Kotaku's already shown twenty-three blissful minutes of lag-free Battlefield 3. The game looks realistic. It's like you're right there on the Caspian border. Know what's not realistic? Flying tanks. Oh, and spinning jeeps. Floating dudes, too.

In July 2010, internet person Akula started a new project - and a very ambitious project at that. Akula wanted to turn video game Battlefield Bad Company 2 into a tabletop game.
You've been here before - pinned down by a sniper. But something about Battlefield feels fresh and immediate. This might be modern warfare, but that doesn't mean this is old hat, not by a damn sight.

Vietnam games and movies often rely heavily on old chestnuts like "Paint It Black" or "Fortunate Son" to capture an era. One Vietnam game enlisted some dude from Sweden instead.

The upcoming Medal of Honor reboot and Battlefield Bad Company 2 might very well have the best gun noises gaming has ever seen. Err, heard.
Maybe not better — the game's already great — but better. "Yakety Sax", too.
