Like it or not, Microsoft has managed to dominate the console market in just a few years. The company just announced that it has sold over 30 million Xbox 360s around the world. In addition to that impressive number, Microsoft has 20 million Xbox Live subscribers. By comparison, Activision-Blizzard’s World of Warcraft has around 12 million. Talk about a cash ...

The Converse Chuck Taylor is becoming the premier shoe for customization as of late. Rodrigo Galindez, however, looks to a game from the 1990s for inspiration. The amazing Gram Fandango lives on in the form of purple-colored high-top Chucks. To own a pair would be divine, but alas, they aren’t for sale. Link [via]

Skateboarders and gamers alike probably all got a nice wet dream when Tony Hawk RIDE was first announced. Now that they’ve wiped up, there’s a new reason to keep that beach towel handy. The game has been priced at $119.99 and will ship October 13th. Sure, it’s a bit of a ways off right now, but it’ll be here just ...

Take a good look at this photo. Do you see what I see? If you said “tits“, then you’re close, but no cigar. I’m talking about that thing on Morgan Webb’s lap. It’s the upcoming DJ Hero controller and judging by the look of things, I’m not very impressed. It looks cheap and rather bland if you ask me. I ...

Capcom, maker of Metal Gear Solid and Street Fighter, loves the iPhone. So much, in fact, that in the next year, Capcom will release 10 new titles for the device on the Apple App Store. No details are available on whether or not current titles will be ported to the iPhone/iPod Touch, but keep your eyes peeled for titles relating ...

The one thing the Nintendo Wii has going for it is the ability to download classic NES and SNES titles and play them at your free will. The problem is, the Wiimote sucks. It’s the worst controller in the world for playing games that require no more than a D-pad and two buttons. This nifty little adaptor from Komodo will ...

Good news! Walmart isn’t just for hicks and drug addicts anymore! Now gamers can actually get excited about their parents dragging them to everyone’s favorite discount retailer. 77 stores in the Northeast US have received these nifty trade-in kiosks. You trade in your games and the value is put on your credit card a few days later. I wonder if ...

Though only a silhouette exists, my detective work tells me that someone going under the alias of “Toad” is dealing shrooms. Lots of shrooms. At $20 an eighth, these are going fast and I’m worried Mario might be caught up in the mix. Rehab? We’ve considered it. But then we wouldn’t feel so big and powerful anymore and that’s just ...

PSP owners have been patient long enough! Finally, a Rock Band title is coming to the console in the form of Rock Band Unplugged. Were you hoping this would include exclusive MTV Unplugged versions of songs by your favorite 1990s bands? Hopefully not, ’cause that’s just not the case with Harmonix’s latest rocker game. But judging by the tracklist, not ...

Here’s a game I have to speak up about. I recently downloaded the demo of UFC 2009 Undisputed on PSN. Since then, my roommates and I have not been able to put down the PS3 controllers because this game is really fun. Excellent graphics, huge knockouts and real UFC announcers make playing this title a real pleasure. I love knocking ...
