At a surprise press conference yesterday, Microsoft unveiled Surface, a new line of tablets powered by Windows 8 and manufactured by Microsoft itself. The two models revealed each include the Window 8 OS, integrated kickstand and a detachable cover with keyboard functionality. No release date or price was announced, nor were many solid details revealed about how Surface will make use of existing Microsoft Assets like Xbox Live. However, it should be noted that Microsoft recently revealed SmartGlass, a new program that will allow your Xbox to wirelessly stream media to tablets, smartphones and other wired devices.

We'll keep you posted on Surface developments as they are revealed. 

These Space Invaders stickers from Blik are too cool not to share. We've tested out Blik's stuff before and love it, so naturally these retro game decals get our seal of approval. Stick 'em on, take 'em off, defend Earth from nasty aliens. Good stuff. Check 'em out right here. 

If I could completely subsist off of independent video games, I would. In the last six weeks, I've played through Journey, Limbo, Bastion, and Braid again, and I'm working through Catherine (bigger, but still). I love how off the wall they get. Give up more intangibles with fewer tangibles. That sort of thing.

E3 is in full swing. For the most part, there is a surprise here and there, but we aren't seeing anything so mind-liquefying or culture shocking as we always expect during this season. This HD generation has creaky old bones. Opulence has already been witnessed in years past. Seventh generation born franchises are getting deep into their third and fourth iteration.

But we've seen a few videos for games that offer up some real potential excitement. I'm going to list them for you as games to keep an eye on. Or, if not, at least something to feast your eyes on for the time being.

Yes, we know E3 is happening right now. We'll have some of the latest from the show in a bit. Until then, would you like to see just how much money Diablo III made in a single day? Of course you would, especially if it's in handy infographic form. Check it out below. 

Well, Among the Sleep, a new horror sim from Krillbite, takes the mystery and majesty of Amnesia and sticks it in front of the eyes of a toddler. And from the gameplay footage, you can see just the kind of nightmarish opulence we could be in store for.

According to PSBlog, both Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be available for download on June 26, 2012 on the PlayStation Network. The prices are not included in this, but I'd say you're looking at $19.99 for Uncharted 2 and $9.99 for the debut title. That would seem about right to me.

JD homie Greg Voakes has sent us many a tip over the last couple years, many of which have ended up on this page. And now our friend has found himself a gig at a pretty prestigious gig of his own: Forbes.com. We will always support those who have supported us, so we're happy to bring his new piece to your attention. In it, he speculates on how Diablo III's auction house feature could effectively end the practice of gold farming. Check it out right here, good folks. 

Ubisoft, here's a hint. Don't make live-action trailers. No one gives a shit about them, and they don't really tell us anything about the game.

What you gotta do is make this sort of shit, label it "a short film inspired by the events within Ghost Recon" and market it as collateral storytelling. That's interesting, and the production value on this is pretty awesome.

Now, this isn't gameplay footage, so don't get too high on it, but the real potential of the PlayStation 3 is showcased, and we're happy to watch.

Check back for more later -- this one is still young.
