Old-Wizard.com (should even I know about this site? I don't!) listed their 5 worst video game related sites of all time.
Thank goodness we didn't make the list!
'GTA IV' is losing it's 10-point sheen?
11:12 AM, May 5, 2008
Besides the non-shop complaints about the in-game freezes, now the 'GTA IV' glitches are appearing on YouTube. I know there are problems with every game, but weren't similar problems the reason everyone bagged on 'Vice City?'
Here are some awesome glitches (there may be some language, so be warned before you click):

Car dealer uses Wii for cash back promotion
10:24 AM, April 14, 2008
I saw this on Kotaku... it made me giggle.
I think the dealer would have a better response giving away Wii's with each car!
Oh well...

Xbox cheater comes clean on MTV.com
8:11 PM, March 31, 2008
MTV.com has a brief interview with one of the cheaters that was busted in Microsoft's new cheat-tastic crackdown.
It's a pretty pitiful confession and I have no sympathy for him, other cheaters, pirates or haxors. Especially haxors.

This is good for a chuckle.
Crave, part of CNET UK, put together a list of the 30 dumbest video game titles ever.
Some had me crying laughing; and I swear I own a few of these.

Xbox goes crazy on cheaters!
7:38 PM, March 26, 2008
Major Nelson points out on his blog that Xbox is getting serious about cheaters on the 360.
Gamers that have been tampering with their Gamerscore and Achievement points can expect this:
• Resetting the entire Gamerscore for an account to zero
• The account will be unable to regain all previously obtained achievements and Gamerscore, however, the players will have the ability to gain future Achievements by earning them fairly, like the majority of the Xbox LIVE community does.
• The account will be clearly labeled as a cheater for the community to view on xbox.com. You can see an example here. In dash, the personal view of the gamercard will be labeled as well.
WOW! That's awesome.
PS: I'm not a cheater or a haxor. I just checked, my Achievement points are still there and still low.

Quite possibly the most "MUST WATCH" clip, ever.
1:14 AM, January 17, 2008
Kotaku posted this clip today and I nearly choked to death from laughter.
I thought this game was a joke... a clever machinima movie.
Then, I found out it's an actual game, called 'Zoo Race,' made by actual good-guy developers whose purpose is to make fun games free of violence and nastiness. The game's inventiveness should become legendary.
From what I can tell, you play a human that turns into an animal and challenges other morphed humans to a race. The race begins normal enough... the animals race though a dirt course then strangely jump into a lake... they swim into what looks like a a theme park log ride... eventually the animals leave the water and climb ladders into waiting cannons (!!!??)... the animals are launched from the cannons and into a building with a skull capped doorway... the animals descend through an amusement park type haunted house ride complete with fire, balloons, a playground merry-go-round and signs warning of dangerous hydrogen... ultimately, everyone ends up in a subterranean disco. I'm serious, it's a disco. And the animals dance with each other.
Then, the animals make their way out of this weird underworld by hopping on board a freight train which busts through some rocks and takes the racers to a launch pad with multiple intercontinental ballistic missiles... each animal hops on their designated rocket and flies to the finish line.
I'm mad that I don't have an imagination like this. Watch the video. You can't even begin to comprehend this:
There is a site for the game... visit it here.

Family report card shows the 10 games your children need to avoid
11:06 AM, December 6, 2007
MediaFamily.org posted their annual report card on the video game industry. You can download your own copy HERE.
Besides giving a "C" letter-grade to parental involvement with gaming, a "C-" average to retailers' enforcing of the game rating system (national retailers got a "D" and rental stores got an "F"), a "C" to the game industry as a whole, the group also pointed out the 10 most avoidable games for children and teens.
Let's take a look at the list:
• Assassin’s Creed
• Call of Duty 4
• Conan
• The Darkness
• Jericho
• Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
• Manhunt 2
• Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
• Stranglehold
• Time Shift
Doug's opinion of a glaring omission: 'Soldier of Fortune: Payback.' And what's up with 'Conan?' Did anyone even play that game?
So what are better alternatives that the report card suggests?
These:
• FIFA Soccer 08
• Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
• Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour
• Madden NFL 08
• Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games
• Need for Speed Pro Street
• The Sims 2: Castaway
• Super Mario Bros. 3
• Super Mario Galaxy
• Viva Piñata
Ewww, 'Hannah Montana'? That's way scarier than 'Manhunt 2!'

Marc fooled 'em!
10:48 AM, November 21, 2007
I've had four or five people watch the 'Marc III' video below and have no clue that all three people are Marc. Yes, that's Marc... playing drums, guitar and singing.
AND, that was the disturbing part.
