Ps 3
Flash site says: "It's as natural as holding a steering wheel." Well, if I wanna hold a steering wheel, I'll get in a car. I want to hold a normal Sony controller. I can't be the only one alone on this, can I?

Seriously, why is garbage like
this seeing the light of day? No, not the AP piece itself, but the story of video game critics taking aim at cannibalism in gaming. Apparently gorging on some player-character or NPC's flesh in a game now really chaps the

We
mentioned that the DFC looked at Nintendo's WiFi in their latest report, and their review of it was pretty positive. Similar to what they said about Xbox Live and the 360's Marketplace, DFC champions the ease of use for the DS. I can attest to its ease, having hooked it up in my own

No, it's not too soon to make light of the 360's overheating issues. So a t-shirt maker already did. I am embarassed to say, however, when I think of the shirt's slogan "Cool It Down," the only thing I hear in my head is New Edition singing "Cool It, Now."

Is this guy, Lord Recluse. Even though I don't play
CoV, seeing MMO uber bosses is still pretty exciting, especially when you consider the work the playerbase puts in to the games. Couple more pics after the jump.
