What makes this new Angry Birds Space trailer so special is not just because it clearly shows the title's new physics-based gameplay, but the fact that it was filmed on the International Space Station...in SPACE! With the help of NASA engineer, Don Pettit, we were treated to a cool physics lesson (complete with a crudely-drawn pig balloon) to get a general idea of what Angry Birds Space will differ from its predecessor. The trailer then ends with gameplay footage  to accurately show Pettit's lessons. 

Angry Birds Space will feature weightless environments, many of which are built around several circular planets. In addition, the game will include 60 levels, new (possibly alien-like) birds, bonus levels, and new abilities that are sure to frustrate anyone who fails a level.

Angry Birds Space will release on March 22, 2012, for iOS, Android, Mac, and PC.

Earlier last week, UbiSoft revealed that the setting to Assassin's Creed III would take place during the Revolutionary War circa 1777. In addition to the news of a Colonial setting that fans have clamored for since the first game, UbiSoft also released a launch trailer of the game depicting our latest assassin taking down a squad of British officers in a snow-covered forest. According to the publisher, the new assassin is named Connor, but was born Ratohnhaké:ton, which may hint that this new character is of Native American descent. 
[Update] - UbiSoft confirms that the protagonist of Assassin's Creed III is "of Native American and English heritage." Happy red coat-hunting, folks. 

Assassin's Creed III is slated for release on October 30, 2012, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, AND WiiU.
