Nintendo developing football shaped controller?
According to a recent patent, Nintendo may be looking into developing a football shaped controller for the Wii. Patents do not mean certainty. Every year, corporations submit hundreds of parents and most of them are never really put to use. They are there as a precautionary measure in case the company plans to go ahead [...]
Full StoryCancelled WoW Account
The last time I was this angry happened when the OJ Simpson trial kept running over my favorite afternoon cartoons. Still, I didn’t throw a tantrum quite this bad.
This video is supposedly of a kid who couldn’t deal with his uncontrollable rage upon the cancellation of his World of Warcraft account by his mother.

PS3 Firmware 3.0 locks out fake controllers
Companies hate knock-offs of their products, especially Sony. The first PS1 was easy as pie to make copied games for, the PS2 got a bit harder, now the PS3 is almost impossible. So knock-off companies have moved onto ripping off accessories. Most notably controllers, well it looks like the new PS3 firmware 3.0 has stopped [...]

Full StoryReds vs Blue Machinima on ODST

ODST stands for Orbital Drop Shock Troopers and they [...]
Full StoryBatman Arkham Asylum sets world record
Most serious gamers know never to put too much hope on game/movie crossovers no matter the subject. The recent Transformers game was yet another example of a shameless ploy to capitalize on a movie by making a sub-par video game. Batman: Arkham Asylum however, breaks that mold and is actually quite a refreshingly good game [...]
