Cheap Gifts for this Holidays: The Mario Kart Arcade Machine


Christmas is just around the corner, adn many of us haven't bought any present for our loved ones. Perhaps you haven't found the right gift for that gamer in you life. That incredible gift that will make her/his eyes burst into tears from the emotion.

Guess what, you can be santa this year by giving one of the coolest gifts of all time. Well, it's not cheap like the title says, but is REALLY COOL! Behold the Mario Kart GP Arcade Machine!!!!!!!
Wow, not only you cna play with all your favorite SMB characters, but also you can play like PAc Man, Ms PAc Man and Blinky! why is that? Because this 2 - player machine was built with the help of Namco.

There are six worlds featuring 24 circuits, plus "hilarious challenge stages" for those who do well in Grand Prix Mode. The game also has a "NamCam2" feature, which means you can put your own face in the game. And if you're feeling extra flush, why not buy two and hook them up for some four player action?

Ok....time to re-write my Santa's letter. Be seeing ya!!

Grand Theft Auto Lego

Too much violence results in too much inspiration. We can see Tributes to GTA all over the web, which is great. This time we get to see Grand Theft Auto Lego City, a short film made frame by frame, like the old King Kong movie.

No pic though, can't take a Snapshot of the movie. !$%$%

The Worst Game Covers

Remember when first first came out? The graphics were not as cool as they are now, they had to sell us the ideal look of the game through the box illustration. I remember actually feeling disappointed when I got to play some games for my old PC. There are some illustrators, however that kept the covers shitty, even in great games. Take for example the box cover of the first Megaman game for NES. Damn, Megaman looked like a chimp wearing Football gear!!

Finally someone has arrived to exposed the truth about this. Someone with the courage to say Pac Man has one of the worst game covers ever. And even tackle recent games for the PS2 and te Gameboy Advance. By the way, the page is written in portuguese, but don't worry it is just click and watch action.

Why you shouldn't buy an Xbox 360?


What is an Xbox 360? I really don't know, I've only heard about them in fairy tales and old man stories. What is an Xbox 360 you ask again? You should pursue the men whohave had a grasp of this device. What they will tell you is invaluable...

I could write an entire kid's tale about the Legend of the Xbox 360. I've heard some people who preordered it have not received it yet... so that makes you wander...is that a big crap or what? anyway just to stay in the mood, I'm leaving you with a link to the Top ten reasons why you shouldn't buy an Xbox 360.

Prettey good damn points he has. I've made up my mind. I will wait for the PS3. I have too many Xbox games to finish anyway.

Long Live Mario Bros - The Sequel

This just came in from the news department at One Player:

"Michael Jackson has changed Neverland to Marioland"

And yes, this is a sequel from the post 10 minutes ago. Apparently Mr Jackson is tired of being accused of child abuse, and now he is going for the mushroom abuse charge, and in recent declarations he said: "I really like Mario when he is small without his mushroom". I say "future crime evidence". Dat's the shiat!!

Long Live Super Mario Bros.

Every once in a while a true hero emerges from the deep. Few men can be compared to their wisdom and strength. One of this heroes is Mario. Copied by many, surpassed by no one, Mario stands as the greatest icon in the history of video games. Not even Pac Man comes close.

The game Super Mario Bros has inspired many souls on this planet. I remember that in my childhood the classic tune of Super Mario Bros was like heaven’s music. I would sit in front of the TV and stare amazed at this game, the coolest game ever. Just a guy jumping and throwing balls.

I bring you some of the tributes people, yes people, like you and me had done to this game. And feel free to share your Super Mario Bros experiences, the laughter, the tears, the frustration. At smbjunkie@marioismyleader.com

PS. Please don't forget Luigi, he has feelings too

PEACE!!!

Mario Bros Music Play
Mario Bros "A capella"
Mario Bros Bass Version
Mario Bros Tube
Mario Bros - Tokio Philarmonic

That should be enough. ;)

The Best Classic Arcade Game Songs

The Playa's at Retrocrush have compiled a Top 10 of Songs featured in Classic Arcade Games. I really appreciate they made the songs available for download. Classic Arcade Games are what I grew up with. I remember those arcades at the mall, where I usually spend my spare dollar. Old times... Now they all look shitty, but still retain they emotional value.

