During last night's Microsoft's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/X10/">X10</a> press event, Bungie revealed the final box art for <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Halo-Reach/"><em>Halo: Reach</em></a>. (Spoiler: It's real pretty.) And just as we were about to tile images of the cover to dress up our desktop backgrounds, Bungie released perfectly sized wallpaper images on <a href="http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/images.aspx?c=60">its official site</a>. Nab the wallpaper for widescreen setups, CRT screens, and even your iPhone right now! It's the closest you're getting to the Spartan-heavy adventure until the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/11/halo-reach-beta-dated-may-3-only-for-odst-owners/">beta launches on May 3</a>.<br />

In a surprisingly lighthearted move, Rockstar appears to have responded to <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/rockstar-spouse/">recent accusations</a> of overwork (among <em>many</em> other things) with a series of wallpaper designs on its official site. The designs are presumably a comment based on statements made to the <a href="http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2010/01/12/former-rockstar-games-nyc-staffer-confirms-rockstar-san-diego-statements/">MTV Multiplayer Blog</a> from a former Rockstar New York employee who compared the company management's wandering focus to that of the vengeful "Eye of Sauron" -- the fictional all-seeing evil in the <em>Lord of the Rings</em> franchise. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/2010/01/15/2761/rockstar_wallpaper_collection_the_eye_is_watching">trio of wallpaper</a> designs -- which are not-so-subtly titled, "The Eye" -- may very well mark the first time that Rockstar has responded to claims of mismanagement and overworking its employees. While the wallpaper is certainly stylish enough for our computer backdrop, we can't help but think poking fun at reports that the company has treated its workers like robots is a little classless. Also, we have to wonder how many overtime hours were used to create these <em>totally radical</em> designs.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/01/16/rockstar-seemingly-responds-to-eye-of-sauron-comment-with-rad/">Rockstar seemingly responds to 'Eye of Sauron' comment with rad, rude wallpaper</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 16 Jan 2010 16:30:00 EST.

Our biggest problem when <em>not</em> playing <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/locoroco"><em>LocoRoco</em></a> is that we wished we were playing it. Sometimes, you're stuck in a situation where you just can't game, but that doesn't mean you can't have those cute and cuddly little blobs a mere glance away. That's where the PlayStation Blog comes in, as it's just <a href="http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2009/12/23/locoroco-festive-wallpapers/">posted</a> some festive <em>LocoRoco</em> wallpapers for all to enjoy, which differ somewhat from those posted by the American site <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/22/new-locoroco-midnight-carnival-dlc-just-in-time-for-the-holidays/">yesterday</a>.<br />

Feel free to slap 'em on your computer or on your PSP. And if anyone catches you staring and asks why you're crying, ignore them because that just means <em>they don't get it at all</em>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/23/locoroco-wallpapers-make-for-a-cute-christmas/">LocoRoco wallpapers make for a cute Christmas</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 23 Dec 2009 17:15:00 EST.

But one underappreciated aspect of the game is the <em>art</em>. Not only is there artwork for those myriad items in the database, 5th Cell's Edison Yan has developed an eye-catching style for the game that highlights, rather than hiding, the jointed nature of the sprites. On top of that, he's given the main character a rather quirky, memorable look.<br /><br />Yan created this image in celebration of the vaunted "<a href="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16184727&amp;postcount=217">Post 217</a>" of a NeoGAF <a href="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=16184727#post16184727"><em>Scribblenauts</em> thread</a>, in which poster "Feep" regales the forum with a tale of <em>bringing a dinosaur through a time machine to fight robot zombies</em>. As a result of this searingly awesome chain of events, "Post 217" has become a sort of shorthand for the infinite possibilities in <em>Scribblenauts</em>. As a gift to the NeoGAF community, Creative Director Jeremiah Slaczka had Yan whip this up. It's now available on <a href="http://ds.ign.com/dor/objects/14304256/scribblenauts/images/scribblenauts-20090615060345371.html">IGN</a> in wallpaper form, and we predict that it'll be on <em>your</em> desktop in about ten seconds.<br /><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/15/celebrate-a-legendary-scribblenauts-moment-with-this-wallpaper/">Celebrate a legendary Scribblenauts moment with this wallpaper</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 15 Jun 2009 16:15:00 EST.

All the art assets can be resized, and everything can have separate filters applied, all from a simple Flash interface. <br /><br />The image above is our humble effort, made in about five minutes. It wouldn't even have taken that long, except we kept trying to make funny ones and they kept coming out <em>cool.</em> We eventually just gave up on trying to subvert the thing and made one we <em>actually</em> like.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://gaygamer.net/2009/02/house_of_the_dead_overkill_get.html">GayGamer</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/11/house-of-the-diy-make-your-own-overkill-wallpaper/">House of the DIY: Make your own Overkill wallpaper</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:00:00 EST.

