There’s that little monologue where he gives his own biography and the characters were really well developed and it felt like a really dark, big-budget, blockbuster feature film and stuff. Watch it. I have dibs on David Tennant.
This week (which will be pleasantly free of stereo and iTunes problems if all goes according to plan) […]

More painful than dying in a fire: Alvin and the Chipmunks on the Wii
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment

(A) Producing a popular cartoon show for nearly 30 years about a trio of fat-faced high-pitched maladjusted chipmunks and their three whiny rodent girlfriends or (B) Producing a single good video game about them?

Thanks to a covert photographer, Go Nintendo posted a few pics of the sabers this morning sighted at the Canadian store Zeller’s. If you don’t want to wait to buy […]

While not always 100% accurate, retailer release lists often contain gems of information on game delays or unannounced releases. As the premiere videogame specialty retailer in the United States, keeping an eye on their release lists is at least worth the giggles.

Free HD BioShock Strategy Videos
Category: Xbox 360 | Leave a Comment
“If you’ve just picked up or received BioShock, you might want to take a look at the Xbox Live Marketplace for six HD videos from BradyGames that will help you locate all of the game’s audio diaries. Finding the audio diaries is definitely something I’d recommend, as they really do a good job of fleshing […]
