Whaka-whaka-whaka, a highly skill guitar sculptor, through some kind of super space-age ninja skill, constructed a Pacman Guitar, which is quite simply, the coolest guitar ever made. And at a price of $5,600 united statesian currency units, this marvel of art and science is also one of the most expensive video game themed things ever […]

Following on from yesterday’s article regarding MAME on the PSP, Engadget has word that there’s a GBA emulator working on the PSP, which is pretty impressive.
But don’t get your hopes up too high, little Jimmy McPirate, I’ve been lead to believe through my various web browsing that GBA emulation is highly CPU intensive, so […]

Ever wondered what adverts for past Zelda games looked like? Wonder no more, as Legends and Adventures explores a back catalogue of Zelda TV advertising from past years and past systems.
My favourite one is the first, advertising the very first LoZ on the NES. Thick glasses, bad rapping, just geeks gaming - those were the […]

Add MAME to the growing list of emulation software gracing Sony’s portable thanks to our software hacking friends in the OSS community. MAME now runs on the PSP.
This means the PSP can run most arcade machine ROMS from the last 3 decades, including PacMan, Donkey Kong, the original Asteroids and my favourite, Time Pilot, […]

Viewtiful Joe is one of the many, many, many, many games I desire that have come out in the past three years and a purchase by me of which has been prevented due to my lifestyle as a poor student.
There’s a version coming out for the DS, which looks pretty cool in the video […]

Engadget has the word of the world’s tiniest NES controller. It’s fully operational, looks the part, and is the size of one of those American “quarters”, however big that is (I seem to remember them being reasonably small, like the NZ 20c piece, which probably means nothing to any of you).
There’s full details on the […]

There’s a report over at 4 Color Rebellion stating that Nintendo’s Brain Training Game, or “Touhokudai Gaku Mirai Kagakugijutsu Kyoudoukenkyuu Center” as it’s know in Japan, has sold through more than 100,000 copies in it’s first three weeks of release, which is quite amazing considering it’s one of those non-game games I’m so keen on […]

Twisted Monkey, along with others , are reporting the Sony is intending on shipping the PS3 HDD add-on, pre-installed with Linux, my favourite operating system.
This makes for an interesting proposition. If the hacker community gives it minimal work, Sony could find the PS3 being bought and used as low cost servers and desktop machines, while […]

Infendo has an interesting conversation progressing on the opinion that the GameCube controller is the best controller out. I agree it’s pretty good, and I prefer it over the XBox and PS2 controllers (and the Dreamcast controller), although it still has it’s problems.
The Z button is stupid. I think a trigger style Z1 and […]

Mario has had his face on many items. From cereal to soft toys and even Tetris clones. But this time I believe the Mario, and indeed the entire retro bandwagon, has gone too far.
Not content with only having their wrists in constant agony from carpel tunnel syndrome, some jokers have decided that the fingers too […]