What would it be like when I grow older? Classic Xbox360 games? Ah..the future.

Speaking of xbox 360. I gotta get me one!

All Time Crappiest Video Games

This is not my list of shitty games. Although I have to agree with most of the list. In special with Total Recall. I remember I rented this game once, back in the time when I had to actually save some money to rent it for 2 days. So, I rented it and discovered the game was shit. That's right. If you haven't played it i wouldn't recommend yo do that even if you download it for free.

Most of the foes you encounter in this fucking game are dwarves with a beard. You heard it good, they kick you in the balls until you are dead. The whole gameplay is fucked up, and you never get to see Sharon Stone nor the hooker with 3 tits. That in special really sucks. Anyway, maybe the d appear but I never got into playing the 2nd level.

My money was wasted. And on top of that next time I rented Dr. Jekyll & Mr Hyde!!!! Ok, I'm getting mad right now, Gotta grab a beer and relax. Meanwhile check The 20 Worst Video Games of All Time.

Prehistoric Ads for Prehistoric Games

Do you like video game ads? I sure do, nowadays the ads for video games are getting very creative in terms of concept and design. I found this link to a flickr page,where you can see video game ads from the year 1982. A time where most video games looked the same. (although that hasn't changed that much...) And now that I remember, these ads look pretty much the same as ads on magazines i have fromthe nineties. Too bad my scanner isn't working, I could have proved a critical point for the wellness of mankind!!

Damn, do you see that advertisers continued using the same formula again and again. This is a world of formulas! That's why we see the same movie with different actors and title. And that's why we have to play games like Cold Fear, which could be interesting if it wasn't totally based on RE zombies!!. Ok, too much passion in my speech, I should go to sleep.

Peace!!!!!

The Doom Comic Book

So, you’re a fan of Doom right? Then this post right here is for you. Back then when Doom I was the hot shit in video gaming, a Doom Comic was made. It was only 16 pages long, and featured one of the goriest comics at that time.

But what is truly scary about this comic, is the total non-sense of it. Even I had better stories in my head while I was playing Doom late at night and very nervous.

The Doom Comic is not actually the hot shit, is just CRAP. The story basically consists of an unknown man or “the Space Marine” trying to reach the BFG to kill a Cyber Demon. In his way he kills a million zombies, imps, and whatever was in his way. While doing so this crazy dude, shoots some of the most infamous phrases on comic book history such as:

“Rip and Tear Your Guts!

You are huge, that means you have huge guts!

Rip and Tear!”

And…that’s not the work of a single author. Did you really believe this could be just one normal mind? It took two crackhea… I mean men.

Anyway, players, I won’t ruin all the madness of the comic for you, Read the Doom Comic, then tell me what you think. I just hope the Doom Movie is not based on the comic. :P

Game & Watch Violence!

New game using the style Nintendo used for their Game & Watch Games. Which in case you didn't know were very simple games that consisted of only two buttons , Left and Right. And well, that was basically it. This one, though is a more vilent version of the games.

You have to kill with your knives all the Chainsaw Maniacs that appear from the woods!! This game is part of the Resident Evil 4 marketing campaign from Capcom, and it sure brings some memories to my head when I was nothing but a boy, and every friend in school had one of these machines.

Tekken Movie or "We'll never run out of movie titles"

Too many video game movies lately.... I guess this means a new horde of shitty movies is coming our way. Maybe they want to grab some of the attention video game movies got since the announce of Doom: The Movie starring our favorite Oscar winning actor Rocky Miavia.

Well, the new star to become part of this wave is Mr. Jet Li. Jet Li actually has some pretty cool moves in his films, so at least the fighting part will be good. And the movie is nothing more and nothing less than Tekken (to come out on 2006 according to IMDB). I always thought the game was like a movie, or at least it should be a CG movie, but..Who am I right?

So, you may be wondering which Tekken character will he be playing. He will star as "the boxer". The boxer... I've never seen Mr. Jet boxing. Maybe he is some champion of fly weight boxing, I don't know.

