The Witcher 2 pays homage to the world of old-school RPGs. If you thought some of 2011's game didn't offer you enough choices, brace yourself for this title. Story in the name of the game and you are totally in control.

The Witcher 2 is out now for the PC and will be hitting the X360 on April 17, 2012.

I'm pretty sure that most of you played Skyrim last year. Even if you didn't, it was next to impossible to avoid features, interviews, lists and amazing "arrow in the knee" and "Fus Ro Dah" video hilarity. You also hopefully played Bastion, the digitally distributed action-RPG from Supergiant Games with a great sense of style and killer voice and music work, with particular props going to the game's narrator, Logan Cunningham.

YouTube user Egger3rd definitely played both games, and used that background to get creative with a cool machinima mash-up (via Destructoid) that you really ought to watch. It's a reinterpreted take on the Skyrim intro, with narration from Bastion voice actor Logan Cunningham. It's a great watch and, even better, it's only part one.

Last week, we brought SoulCalibur 5 users a SoulCalibur 5 creation guide, and provided directions on how to create some very un-SoulCalibur fighters like The Green Lantern and Dovakhiin from Skyrim. Our creative minds didn't stop there, though. The great Donell Tucker and Leah Jackson spent this week making SC5 version of characters like Tinkerbell, Freddy Krueger, Ghost Rider, and many more! Click on the video to check out  their work.

G4's Donell Tucker and fighting expert Ernie Moreno share their thoughts on the new fighting mechanics and gem system behind Capcom's Street Fighter X Tekken. This fighting franchise comes out in the beginning of March for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PlayStation Vita.

It's time for your daily dose of Around the Net with Candace Bailey and Kevin Pereira. This time, they welcome you to the world of sauna pants, the undead bin Laden, the coolest way to meet stairs, a new Old Spice commercial and a nice rhino.

Find the direct video links from Around the Net on Attack of the Show after the jump.

Well, this is weird. David Jaffe wants you to shoot Sweet Tooth's f%*king ice cream truck remotely from the comfort of your own home. That's right, the Twisted Metal director is holding a contest where you sign up for a chance to shoot the truck.

Over two days, this one truck will have over 100,000 bullets shot into it from users just like you. Isn't that...psychopathic? Maybe, but it's a fun stunt to get you to pre-order Twisted Metal. Before you sign up over at ShootMyTruck.com, watch this video of the psycho king himself, David Jaffe introducing the contest. There is a hell of a lot of David Jaffe language in the video, (a.k.a. NSFW). You've been warned!




Twisted Metal is out exclusively for the PlayStation 3 on February 14.

The 2012 DICE Summit is in full swing, and in a few minutes, the great David Jaffe (Twisted Metal, God of War)  will deliver a live-streamed speech for your viewing enjoyment. His talk begins at 11:45 and ends at 12"15. Check it out below:

Today on Tech Junkies we've got Hyperkin's portable SNES system, the SupaBoy. The SupaBoy is a portable device that's shaped like a SNES controller and uses old school cartridges to give you the ultimate feeling of nostalgia.  Sure you've got phones and other devices that can emulate all of these games, but walking around with a huge SNES controller is fun.

We checked out the product below on this week's episde of Tech Junkies and found that if you have a bunch of old SNES gaming lying around, this could be one of the most awesome SNES portables out there.

The SupaBoy retails for $79.99. It comes with an AV out and two controller ports so that you can play with your friends on a TV if you so desire. It doesn't come with any games though, so the product is definitely for those gamers who have a collection of games already, or those who don't mind finding some carts to use.

It'll play every old SNES game, but with a battery life of only 2.5 hours you won't want to use the SupaBoy for long car trips or plane rides. It's a fun product that we really liked here at the office and totally recommend to anyone with a backlog of SNES titles. For more information on the SupaBoy you can check out Hyperkin's website. 

What do you think of Hyperkin's SupaBoy?
