The Nintendo Short Cuts Showcase contest is entering the home stretch, and they've narrowed everything down to 10 entries, almost all of which are amazingly bad. Seriously, I hope this once and for all proves to gaming companies that the gaming community is not the hidden well of producing / directing / acting talent they think it to be.

At the website below you can view all ten of the final entries in the contest, from a slightly passable Twilight Zone spoof to a mildly amusing guy in a Link costume complete with game interface overlay. Honestly not sure any should win, per se. You can vote for your favorite, but they've already got 'industry experts' on the case to determine who wins the grand prize. I do not envy them. Go take a look for yourself, but it is *not* a pretty sight. Michael Fahey
