You know, I may be friends with the guys over at True Game Headz, but I’ll be damned if they don’t know their stuff when it comes to game. Their list of top 10 most overlooked games is pretty damn impressive. They’ve done a great job of rounding up titles that deserve some [...]

Both ASDA and Tesco’s are running some pretty good game sales right now, for those that are willing to hunt them out. You can actually grab some of ASDA’s deals online, while you’ll have to hoof it into Tesco’s locations to grab your games.

If you weren't lucky enough to be in New York for the last Capcom Fight Club, you'll have another opportunity on January 7 to play Super Street Fighter IV, win prizes, and maybe -- just maybe -- see Seth Killian from a distance. Capcom is bringing its exclusive fighting celebration to Las Vegas for CES, filling its Planet Hollywood suite with as many hadoukenthusiasts as it can. Which, it turns out, is not many. If you want to try out Guy, Cody, or Adon in a tournament, the only way to get in is to follow the instructions in this post and hope you're one of the few chosen to attend. We feel bad for all those people in Las Vegas that day who won't be at the video game party. What are they going to do?

Yesterday we told you guys that Rune Factory was going to soon see release in Korea. What we didn’t know is that the Korean version of the game is getting a special bundle. For those willing to shell out a little more cash, you can get a copy of the game, plus a [...]

What’s more fun than a party all about Wii Fit Plus?! Looks like this was some sort of sponsored event, as all the ladies that attended got to take home their own Wii Fit Plus set.

This one was inspired by a Super Mario Galaxy cake which has been floating around the net for some time now. I believe that may have been a birthday cake, but this bride went one step further by going all out on Mario for her wedding day. Now that’s a bride you want [...]

Yeah, it might be a little tough to actually use that Arm Cannon for play in Metroid Prime… There you go, Samus. That Cube controller looks like it’s getting the job done a lot better.

Franziska von Karma Hmmm…there’s no denying that Franziska von Karma is quite the attractive character, but I think I’d be way too afraid to try and date her. She probably handles that whip as well as a Belmont!

Who’s up for some Christian music from Steve Wiebe, the star of The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters? If so, you can grab Mr. Wiebe’s new album, The King of Song. Buy now, and you can even get yourself an autographed version of The King of Kong from Mr. Wiebe himself! Check [...]

Wii Sports (Nintendo Wii, 2006) Wii Sports is the game that made the Wii what it is today. Believe it or not, Wii Sports is the game that keeps selling Wiis up to this point. Wii Sports Resort might be out there, but it’s the original Wii Sports that people just can’t get enough [...]

We stand on the precipice of greatness.

Major update brings five new dungeons, new item sets, and a double experience event lasting until January 26.

Master the ways of the Dragon Knight for your final chance to win.

I have a lot of Banjo-Kazooie posters and stands in my room, and the other day I stopped to look them over once again. Man, I really miss the days when Banjo-Kazooie games were about platforming and adventure. Remixes like this help me to remember those days…all while I get my rave on! Direct [...]

Paul McCartney, in a non-Beatles outing, rings in the new year for next week's Rock Band Weekly update. The 67-year-old rocker (good on him!) will have the company of a Blink-182 pack, along with individual tracks from The Psychedelic Furs and The Ramones. Ringo might be in there too, but nobody would notice either way -- poor Ringo. Check out pricing and track details for the console releases after the break.

“Mansionvania: Vacuum of Sorrow” by Shane Gill A mash-up between Castlevania and Luigi’s Mansion will never, ever happen. Well, unless fans take that task underway. At least we can get some nice pixel art of what a project like this might look like!

This is just the start of what is sure to be another epic Photoshop thread over at SomethingAwful. Hit up this link to check out all the other creations (thanks JoeCam!)

Direct link here Well, if the Mad Dog McCree Gunslinger Pack wasn’t enough to keep you happy, perhaps Fast Draw Showdown can quench your thirst for FMV games. Who knows, it might even be fun!

With only two days of daily holiday deals left, it looks like Microsoft decided to make today's a doozy. Like the headline says, today's deal is Castle Crashers for a mere 560. That's sevenearth dollars and, more importantly, a substantial savings over the usual 1200 ($15) price tag. If you haven't experienced the co-op glory, now is the time. Trust us, people like this game. They like it so much that they build costumes of their favorite characters. If you don't have it yet, you need that kind of joy in your life.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 may have only sold 2,000 more units than FIFA 10 during the week ending December 26 in the UK, but it was enough for Infinity Ward's unstoppable shooter to hold the top spot for a seventh week. Meanwhile, with no high-profile releases following the solstice, the rest of the chart appears to be a dance of all the other titles moving up and down a couple notches. Assassin's Creed 2 climbs back up two spots to third, with the next four spots occupied by Wii titles. Wii Sports Resort, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Wii Fit Plus and New Super Mario Bros Wii hold spots four through seven, respectively. The only real mover is James Cameron's Avatar, which used those long blue legs to reach eighth place. Source -- Call of Duty is in 7th heaven [Chart Track] Source -- All formats chart [Chart Track]

Rock in the new year.

Picross 3D for DS was one of the titles announced by Nintendo at E3, but not dated or mentioned again, like Line Attack Heroes, Monado: The End of the World, and, until recently, WarioWare DIY. According to posts on Cubed3 and NeoGAF, the puzzler will be out on February 5 -- in Europe. Though Nintendo UK still lists the date as "TBA", Cubed3 reports that Nintendo has confirmed the February 5 date. Picross 3D, developed by HAL Laboratory, is based on the familiar Picross puzzle, in which players make marks in squares based on clues about how many in each row or column should be numbered. But Picross 3D starts with cubes instead of squares, with each mark chipping away at the cube to reveal a voxel-based 3D object. There is no release date, rumored or otherwise, for North America, though the game was announced for release here.

Now that Darwinia+ has passed Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade certification process, you likely have your passport ready for the upcoming trip to Darwinia's action RTS battlefields. According to Xbox 360 Achievements, lending a helping hand to your stick brethren in need won't just net you the warm fuzzies, but will also reward you with some Gamerscore. There's 200 to be had in total, rewarding players for things like saving Darwinians, crushing invading ant hordes and winning matches on every map in the game. It's a nice, varied list that doesn't look like it encourages too much grinding -- well, except for the Stick Man Slaughter Achievement, which requires you to kill 65,536 enemies.