Bungie.net has updated the <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Halo-3-ODST/">Halo 3: ODST</a></em> page with a pair of fresh wallpapers. Game Informer subscribers might remember these two pieces of concept art from a recent issue of the magazine. Looking to dress up your desktop with some <em>Halo</em> flavor? <a href="http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&amp;cid=17073">Check them out</a>.<br /> <br /> <em>Halo 3: ODST</em> follows a lone soldier, crash-landed in New Mombasa. While <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/halo-3">Master Chief</a> can be considered <em>Superman</em>, this ODST soldier is more comparable to <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095016/">John McClane</a></em>. One guy with some sweet firepower versus insurmountable odds.

<p><em>Retro Game Challenge</em>'s official site recently opened to the public, with a design that is particularly <em><a href="http://www.retrogamechallenge.com/">righteous</a></em>, to use appropriately '80s parlance.</p>
<p>By using the on-screen TV remote to navigate the site, you'll be able to view the above trailer, read a synopsis of the utterly <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/19/get-zapped-into-the-80s-with-retro-game-challenge/">daft story</a>, and browse screens of (some of) the games you'll have to beat to overcome the creepy <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/game-center-cx-arinos-challenge/1242119/">Game Master Arino</a>: games like <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/game-center-cx-arinos-challenge/924685/">Cosmic Gate</a></em><em>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/game-center-cx-arinos-challenge/1242112/">Guadia Quest: Feast of the Mad King</a></em>, <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/game-center-cx-arinos-challenge/1242102/">Rally King</a></em>, and the very awesome-looking <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/game-center-cx-arinos-challenge/1242105/">Star Prince</a></em>. Feel free to peruse the 30 new English language shots in our gallery.</p>
<p>Oh yes, and there are wallpapers. Very, <em>very</em> rad wallpapers. Wallpapers that are so <em>unlimited</em> in their supreme radness that they have <em>totally</em> replaced our self-made Josh Groban tribute background -- <em>at least</em> until tomorrow.</p>

If Square Enix is trying to whip us into a froth for this one, well, it's working.

Wallpapers! You like them? Good, because that's all your getting in your PC Store update today. Not just one, not just two, not just (ok, that's enough - Ed). Nine entire wallpapers are now available, for your downloading pleasure. That's nine whole images, that Sony has uploaded to the store. How's that for a quality update?<br /><strong style="font-weight: normal;"><strong style="font-weight: normal;"><strong style="font-weight: normal;"><strong style="font-weight: normal;"><strong style="font-weight: normal;"><strong style="font-weight: normal;"><strong style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: italic;">

PSU members had a chance to show off their artistic side by crafting some posters for the PSP-exclusive <em>Secret Agent Clank</em>. The developers at High Impact and Sony took a look at their creations, and chose their favorite ones. The best entries were bundled into a Fan Pack, which includes all sorts of avatars, PSP themes and wallpapers for fans to enjoy.<br /><br />

We just got a press release sent in about some cool features at the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/21/e308-wii-fanboy-fights-crime-in-lego-batman/"><em>LEGO Batman</em></a> website. The only problem is, these features have not gone live yet. That isn't stopping us from telling you what to expect, though.<br /><br />First of all, there's a downloadable widget for your desktop, in the form of Batman himself or The Joker. Also, there's a tool for creating your own custom wallpapers, if you're into that sort of thing. Then, there's the usual: screens, video (the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/14/lego-batman-game-should-be-better-than-the-movies/">E3 trailer you saw already</a>) and other miscellaneous goodies. Keep an eye on the site for the new content, which is supposed to be live right now, but wasn't when we checked.<br /><br />On top of that, there's also a new Facebook group for the game. That is, if you're into the whole social networking site <em>thing</em>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.legobatmangame.com/">Source</a> - <em>LEGO Batman</em> website<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/LEGO-Batman-The-Videogame/29056856209">Source</a> - <em>LEGO Batman</em> Facebook group<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/23/lego-batman-website-gets-some-updates-facebook-group/">LEGO Batman website gets some updates, Facebook group</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:00:00 EST.

<br />Sitting on top of a wandering iceberg, the young girl should be more concerned with her predicament. But she's with a friend, and her toes and her ears, the two parts of her she loathes to feel cold, are kept toasty by her Persian red boots and matching hood, so she sees no reason to worry.<br /><br />She digs a PlayStation Portable out her bulky purse, bored with the slowly moving South Pole scenery. As she tilts the colorful, jelly-like creatures on the handheld's screen, she cozies against her companion's warm, fleece back. <br /><br />Under them, the floating platform cracks with quiet pops and groans, like ships at sea. The girl hears a splash to her left, a smiling seal barking for their attention.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/19/the-ds-life-adrift-in-the-antarctic/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The DS Life: Adrift in the Antarctic</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/19/the-ds-life-adrift-in-the-antarctic/">The DS Life: Adrift in the Antarctic</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EST.

