Mario Theme Played with RC Car and Bottles This was just too awesome to not talk about. Once you watch it, you will be in total agreement. Or I will just be that jerk that said you would...please don't make me that jerk. :) Like the description says, a group of guys got together and actually set it up so they could drive an RC car and play the legendary theme using just wine bottles and metal things. It is really good up until it gets to the dual bottle section. Then it takes a little bit of listening to keep the theme going. Read More...

Resident Evil O Wii Only In Japan So when I first heard of this game coming out, I got excited. Cause at the time, it was just announced that they were working on putting out the WiiMake of this good old GameCube game. If only they would have left it that way. The making it seem like it was coming out everywhere. Well things have changed and it is only slated to come out in Japan. That put a sad face on me. Read More...

Kids Who Don't Play Video Games Are At Risk Ok, so I know this is always a hot topic for all gamers and the community. Hence why I am posting about this. It's actually a good point in our court. It is a study that has been going on to show that not playing games can contribute to violent and negative behavior. I know right. Sounds a little out there, but these two researchers have spent years looking at the lesser headline grabber than the norm. Read More...

Thanks to GamePolitics for this bit of news but I am looking forward for more news on this:   Looking very much like a massively multiplayer Grand Theft Auto clone, Vogster’s CrimeCraft has been slated for release in early 2009. While the official website offers little aside from a logo, some screenshots have been released. Also, there’s the CrimeCraft Wikipedia entry. With what will likely be thousands of players engaged in live, online GTA-like action, expect CrimeCraft to be controversial when it launches. Read More...

Real MGS4 Headset So much like the guys at Kotaku and a few other sites, I saw this and thought it was a really good joke someone on the net came up with. I mean look at it and you can totally see how it looks like a good Photoshop job. At least until it was featured in catalogues and has a real release date for the US and Europe. Pretty fucking cool looking thing. I've been looking to get a new headset and it looks like I can get a cool one if I manage to wait it out. Read More...

Pokémon Trophy Telegram Yes, you are seeing what you are seeing above. It is a Pokémon trophies that you can send as a telegram. You know, for when you have to be a thunder stealer in the message sending area. Some may just prefer to send an e-mail or something in today's age, but wouldn't it be awesome to get one of those instead? Think about it. You know you would love it. Read More...

“I am obviously being targeted by extraterrestrials. I don’t know what I have done to annoy them but there is no other explanation that makes sense. The chance of being hit by a meteorite is so small that getting hit five times has to be deliberate.” YOUR HOUSE JUST GOT PWNED! Read More...

Wii Gets A New GameCube Controller Ok, I know my title was a little misleading, but it got you to look into the actual New bit. So Ha! It worked. :) The short and dirty of it is that Nintendo is releasing a GameCube Controller specifically for the Wii. It's not wireless or have motion controls. At least not from what I read. But it is the nice white color of the Wii and the controllers for it. Read More...

We all know that America’s financial situation is getting worse, especially with the gas prices rising, the housing market suffering, and the war in Iraq which has cost the United States an estimated $3 trillion. There is one thing in the American economy that is keeping afloat and growing, which is gaming, and the nations largest retailer of games and consoles is GameStop. "As we analyze our sales deployment, we can't find evidence of the economy affecting our business," GameStop company officials said recently. "In fact, like we did after 9/11, we're seeing [comparable] store growth as consumers travel less and stay at home more, as well as trade in more games on new game purchases. Read More...

As some of you may know Calamity, Clov3r, Riotmonster, and I are running something called The Pwned.com Pokemon League. And this Narticle is being written to reach the masses, and call all pokemon trainers to participate in our League. Allow me to tell you a little about this: What It Is: Pokemon, as I am sure you all know, is a game where you raise monsters to battle them against other trainers. To Participate in the tournament, you will need a Nintendo DS lite, a wireless internet connection, and either Pokemon Diamond or Pokemon Pearl. Starting on June 14th, we pair trainers up to battle (via drawing names from a hat randomly) and over the next several days or what could even be weeks, we do a bracket-style Battle Royale similar to the March Madness brackets for basketball: the winner from one match goes on to battle the winner from another and so on and so forth.

Epic Games has now launched their new "Make Something Unreal" PC game mod contest. Sponsored this time by Intel, the contest will give aspiring game creators a way to win cash and prizes for making mods based on Epic's Unreal Tournament 3. Over $1 million in cash and prizes will be given to the winners and just like the first "Make Something Unreal" contest (for mods made with UT 2003/2004) the new version will have a grand prize of a full Unreal Engine 3 license for the overall best mod. Last time the winner was Tripwire Interactive for their Red Orchestra mod; they later formed a full dev team and released the game as a stand alone commercial title. Judging will begin in June 2008 in the first phase of the contest; the final winners will be determined in fall 2009 after all four phases are complete. Read More...

Home Beta Going Public "Very Soon" Before I get into to my thoughts on all of this, I figured I would show you the small release that was posted about this. And by small, I do mean very small; like 10 words on this. Yes that's right, just 10 words. Not a very long one, but it is very exciting unless they are toying with our emotions again. Here it is: "We'll be opening up the Home beta to the public very soon and hope to see you there," said Susan Panico, senior director of PlayStation Network. Ok, so seeing that, I have come up with my own prognostication about this. Read More...

72% Of U.S. Plays Games, Only 2-3% Own Multiple Consoles If you missed the heading, almost 3/4ths of the country plays games, to some extent at least. Not bad numbers when you look at them. That means there has got to be something to this whole thing right? I'd say so. Gamers are not a minority; we are a majority. And we have the NPD to prove this fact for us all. Oh, and just so ya know as well, this is up from last years survey that had only 64% of the US gaming. Read More...
