Happy Friday, lovers! On today's Destructiod Show, we've got EVEN MORE GTA V SCREENSHOTS OH GOD WHY, a review for CounterStrike: Global Offensive, a 16-bit de-make of Borderlands 2, and a developer diary showing off some of Dishonored's stealthy kills. Also, it looks like Sony has filed a patent for playable mini-game advertisements, and Destructoid's PAX Party is a 1-2-3-GO!

Episode 351 of the Destructoid Show:

New Video Highlights the Basics of Stealth in Dishonored

While quite a bit more straightforward than the recent "Creative Kills" trailer, this video highlights stealth gameplay, a major element of Dishonored. You'll be able to visualize enemies' lines of sight and, unless I'm mistaken, even how far the noise you make by running travels through the environment. And, of course, leaning. Lots and lots of leaning. (Jordan Devore)

Another Meager Helping of Grand Theft Auto V Screens

Rockstar has graciously released four new GTA V screenshots to go along with the other screens it drip-fed this week. Altogether, that's amounted to ten whole images this week. Man, that'd be enough to almost justify a single post! (Jim Sterling)

Sony Patent Points to Playable Mini-Game Advertisements

Imagine broadcasted or streamed advertisements that are playable as mini-games, with an online element so that you could play with other viewers. A new Sony PlayStation patent, found by GameNMotion, seems to spell out how this would work. (Dale North)

Review: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

It may lack some of the community niceties, beloved maps (Assault, anyone?), and little features of past games, but Global Offensive delivers on the promise of a faithful, polished, and better looking Counter-Strike for whoever wants it. Even if the community doesn't meet the golden standard of 1.6 and Source, CS:GO will remain a multiplayer classic for those willing to put in the time to learn the maps and weapons.
