I am so excited for WarioWare: D.I.Y. after the media summit time I spent with the game. Trust me…this is a very special entry in the series, and you should have your reserve down now!

This is why Nintendo fans are absolutely amazing. Someone has listened to the gameplay music from one of the Super Mario Galaxy 2 videos floating around out there, and actually reverse-engineered an audio-only track!

#ps3 PlayStation 3 owners affected by the dreaded 8001050F error, it may be safe to turn on your systems again. Reports from users locked out by the system's clock bug are indicating our day-long nightmare is finally over. More »

We've apparently made it through the worst of the storm, friends. We've received a number of tips informing us that the internal clock bug which has been plaguing systems for the past 24 hours had been fixed, rendering all games playable once more. We tempted fate shortly after receiving these reports by testing out a few of our PS3 Phat units, and can confirm that they're running games just fine.

The extent of the damage incurred during the blackout is unknown, but will certainly surface in the next few hours. No Joystiq staffers lost any of their hard-earned trophy data, but we're an awfully small sample group for a problem that affected every living being on Earth.

A walkthrough of the many new features in MLB 2K10 from 2K Sports!

[BioshockFan52]
Those of us who have played BioShock 2 likely don't see anything out of the ordinary in the above image. Almost all of Rapture's propoganda has been smeared by Sophia Lamb and her followers in-game, so it only makes sense that 2K would do as much with the game's promotional items. And according to this thread on the 2K Games site, a black light is all you need to unlock this hidden feature in those neat posters you got with your special edition.

Community Manager "2K Elizabeth" (Elizabeth Tobey) implies the validity of what you see above -- we're still waiting on 2K to officially confirm this. But, for all intents and purposes, it would seem your love of velvet paintings and black lights is a good thing for once!

[Thanks, Alex]
