Sunday Comics: Dead Island WWE wrestler Sheamus was in Sydney late last week to promote the upcoming August WWE Raw tour and the even more imminent Wrestlemania 28 pay-per-view. I sat down with him to discuss WWE’s approach (and his own) to social media, but somehow the topic turned to gaming.

Video games, from Space Invaders to Bubble Bobble(!), invade the slopes and skate parks of Mt Hood’s High Cascade in the best video ever to combine snowboarding and Super Mario World, pool tables and Portal, chiptunes and hip-hop.
My current least favourite part of the modern video game is when it tells me to stop having fun for a few minutes so I can think about something.
One of the country’s biggest pop outfit, Girls’ Generation, will be hocking the Nintendo DSi in South Korea. Imagine that!
South Korean idol group Girls’ Generation appears in a tasty noodle commercial, singing a very happy and familiar song.
While those of us in the U.S. were sleeping in, Nintendo spent yesterday adding a fresh crop of titles to their downloadable lineup, with a healthy dose of old games made new and the odd clock.
Bub and Bob will emit bubbles and bobble about in 2009 with a new, but retro take on classic Bubble Bobble gameplay. Famitsu spilled details on the WiiWare-bound game, which looks to go global.
Expecting a MASSIVE SURPRISE for the Virtual Console, with this being January 1 and all? Sorry. Nothing MASSIVE here. But don’t go deflating on us like a soft, saggy soufflé just yet. Because while Light Crusader for the Genesis and Top Hunter for the Neo Geo are two of week’s three offerings, the third is Bubble Bobble. Bubble Bobble! [Image]
It’s the last Virtual Console update of the year, and Nintendo is going out with a bang! Well, more like a pop as Bubble Bobble for the NES (500 points) finally makes its way onto the Nintendo Wii. This classic puzzle-action game jump started my love-affair with the dinosaurs Bub and Bob, eventually leading to my one of favorite puzzle game series of all time, Bust-A-Move. f puzzles aren’t your cup of tea, then perhaps the action RPG Light Crusader for the Genesis (800 points) is more up your alley. It contains all of the elements of a classic fantasy RPG with one of the most boring character leads ever created. Finally we have Top Hunter for the NEOGEO (900 points), a side-scrolling action game which features four standard video game worlds (ice, fire, forest, and wind) and an awesome assortment of two bosses to defeat! Okay, so the Virtual Console ends the year on a whimper. At least they didn’t finish things off with a SpongeBob title.
