I haven't played a real live arcade game in quite sometime, so it was with utter astonishment when I saw a Guitar Hero sign indicating that there was an arcade on display in Menlo Park Mall, New Jersey. I had to just race upstairs to see it in person. There it was in all its Guitar Hero glory outfitted with two guitars for two player action and a big Guitar Hero logo displayed on top of it. Honestly I was surprised both guitars where intact. I was almost tempted to pick up the plastic axe when I got sticker shock. It costs $2 for each player or $3 each for premium mode.  Can you imagine?  What

Well Beyonce wants all the single ladies to get in shape so that your man can put a ring on it. Beyonce would like to create a game that adds a little more performance and dance into your video game workout routine. Being that she is a big fan of Nintendo Wii Fit and has already done commercials for the Nintendo DS, we are sure that Nintendo will have no problem giving Beyonce her own version of a boot-y camp on your Wii. Jenny McCarthy and the Biggest Loser's Jillian Michaels already have ones in the works and Beyonce feels she can probably whip

The MP5 Player Digital Camera NES Games FM Radio SD Slot - 8 GB is a device with an awful name but very familiar icons. It has no real description so I'll basically piecemeal this together…The 3.5" MP5 player with digital camera and SD slot supports NES and Game Boy games, so it's like having an emulator on the go. It also features playback for various MP3 and movie formats for instance AVI, WMV, or WMA. It comes in the colors Black / Yellow / Pink / Blue / Grey and supports many different languages. On top of all that, it sports icons that look very familiar to the iPhone. MP5 Player Digital Camera NES Games FM Radio SD Slot - 8 GB retails for $75.

It seems that there are just unlimited possibilities for pimping out Star Wars merch and this latest accessory might just end up being a best seller. The Darth Vader Nintendo Wii Sensor Bar Holder features a specifically made Lightsaber that supports the Wii Sensor Bar.

Well I guess it was only a matter of time before ColorWare put their mark on the PS3 Slim. I mean they colorized the original PS3 before it, so it only made sense to attempt to do it again. They have pulled out all the stops to not only colorize the console but the controller as well.  You can customize the color of the PS3 logo, the top of the console, or the bottom. Basically you can turn your PS3 Slim into a technicolor dreamcoat if you wanted. ColorWare would have it no other way. Once colorized, everything is high-gloss and scratch resistant. It's better than a paint ...

Based on the original Bionic Commando from Nintendo, Capcom decided to bring it back and give it a whirl with updated graphics and game play. Well they should have left it alone. The story starts with Nathan Spencer, the Bionic Commando being brought back into action by the same force that imprisoned him after he led the bionic commandos to victory 10 years earlier. The game is pretty mediocre at best. The pace of the game is pretty steady and fast. The best part was the awesome one liners when you killed someone such as "Kick A$$ or "I Would hate to be that guy", very amusing for a horrible game. The worst is the extra long tutorial they put in which is helpful but very drawn out.
