I happen to be one of the few dozen people who haven’t seen Inception yet. I hear it’s quite the mind-trip. Although I usually have a rule that I never, ever play games based on movies under any circumstances, Inception for the NES seems like it would be a rather interesting experience. One element that the NES lacked, like most Nintendo products, is a twisted, thrilling side. Most Nintendo sanctioned games seem to be watered down or family-oriented and cutesy-pootsy...

Anybody who has played Blizzard’s Diablo series understand all too well why the inventory system has been dubbed by the community as the “tetris inventory.” Much like Tetris, players struggle to fit their inventory blocks into perfectly organized sections for optimal space usage. At least that was the reason before the creation of Diablo Tetris. Finally, someone has created a game which many of us have been talking about for a decade. Try and fit all of the inventory in...

When Google unleashed their custom version of Pac-Man on the world, in honor of the game’s 30th anniversary, they must not have realized the tremendous amount of time it would suck away from the lives of their disciples.

Google Pac-Man consumed 4,819,352 hours of... Continue reading

I thought I had reached the epitome of geekdom when I managed to simultaneously play my NES system and build a LEGO creation, but man, I was wrong, as it usually the case. How many peeks of geekery has  their been in Gearfuse’s history? More than necessary. What was I thinking anyway? My actions could have been made exponentially geekier with some simple LEGO innovation. I could have been playing my NES while creating a bricktastic full-scale NES cartridge. Of... Continue reading

They should have used a real ape. And a real princess. And a real superhero plumber (not you Joe). Video after the jump.

OK, look, I know I was just saying how much of a futuristic geek I am, but it seems I’m more stuck in my retro roots than I originally thought. All the proof I needed was the boner I got when I saw these awesome Asteroids Wall Decals. I remember first jamming out to Asteroids on a vintage Atari 2600 (a little before my time, so it was indeed a legacy machine). What can I say, it was love. Anyway,... Continue reading

How the Tony Hawk video game franchise keeps chugging along is beyond me, especially with the release of Skate 2. So to keep things fresh, the latest incarnation of the franchise, titled Tony Hawk RIDE, will feature an actual skateboard controller. See it down there? With all the buttons on the side? How the fuck is this thing going to work? I’m curious to find out. Look for it to hit the PS3, 360 and Wii sometime this year. Link
