There was the Super Mario Wall Graphics for your room last year, now there is the Donkey Kong version. Basically these are the same concept, they are movable and reusable decals based on the same 8-bit graphics from the classic NES version of the game. The package includes three 26” x 40” sheets of decals with 42 decals per package. So go ahead and get crazy and even as a decal, I bet Jumpman (Mario) still won't catch Donkey Kong. The Donkey Kong Wall Graphics retail for $74.99.
If you like killing zombies in the morning, afternoon and even at night, then Capcom has done a great job of that in Resident Evil 5. The latest installment in a series of horror survival games has been brought to a new level of play. Capcom and has gone and transformed this usual single player game into a co-op zombie killers dream. Coming back for another round is Chris Redfield and joining him this time is Sheva Alomar. Sheva is the co-op player throughout the game. She is able to heal you and switch ammo, which makes the game far more interesting.
Chris and Sheva find themselves in war-torn Kijuju Africa which seems like it is run with mercenaries. With this area comes lots of struggle since no one is to be trusted but the Delta team, an elite team that helps guide Chris and Sheva at certain points during their missions. Chris and Sheva are on the hunt for bio-terriorist Ricardo Irving who is selling viruses on the black market and it is safe to say, they are not for curing anything. As Chris and Sheva push on they go up against infected mercenaries turned zombies and many super zombies that Ricardo has infected and sent out to destroy Chris and Sheva, this is on top of them trying to stop Ricardo from selling his evil viruses.

The other side is the ' greens' or the baddies which make up Bowser and all the usual suppects and Koopa Shells make up the pawns on this side of the board. Whichever side you choose you are bound to have tons of fun with ...

It's about time someone made something to store your Rock Band gear in.

It offers enough space to store 2 guitars, a foot pedal, and microphone. The cool factor is that there is a built-in AK Drum lift that raises and lowers both Rock Band and Rock Band 2 drum kits. So in the end you would be playing your drums out of an Ottoman....maybe not cool enough for hard core gamers but ...
I love my Xbox 360 and PS3 but I've been a pretty avid PC gamer since the late 80s. I never thought that a console would replace my desire to play PC games - and it never has. However, I think PC gaming really is finally on the way to its coffin. Why do I think that? Not because of the console wars but because I cant find a physical brick and mortar store that sells PC games anymore!
My local Game Stop used to stock a section with PC Games, over the years the section has gotten smaller and smaller, and now it has disappeared altogether. I was shocked and horrified when I first discovered this. But I consoled myself that I could always head over to J & R, an electronics retailer in lower NYC that has always had a big PC gaming section. So low and behold I was shocked once again to discover that their PC gaming section had shrunk to a minuscule size.

All the modifications for the drums are pretty cheap starting at $9.99 and up, and they may just put a step back into that ...
The HexoLight 3000 Sound Activated LED Lighting System is the perfect compliment for any hardcore Guitar Hero enthusiast because who doesn't love a good lightshow when playing plastic instruments? This lighting system takes the game to new levels with its pulsating colors that pulsate to the beat of the music from the game. It comes with 3 pods of color: red, yellow, and blue lights in an octagonal shape. You can customize different shapes and configurations, the threshold of the sound, and you can control the speed of the flash. The best part is when the drums and guitars are put away, the HexoLight 3000 will work with your ...
Gaming is hazardous to your health it seems - no, this is not another complaint from Jack Thompson, this time it's comes from the British Journal of Dermatology. 'Playstation Palmar hidradenitis' is a new disease dubbed by researchers after a 12 year old girl came into a Swiss hospital complaining about painful sores in the palm of her hands. "Doctors who examined her at the Geneva University Hospital concluded she had a condition known as 'idiopathic eccrine hidradenitis', a skin disorder that generally causes red, sore lumps on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet." After pausing on the gameplay for 10 days she fully ...
Want to play Guitar Hero on a budget? Well your in luck with Jam Legend. It's a Guitar Hero like game that uses the numeric pad on your keyboard to play along to music tracks, and its free! You can jam away by yourself or with others on the internet. It may seem like this type of gameplay is for babies, but after trying out a few sessions we can testify that it isn't as easy as it looks. Jam Legend even offers a decent playlist, but mostly it is comprised of songs that aren't very popular.

If you looking to add a new keychain to your collection, might I suggest the Super Mario Light Mascot? Not only are they adorable and feature characters (good and bad) from the famous Nintendo game, each one is about 5cm in height and when you slide the switch under the brick it becomes lit. It won't be bright enough to replace a flashlight but will certainly add personality to these ever adorable mascots. Each Light Mascot costs $3.99.
We're really excited for Godfather II. For those of you who like GTA-like gameplay combined with strategy thinking, the Godfather II is going to win you over, capisce?

So we had the gaming chair - now we have the gaming mat, the Zerk Checkerboard Game Terrain Video Gaming Mat. Say that fast three times. It really doesn't do anything and actually should have just been called checkerboard carpet. It can hold several players and is moisture proof for those sweat inducing levels.
If you don't want to play games at the moment, it can be used as an exercise mat too. It retails for $229.98 for the checkerboard design or $189.98 for a solid color.
We got a chance to spend a little time yesterday with the latest installment of Resident Evil 5 from Capcom. Many will assume its the same thing all over again. Just another polished up release that features better graphics and more zombies to kill. However you would be wrong. Yes the basics are all there, kill the zombies save the world. However the graphics are extremely over the top and lifelike that I got nauseous at some points how realistic it looked. A nice touch for diehard Resident Evil fans will be the return of Chris Redfield from the very first game. He is buffed up to the extreme ...

Just in time to add to my dellusions of being a bonafide rock star is Peavey's real wood custom-made guitar controllers for Guitar Hero. The hardcore design of the body is sure to distract from the crayola colored Guitar Hero buttons. The strum bar and whammy bar are mounted to the basswood body.

All that idiosyncracy comes with a Kingly price of $399.99. Available online at Peavey.
