Record of Agarest War: The Really Naughty Edition prevents gaming dudes from getting lucky

Record of Agarest War: The Really Naughty Edition prevents gaming dudes from getting lucky

Companies using boobs to sell goods is one of the oldest and most dependable forms of advertising. Depending on your stance on the issue, you’ll either drool over the assets on display, laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation, or wave an angry fist. But when you move the situation to the gamingverse, and replace [...]

Game Boy tube dress lets you push your girl’s buttons (in a good way)

Game Boy tube dress lets you push your girl’s buttons (in a good way)

This dress blows my mind with total awesomeness. Amber over at Etsy put this sexy and fashionable piece together. At only $60 for the medium size, I’d expect to see it donned all over St. Mark’s place in NYC or perhaps Red Bank in Jersey. This really couldn’t have been designed any better as it all falls into place perfectly in terms of where the buttons should be, the color scheme, etc.

Maybe if successful, Amber could possibly do Game Boy Colors? That’d be cool.

There’s been chatter of how this revolutionary portable computer will save the newspaper and magazine industries, change the way media is distributed, and give parents to lonely orphans, but oddly, there hasn’t been [...]

Review: FreeStyle Street Basketball (PC)

Review: FreeStyle Street Basketball (PC)

JCE’s FreeStyle Street Basketball is one of those titles that you simply have to dive into to truly understand why I blew way too many hours of my holiday break glued to a PC. When I told my bud Terry Lewis, editor-in-chief of The Other View, that I was playing a cell-shaded, anime-styled MMO b-ball game, [...]

Review: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes (DS)

Earlier this week I posted my first impressions of Ubisoft’s Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, and after long hours of trial and error I’ve finally beaten the game. If you’re asking yourself if it gets that difficult to beat, the answer is yes. I’d never expected to encounter such a high difficulty level on [...]