It's no secret that <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Team-Fortress-2">Team Fortress 2's</a></em> Sniper has it hard. Bogged down by <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/17/team-fortress-2-meet-the-sniper/">professional courtesy</a> and parents that <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI0dCVwdedE">just don't understand</a>, the Sniper could use our moral support. Thankfully you can help by <a href="http://www.thebbps.com/blog/2008/06/17/wallpaper-the-sniper-looks-to-the-future/">dressing your desktop</a> with this picturesque Sniper wallpaper. We're not sure why he would stand in the middle of a desolate wasteland, without cover, but we'd like to think that the picture was taken moments after headshotting the last remaining person on Earth. Thankfully, we all respawned.

The official website for Mistwalker's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/28/new-trademark-hints-at-localized-away-shuffle-dungeon/"><em>Away: Shuffle Dungeon</em></a> is up, with something to help pass the time while waiting for the dungeon crawler's eventual release: a Flash minigame based on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_%28game%29">Concentration/Memory</a> (click on the circle with the word "open" on it). <em>Away: Shuffle Minigame</em> (that's the official title!) comprises three levels of Memory played on a 6 x 3 grid, with the goal of flipping matching pairs of cards to reveal portraits of <em>Away's</em> characters.<br /><br />For the first two levels, it's straightforward enough: you have 60 (and then 50) seconds to find all nine pairs, just like any other Memory game. In the third level, all the cards are blank but three: one pair to match, and one card that resets the locations of those two cards. Oh, and the rows of cards are constantly moving around. At the end, you're awarded with a desktop wallpaper. Have fun!

If there's one thing to be said about <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/04/okami-keeps-us-hungry-like-the-wolf-for-three-more-weeks/"><em>Okami</em></a>, it's that the game is <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/24/more-like-whoa-kami/">stunningly beautiful</a>. The cel-shaded characters and environments evoke a lovely, traditional feel that would be soothing if it wasn't quite so incredibly <em>kick ass</em>. If Capcom's new <em>Okami</em> art site is any indication, it's also incredibly inspirational, because there's a section dedicated to fan art, as well as a number of official pieces. And if you're interested in brushing up your desktop, there are several gorgeous wallpapers, available in sizes to suit even the biggest desktops. We've got previews tucked away in our gallery below.<br /><br />If the web site isn't enough to fulfill all your visual <em>Okami</em> needs, you can order the official art book for $39.99. That only seems like a lot until you <a href="http://www.udonentertainment.com/okami/">get a peek at the package</a>.<br /><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/04/immerse-yourself-in-the-art-of-okami/">Immerse yourself in the art of Okami</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 04 Apr 2008 09:45:00 EST.

<br />Despite the endless praise <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/shiren-the-wanderer">Shiren the Wanderer's</a></em> fans have for the new DS remake, you need only look to the nearest gaming forum to find examples of curious gamers immediately turned off by <em>Shiren's</em> US/EU boxart. Of all the marvelous concept art Sega of America had at its disposal, <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/media/2008/03/shiren-wallpaper-boxart-0-dsf.jpg">this</a></em> is what the publisher decided on?<br /><br />In a post at Jeremy Parish's (of 1UP fame) blog holding roguelikes up as "the quintessential desert-island-game genre," commenter Emilio shared a link to wallpapers fashioned from that official artwork, and, as you can see in the cropped shot above, they are <em>divine</em>.<br /><br />You can grab 1024x768 and 1280x1024 versions by loading up the <a href="http://chun.sega.jp/shiren/">official Japanese site</a> and selecting the fourth option in the top-right menu scroll. Or you can just page through the wallpapers in <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/mystery-dungeon-shiren-the-wanderer/">our gallery</a>!

When we saw this desktop wallpaper of <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/28/here-come-two-new-vc-challengers-from-capcom/">Final Fight</a>'s</em> most shirtless protagonist, Mike Haggar, piledriving a shark, we knew we had to post it. We also set it as our own wallpaper, then resized it and set it as our phone wallpaper. We've currently got an order pending at the printer's for our Haggar-piledriving-a-shark flag, which we plan to display proudly outside our home, as a sign of allegiance. To Haggar piledriving a shark.<br /><br />We think we've found the <a href="http://three.fsphost.com/junkboy/gfx/sketch_haggar.jpg">original sketch</a> by <a href="http://three.fsphost.com/junkboy/">Junkboy</a>, but we don't know who did the awesome coloring.

We were just talking about official sites <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/08/30/ds-daily-official-sites/">this morning</a>, and look! We've got an example of that very thing right there. The official page for <em>Phantom Hourglass</em> on Nintendo's <em>Zelda</em> site has been updated, and you'll never guess what sort of content is there! Unless, of course, you said "wallpapers, screenshots, and video." However did you guess?<br /><br />Still, it's <em>Zelda</em>, and that makes it special. We could handle a <em>Zelda</em> wallpaper for a while.

