Conan O'Brien took on Star Wars: The Old Republic's same sex relationship issue in his own special way last night on the show. Even though in this clip they don't actually use footage from SWTOR, the voice over clips are pretty funny. Check it out below.

Who do you plan to romance in Star Wars: The Old Republic?

Confession time: I still have yet to either watch or read Game of Thrones. I know. No, really... I KNOW. It'll happen, I promise. But since it hasn't happened yet, the import of this newly released trailer for the upcoming RPG from Cyanide Studio is a little lost on me.

Anyone who's reading this is probably pretty excited though, right? You find more stuff on the game's official website, but the "Riverspring" trailer offers a look at a newly revealed location. This one's more about scene-setting than showing off any action. You get plenty of looks at the game's seemingly solid visuals in motion, but there's no swordplay at all and very little blood. You also get a little bit of narration that fans of George R.R. Martin's work can no doubt make more sense of than I can.

There's no release date set yet for Game of Thrones, though the official website still lists it as coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in "early 2012."

The co-creator of the Xbox, Seamus Blackley, has announced his plans to launch a mobile-games studio, Innovative Leisure. Aided by a team of famous designers from Atari, he hopes to change the industry with iPhone and iPad games. Blackley will bring everything you loved about the arcade to the iOS.

“We are looking at the new arcade, and 99 cents on the iPhone is the new quarter,” said Blackley in an interview with VentureBeat.

Rockstar's balding hero is back with a new trailer for Max Payne 3. This gameplay video demonstrates the 608 Bull Revolver, which I've nicknamed "The Bull." Rockstar hopes to raise the combat bar with MP3.

You'll get to play with Max Payne's gun (oh yes I did) on May 15, 2012.

One of the most brilliant things about The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is its insanely amazing soundtrack. A group of Skyrim fans have taken Jeremy Soule's Dragonborn theme and created a rock remix that sounds incredible. I really love video game remixes and this is one of my favorites so far. Check it out below.

What's your favorite video game related remix? Does this one come near the top of your list?

Tim Schafer stopped by X-Play to show off Double Fine's latest game, Double Fine Happy Action Theater. The downloadable Kinect game comes with 18 unlockable activities from the get-go. I say activities rather than minigames because there's no way to lose. The point isn't to win, but to have fun. And by have fun I mean roll around in molten lava in your living room.

Double Fine Happy Action Theater is out now on XBLA for 800 Microsoft points.

Are you aware of the work of the great Michael Winslow? Star of the Police Academy movies and Space Balls? You know, that guy who makes noises with his mouth! X-Play recently asked Winslow to walk us through the history of sound effects in games, and he perfectly imitated game sounds, from Pong to Portal 2. Check it out in the video below:

In the original Darksiders you played as War, but in Darksiders 2 you're going to be playing as Death. Adam Sessler got a chance to sit down with David Adams, General Manager of Vigil Games, to talk about the upcoming sequel's upgraded graphics, story, and the character of Death, himself. You'll get to check out Death's abilities, fighting style, and more in the video below.

Darksiders 2 will be out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in Summer 2012. Check out our Darksiders 2 preview, too.

Big Huge Games wants you to be ready for their game Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. To help you prepare for KoA:R's launch next Tuesday, they've released a launch trailer. If you're new to Reckoning, it's a RPG that lets you choose your own path. To see what I mean watch the trailer below and check out the game when it is released on February 7th.

If you're a guy with your own player 2 (a.k.a. you have a girlfriend) I'm guessing that you can relate to just about everything that's in this "S%^t Gamers Say To Their Girlfriends" video. As someone who's dated gamers in the past, I can personally relate to a ton of the scenarios.

Note: The language is a bit NSFW. You've been warned!

YouTube user SkipPrime has created a simply amazing Half-Life 2 video entitled Half-Life 2: Godspeed You! Gordon Freeman. The video takes lyrics from the song "The Dead Flag Blues" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor and shows how closely the song relates to the events in HL2. I don't want to spoil anything in the video, but if you're a Half-Life fan it's absolutely worth the watch.

What did you think of Half-Life 2: Godspeed You! Gordon Freeman?
