Def Jam Icon Demo Won't Hit Live This Week
EA's out to make us look bad, as the Def Jam Icon demo promised for Xbox Live tomorrow isn't quite going to make it. No date on when gamers can now expect the trial version featuring Big Boi and T.I. other than that it would be available "worldwide" sometime "soon." More »

Ghosts Busted On Mario Kart 64 For VC
The recent Virtual Console release of the Nintendo 64 iteration of Mario Kart had one minor problem (well, a couple minor problems, from what we're hearing); you couldn't save Time Trial ghost data to the Wii. What is often a very helpful guide for those of us trying to best our karting lap scores is something the Wii simply won't be able to support without a fix. More »

Shadow of the Colossus Gets Movie Cameo
Looks like Team Ico's Shadow of the Colossus is getting some late Hollywood love in the form of a cameo in Adam Sandler's newest movie Reign Over Me. The trailer for the drama looks like heavy stuff, not on par with Sandler's typical comedy roles. It's hard to imagine which will be more tear-jerking, the heartwrenching flying colossus battle or the relationship between the Sandler's Dylan-esque widower and Don Cheadle's p-whipped doctor.

Unlockable Costumes of God of War II
I was nosing around my copy of the God of War II Colossus Battle Demo disc after beating the shortish demo and noticed that they had Treasures listed under options on the main menu. More »

Taito Legends 2 Comes Stateside, Brings Retro Goodness With It
Sega brought over the first Taito Legends in late 2005, but North American retro arcade gamers haven't been able to get their hands on the sequel. Loaded with amazing, obscure Taito releases from the past twenty years, the full line-up includes: More »

Pre-order Bullet Witch, Get Bullet Witch Comic
You know Bullet Witch right? It's one of those near future, post-apocalyptic, zombie killing, withcraft 'n' guns games. The kind that aren't too good (Ashcraft says it's "shit"), but star a nubile protagonist with a hellspawn exterminating streak decked out in costumes unsuitable for combat, making it an instant purchase for the lonely, Xbox 360-owning Japanese crowd.

This is simply spectacular. If Nintendo doesn't have this sculpture at their next big event, with chilled Tanqueray pouring from his sword, I'm going to be deeply disappointed. More »

Spider-Man 3 The Game The Web Site
The official site for the upcoming Spider-Man 3 game adaptation is live, giving friendly neighborhood gaming fans a very brief look at the game. Featuring little more than a trailer, some wallpapers and a brief developer blog (all unfortunately wrapped up in a crusty, bitter Flash shell), the site promises development updates from developers Treyarch and Vicarious Visions. With only 93 days before the film and the game's release, let's hope they find the time. More »

Westword On the Tetris Building
Fellow Denver pub Westword contacted me yesterday about my mini-obsession with that Tetris building. You know, the one that had windows broken out to form Tetris pieces. More »

More Damn Cakes
Okay people, apparently we are going a bit cake crazy as of late. I am scared to open my inbox for fear of cake spilling out all over the place, making me spend hours scraping frosting off of press releases and screenshots. Take this one, for instance, from Kotakuite Adam's wedding rehearsal dinner. More »

Clip: BBPS Predicts Super Bowl Winner
I was planning on using Madden 2007 to predict the winner of Super Bowl XLI, but bits, bytes, pixels & sprites had a much better and possibly more accurate way of foretelling sports future."And the Colts were forced to slowly...select...a field goal." Brilliant! More »

Ladies and gentleman, Love and Berry hit this year's ATEI Arcade Show. And everyone in the clip just walks by. Smart. Not only painfully boring, but frightening when small children get involved. Somebody please get Love and Berry away from that baby. And quick!
