This week on Outside Xbox
Dead Space 3, Tomb Raider and Black Ops 2 tips from Treyarch.
Hello Eurogamers, it's time once again for an update from Outside Xbox! Most recently we've been preparing for Dead Space 3 with Show of the Week, in which we take a look at the game's new additions to the Dead Space formula, bemoan microtransactions, and explore terrible video game religions:

Allow us to recommend the tips videos from Treyarch's David 'Vahn' Vonderhaar, a man who knows his way around a Call of Duty map. Here's his advice for Grind, a skatepark-based level that plays like a murderous version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, to get you started:
For all this, plus our first forays into the Crysis 3 multiplayer beta and the 10 biggest drunks in video games, head to www.outsidexbox.com. See you next week!
