In a new episode of Inside Xbox (available on your Xbox Live Dashboard), Trials Evolution developer RedLynx shows off some of the game's hectic multiplayer action.

As you'll see, Trials Evolution is quite an…evolution of Trials HD, with a new focus on larger, outdoor environments and real-time online multiplayer. For more, check out our previous preview of the game.

Many of the Game Informer staffers share similar passions to our readers outside of video games – whether that be films, television shows, books, comics, tabletop games, or watching clips of creepy people on YouTube. To round out our end of year coverage we decided it would be nice to share our favorite songs of the year with the community. You'll notice that all of these songs are from albums that came out in 2011. That essentially eliminates any selections from Dan Ryckert, who stubbornly believes rock 'n roll (and therefore all creative music) died in 1978. But as this Spotify playlist shows, he's dead wrong.

A host of Fox content, from Fox News to Family Guy, will soon be available on Xbox Live.

Through a new partnership with News Corporation (the parent company of Fox TV), a host of Xbox Live apps will launch this year featuring a wide variety of content. The most high profile content is Fox television shows like Family Guy, House, New Girl, and Glee (though the press release did not specifically mention The Simpsons, we hope that show will be included as well).

You'll also be able to access content from other News Corporation outlets like IGN.com and The Wall Street Journal.

In related news, Microsoft also announced some new Xbox Live media deals in other territories including Canada (AstralMedia's Disney XD, Real Sports) and Germany (Mediathek/ZDF).

One of the trickier parts of a sequel can be explaining how the events of the previous story line up with the new one. Radical Entertainment is tackling that challenge with help from Dark Horse Comics. An upcoming digital comic series will explain how players moved from Alex Mercer's story to new hero Sgt. James Heller's adventure.

“We’re always looking for meaningful ways to expand the Prototype universe, and Dark Horse Comics is an industry-leading creative powerhouse delivering best-in-class graphic storytelling that integrates deeply to the core of our IP,” gushes Ken Rosman, studio head at Radical. “With this partnership, our fans will finally be given answers to some dramatic loose ends from the first Prototype game, as well as the truth behind Alex Mercer’s descent and evolution into a twisted shadow of his former self for Prototype 2.”

The three-issue arc will launch February 15 on Dark Horse Comics' digital site, with the remaining installments becoming available every two weeks.

“Sgt. James Heller’s heart-wrenching backstory meshed with the sheer amount of over-the-top shape-shifting action in Prototype 2 lend themselves perfectly to a comic book series,” says Dave Marshall, editor of Dark Horse Comics. “We worked extremely close with Radical Entertainment’s story team for Prototype 2, and can’t wait to visually walk fans through the many dark secrets strewn throughout the tattered world of New York Zero!”

The first installment, illustrated by Paco Díaz is called "The Anchor," and, follows Alex Mercer's journey after the first game. "The Survivors" (illustrated by Chris Staggs) shows how New York's residents are dealing with the Blacklight virus as they try to escape the quarantined city. It all wraps up with Victor Drujiniu's "The Labyrinth," which shows how Heller fits into the overall story.

Expect to see lots of blood, tentacles, and crashing helicopters.
