Live near a Gamestop? Most likely since they’re more common than McDonald’s these days. The retailer is selling a new silver-colored DualShock 3 controller for the PS3 now. It’s $55 and will get you nothing but street cred*. *- Actual street cred may vary. Link

Fact: Master Chief won the “Best Dressed” superlative in his graduating class’s yearbook. Quite a stud, Master Chief was. Quite a stud indeed. And apparently an athlete. I see he earned his varsity letter. Assuming he didn’t threaten the varsity coach with a head shot. More Master Chief nostalgia after the jump.

Goddamnit. July is right around the corner. I was getting super excited for the release of King of Fighters XII to replace my UFC addiction. But now I’ll have to wait. SNK is claiming the game will be out sometime in July now and hasn’t given a legitimate reason why. Rumor has it that SNK needs to re-tune the game ...

Lately, I’ve been playing my PS3 quite a bit. But aside from UFC 2009: Unleashed, I haven’t been playing titles built for the system. No, I’ve been dropping $5 or $10 here and there and replaying classic PSOne titles. For $9.99, you can download games like Resident Evil: Director’s Cut and Final Fantasy VII and play them in all their ...

It’s still burning like a mother, but it’s so worth it. What could be better than Mario and the Jedi mashed together?� It’s like, my childhood in one awesomely sexy package. What sort of geeky tats have you been looking into?

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 ...

I didn’t know that the Army of Two franchise was such a huge hit but apparently, it’s enough a cash cow for EA that it’s decided to create some sweet-lookin’ action figures based on the game’s characters. I wish these were around when I was a kid. Look at the detail on these fuckers. Toy maker NECA really knows how ...

I’d like to share with you a bit of my childhood. After I bitched enough that SEGA Genesis wasn’t making the grade, my parents got me a Super Nintendo. A few years later, I would be in Babbages (remember those before GameStop bought ’em out?) and spotted this Capcom Pad for the SNES for a mere $14.99. I bought it. ...

Is this really necessary? Come on now. At this point the list of available Nintendo Wii accessories is getting out of control. What’s next? An egg whisk add-on that I can use to play those ridiculous cooking games? No thanks. Link

Personally, putting new shells on consoles was never my thing. I never understood why someone would risk taking apart their shiny new PlayStation or Sega Dreamcast so that they could wrap it up in a clear, translucent layer of plastic. But such is life, as well as this Nintendo DSi case. Created by accessories manufacturer XCM, the shell lets you ...
