The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
G-Force (All current systems):Sometimes I run across games that actually look good but just leave me scratching my head. G-Force is one of them. It brings a whole new meaning to la muerte peluda as you play as a member of a team of elite secret agent guinea pigs. Somebody’s been tearing up the Riverbank…
Metal Gear Solid Touch caused quite a stir when it was first announced. The mysterious green logo had many thinking the PS3 exclusive MGS4 would be coming to the Xbox. Rather it turned out to be an iPhone spinoff game. While the game has been out for some time, Konami has released a lite version…
In a story that comes as no surprise to anyone, Duke Nukem Forever has officially had the Fatboy dropped on it. The game’s developer 3D Realms has announced that it is shutting down. Webmaster Joe Siegler told forum members that the announcement was “not a marketing thing. It’s true.” Things may not be dead for…
When it comes to video games, nobody can match Nintendo’s level of innovation. While Sony and Microsoft have always boasted the superior hardware, their systems and games have always followed convention and rarely stray outside the lines. Big N revolutionized the gaming industry as we know it in the post crash era; inventing the platformer…
I really wanted to do Ghetto Golf for this one but no trailer has been released for it yet. Of course, there is no shortage of other bad games to cover.Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust (Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PC)There are some things games should not include and sex is one of them. Oh…

I’ve got Ghetto Golf lined up for next week. Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier (Nintendo DS)This is… the most awesome thing I have ever…
WarioWare Myself (Nintendo DS)I think I just Wii-ed myself watching this one. This one was actually developed by Nintendo as a Wiiware title. The Warioware games, staring the beloved anti-Mario, have been quite popular on several Nintendo platforms. Basically, they’re just a collection of minigames. I think they’re really starting to run out of ideas…
The saga of Xbox 360 hardware failures never seems to end. Those buying Jasper models thought they were out of the woods in regards to system crippling hardware errors got an unwelcome surprise. Last month, it was discovered that Xbox 360s purchased in the last year or so seemed to be suffering an unusually high…
Squeeballs (Wii, Xbox 360, PS3)They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Even better if you can take a popular game and throw in plenty of bloody animal abuse into it. That pretty much sums up Squeeballs, a combination of Wii Sports and Mario Party. Count ’em, 100 minigames where all you do is…
