MSNBC: “In dark gaming times, the Nintendo DS shines”
Why is DS so awesome? It’s games. That’s why Apple will have a hard time overtaking Nintendo. Writes MSNBC’s Winda Benedetti: This has been a week, and really more like an entire month, that has delivered me (and a great many others) unto gaming heaven. That is, this week saw the launch of both “Scribblenauts” and “Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story” ’ two staggerin...
What do you dislike most about Wii?
The Wii is a crazy fun console with a lot of great games. But it has its share of warts. Particularly its clunky menu and submenu channels, which feel like they were designed by a Japanese toy company instead of a usability expert. And connecting with friends online is way more tedious than it should be (although play with strangers is as easy as on other consoles). I’m sure there are more, ...
Meet the “story driven” cast of Dead Space Extraction
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8icpYDo8yI[/youtube] Blake’s interest in all things Dead Space Extraction continues. But describing the actors as a “triple A” cast is a bit much, no? And since I’m on the subject, why is everything in games “AAA”? Let’s say “high-profile” from now on, m’kay, which is what you really mean to say.

Top 5 foods to avoid while playing video games
As a general rule, food and video games are about as compatible as texting and driving (hint: they’re not). You might be able to get away with cold pizza with a controller in hand, but never stuff your pie-hole with this messiness during play:
What do you think about the Current Gen?
Today, one of my friends sent me a website they came across. This website allows you to search and compare information from various search engines. It calculates how people refer to your search term as a positive, negative, or neither and displays it in a bar graph. So, I decided to search what the internet thinks about the current video game consoles. The results I got were pretty shocking, so I ...

Circular reveals purported Wii price drop to $199
An alleged Toys R US circular slated to run in the last week of September lists the Wii (with Wii Sports) as having a $199 price tag. Personally I didn’t think Nintendo would do this so soon, but after GameIndustry crunched some number and discovered more than 39% drop in sales year-over-year, I guess it was inevitable. No word on whether this is a special Toys R US thing, or if it’s a...
Youtube Tuesday – Humoresque of a Little Dog
Since he hadn’t played the tune before, Tom takes it at a slow tempo all the way through the first time, rather than speeding up throughout the tune as I indicate on the sheet music, then plays it faster all the way through the second time around to make up for it. He has a bit of difficulty with the second section, so we’ll have to take another crack at making a video of this to get a...
