I think this is a photoshop project rather than an actual mod, but if it actually existed I would have to have one STAT. DeviantArtist DarkTwist made up this skin for the Wii which makes it over into a far better Nintendo system, the NES. Really, it is kind of sad to see Nintendo come from such a great history and slowly become boring as all hell. Don’t get me wrong, there are a few fun Wii games, but for the most part, the system is flooded with absolutely garbage games, and it lacks the processing power to play any of the “new classics” that populate the PS3 and 360. Pick it up Nintendo, I am counting on you.

Xbox Live Dating is Ridiculous!!
Okay being a female gamer I hear just about every pick line in the book on Xbox Live. Sometimes it's pretty funny I will admit (like the other day a guy said to me “Man you suck at Modern Warfare… so, do you have a boyfriend?” LOL) but mostly it is completely annoying. I get online to play videogames. I am not online looking for my future soulmate. May 19, 2010
Ghostbuster Surprise
Now I must tell you I am a HUGE Ghostbusters fan. It is one of those timeless movies from my childhood that stops me in my tracks whenever it is aired on tv. Few movies have this esteemed place in my heart. But I have to tell you that when I saw this all I could do was wish I was there to experience this for myself. I bawled in Laughter at this hilarious pop culture tribute to a classic and I just had to share it.
RED DEAD REDEMPTION DELIVERS
You'd think the lawless atmosphere of the Old West would be the perfect venue for compelling video game action, but oddly, cowboy-themed games are a rare sight. But not this week. Red Dead Redemption, a gritty cowboy thriller from the creators of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, should be in your local game store by now, and it's promising to shoot up the charts with all the enthusiasm its outlaw heroes might normally display for shooting up a saloon. And judging by the rave reviews it's getting, its purchasers are in for a real treat. So far, Red Dead Redemption, which combines Grand Theft Auto's familiar open-world structure with the atmosphere, script, and cast of a big-budget Clint Eastwood flick, is earning immense praise. It's "one of 2010's best games so far" (G4TV). It's "a truly epic resuscitation of the Western theme in games" (Official Xbox Magazine). It's "one of the deepest, most fun, and most gorgeous games around" (IGN). Even the New York Times hopped on the bandwagon, calling it "such a convincing, cohesive and enthralling reimagination of the real world that it sets a new standard for sophistication and ambition in electronic gaming." In short, if you're serious about Westerns, this might just be the best game you've ever played.

No More Wasted Micosoft Points?!
How many of you have a small pittance of leftover Microsoft Points from your last Xbox Live Marketplace purchase, putting you in the untenable position of either letting the points go to waste or purchasing a new batch of points in a large increment that will probably only leave you with yet more leftover points after a purchase anyway? Well, good news: That's less likely to happen now. In case you missed it, at some point over the last couple of days Microsoft quietly changed the increments of points they offer for purchase online, with new increments of 400 rather than the old 500. Now, it's $4.99 for 400 points, $9.99 for 800, $19.99 for 1600, and $49.99 for 4000. It's a small change, but one with great importance: Since most items on sale on the Xbox Live Marketplace tend to cost 400, 800, and 1600 points, it means you'll now likely be able to purchase only as many points as you need in order to buy whatever item you're interested in. Well, for the most part -- Rock Band DLC, for instance, still ranges between 160-440 Microsoft Points, so there are still situations where you're likely to end up with an annoying number of leftover points anyway. Nothing's ever perfect.

I MUST HAVE ONE UNDER MY CHRISTMAS TREE!!!
I don't know about you but this is one action figure I MUST have! I know I have passed the point where it is ok to play with action figures but this one is just too AWESOME! I mean who wouldn't want a serial killer of their own. And for the record no, I am not one of those people who has a series of box-wrapped action figures lining their walls as an adult…not that there’s anything wrong with that…I just really think this is awesome, and I would definitely be unboxing it and having it murdering my old X-Men action figures in no time.”These are all the people you’ve hurt Magneto, LOOK AT THEM!
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Detailed by Ubisoft
Ubisoft formally announced Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood today, promising a 15 hour single-player campaign on top of a new multiplayer mode. 
According to a fact sheet released this morning, the single-player mode sees Ezio return as a Master Assassin in "the living, breathing, unpredictable city of Rome," and is estimated to last 15 hours. The brand new multiplayer mode allows players to "choose from multiple authentic character classes, each with their own signature weapons and killing moves." The game will ship during the Holiday season in Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC flavors. While development is lead by Assassin’s Creed studio Ubisoft Montreal, several other internal Ubisoft studios are contributing to the title, including the Annecy office, which developed the multiplayer in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. The official announcement is available from Ubisoft.

This the best hoodie EVER! Guess Why?
If you walked down the street in this hoodie alot of people would not get the reference. But I assure you the ones that do will think that you are AWESOME. It's best to rock this look with the hood up for full effect. It's a Mega Man Hoodie PEOPLE!! However, that does not mean I don’t want one, because it is crazy awesome, but sadly its only a concept piece from somone at, you guessed it, DeviantArt. I seriously think that DeviantArt should open up brick and mortar stores filled with poster prints from the best artists and statues and clothing crafted by its members. It would defeinitely be a huge hit and they can thank me later when they do it and I’m totally right.