One other thing is the same as well: they almost always have the same content! Character bios, screenshots, wallpaper, and the occasional trailer ... and while they're usually fun to dip into, can't we have something more? Some games go the extra mile and offer different types of content, like mini demos, but usually the best you can hope for is a site with frequent updates. Does this work for you, or do you crave something more? What are some of your favorites?<br /><br />[Shirt found <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/generic/5eb7/">here</a>, but bloggers are <em>everywhere</em>.]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/08/30/ds-daily-official-sites/">DS Daily: Official sites</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 30 Aug 2007 09:00:00 EST.

<br />If you happen to use your computer near someone who fancies themselves a <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/05/09/jack-thompson-goes-after-wendys-logic/">Jack Thompson-alike</a>, then boy have we got something for you: freakalicious <em>Manhunt 2</em> wallpapers to dress up that desktop. There's nothing like a giant glaring eyeball of <em>death</em> to get you through the workday. <br /><br />Our spiffy new galleries balk at anything over 800px wide, so you'll have to hit the source for the bigger, better versions. To make up for it, we added some screenshots as well.

Entertainment's trademark music synestesia.<br /><br />In preparation for the game's European release, Buena Vista has prepared a new trailer and a few new wallpapers for you to download to your PSP. You'll learn how to play this puzzling game, and find some sweet designs for you to plaster your system with. Expect our full review of the game in next few days.<br />

89 of 'em to be exact. That's really making the <em>Et tu, Brute? </em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/12/20/halo-3-brute-video/">documentary</a> last a little while longer, and moves things up to a whole new level of fanaticism. It also proves that <em>Halo</em> fans are hardcore, and are probably going through Bungie's trash bins on a nightly basis. Let us know if you find anything good, but if you find Frankie's chewed gum ... spare us the dental records.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.younewb.com/index.php/2006/12/20/89-shots-from-the-new-halo-3-documentary-eu-tu-brute/">Check out</a> all of the photo-remnants from the chop-job on YouNEWB.com, and try to find new tidbits about the upcoming <em>Halo 3</em>. At the very least, you've got all new desktops for your computer, and at the worst, you've wasted 15 minutes of your life. Blame us or love us, it's your call.<br />

In typical Sony style, this pack comes late into the month, but at least they have the courtesy to get rid of that silly "calendar" feature that pointed quite fruitless. This month's content pack features tons of promotional material from <em>ATV Offroad Fury Pro</em>, <em>SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 2</em>, and more.<br /><br />The real highlight is the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/12/11/loco-roco-christmas-downloadable-demo-m/"><em>Loco Roco</em> demo</a> that was released a few days ago. The holiday-inspired music is also included in this content pack, along with other samples from other PSP soundtracks.

There's also an in-game points system, which encourages players to redeem their hard-earned points for ringtones and wallpapers. <em>Monotone</em> is currently available on Japan's DoCoMo network.

This month is no different. Coming out halfway through the month seems a little lame, especially considering how it offers you a calendar. Oh well. This month's content pack features tons of still improperly-formatted, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamorphic">non-anamorphic video</a> (WHY???!!!) of the poorly-reviewed <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/category/gangs-of-london/"><em>Gangs of London</em></a>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/category/atv-offroad-fury/"><em>ATV Offroad Fury Pro</em></a>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/category/killzone/"><em>Killzone: Liberation</em></a>, and various PS2 games.<br /><br />There's other stuff, like some excellent fan-created <em>Killzone: Liberation</em> wallpapers, made by GAP members. There's also a nice treat for <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/category/loco-roco/"><em>Loco Roco</em></a> fans, featuring a single minute of abruptly cut music. Damn you Sony! Why must you tease us like that!<br /><br />[Thanks, <a href="http://starskreem.deviantart.com/">starskreem</a>!]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/10/14/psp-october-content-pack-now-available/">PSP October Content Pack now available</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 14 Oct 2006 10:30:00 EST.

The catchy tune by Genki Rockets has been stuck in my head for the past few days, and I decided to share the love through this exclusive Heavenly Star fan pack. Included in this zip file are 20 PSP-formatted wallpapers, the song as an MP3 and a PSP-formatted version of the music video.<br /><br />"While most of my creative energy has been devoted to video games, because music plays such an important role in them, it seemed ideal to create an original music video," Mizuguchi stated about his original creation. <em>Lumines II</em> hits stores on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GA75RA?tag=prey0f&amp;camp=0&amp;creative=0&amp;linkCode=as1&amp;creativeASIN=B000GA75RA&amp;adid=0WPYPH4DNTFFSE21FCEH&amp;">November 7th</a>.