The movie is going to be directed by Charles Stone (?), and also features Vicky Zhao (?)....Go do your research. Peace!

Bob and George- funy Video game comics

Check out David Anez's comic strip: Bob and George, I love comic strips and I love video games, so I had to post this. If anyone can join comic strips, video games, and a wet stripper, then I would have to replace this link to the new one.

Hmm I remember I had bookmarked a bunch of other VG comics, but I can't seem to find them in my Pc, maybe they're at my work's computer hehe. :P I'll make sure to rescue those links and put them in her for all you playahs to check.

Also if you have your own strip, let me know!! and you could win a... nothing actually, but you might get published here.

Peace!

Super Mario Broz Speakers

Oh yeah.. I've been missing the japanese craziness lately. But you know what? It is a good craziness. The total freedom they have when creating things, sometimes bring out the coolest products. Just check at this Super Mario Bros speakers!! They may not impress a hot girl at your house, but is still one of the coolest things to have!!

Remember that Christmas is closer every day is passing, so make sure you put these on Santa's list, just below that Lapdance you really really really want. :P

It’s never too late for a Horror Story

I know Halloween has passed, and I know I should have posted something that had to do with the celebration, but the truth is I’ve been too drunk to think about that. Now that I’m coming to my senses again, I found a story to share with you, a story that involves loneliness, greed, obsession, and of course “The DarkSide” hahah HAHAHAHA (mad laughter).

If you want to be a game programmer, artist, developer, or whatever the hell you like to do on the vg industry…. BEWARE!!! Not everything is Super Mario Sunshine out there. Read IGN’s “The Dark Side of Development”, not suitable for the faint of heart!!

Long hours of work, stressful deadlines, and lack of social life, have made hell of the lives of thousands of men on the vg industry. (and maybe the 3 girls working on games). You could be the next… Unless you prefer going pimpin’ around the world! ;)

King Kong Game Info

This news taken from The Name's Kong

As you know, EA will no longer be making the King Kong game. The King Kong game now is in charge of the guys at Ubisoft. And Ubisoft has announced that they will host a variety of Launch Events for the Kig Kong Game in Los Angeles and New York City, featuring 11 interactive gaming kiosks in an environment that looks like a Skull-Island!! It's a good reason for any King Kong fan to visit those cities, specially if you are a video game player too!

In case you don't know the game will be released before the movie, on November 22nd. The highlight of the event will be the release of the Xbox 360 verion on a really big screen. That is because the Xbox 360 gives birth to the new generation of gaming consoles. And iti is going to be released that same day.

Ubisoft will be hosting the Kong-sized events in Los Angeles at Universal City Walk, November 12 from 5-10 p.m. and in New York City at Union Square Park November 17 from 5-10 p.m.

The Real Face of Avatars

It is late in the evening, your room is dark and the only thing that gives some light is the computer screen. You can't just stop the game, you've just found a girl that is kicking your butt from another country, and it seems she is hot as hell. Look at her avatar! She may be as hot as the girl in the game right?...You're wrong man! so wrong...

Avatars are like illusions, avatars are like masks. It is actually a mind game too, because sometimes the brain is fooled into thinking the person has a resemblance to their game characteror avtaar. And that...is dangeorus. Even more so if the face behind that big breasted fighting ninja is a fat bald japanese man.

BBC News, made a story about people behind the avatars, and found out that reality is unfortunately not as good as we would like. See the report here at Online gamers unmasked

Xbox is a correct word - Gamecube and Playstation are not

According to MS Word autocorrect feature, if you type Xbox you are tyuping a legally correct happy word. But what about the competition????

It seems they don't give a fuck about that. Try typing Playstation, try typing Gamecube. Wha'happened?? This is interesting, it shows everytime the make a product they add it to their dictionary database. ONLY THEIR PRODUCTS. That's cool for them, but not for me. Everybody has to be treated eqqquaaall!!! urgh!!! :P

Ok, That's it. Peace!!!!!!!!

Super Mario World. Reeeeemix!

