“Gamers have just got to quiet down. Gamers have no credibility in this argument.” The guy who said those words has eaten them, via Twitter.

Let’s Rank the Pokémon Games, Best to Worst
We did it with Halo, Grand Theft Auto, and Final Fantasy, and now we’re back at it again to rank the Pokémon series. The Pokémon world is an enormous one, one that spans over 20 core titles (mostly with slight variations) and countless other side stories (30 by my count), but for newcomers into the…

This Week’s Android Charts: A Temple Run Triple Play
It’s all Temple Run, all the time in this week’s Android charts, as the launch of the smash-hit sequel brings all three games in the franchise into the spotlight.

Nintendo Sells Three Million Wii U Systems, But Expects To Take A Hit
Nintendo sold just over three million Wii U systems worldwide from the system’s November launch through to the end of December, with over 1.3 million of them selling in America.

After 35 Years, Star Wars Action Figures Might Actually Be Growing Up
For such a massive series, the standard Star Wars action figures have never exactly set the world on fire. The originals had a range of movement last seen at the Nuremberg Rally, and subsequent ones haven’t improved much. For 2013, though—and perhaps spurred on by Star Wars‘ fresh ownership—Hasbro has pulled out all the stops,…

Weirdly, This is Probably A Behind-The-Scenes Video Of A Planned Prince Of Persia Reboot
Bizarrely, within the same 24-hour period that Ubisoft says the Prince of Persia series is “paused”, footage has emerged of a project that sure seems like a Prince of Persia reboot. You’ve seen it before, back in August, but this production video says that the project’s name is Osiris, adding to suspicions the game—whatever it…

One Of The World’s Greatest Actors Hated Working With George Lucas
Terence Stamp is one of our age’s great actors. The guy has been everyone from Dracula to General Zod, and been in everything from Young Guns to Halo 3 (he was the Prophet of Truth). One of his most notable roles in recent decades, though, was as Supreme Chancellor Valorum in Star Wars: Episode I.…

It’s Tough Feeling Bad About These Awesome Diablo III Figures
Diablo III statues too expensive? Build your own. That’s what Samo Kramberger has done, crafting three custom pieces based on Diablo III’s barbarian, monk and demon hunter. The detail on the barbarian’s outfit and accessories is amazing, even if his face is a little upsetting. The demon hunter and monk, though, are just about perfect.…

Yep, It’s A Slingshot That Shoots Chainsaws
Sound like something that you’d only see in a video game? Well, thanks to the maniac YouTube weaponcrafter Joreg Sprave, it’s also something that exists in real life. Granted, it’s a javelin with a very small chainsaw on the end, but I don’t think that distinction would matter if you caught one of these suckers…

SimCity’s Expensive Version Is $80, But…
Normally, the deluxe edition of a game withholds a few things, but EA seem to be going all-out with SimCity, throwing so much extra junk at the more expensive version (it’s $20 more than the regular) that they’re basically saying “you are scum for buying the normal version and your friends will view you accordingly”.…
