If you thought the creative muse of artistry only extended to humans, then I know a certain brush-happy mouse from Epic Mickey who wants to have a few words with you.

Video Blips:

• You know the old saying: If you give a mouse a paintbrush, he'll want to revitalize the Cartoon Wasteland while battling the nefarious Phantom Blot. On second thought, maybe that's not how it goes.

Continue after the break for the adventures of a boy and his towering jackal-and-griffin thing in The Last Guardian, the tense impenetrability of the jungles in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam, and Red Dead Redemption's explosive rifle. (Yes, you read that right.)

• Following the footsteps of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian tasks a young boy with exploring mysterious and cavernous ruins -- but this time, he's got a very large friend. I can't imagine how this kid is going to convince his parents to keep his behemoth companion.

• The tranquil tones of Buffalo Springfield's "For What it's Worth" clash with the terror of war in this trailer for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. Let me get the necessary prediction out of the way: No, the game won't feature a mission to hunt a renegade Green Beret.

• Red Dead Redemption's "Liars and Cheats" add-on pack brings multiplayer goodies such as poker and hunting grounds -- but all of that pales in comparison to the mighty explosive rifle. It's a two-in-one benefit: Not only are you guaranteed to defeat your foes, but the resultant explosion takes care of those messy corpses for a safer and cleaner Wild West!
