Internet standard-issue clothing dispensary Threadless has struck a deal with Microsoft which will see some of the outlet’s shirts made available for its Xbox avatars. Those wondering how the shirt’s creators are thanked (seeing as Threadless is a user-created content site), they’re credited in each item’s description on Xbox.com. I’ve pinged Threadless to see if…
Do you like playing Zynga’s Facebook games? There’s something wrong with you. Not because you enjoy them, what you do in your spare time is your business.

It’s…it’s like a dream come true. Master craftsman Ben Heck has built this custom Xbox 360 controller which contains a rather useful add-on: a hot pocket dispenser.

Tiny Tower is one of the cutest and most successful iPhone games around. So, naturally, someone is shamelessly ripping it off. Only, the company doing the ripping off isn’t some shady Chinese or Russian company. It’s social gaming powerhouse Zynga. Zynga’s new game Dream Heights isn’t a homage to NimbleBit’s game. It’s almost a clone,…
When LEGO’s Lord of the Rings sets were first announced, we only got a look at what Frodo and Aragorn would look like as the company’s iconic minifigs. Now we’ve got a much better look! The UK Toy Fair has kicked off this week and it’s there this photo of the entire Fellowship was snapped.…
Cock’in. For the Commodore 64 and Spectrum. You take the eggs, and then the fish bites you on the elbow, and then you wear chicken hats, and what? Oh, that’s just the box art. The actual game had you playing as a cock, protecting your brood of eggs from things like rats and foxes, and…

Bizarrely, the imprisoned founder of file-sharing site Megaupload – Kim Dotcom, formerly Kim Schmitz—was also until this week the world’s number one Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 gamer on Xbox Live. A week in the slammer will do things to your top ranking, though, and while he’s been cooling off in a New Zealand…
