Location, location, location. Capcom President Haruhiro Tsujimoto said that this financial year the company was going to close three Japanese arcades and open eight more in areas that would attract more women and families, instead of the traditional male demographic. Tsujimoto added: More »

This weekend marked the first ever Iron-Man Gaming Competition presented by Video Gamers League and creators Handsome Tom and Stuttering Craig of ScrewAttack.comin Dallas, Texas. Eighty contestants competed in six different games (Sonic the Hedgehog, Pac-Man: Championship Edition, Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting, Madden '08, Dead or Alive 4 and Halo 2) over three days, but ultimately only one would reign supreme as the Iron-Man of Gaming. The big winner was Chris "Kumachine" Delp who took home the massive Iron-Man belt and a thousand dollars cash and dedicated the victory to his hometown of New Orleans and the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Second place was taken by Louis "Big Lou" Hughes who took home a slightly less exciting prize; a women's tennis championship trophy wrapped in a broken third party PlayStation controller. Stay tuned for details on the next Iron-man of Gaming Competition coming next year. More »

Sure, they're all good at doing whatever it is that they do, but come on, top ninja? You can see them! Top be a top ninja you have to start your training early, slipping out of your mother's womb in the dead of night to avoid being detected by the doctor's special "look at the baby in your tummy" device. Amateurs. More »

ScrewAttack.com founders and video moguls Handsome Tom and Stuttering Craig are spreading their wings and joining up with Video Gamers League to present The Iron-Man of Gaming Tournament. The competition will take place during the Summer 2007 CPL Championships which happens Thursday, August 30 to Sunday, September 2, 2007 (Labor Day Weekend) at the Hilton Anatole hotel in Dallas, Texas. Craig and Tom's take on gaming tournaments is a little different from the usual in that players will compete in a variety of games rather than just one. More »

Back in the day, there used to be two fighting games for every boy, making the ratio of sucky ones to good ones quite high. Screw Attack's Top 10 Worst Fighting Games covers them all including ones I've tried long and hard to forget. Thanks for bringing back the memories, guys. Kim Phu More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=268482&view=rss&microfeed=true The wags at ScrewAttack have a new video out chronicling the Ten Biggest Douchebags of Gaming. Wario is there as is my arch nemesis, the Burger King, but not all the douches are digital. Our favorite lawyer friend (who shall not be named lest he arive in a puff of sulfurous smoke) makes an appearance as well. Who's at number one? It might not be who you think, but I'll say it's a classic character who isn't human. Any guesses? Flynn De Marco More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=265499&view=rss&microfeed=true Screw Attack's Handsome Tom and Stuttering Craig, the kings of the top ten list, are back with a look at the best and worst gaming periopherals. The list is split in two this time with the first half devoted to the worst and the second half, the five best. Entries in to the worst category include Rob the Robot and the Power glove while the best list is filled with such goodies as the Guitar Hero controller and that highly suspicious, girl friendly peripheral, the Trance Vibrator.

What's makes Ecco's franchise demise sadder is developer Appaloosa's follow up, the godawful Jaws Unleashed. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=255375&view=rss&microfeed=true Just because a game has "Super" in the title doesn't make it a super game. Screw Attack's handsome Tom and Stuttering Craig examine this phenomenon in their latest video, Top 10 "Super" Games. As they point out, the Super Nintendo was extremely fond of adding "super" into the title of a lot of their games. The list is rather staggering actually and I'm impressed the boys were able to narrow it down to just ten. Hopefully, they will follow this one up with a "Top 10 Worst Super Games" list. As much as I love watching clips from great games, I get much more satisfaction out of laughing and pointing at them. Flynn De Marco More »

I love ScrewAttack. They never cease to amaze, horrify and otherwise entertain me with their collection of some of the best fan based game videos from around the country. The Angry Nintendo Nerd, GameJew and Chet and Ace's Awesome Video Games Show are all part of the ScrewAttack stable of loveable oddballs headed up by impresarios Stuttering Craig and Handsome Tom.

Love him or hate him, you have to admire his ability to come out with a seemingly endless stream of expletives without missing a beat. More »

He created the Mario Opera, traveled to Africa and even serenaded Nintendo Exec George Harrison at the Wii launch. And that's just scratching the surface of the traveling troubadour's quickly expanding career. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=220694&view=rss&microfeed=true Everyone's favorite foul mouthed gamer, The Angry Nintendo Nerd, gives us his colorful interpretation of the early console wars in his latest video offering. His innovative puppeteering methods are really the hilight of the show and I think he must have trained with Jim Henson. He takes us from the Atari 2600 all the way to Nintendo 64 giving each system it's own distinct personality. Kermit the Frog, eat your heart out. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=217153&view=rss&microfeed=true ScrewAttack's Craig just shot me their latest top ten list: The worst ways to die. The list includes classics like Battle Toads and Cubivore and even points out that Burger Time has some post death tea-bagging by those viscious hot dogs. While the list decides that having a sword slammed through your head after you see it coming is the worst way to die, I'd have to disagree. Back when I was a police reporter, I once covered a man being crushed to death by stack of marble floor slabs. These stacked slabs were each the size of a nice-sized room and quite think. The occupational safety inspector later told me there was no space between the slabs when they found the poor guy. Brian Crecente More »

If I understand correctly the endless phonemical repetitions spraying with spittle from his rubber-lipped word hole, Stuttering Craig over at Screw Attack wants me to call your attention to their newest series, Awesome Video Games. And I will, fully admitting my own lack of tolerance for doofuses — no matter how ironically portrayed — screaming in close-up into the camera for five minutes straight about the amazing megahertzal might of the NES.

At first glance, I mistook these pics for shots of something John Madden was having delivered to his warehouse. Were these thousands upon thousands of aerosol cans of itch relieving Tinactin? Tons and tons of savory Lunchables for John to snack upon while travelling on the Madden Bus? The shipment of crisp twenty dollar bills to pay off the exclusive NFL license? More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=195367&view=rss&microfeed=true Unless the actual audition was the process of grossly irritating all these people, this may be the most stomach-churningly awkward example of Gamer Girl Syndrome I have ever seen. From the stumbling opening dialogue in which the more angular of the two Screwattack hosts refers to the contestants as "sexy bitches" with a straight face, to the barely-concealed vitriol spewing from the loser's mouth as she stiffly drapes her GAP-adorned appendages over some painfully hyukking teenager, this video is guaranteed to make you nearly as uncomfortable as "Ivy"'s victims.
