Clips: Intellivision Lock n' Chase Commercial
Here's a little throw back to 1982 with a commercial from Mattel promoting the Intellivision game Lock n' Chase. The kid in the commercial is none other than E.T.'s best buddy, Henry Thomas. Not too sure if this came before of after E.T., but my guess would be before. You notice you didn't see Henry promoting the E.T. video game... More »

Rumor Smash: Bioshock NOT Coming To The PS3.
Website Maxconsole had posted this page from the "current" issue of UK OPM magazine stating that Bioshock was coming to the PS3. I saw this on a tip from a reader and also noticed it was quite high on Digg and on initial research, found PS3 pages for the game on all the major game sites. So, I posted an article about it. But, I apparently didn't dig deep enough. More »Bioshock Headed To The PS3 ...No, It's Not ...Yes, It Is!
UPDATE: This turned out to be an old scan. Read about it here. More »
Toys R Us
Toys "R" Us End Of The Year Game Clearance
It's the end of the year and Toys "R" Us is starting their yearly clearance of games and Cheap Ass Gamer has posted a list of all the games currently on sale. There's quite a lot of titles there, although not a lot of really great ones. Still, there are enough gems in there to be able to pick up something on the cheap that perhaps you overlooked at first or simply couldn't afford at the time. More »

Lieberman Joins Clinton in Line For Gaming Donations
Back in August, 2005 I broke the story that ESA president Doug Lowenstein and Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music for Electronic Arts were co-hosting an intimate $1,000-a-plate affair to raise money for the Friends of Hillary Clinton. More »Console Launch Fan Art
Kotakuite and gifted artist Jeff C. created this kick ass piece for an Illustrator class at his school. The assignment was to do something that you've never done before, and then make art based on the experience. Jeff decided to attend the Wii launch and design a piece based on the both the PS3 and Wii launches in general. My absolute favorite part is the the guys in the sleeping bags getting pelted with eggs. Nice touch. Looks like poor Mario and Luigi got there a bit late though, I hope there's a system left for them. More »
hotel dusk
Clips: Hotel Dusk: Room 215 Trailer
If you haven't heard of Hotel Dusk yet, it's a new game coming next month for the DS that incorporates a film noir type storyline and a hand drawn art style. Like Brain Age, Hotel Dusk will have you holding the DS like a book and controlling much of the game with the stylus. From the Nintendo website: More »Biohazard/Resident Evil Airsoft Guns
Whilst following a lead on a Resident Evil Umbrella up for auction on eBay, I actually found something much more interesting. This is a series of four different Airsoft guns based on the weapons used in the Biohazard series or as it's known here in the states, Resident Evil! More »

This Day in Gaming, December 30th
1992: Human Entertainment releases Dragon's Earth for SNES in Japan. There is a bit of debate on the actual release date of this game, but we are going with today. I know it's an RPG, but absolutely nothing else other than there seem to be plenty of romz available and that our planet does not actually belong to dragons (yet).1997: Digicube, a vending machine selling Square Co. games, reported that their units had sold over 10 million games. Their numbers would continue to grow through 1998, when they sell 8.6 million games. But by 2003, they declare bankruptcy. With download distribution taking over, it was inevitable. More »
Angry Nintendo Nerd
Angry Nintendo Nerd's Best Moments Of 2006
Over the last year, The Angry Nintendo Nerd has made us laugh, made us cry and probably offended even the most foul mouthed backwater sailor. Love him or hate him, you have to admire his ability to come out with a seemingly endless stream of expletives without missing a beat. More »
