The Space Invaders alien shows you where to dump on a public toilet in Germany. Don't they also have houseflies stamped on the urinals to direct your aim? Seen by reader Thorsten W. More »

Who said economic times are tough? Not the makers of this Mario pendant, who somehow feel that a global recession is just the right time to be launching a diamond-encrusted Mario pendant worth around $11,000. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5152827&view=rss&microfeed=true Kwari is a 'free' PC game where you put down money to buy ammo and then lose or gain money based on your performance in FPS battles. As I've mentioned in the past, this sounds unbelievably dangerous for the ultra-competitive FPS gamers out there. Luckily for them, this advertorial video for the game which walks you through the five steps of Kwari success is so utterly terrible that it could very well do more harm than good. After watching this I have absolutely no desire to play this game whatsoever. Nada. Cute hamster though. More »

Yup, these are the MapleStory anime designs. No, really. They look like anything BUT the cute characters that populate the Korean MMORPG. Not as though we were counting the days down until it airs this October on TV Tokyo, but this cartoon must be a cruel joke! Who is creating this garbage! Seriously!! More »

Hushed Casket has a great piece up about all of the issues with Games for Windows Live. The service, I think many of us thought, was meant to be as robust and easy to use as the 360 version of Live, but instead it's just sort of an awkward appendage. More »

Dark and Light, the MMO game tied for the lowest user rating in MMORPG.com history, has announced that their crappy game is now free to play...kinda. It is really convoluted, but I will try to clear it up here. Right now you can go to their website, download the game, and play for free up to level 10. After level 10 you can continue playing forever, but you won't gain experience until you purchase a game key for $30. After that you can progress all the way to level 100, but in order to be able to use certain equipment or learn trade skills you have to purchase a recurring subscription or buy game credits, which can be used to activate equipment.

Finally downloaded Lumines Live!, and it was pretty much like the version on my PSP, but bigger. Thing is, the game on my UMD is a full game, not a crippled download—this all, ironically, has given the PSP and UMD the best press it has had in months! More »

Lucas Arts really needs to do something about Legos Star Wars II for the Nintendo DS. I love the Xbox 360 and Playstation Portable versions, but the DS version just plain sucks. More »

Gizmodo pointed out that GameExpert has come out with a "Portable Home Theater" for the Playstation Portable. Apparently, the difference between a portable home theater and a docking station is four blue LED's, the sole purpose of which appears to be adding blue-tinged glare to your PSP while watching movies.

For the man who collects everything, yes even arcade-themed crap: The Pac-Man Motion Light. The idea behind this ugly thing appears to be that a motor spins an inner tube of images and such around inside an outer tube that depicts a Pac-Man screen. The end result is Pac-Man and ghosts frozen on a shimmering sea of dots. Hmmm, sounds kinda crappy. Brian Crecente More »

UK developers Codemasters are stinking it up with Turds, a fecal fetish game site. It features famous titles like Donkey Kong based around one universal permise: doo-doo. More fecal flash mini-games like Dungbeetle Rally and Poobert are scheduled for next month. Thank Wired's Chris Kohler for pointing out this crap. More »

It looks like Capcom will be shipping little Cellphone strap-enabled weapons with Basara 2 (the sequel to Devil Kings). If you preorder the game in Japan you get one of five weapons that you can attach to you cellphone via a dinky strap. No word if people outside of the Island nation will get this completly useless promo item. Personally, I want to load all five of them up on my Treo. I can't wait to whack myself in the face with a bunch of tiny daggers and staves everytime I answer my phone. That should make for some interesting emergency room visits. —Brian Crecente More »

Why Hollywood feels it necessary to recreate The Hills Have Eyes is beyond me, but I suppose it is inevitable. The website to promote the movie has a flash game that delivers the sort of sub par, flat experience I fully expect the movie to bask in. Check it out if you want a taste of what the movie has in store for you: no plot and endless roaming through darkened tunnels punctuated by the occasional scare. More »

Namco is working on two Dilbert games for the mobile phone. As much as I know that mobile games have improved leaps and bounds, these still sound like they are going to suck. For some reason, any Dilbert game sounds like it would suck. I think it's because I made the mistake of watching the TV show when it was on. It scarred my psyche. The games are supposed to hit this fall, for those of you who have faith in Namco Networks ... and didn't suffer through the show. More »
