Based on the popular TV Show, now you have the chance to break out of prison too!

Celebrate the art of bubbles in all shapes and sizes with this Japanese trailer.

The Show celebrates All-Star week festivities such as The Home Run Derby and all-important All-Star game.

We can't be gaming all the time, despite our best efforts, and from time to time we'll actually take advantage of the movie-playing abilities on our gaming systems. JBO features our top picks for XBL, PSN, Netflix's Watch Instantly and Blu-ray each week.

Recommendation of the Week:

Stingray Sam ($12 HD digital download, $18 DVD, $49 deluxe)
Cory McAbee is one cool character. He's produced art, music, short films and feature films, and he's at his best when he's combining art and movie together. Last year at Sundance, he premiered his newest feature film, Stingray Sam. Set in the future, two interstellar cowboys who just happen to be convicts are given a shot at freedom, if they complete one mission. Along the way they encounter a lot of wacky stuff, and sing some bizarre songs. Songs that will stay with you long after you've seen the movie, like the Lullaby Song. It combines science fiction, music, Westerns and pure wacky in a package of pure delight. We have three copies of the Stingray Sam DVD and soundtrack to give away this week, so just read the rules and comment below, letting us know what your name would be if you were an outer space cowboy.
Read on after the break for the rest of our recommendations, and let us know what you're watching!

The Unidine race joins the fray in Star Trek Online.

Japan gears up for the release of the latest installment of Yakuza with the Gameplay Digest video highlighting features and story.

Mega64's latest lampooning is a bit more historical than the troupe's other videos. Posted just after the jump is a video reenaction of the moment of Dante's Inferno's inception. We'd thought that a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Classic Literature major had planted the idea-seed in an EA executive's mind -- apparently, said gardening was actually performed by Ba'al Zebûb himself.

Check out the video after the jump -- though, if you're employed at a place which frowns upon the use of the word "boners," you can consider said video NSFW.

At last, all memory sequences are complete. Was it worth the wait?

Here’s a weird one for you. Atari is trying to turn some of their franchises into successful films. Rather than go with a game that came out in recent years, Atari is reaching back into their classic catalog. What have they come out with? Believe it or not, Atari wants to [...]

Verdict: Less deadly than originally feared.

The Odd Gentlemen discuss the trial and error used in creating its first XBLA game.

No, it's not a bald joke. There are a lot of things worth highlighting in the cinematic trailer for Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight, but, for us, it's all about Kane's pretty orb above. We like to imagine it houses the universe and everything in it -- kinda like the one from Men in Black. While you're reading this post (and heading past the break to watch the trailer afterward), some weird space creature is playing a game of marbles with our little blue planet. C'est la vie!

Lead Designer Sam Bass explains story lines and gameplay mechanics you can anticipate in Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight.

You will appreciate this game no matter what, Square says.

There are plenty of people out there that weren’t lucky enough to be around when Nintendo kicked off The Legend of Zelda series. I had the pleasure of playing through those games as they were released, starting back in the days of the NES. While that clearly makes me old in gamer years, [...]

The Resident Evil series has been around for quite some time, and there’s no doubt that it will continue on for many more years. There are tons of people that love this franchise, and they make it their absolute goal to learn all about every nook and cranny in the game. Pouring hours [...]

Hands-on with a full build of the game.

This should make the PSP Go's price tag a bit easier to swallow. From now until March 21, new North American PSP Go owners that add a PlayStation Network to their systems will be eligible to receive a free game from the PlayStation Store: either Assassin's Creed Bloodlines or LittleBigPlanet PSP. After the registration process, SCEA will e-mail a special code that enables the free download.

The promotion is similar to one launched by Sony Europe a few months ago. Unsurprisingly, early adopters are feeling left in the cold. DevilDawg90 commented on the PlayStation.Blog: "This is unfair to people like me who picked up the PSPGo day one. I had to pay 40 for LBP PSP! I have been supporting Sony and this is just a slap in face."

Unfortunately DevilDawg, that's generally how technology works; it gets cheaper over time. In fact, the PSP Go is approaching affordable when considering the $50 discount Amazon.com is offering on it. At $200 with a free game, it's almost -- dare we say it? -- a good deal.

Our impressions of the opening levels of the campaign.

Activision has announced an Xbox Live Game with Fame event almost guaranteed to be less awkward than watching a movie with Rob Zombie. Starting tomorrow, February 20 at 1:00pm ET, Xbox Live Gold members will get the opportunity to play Guitar Hero 5 with Breaking Benjamin. Anyone wanting to participate should send a friend request to BBGWF or BBAaronGWF thirty minutes prior to the event. Also, it's worth mentioning that the Breaking Benjamin tracks on Guitar Hero 5 are only available as DLC, so it's possible you could play with the band without owning any of their music. Talk about embarrassment!

Game Director Katsutomo Tanaka goes over the four steps used in making the upcoming DS game.
