Another top ten list for today, this time we look back at gaming’s greatest failures.

Well, it’s something so bad that nobody ever wants to make that mistake again….
Thin and light seems to be in, with the netbook craze and the Macbook Air. Dell released it’s Adamo today, and all the tech pundits are putting it forth as an Air killer. Well, maybe if the Air were castrated and got fat eating a bucket of ice cream after loosing it’s manhood. Dell doesn’t…
The environment is big these days so we all know how important is to recycle. Sega is doing just that with yet another compilation package of Genesis titles. I really don’t have a lot to say about this game collection other than it’s pretty much identical to the Sega Genesis Collection that was released on…

I must admit I like the Eee Box. I haven’t had a chance to get my hands on one though but from what I’ve seen and heard, it’s a nice little system. Asus is addressing concerns over its media capability by upgrading it to the Intel Atom 330, a dual-core 1.6ghz processor. It will also…
