What is it with gamer girls sewing gifts for their guys? Sounds like arts-and-crafts meets Stockholm syndrome. Reader Alex K's sis-in-law crocheted these adorable Left 4 Dead guys as a token of her (alienated) affection. More »Four New Screens for Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings
Ordinarily I'd look at these Wii screenshots and think, it doesn't look like much (get those spiders!) but it'll probably look great on the core consoles. Then I remember it's not being made for them. More »Now, the Periodic Table of Controllers