A Man. A Game. An inspiration... How can a guy pay tribute to one of the greatest games for the SNES? Drawing? Playing? Using a Bowser costume? Jason Cox found the perfect way for him to express his inner feelings and deliver a masterpiece of music, much to the like of The Beatles.

Hear these amazing tracks of live music inspired by the game "Super Mario World"

The complete soundtrack to Super Mario World, covered by one man using dozens of instruments. Roughly in game order, faithful to the originals, with some bizarre artistic license thrown around. A private hobby made public.

A Look at Video Game Movies

MSNBC has an article about "the golden years" of video game-inspired movies. They start by sayinf they al suck, and they couln't be any more right.

I remember as a young playah going to the cinema to see the Super Mario Bros movie.... did you see that? The only thing that looked like the game was Mario!! Hell!! what a piece of shit!! and then Mortal Kombat???? They don't mention Street Fighter on the article but they shouldn't because I think you can't even call it a movie!. VG movies have that special feature of taking all the coolness of videogames.

I have not seen Doom yet, but my guess is the only cool part of the movie will be the final one when the movie looks like the game, as a FPS. It's like Alien vs Predator. WHY HIRE STUPID DIRECTORS TO DO STUPID IDEAS???

*LATEST NEWS*(For me anyway) There will be another Mortal Kombat Movie: Devastation. Read the article here. That news are so old I shouldn't post it..

Coolest characters: Alucard - Castlevania

Alucard is one of the coolest characters in one of the coolest games: Castlevania. Alucard first show up on Castlevania III, but it is not until the best game on Castlevania series that we see Alucard shine in all his splendor!! I'm talking about Symphony of the Night.

He's weak at first. But do no underestimate him!!! During the course of the game he will be stronger and stonger! and if you know the cheats, he'll be invincible!!! that's right playaz, if you haven't played this game you should buy a second hand PSOne or a Ps2 and play it. Seriously.

Enough talk! I'm leaving you some link for you to check! NO roms though, don't want legal probs. Cya!

Alucard - Bishounen Info
Alucard No Miko's Castlevania X Hall

Cool Megaman X Sprites

Do you know what a Sprite is???? NO, it's not your favorite drink!! sprites are each frame of animation of each character on 2d games. So let's say if you are playing Megaman X, and the game freezes on the very instant Megaman X is leting go a Shot, that Megaman alone is a Megaman X Sprite. And since I'm talking about Megaman X Sprite I'm gonna leave you guys the best pages that have Megaman X Sprites!!! We'll be doing this once in a while for different games. And don't think I've forgot about the Video game Babes! they're coming too!!

Gameboy Advance SP is a Bad boy too!


Look at this ad. What do you think the boy is doing?????

The pictures of women give you a hint?

May be a fake but still cool!

Wario Ware's Backward Masking

Backward Masking is when someone put a message on a recording backwards. We have many examples on that. Songs like "Hotel California" and "Stairway to heaven" rock classics.

Now it is the turn of the Nintendo DS to put subliminal messages. Watch the Wario Ware Secret Message Video and you will hear a very special message, more interesting because Nintendo always have ben the good boy" of consoles. (Horrible images of Mortal Kombat without blood, come to my mind)

Happy Birthday Dear NES!! With a delay

I feel like I forgot one of my best friend's birthday. Yeah, whatever anyway: Happy Birthday and 2 days!!! The NES is 20 years old, I wouldn't say alive and kicking, but I would say living virtually through ROMs.... Memories..memories...how long will you stay...

The NES came to life on October 18th, 1985 in the US, so my guess is it should be a little older.
Don't forget next year! he's turning 21, now we can go drink some Vodka Tonics!

The Nintendo NES Micro

It seems everyday people come up with new gadgets. The last one (at least realted to video games) is the NES Micro. This dude, hacked the Gameboy Micro and made it compatible with NES games! adn with NES cartridges, so you must buy the original NES games if you want to do something like that!

In his page: Ben Heckendorn's NES Micro, he detais step by step how he made this wonder of nature..I mean..of technology. And shows us more geeky ways to use our free time!

That's it for today, got a lotta work. See y'all!!! Peace!

