Hasbro teamed up with Google to create their online game Monopoly City Streets. Integrating Google Maps into the gameplay, players can choose from over one million streets worldwide to purchase in-game. Users will be able to build football stadiums and skyscrapers, in addition to the usual hotels and houses, as well as prisons and garbage dumps on opponents’ streets. Monopoly ...

Clue isn’t only a classic board game, but the movie based on the game is awesome as well. If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend it. Tim Curry is vastly underrated. By the way, it probably wasn’t Colonel Mustard in the bedroom with the dildo, as I found out multiple times last time I played. I tried to fight ...

Alright, that’s IT! I could live with the destruction of all hope for intelligent life caused by the Hello Kitty Laptop, and I could deal with them ruining my work place with the Hello Kitty Water Cooler, but nobody, and I mean NOBODY, fucks with the sanctity of my Rubik’s Cube… unless it’s Nintendo. It’s pretty much everything you would ...

Designer Angela Moramarco created this AnatoWii project, demonstrating what the anatomy of the Wii console might look like if it had internal organs, rather than hardware. Consoles, in their own way, can become living, breathing members of our everyday life. Why shouldn’t they have their own anatomical charts? If we had to guess what organ composed the Wii, we would ...

Your favorite ravenous worm-thing of the moment, Playstation’s version of The Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar, Noby Noby Boy, wasn’t quite our bag when we checked it out a few months. It’s a nice little game if you happen to be drunk and lazing around on the couch, but probably not worth the $5 it costs. If you’re a bigger fan of ...

Finally, an achievement anybody can earn, without even playing a game. The Xbox 360 Achievement: Red Ring of Death t-shirt rings a little too close to home for us Xbox gamers.

Speed, speed, speed. Check out these three videos to see the major speed boost firmware version 3.0 provides for the PS3, even for Blu Ray discs. Not to mention, it’s much prettier.

I have a confession. A few years ago we sort of lied to you by saying that the old NES Coffee Table was actually a coffee table. In actuality, it was more like a NES Controller trunk, not a proper table at all. Luckily, if you’re really, really into geeky household shit, there is currently a real NES Controller coffee ...

What up south paws? Gaming controllers got you down? Lack the coordination in your right hand to successfully tap out the X Y B A buttons? Who decided to call it the “right” hand anyway. We say, it’s the WRONG hand. UNH! In yo face! Master modder Ben Heck busted out this awesome swapped Xbox 360 controller, a controller made ...

We’ve loved almost every single Xbox 360 case mod we’ve ever seen, except the ones which are designed to glorify your fandom for the Twilight series. And seeing as we’ve only seen one Twilight-themed Xbox, I think you get the point. (We hate this damn thing) If you like this sort of crap (you might also like our great collection ...
