The above video of the classic NES game Tecmo Bowl is not rigged with any Game Genies or codes. What you see is former Raiders powerhouse Bo Jackson. Bo may have ended his career in football with a tackle that screwed up his hip, but the man of speed and strength lives on in this amazing video game. Witness the ...

Shake what’cha mama gave yaaaa! Finally! The Nintendo Wii is good for something. Link

Kids love colorful shit that looks like it’s right out of the early 1990s. Case in point: Swinx. Swinx is supposedly a game system designed by the Dutch that interacts with children. Your kids run around with these RFID-enabled colored wristbands and a clover-shaped base station alerts children to the game they’ll be playing. Sound confusing? That’s because we’re not ...

The next time I see Peter Ha from CrunchGear (and I will soon), I’m punching him in the stomach. You know why? Because this video showcasing the latest Guitar Hero title for the Nintendo DS is just appalling. They hired a major movie announcer guy for the voiceover, some huge douche to play the role of a rock star and ...

There are more RPGs in existence than the current population of China. Not even the most devoted RPG fan could have sampled them all.

If you are one of many unfortunate owners of one, you’re probably looking for some application that might be of more use than flailing your arms around during Wii Sports tennis only to have the ball be hit the same way every ...

Shivers me timbers and call me DIY! I just bought a Guitar Hero controller yesterday and now the boys at Giz’ are saying that Guitar Hero 4‘s controller will have additional fret-button-thingies. Sheesh. The case for this new accusation? A GH promo page shows an expanded drum kit and additional frets on the guitar. This could really make modding the ...

Fun to watch, but not fun to play. Otherwise, the Nokia N-Gage might actually have been a success with their killer Snakes game. A student house in Poland used a microprocessor to control the lights in the building, which was then programmed to play Snake, Snakes, Rattler Race…whatever the hell you want to call it. Very cool. Now let’s see ...

As Ryan suggested the other day, why not play beer pong to entertain a group of guests you’re having over? It’s a great way to keep the party alive and get drunk at the same time. Except now, some shitty game publisher is ruining the sport forever by publishing a game called Beer Pong for the Nintendo Wii. Riddle me ...
