Perhaps you've heard of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/red-vs-blue"><em>Red Vs. Blue</em></a>? The amateur movie makers at Rooster Teeth used the <em>Halo</em> franchise to launch a rather prolific machinima series, with over 100 episodes constructed from naught but witty dialogue and bobbing cyborg heads. Naughty Dog is hoping the community will take advantage of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/uncharted-2"><em>Uncharted 2</em></a> in the same way with its suite of impressive machinima tools.<br />
<br />
Most will use the in-game recording to show off their best multiplayer moments, but the truly dedicated will be enticed by what <em>Uncharted 2</em> can offer. Players can place Drake in front of a green screen, for example, and queue up various animations and camera angles. Taking that footage, a professional video editor can transplant Drake into the Sex and the City movie or an old episode of Power Rangers -- the possibilities are endless!<br />
<br />
In addition, players can don a headset when doing facial close-ups. The animation system is intelligent enough to turn your audio stream into lip syncing for the on-screen characters. For added authenticity, you can even hire <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0636046/">Nolan North</a> to voice Drake. It should be pretty easy, considering he seemingly <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/halo-wars">never</a> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/shadow-complex">turns</a> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/prince-of-persia">down</a> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/infamous">a</a> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/alpha-protocol">role</a> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/army-of-two"><em>ever</em></a>. Check out the tools in motion after the break.<br />

<div align="left"><br />We really want to be charmed by <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/15/x-play-gets-their-hands-on-order-up/" style="font-style: italic;">Order Up!</a>, but this gameplay video was more sleep inducing than a lecture on the merits of drying paint. We just can't help but feel a bit of a "been there, done that" vibe when it comes to this upcoming SuperVillain Studios title.<br /><br />The promise of restaurant management elements seem like the game's one saving grace, as it sets <em>Order Up</em>! apart from the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Cooking-Mama/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Cooking Mamas</span></a> and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/dinerdash/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Diner Dashes</span></a> of the world. We would have much rather preferred to see a gameplay video of how the sim stuff works. However, since the game <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/24/flipping-burgers-with-order-up/">did show some initial promise</a>, we'll approach it with an open mind when it releases in late July.<br /><br />On a related note, Amazon and other retailers list a $39.99 price point for <span style="font-style: italic;">Order Up!</span> Do you think that's still too high for the title, or does $40 hit your virtual restaurant-loving sweet spot?<br /><br />