Steven Spielberg works for EA

Tha man who brought a lot of my favorite movies was hired by Electronic Arts to make 3 games!!
3 games!!. Now that games are like movies, imagine what a genius like Spielberg can bring to us, let's hope the world doesn't come to an en before the releases...

Hollywood and games are closing together, and keep in mind that in the future it could be a shitty thing to happen, just look at all the pre-made movies hollywood guys are specialized in. If you don't know, Peter Jackson also signed earlier this week to make movie based on the game Halo.

Birdo Our Transsexual Friend

This may be shocking to some of you but the truth is the truth and no one can change it.

Birdo is a transsexual.

Remember Birdo from Mario Bros 2 on NES? If you are too young probably not, but the if you are too young you shouldn't be looking this site!! The thing is that Birdo was a "he" in SMB2, his description was like this:

"He thinks he is a girl an he spits eggs from his mouth. He'd rather be called 'Birdetta' "

WTF?? It seems Mr. Miyamoto, although he is a genius, is a little perverted japanese! What's that about spitting eggs form his mouth?? Did he swallow too much?? Anyway, it seems Birdo finally took a step further in the year 2000 thanks to the medical advances in the field of sex change and now he is she. A woman. If you don't believe me ask Yoshi, who appears on the Mario Tennis for N64's game manual in some romantic situations.

You didn't know that?...Now you do, just be cool. Peace!!

Read the original story at The First Transsexual Videogame Character?

Video Game Director's Cut

VGDC is one of those sites any gaming fan should visit. As they say themselves they are "the most prominent video game flash site on the web", like a specialized Newgrounds.

Inside VGDC you will find movies, games, a fan art portal, a forum, and more. These type of sites are really cool and have the same mentality as One Player: Having more fun with games, injecting some of our own imagination and even pervertions into them and exploring new sides!

The Next Generation of Gamers

I was reading a post in Joystiq yesterday about their review of the Xbox 360. They get on to talk about the new features of the 360 and how it is new in the aspect of playing online. They also mention that the advances of the Xbox 360 is geared more to the new generation of gamers.

More than entering a new era of consoles we are entering a new era of gaming. Over the years and with games like Counter Strike and Unreal we've seen how gamers are becoming popular and some people emerge as elite. This next generation is all about seeing gaming not only as a single player mode but as a collective experience, more like sunday football games. I think it's cool, although I probably won't spend a sunday afternoon seeing the Dead or Alive World Cup!

To reach that point maybe we should make games fully customizable in terms on the player, and I mean FULLY, that way we could recognize each player. Like a car that has distinctives features and tweakings. If someone is geared towards next gen gamers, I think they should follow that path.

Peace!!!!

Jeez, I found Another Page of Accidental VG Porn

Yes, i thought it was the same page but somehow I clicked on the link and there it was right before my shining eyes : "The Accidental Video Game Porn Archive" compared to the last one this is an encyclopedia and it also includes newer games. The quality though, is not as good some pics are just a waste of time, but as my grandpa said: "You gotta dig to find the gold"

So go on, keep enjoying the sickness

Sexual moments in Video Games


This link is too old, I saw it way back before I even had blogs. But again, everyday new people come to the Net. People like YOU!!! hehe. Anyway, this is a compilation of the most sexual moments in videogames, made by the perverts at i-mockery. A cool link indeed.

id Plans making a Quake Movie


After Doom: the movie, more video games movies are on plans. id Software spoke to Sci Fi Wire and they reveal that a Quake movie is in plan. They even think of it before the Doom movie! I just hope that movie Doom doesn't suck, but probably will...

Anyway tat isn't nothing that matter id. According to Todd Hollenshead, CEO of id Software, "It won't make much difference to us, we see everything independently, But in the ranks of Hollywood, if they see the Doom movie as successful, it will raise the interest level and they would want other game movies and come to us."

Read the story here

Governator after Violent Games

Mr. Governator aka Arnie, has signed a bill on violent videogames. This bill bans the sale or rental of violent videogames to minors.
I'm not a minor so I don't care, I can play whatever I want. But if you want to read more about this go to this link:

Governator Signs Bill on Violent Games

That's a great gesture of him after killing 10,356 dudes on the screen, way to go!

