Fable 2’s Men of Ill Repute

For all those people who find it morally reprehensible and absolutely sexist to see female characters scantily clad and/or portraying fast and loose “ladies of the night”, prepare to cheer Peter Molyneux and his team at Lionhead Studios. They have released concept art for their upcoming game Fable 2 that very clearly shows a snappily […]

Gaming Bling: Swarovski Wii

Impressive yes, oddly hideous? Also yes. Nintendo had asked a company called Crystal Icing, who will essentially cover almost any object with Swarovski crystals, to create a couple of blingin’ Wii to give away to the winners of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Competition. The result?

A brawl to end them all. They created a […]

Gaming Addicted Hubby? Tyra Wants YOU!

Normally I would have less to do with Tyra Banks than I would a cockroach (I think she’s an overly opinionated prima donna), but I was guiltily scanning news on b5’s America’s Next Top Model blog TopModelGossip.com , and shortly found myself wandering over to the Tyra Banks Show website where I noticed […]

World Record Highest Score In Guitar Hero III

I suck at Guitar Hero almost as much as I suck at playing a real guitar. I’m okay with that, and I’ve come to grips with the fact that I don’t have an ounce of musical talent in my body. That’s why I leave the playing to pros like 16-year old Chris Chike […]

Prince Found For Prince of Persia?

If fans were in charge, it looks like a real Persian Prince would be cast in the title roll of Jerry Bruckheimer’s Prince of Persiamovie.

Mario Kart Wii Clip
