Now, we don’t even know if this is real. And if it is, whether it’s Portal, or just a pared-down imitation of it. But it certainly looks like other iPhone ports – less stuff and clunky controls – so if it is fake, at least they got that part right. The Cake May Be a…

By day, Herbert Lowis works as an artist at Propaganda Games, the team currently working on the new Pirates of the Caribbean game. But by night? He’s capable of stuff like this.

Guitar Hero 5’s tracklist water torture continues today, with Activision announcing 22 more tracks for the game, along with shots of the game’s new drum kit.
