    The most cryptic trailer so far for the Spike Video Game Awards 2012 was one for a game called The Phantom Pain. We have no idea what it is, since we've never heard of developer Moby Dick Studio.All we know is that it had a bunch of patients being mowed down and blown up in what looks like a hospital. It ends with a close-up on some dude who had a hook hand and kinda looked like Snake from Metal Gear Solid. We'll update as soon as we figure this out.Update: Check out the trailer yourself just beyond the break!Update 2: Sadly, this trailer's been pulled. We'll update this post (and the rest of our VGA 2012 posts with video) as soon as it's back up.

    This Etsy seller has come up with a really great idea for iPad cases: Make them out of famous childrens' books. Seller chicklitdesigns has taken the covers of old printings of The Giving Tree, Cat in the Hat, and even Moby Dick, and turned them into cases for iPads, Kindles, and other tablets, available for sale right ow. Part of me is a little disappointed these books got ripped apart in this way -- there may come a time when we wish we'd had more of these titles around. But it's definitely a cool idea, and a very nice, homemade way to spruce up your iPad. The handmade-to-order cases start at around $79.99. [via Child Mode]