Jeff Brown, spokesman for Electronic Arts, said in a statement that "the certainty of a constitutional challenge makes this a hollow gesture. Several courts have affirmed that games enjoy the same constitutional protections as movies, books and television and I expect they will come to the same conclusion in California.''

Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil

The Expansion set of Doom 3 has been released for Xbox, that means i will have to buy it just for the sake of having it. I got Doom 3 for the X but I still haven't played because my life is so busy.
Anyway, I've already played it on my PC, kinda slow motion though, and when I tried to install Doom3 RoE I couldn't. So I must get this game to avoid replaying Doom3 and to have a boost on Speed. Just like Farcry..Damn that games was so slow on some points, even taking out all the fancy effects, I sure needed to buy an $800 graphic card.

This is the best point when deciding to buy a console. You don't have to upgrade it every month, and you are mostly sure that everygame will do well.

1up's Take at Fanart


1up has published a nice article in their website (like they usually do) about fans and video games. It's got all about VG fandom. Cosplay, fanfic, fanart,fan...i don't know, anyway give it aread, don't just sit all day playing games.

Virus for PSP and DS

The era of portable system and console vioruses has come ladies and gentleman. We no longer will be safe playing our games without some fuck ruining all the fun. There's a virus out there that makes your PSP useless, so you can use it as whatever you like besides playing. And you know what? If you got a Nintendo DS you can be infected too!! Cool!!!..Not.
So, what to do? Don't accept anything or even llok at anything with the name of r0mloader or taihen. Don't say I didn't warn you. this is a Trojan viruas that will affect your GBAMP firmware and the Supercard firmware.

    The OTHER Megaman Collection


    Have you checked the Megaman Collection? I'm not talking about the game that went out from Capcom featuring the Classic Megaman Games. I'm talking about the Newgrounds Megaman Collection!!! It has tons of Megaman Stuff, from Parodies, to games and little movies. Worth to check if you are a Megaman like myself. I really wish i was in Japan just to buy those cool toys and collectible figures they have there, like the sculpture of Mai Shiranui I put on the first VG Babe of the Week. Speaking of it, let me know any suggestions for the VGB. C'mon I know you like it, if you have pics the better, it was somewhat hard to find good Morrigan pics, I don't know why.. A couple of years ago it was easier dontcha think?

    Violence in Videogames - Again and again

    Today I grabbed a Reader's Digest that talked about violence in videogames. With all that crap of psychologists talking about how games can make kids go violent and how people that play videogames are no longer touched by certain subjects and they get used to killing and blah blah. I really don't know why people keep talking about this. Maybe it's just to fill pages. It seems violence around the world started when GTA was launched. Of course it is crap. crap crap crap.
    It makes me mad, is like blaming music. There are tangible, real causes for violence that are far more obvious. I'm not saying video games can't spark violence on people, it sure does but on a very small percentage. And the violence within those subjects has its roots in other aspects, like abuse, low self esteem, depression, racism, bad parents or lack of freedom.

    Video Game History


    Check out this page about the history of the videogames. Learn how it all began over 50 years ago. That's a long time! This page has a great design I like it. It from the guys at PBS. They actually make great documentaries. Plus in this page you'll find some picks of the best and worst games. Some of them are crap for me.
    Check out the timeline too. Definetly a great resources. Y'know, a player must know his history.

    The Video Game Music Archive


    This site VGMusic, has a MIDI archive of 20,000 video game tunes for you to enjoy. They have all the files properly ctegorized according to Game System and Title. Really Cool, specially if you want to throw a Nintendo Party at your crib. They even have a VGRadio 14 hours of continued played. Y'all must check out this, there are actually great pieces of music from Video games, I like the Castlevania Ones.

    Video Game Babe of the Week Nº2

    Our VGBOW comes from the distants Devil Dimension. She is a fine booty-Devil woman. And sure made a lot uf you whis her tiny outfit fall during a fight. That did'nt happen of course, that's why there are now so many hentai publications out there using her image. I'm talking of course about Morrigan Aenslan.
    Morrigan made her first appearance on the CAPCOM game Vampire Saviour aka. Darkstalkers. She herself is one of the main characters on this Darkstalkers Universe, heir of the Dark Realm.

