A Long Way from Friends, New Alone in The Dark Teaser.

What do you get when you mix the unknown, the most visited urban park in the United States, and near perfect shooting accuracy? Aside from one hell of a movie, you get the latest Alone in The Dark teaser trailer by Atari Interactive and Eden Games.
Is Central Park really for the people?
The latest teaser asks […]

More like Counting Calories, amirite?

Hey, guys! Today, June 11th, is Sarcastic Gamer’s first birthday. To commemorate this, Jeromy “Doc” Adams (How You Killed Your Brand, Ring of Fire, Hey Mr. Thompson) has released a new parody music video based on Nintendo’s latest innovative peripheral, Wii Fit. The “Wii Fat Song” is a parody of The Counting Crows’ […]

Japanese People Love Being In Shape!

Nintendo announced this week that the Wii Fit has shipped a million units a little over a month since its release. Will the results be the same over here in Fat Country? I guess since video games are partly responsible for children’s obesity, the line of thinking is correct. “Here lazy child, play this […]

Wii Lives Up To Its Name

It probably looked something like this.
IGN posted a funny story today that I thought I’d share. Actually, it was just an excuse to make one of those annoying ‘Calvin pees on something’ pictures, but it’s funny regardless.
From IGN:
UK, January 3, 2008 - Everyone’s favourite piece of London flotsam - free commuter […]

I Hate 9-Year-Olds.

Okay, so I know I’ve posted my fair share of Guitar Hero III stuff (and Dragonforce in particular, those bastards), but I couldn’t resist this one. Above is a 9-year-old who most likely doesn’t have any friends. Not because he plays Guitar Hero III, but because accomplishing what he does requires that you sit […]

Nintendo Kills Time AND Space.

Greenpeace has released a ‘Guide to Greener Electronics‘ List, ranking the top manufacturers based on their policies on toxic chemicals and recycling. And guess who ended up in DEAD last? Family-friendly Nintendo!! How bad did they do? Here’s a brief snippet from Greenpeace:
Nintendo - New to the guide - first global […]

Do The Mario!

With the release of Super Mario Galaxy this week, I thought I’d put up my favorite Mario video ever. These are the closing credits from the Super Mario Brothers Super Show back in ‘89, which featured live action segments with Capt. Lou Albano as Mario. The best part of this video is at the […]

DragonForce: A Video Game Paradox

According to Wired Magazine’s Blog, the band DragonForce’s music sales have increased 183% over the past week due to the inclusion of “Through the Fire and Flames” on Guitar Hero III. Now, there’s something incredibly strange about this, because after massacring the song during an online faceoff a few days ago, I realized I […]

Official Super Mario Galaxy US Trailer

Nintendo has finally released the official trailer for Super Mario Galaxy - complete with random shots of people playing the game in their living room, showing us all how much fun they’re having. I’m just glad to finally see a game worth buying that isn’t another collection of party games.

Have Your Wii Cake And Eat It Too

If there’s one thing I think gamers can all agree on, it’s that we love video game themed cakes. The problem with a lot of the cakes you see though, is that they aren’t actually edible. Cake designers use all sorts of weird things to get their frosting to stay in place, and […]

Sonic Joins the Smash Brawl!

I was starting to think Nintendo was running out of characters to fit into Smash Bros. Brawl. Then I saw this video.

Now, as bad ass as they try to make Sonic in this video, any and all coolness is lost in the decision to make him sound like Fry from Futurama.

Share and Enjoy:
These […]

Guitar Hero III: Good F*ckin’ Luck!

There’s a run through of a new song on Guitar Hero III that will make most people want to pack up their plastic guitars and cry in a corner somewhere. The song is called “Through the Fire and Flames” (which automatically makes it the best song ever) and it is pure GH insanity. Wrap your […]

Nerds Rejoice! Wii Lightsaber!

Now you can finally swing around a lightsaber in your house and not be afraid that someone will see you!
Wii Lightsaber This Autumn
LucasArts hints Star Wars fans’ motion control dreams set to come true this year.

UK, June 28, 2007 - When the Wii’s motion-sensing controller was first revealed, everyone pondered […]

More on Manhunt…

Manhunt 2 is one of those games that, regardless its quality, makes for a great discussion. The fear is that releasing too many of these torturous games will eventually lead to regulation and censorship of all games.
It really comes down to whether you think video games are a form of art, or something different. As […]

Manhunt 2 banned in England; ESRB bestows AO rating in US

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. Because of its violent content and (ostensibly) its Wii-specific interactivity, Manhunt 2 has been banned in England. Hot on the heels of this decision, the ERSB slapped the game with an AO rating here in the States.
In a statement released to the press, Rockstar said:
We are […]
