5 GILPS for the DS
The premise of a GILP is simple. It’s a Game I’d Like to Play, and it’s a saying I blatantly ripped off from American Pie. I’d say so sue me, but these days Jack Thompson might do just that. Anyway, eToyChest has an interesting list of GILPS up today for the DS. They are games that are not on the DS, but darn well should be. Check them out and add in the ones you think shou...

Mom swats child with Wiimote. Or, Toys R Us pre-orders!
Either this kid’s been bad enough that his mother grabbed whatever was closest to whip him in a fit of gamer-induced rage, or Toys R Us is going to be offering pre-orders on the Wii this October 29.

In the monthly “Ask the Girl Next Door” section with Nicole Beland, a reader asks the buxom beauty, “How can I get my girlfriend into playing video games?” Says Nicole: “Calling her over to watch you pistol whip a h...
