Even though CES isn’t for another two weeks, Kotaku got a sneak preview for the upcoming rhythm game Patapon. Everyone agrees that this one definitely has a good design, which ties in nicely with Japan studios’ highly addictive and eternally cheerful Loco Roco. This will be a must-have.

You’re never going to find a lack of crazy things on eBay, but this is just stupid. With Christmas fast approaching I would be willing to bet that you (and many others) are getting increasingly desperate for the ever-elusive Nintendo Wii. Well, not to fear my friends because eBay user “saxa_pepper” has one, and they’re […]

Some of the cast members play a game of Rock Band together when it reminds them of the movie they just worked on together, Walk Hard. The fun quickly dissolves though as things sort of become racist … and Mortal Kombat music plays too. Spotted on The BBPS.
After the […]

Something about Themrock’s art style just wants to make me smile. The way he has some of the characters such as Rachtet, Earthworm Jim, the various Mario look extremely happy should make you want to smile from the pure joy of their expressions. Dirk "Themrock" Schulz main art style takes well-known characters and turns them […]

The thinking man’s Ikaruga: Stop and smell the duality
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
As modern gamers, we’ve evolved into a sort of ravenous, wasteful species of creature I’m not sure I’m comfortable with. We chomp through games like we’re fighting to get to the other side of something; licking the frosting out of our Oreos and pitching what’s left out the window so we can get to the […]

There’s no question that the Wii is one of the most popular gift items this holiday season, and it’s no surprise that Nintendo’s supply simply can’t meet the demand.

This is for the gamers that actually finished Portal from The Orange Box and got to hear the wicked end song, "Still Alive" created by Jonathan Coulton, and sung by the defeated end boss, GlaDOS. I wasn’t one of those people, but I still heard the song and that’s what counts. Right?
