Remember when you used to get awesome swag for renewing subscriptions to your favorite game magazines? That doesn’t really happen all that much anymore. There are still a few magazines around that throw some fun goodies your way, but by and large the practice has been halted. It’s too bad, because that [...]

These pins were made for the upcoming Penny-Arcade Expo, as they allow forum-users to identify one another when wandering the show floor. Something tells me that these particular forum-goers are fond of the Zelda seres. Link

Gaming today would not exist as we know it without the input of Japan. They have been hugely important in forming the video game industry. Gaming on their end may not be doing so well right now, but I’m sure they’ll jump back bigger than ever. While game sales may be down in Japan, [...]

Let’s be honest…how many games have you purchased simply because the preorder bonus was too good to pass up? It’s okay if you’ve done it, don’t be ashamed. One time, I preordered Super Mario Sunshine twice. I first went to my local GameStop to put down my regular preorder, and then a few weeks [...]

A portion of a Nitnendo Life review… Dementium may not be the greatest FPS experience there ever was, but, for what it is, it is quite an enjoyable romp. It certainly does provide one with one of the best atmospheric settings yet seen on DS. Full review here

See the world of Wet through the eyes of fury itself in Rage Mode.

Kicking your opponents' asses on the B-Ball court has never been so sexy. Or bad-ass.

For those of you that were hoping the rumor of Yoshihisa Hashimoto leaving SEGA was false, I have some bad information for you. …Yoshihisa Hashimoto has left SEGA to pursue another opportunity and we’d like to wish him well in his future endeavors. - SEGA employee Now everyone is left wondering what Sonic the Hedgehog will do [...]

EIDOS has found itself in review scandals not once, not twice, but three times. We haven’t discussed the most recent issue for two reasons. First off, EIDOS is denying all accusations this time around, and second, the game in question does not appear on Nintendo platforms. While the latest title involved in [...]

Fossil Fighters was one of the quieter announcements at E3, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see that many people have forgotten all about the game by now. At least Club Nintendo is doing its job to help remind us! Thanks to Acgamer for the heads up.

A portion of a ThatGamingSite review… It’s not for everyone, but Princess Debut is one of the more interesting titles available in the ‘tween’ range. Proceed with caution but don’t be surprised it you find it just a little bit more enjoyable than you expected. Full review here

A portion of an NWR review… …it’s a full-blown retail release with only about half of the amount of songs in World Tour and the forthcoming Guitar Hero V. If you are absolutely desperate for more Guitar Hero, then Smash Hits is worth it. Everyone else is better off sitting tight for the next full-featured release. Full [...]

I think he’s been saying that with limited pixels, he doesn’t feel that he can accurately display is range of emotions! Thanks to Marl0 for the heads up. Link

As I was saying earlier, I try to take very good care of all my gaming goodies. That definitely goes for all the guitars, drum sets and microphones that are scattered about the warehouse. Luckily, I have a bunch of friends and family that treat these accessories with the utmost respect, and never [...]

There’s no doubt that Wii sales are slowing down. We’ve seen it happen in a big way over in Japan, and now both Europe and North America are seeing numbers drop. Why is it that Wii sales are only now just slowing down? Is this something Nintendo should be worried about, or [...]

Seriously, a cake like this cannot be eaten. Just plop it into a temperature-controlled case, and put it on display for all to see! Thanks to The King of Mars for the heads up.
