After a couple months on hiatus, our developer diaries for Brink return[brinkthegame.com]. This week Splash Damage's audio director, Chris Sweetman, discusses his methodology for Brink's sound design -- covering everything from foley work to getting the perfect gun sound. And oh does Chris love gun sounds. If you've ever played the game BLACK (a game he previously worked on), you know you're in for a treat with Brink.

Chris' dev diary[brinkthegame.com] is accompanied by an arrangement he calls, "A Choir of Guns." Watch it above.

Over the past few months, we've shared videos from the Beyond the Brink: 2010 European Parkour Tour[www.parkourtour.com], featuring freerunning expert Daniel Ilabaca. If you haven't checked out the videos, we think you should -- they're pretty rad. Above, I've posted some crazy action from the tour's stop in Barcelona.

[static.zenimax.com]There's a fantastic new feature up at CG Society on Brink. The piece delves into the game’s unique art design — with a look at the games characters, environments, and more.

Definitely check it out[features.cgsociety.org], as there’s plenty of never-before-seen concept art.
