Smash My Revolution

A few guys are doing what they call a “social experiment” and frankly it’s pretty funny. The group is going to pre-order a Revolution, and after picking it up on the day of the release, will unbox the thing and smash it in front of fanboys alike. Yeah, “social experiment” is about right.

News regarding the Revolution hardware, wi-fi network, and the high number of DS games being released and/or in development. We can also hope for Zelda: Twilight Princess next spring with a few more GBA games on the horizon. So I thin...
