After talking up this video all week, there was simply no way I wasn’t going to find an excuse to get it on the front page. As you’re able to see, excuse found! It combines some of the world’s greatest treasures —Street Fighter, John Carpenter, Keith David, and accidental laughter — into one magnificent creation. Much to my disappointment, the video barely has any views. Let’s see if we can’t change that....
Konami made a lot of exciting announcements in their pre-E3 blitzkrieg, but there is some sad news as well. It seems thatFroggeris coming to the Nintendo 3DS for another hoptastic journey. The now decrepit shell of its former self,Froggerdisappeared from the gaming scene for thirteen years following the release of its first (and best) sequel,Frogger II: Threedeep! Then, in 1997, Hasbro Interactive pulled the series swollen corpse out of the formaldehyde bath and performed some sort ofSix Million Dollar Mancrap on it....

This latest one includes a number of worthwhile titlesfor under $20: And the list goes on. It’s also worth pointing out that quite a few of the on-sale games come with free shipping. Time to add to your backlog right before AAA season starts.
I will admit the forward view of this Alien-inspired PS3 case mod looks a little foreign and lumpy, but turn it on its side as you see in the gallery, and pow, any fan of Ridley Scott’s sublime horror film (or for that matter, any of the series) ought to be a little weak in the knees. The guy behind the mod posted on theLlamma’s Game Console forumas GivinTats, and explains that he used epoxy putty and a gloss finish to achieve the effect....
It is Eggmas Day. I saw a documentary on television this morning that tried to argue that if the resurrection of Christ was presented as a trial in a court of law, any unbiased judge would look at the evidence and rule in favor of Team Jesus. The primary bit of evidence they used? The empty tomb. Apparently, if you see a tomb and it’s empty, that’s evidence of resurrection....
The2009 Tokyo Motor Showis currently happening right now in Japan, at Makuhari Messe, which is the exact same place they hold the Tokyo Game Show. Me? I’m into it to see the cool concept cars and thelovely booth babes. In my search for said babes, I came across the above really strange footage.Yes, sometimes booth babes are paid to do some really strange things (try the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas for the really weird sh*t), but they usually have a point or make some kind of sense....
Hispanics make up a considerable portion of the population in the United States, especially the further south you get. And, according to GameStop COO Paul Raines,they’re buying videogames. Raines attributed a large portion of GameStop’s explosive sales growth in recent years to Hispanic customers and noted that the chain’s highest performing stores lie closest to the border with Mexico, causing the company to consider retail expansion into that country. If the demographic is making such a significant impact on the industry, why aren’t more games being marketed towards it?...
Name recognition alone will makeCall of Duty: Modern Warfarea sales success, but it’s nice that the visual quality is up to snuff. Publisher Activision released a pile of fresh images plucked from the Wii-port this morning, each one iconic featuring scenes that should be familiar to theCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfarefaithful. Announcedearlier this month,CoD: MWis a Treyarch Corporation port of the popular shooter. We don’t know much about its mechanics, but we’re guessing that they won’t operate much more differently than the studios’ other ports ofCall of Duty 3andCall of Duty: World at War....
Do you get it? Are you getting the thing that Gearbox has done? I really hope so, because that’s the meta brilliance of the sexyBorderlandscover. The artwork, which I personally love, depicts one of the game’s enemies holding his fingers to his head, pretending to blow his brains out. Gearbox boss Randy Pitchfordsays thatthis is becauseBorderlands“will blow your mind.” Now you see what they did there! “The motive is about the goals of a box cover — you want to evoke something, get attention and have something honest to say about the promise of the game,” Pitchford adds....
Three new gaming shirts are out this week and just like last week, Threadless wins with the best design again.The Gaming Revolutionshirt was created by Sean Mort and appears to have almost every videogame controller and handheld ever made on it forming a fist. Fight the power, just not the electrical power because you’ll need that to play your games. Yeah … I just facepalmed myself for that extremely corny joke....
Final Fantasy XIIis a splendid role-playing game. In fact, I’ve recently started replaying it. I forgot how great the story was. I like it, but I don’t like it enough to buy this piece of memorabilia. ImporterPlay-Asia has a 1:1 scaleJudge Magister Gabranthhelmeton sale for the low and completely reasonable price of $1099. This bitch is life-sized. By putting it over your head, you could be come almost as imposing and powerful-looking as Gabranth himself....
