UncategorizedFairytale Fights “Porn” Video Is Actually Safe For Work
I’m not sure what I was expecting when I heard three porn stars shot a promo video for Fairytale Fights. It definitely wasn’t this, though… Spotted on Machinima’s YouTube feed, this PG-rated commercial for the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 game features a whopping nine seconds of actual gameplay footage to about 30 seconds of “acting” from…

Sony’s Magic Wand Shouldn’t Look Like A Sex Toy
A tipster pointed out some fan-made concepts of Sony’s Magic Wand motion controller. Nothing to write home about — but it looks so much like a sex toy, I had to share the lol. Just to be clear: this is not an official concept of the Magic Wand. We even checked with Sony to be…

The Tester Looking For Host?
Sony’s PSN reality show, The Tester, has gamers compete for a “gamer’s ultimate dream job” — no, not running one of the major platform holders as they seem fit, but as a QA tester. Yeah. The eight episode show will be produced by the folks behind The Surreal Life, Flavor of Love and Rock of…

Where Do NBA Players Play Video Games?
At home, sure. In the hotel, of course. Maybe even the locker room. Los Angeles Lakers’s Kobe Bryant says that’s not all. “All the guys will play on the plane actually,” he tells USA Today. “Travel with a flat screen and hook up the console. It gets pretty competitive.” But… Is a flat screen a…

Bayonetta’s “Perfect” Famitsu Score – There’s A Catch
PlatinumGames’ sexy shoot ‘n’ kick fest Bayonetta made headlines earlier today for securing a “perfect” 40 out of 40 score from the editors of Japan’s Famitsu magazine. That’s kind of a big deal. But there’s a footnote worth mentioning. See, those “perfect” Famitsu scores are generally granted very infrequently—although that frequency has definitely increased over…

This Need for Speed: Nitro Trailer is very likely the closest I’ll ever get to Rio de Janeiro — and as virtual tourism goes, it doesn’t look half-bad. NFS: Nitro ships November 3, two whole weeks ahead of schedule and with a heck of a lot of fancy cars. If the Wii is where you…

The Beatles: Rock Band Abbey Road Trailer Just Sold Me
And it didn’t take much, to be honest, as The Beatles: Rock Band footage looks pretty good with whatever Beatles song is put before it. The remaining tracks from "Abbey Road" are available to download as of this week. Maybe it has something to do with Ringo’s moustache. Or maybe it’s the option to play…