    Quote - "Attack me harder! I want to get all hot and sweaty too!" - Yeah..that's what I want to hear form my girl...

    Enjoy da show. cya!

    Is an autosave feature too hard to put?

    Or did I just forgot to turn it on? thing is yesterday I was playing Halo2 for the second time and I found out that nothing of I played before was saved!!! and that was a lot because this game is so absorbing. I mean, I saw this text messages on the top left corner as if it was autosaving but it wasn't!! It is frustrating y'know?

    Now i won't play Halo2 until next month, I can't stand to play a lot of the same levels, so now I'mplaying MAfia, which is like GTA. So far so good, not like GTA San Andreas that crashed just like my Ninja Gaiden game

    Shitty Government Games


    US Government has launched a videogame to teach children to eat right. You can read the news here. So... It's supposed to be a Rocket Ship right?..... That makes me wonder if people that make this games have the right nutrition. And that name... "MyPyramid Blast Off?" C'mon!

    I'm making a prediction right now: These type of games will have less impact than Captain Planet had back in the 90's. the good ol' captain sure did save us from pollution.... ....
    I don't get the point of making these type of videogames, I've played Mario Bros for years and don't eat mushrooms (not even smoke'em), stars or flowers and I don't go around the streets punching concrete blocks. I think that if they want to get people healthy for videogames they should give away for free Dance Dance Revolution machines for all fat people. That game sure made me sweat!

    But I guess for the government is all going the hard way. I'm off to eat some flowers!

    Videogames Magazine Ads


    Yo, here is a cool site that has a lot of videgames ads for magazines. I'm talking about classic games here like Megaman, Spy Hunter, A Nightmare on Elm Street and others.
    Check this link right now.
    There are also japanese ads and spanish ads this is awesome and a MUST download for any game things collector. This all brings old memories to me, feels like I'ma kid again..passing the pages of a magazine, discovering the latest 2d platform games, wondering about the new Street Fighter game. All of that makes me wonder..where didI put my old Game Pros, guess I'll have to go to the basement to see if they're still alive. Hope is Never Lost!!!!!

    Zelda Wind-Waker on Lego


    This is Mr. Link on Legoland. He sure looks happy, that's because there's no foe already on Legoland. I think everybody should have their own lego figure, it's like a parallel universe and most of the characters are always happy even if you chop their heads.

    Go to here, you will find more Zelda-Leo Action going on, including Link in his sailboat a dragon and not much more! Still is Cool. Peace!

    Alright. Listen Up! this looks pretty awesome. In case you haven't noticed yet, that is a Shotgun-Nintendo-Revolution-Controller-Attachment. Now just don't get all excited, it doesn't exist, it's just a rendering, but the guys at IGN have an article about this.
    We've all been thinking about all the possible applications for that controller, cause it sure add another level.
    Y'know what would be awesome too? A Nintendo Revolution Megaman Megablaster!!! Hell Yeah! I wish I had some time on my hands to do my own 3d rendering.

    Super Mario Freak Bros


    This drawings right here are among the scariest I've ever seen about Mario Bros. Yes in some drawings they managed to turn Mario in full gay grown man with his "friend" Luigi. But anyway it is kinda interesting. The page is in japanese, so I don't understand a single thing. If there's someoneone out there that can understand japanese, we could use a hand here!!.

    Now I'm waiting for the Pikachu Series. That Yellow freak in the back of Mario on the Home Page.

    Halo heading to Mobile Phones



    In-Fusio (a global entertainment publisher and game services provider for mobile phones, Mr Press Release tells us) has announced that it’s going to develop and publish "downloadable and embedded mobile applications based on the Halo universe" thanks to a deal struck with Microsoft and Bungie.
    Apparently, In-Fusio’s first Halo-based project will be out later in the year. What exactly this project will be hasn’t been revealed, although there’s sort of a hint from Julian Corbett, Vice President, Business Development and Brand Partnerships, In-Fusio: "We are dedicated to expanding the [Halo] franchise in ways that will be exciting for existing fans as well as delivering a fun and satisfying experience for a whole new audience."
