Left 4 Dead’s ‘Tank’ figure unveiled, busting through bank accounts

We’ve got some mixed emotions about the just revealed Tank mini-statue (statuette just doesn’t seem fitting for a giant terrifying zombie), created by Gaming Heads for Valve. Sure, its detail is marvelous and it comes with a totally sweet , albeit miniature, pump-action shotgun, but it’s also 325 real-life actual dollars for the “exclusive edition”. At 15 inches tall, you’d better have a real special place in your heart (and in your house, preferably a cage) to shell out that kind of cash.

It appears that we’ll see another addition to the Operation Flashpoint series in the coming year, with Operation Flashpoint: Red River being outed recently by OXM UK (via CVG ). Other than revealing the title, OXM UK editor John Hicks also noted that the game is a sequel to last year’s Dragon Rising and feels “tighter, more focused” than the last game. Presumably, Red River is being developed by Codemasters’ Southam studio, as revealed by Codies VP Gavin Cheshire just last week.

After the surprisingly funny Sordahon’s Journey videos , it’s disappointing to see SouthPeak return to a more traditional style for its latest Two Worlds 2 trailer. Sure, you might actually learn something about the game — the fact that it looks worlds better, for example — but where’s the fun in that?

Casual giant Zynga is shutting down its Street Racing game on August 2, immediately rendering void all the in-game items players bought with real money. Zynga offered no explanation in the announcement, simply suggesting that players try other Zynga games.

Yeah, now that we think about it, Princess Zelda in Spirit Tracks wasn’t exactly the most flattering portrayal of the titular heiress. In Ocarina of Time , she masqueraded around as this badass ninja, in Twilight Princess , she was a killer with a bow and arrow — heck, in Wand of Gamelon , you actually get to play as Zelda
