Not Planning DS or Wii Price Cuts This Year
9:30PM Brian Ashcraft | Hoping for cheaper DSs and Wiis? Hope some more, and then after that, hope some more. Ain’t gonna happen says Nintendo.

Peach, Samus Return To Feast Upon The Living
8:30PM Luke Plunkett | Peach and Samus? Hot. But Peach and Samus…dead? Then reanimated, and driven by a hunger for the flesh of the living? Not ho-….ah, who am I kidding. Still hot. Maybe even hotter. Samus is obviously above, with Peach after the jump, because she may be NSFW. Things look awfully decomposed down there. Still not 100% sure. More »StarCraft Board Game Demo

Mario That You Can Always Sit On

I don’t know if he’s planning on pounding more colour into them, but I hope so, even though they look great as is. Contextual, NSFW pics after the jump. More »BattleFantasia Is 2D Fighting Pretty

The History Of NYC (In Games)
4:30PM Luke Plunkett | New York City’s iconic. So it’s natural that it features in a ton of games. But how many, and for how long? I have no idea. I’m no historian. The Bowery Boys (a NYC history site) fancy they are, though, and have compiled this excellent list of some of the more notable games set in the great city, from the obvious (GTA IV, True Crime: NYC) to the…less obvious (the original Mario Bros.). There are stops at Punch Out and the TMNT arcade game along the way, but I was a little (just a little) upset to see they left off probably the grandest tribute to the Big Apple of them all: the Commodore 64 version of Ghostbusters.
