    A guy is claiming that he and a pal were practicing the Tomoe Nage move on the long jump track at his school. The move, made popular in the latest Splinter Cell game, involved one guy lying on his back and then hurling his friend over his head, with the use of his legs, like a human missle.

    Nintendogs the Second Coming

    electric slide.jpgNintendogs is an official phenomenon in Japan. The game just launched over there and one analyst is estimating that the combined sales of the three versions is already nearly 200,000 copies. Famitsu decided to have four reviewers look at the game, all of which scored it a perfect 10. I hear the game can also cure syphilis, so that's really can to tap into the whole so-far-unexplored VD market. Maybe I should have tacked a copy of this game on to my order of Electroplankton, boogie-woogie-woogie. Though the order is still floating around somewhere near the Sea of Japan.

    Guild Wars: A Beautiful World of Mirrors

    I spent far too long playing Guild Wars last night. My right eye is throbbing like someone hit it with a hammer, and I'm desperately behind on my posts. The upside is that I now have a pretty good sense of the game's basics. More »
