Like many folks, I’ve got a complicated relationship with pre-game splash screens. On the one hand, I like that series of middleware introductions, publisher logos, and various other graphical preamble that flash across my screen, largely because of how I savour them the first time I’m playing a game that I’m excited about.

As promised, the Medal of Honor video, directed by Linkin Park’s Joe Hahn, featuring both live-action and gameplay sequences set to the band’s new song “The Catalyst,” went up today. Someone certainly grew an epic beard for this trailer.
Here at Kotaku, we’re big proponents of facial hair, even if some of our esteemed colleagues aren’t with the program yet. Now science proves that a bushy moustache does indeed make males more attractive to females. Well female fish, at least.
Fallout 3 knows the rules: beards make video games better. Take these pics as example, showing that even some of the all-time greats – like Mario, Metal Gear and Zelda – can be made greater by handing out beards.
Probably. I’ll have to revisit Quest for Glory II, and check the Dervish’s to make sure. Regardless, the LittleBigPlanet Druid’s beard is long. Longer than Tim Schafer’s. Longer, even, than Gandalf’s. And that’s official.
Early this morning Home Beta version 1.04 hit, bringing with it some much needed beards. But it took away voice chat.
