Out There: sexy Mass Effect, real Pip-Boy

Plus concepts from an unreleased post-apocalyptic driving game and the best video game song ever.

"Give at least 25 per cent of your game away" is Edge columnist Tadhg Kelly's advice for developers planning game demos, which seems a lot, but it's most likely to achieve both promotion and sales, because a big demo gets players talking about it. Kelly's best demo? Doom's, which comprised a whole third of the game. What's yours?

Here's Calum Alexander Watt's fantastic concept art for an unreleased PS2 "postapocalyptic driving/adventure game" that was to feature "the sounds, and including the members, of a popular anti-Napster mega band". Love the nod to Grant Wood's American Gothic.

Talking of post-apocalyptic adventure games, here's a (mostly) working Pip-boy 3000, made from an HTC Desire HD.

And here's some sexy Mass Effect 2 romping.

What better way to explore a gigapixel photograph than through a huge screen and with Kinect? Here's a video of just this at a recent event at the University of Lincoln, complete with ambient audio.

This is the best song ever named Video Games. Lana Del Rey’s upcoming single is lump-in-throat monumental, and we’ve no idea what it has to do with videogames.
