Do you have a powerful need to know how valuable your used games are while on the go? If so, you may want to take a gander at the Best Buy Gaming mobile app. The latest version has added a new trade-in valuator, which allows you to learn how many bucks a given game will fetch at your nearest Best Buy. You can even find a game's value by scanning its barcode with your device's camera. Frankly, even if you're not looking to pawn your old junk for the new hotness, there's no denying that it's just fun to scan things.
The Best Buy Gaming app is available for free on iOS, Android and Blackberry.

Though you've probably heard plenty of empirical evidence on Xbox Live to the contrary, gamers are capable of being angry about something without totally losing their minds. Check out the video below of the ECA rally held before Schwarzenegger v. EMA to see how cooler heads prevailed in D.C.

A figure of Dead or Alive star Kasumi is never going to be the classiest thing in the world, but then, Kasumi isn't the classiest girl in the world, either, so I guess in this case things are working out just fine! More »

Look, we weren't going to say anything, but it's obvious that your brain isn't operating at maximum capacity today. You've probably got some residual tryptophan slurry sloshing around in there -- what you need is to really flex your cerebral muscles. There's really no better way for you to do so than to check out a recently released PC demo for Gabriel Knight creator Jane Jensen's long-in-development mystery/adventure title, Gray Matter. See, it's got the name of your brain goop right there in the title, so you know it's a thinking person's game.
The game was actually released in Germany earlier this month, and will arrive in the rest of Europe next February -- however, no US release plans for the full title have been announced. To unravel the full mystery therein, you're going to have to pony up for the German version of the game (which includes a full English voice track) or import the game, which is, in and of itself, kind of a mystery. Oh, Jane Jensen. You got us again.
