Video games make good Movies. Video Games also make good fake Movie trailers. They are hilarious and coming from video games you would never expect. So check them out!
I remember when I loved playing those Space shooting games and the classical Mario. Some of us usually forget these things by now but let's bring back those old fashioned characters in this Top 10 list. Check them out.
"When you're the guy who created an established franchise that has been going for upwards of 30 years and still enjoys success, you're pretty much allowed to criticize whoever you so choose. Well Toru Iwatani - the man who created that ghost-muching gobbler Pacman - has now called upon the modern gaming industry to change exactly how they go about creating games, focusing on how more games that stand the test of time should be invented rather than simple games we're currently seeing on mobil..."
Daav from NoobFeed.com goes over all the winners in the Art of Video Games exhibition from the Smithsonian. After about a quarter decade of playing games and a bunch of platforms, NoobFeed goes over what choices are sound and what improvements or better decisions could've made the final cut. Get your nostalgia on!
Game Podunk writes on how awesome it is for game publishers to preserve classic gaming by extending its availability on newer systems. Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is a good example of classic arcade game series that's continuing on its legacy on newer systems like the PS3 and Xbox 360. Then there's the rest of the all time favorite arcade games mentions like Pacman, Pong, Frogger, and more and how many of these games are offered through downloads on Playstation Network and Xbox Live sites.
Allison Boyer enjoys finding video game related tattoos. The last time I posted one of her "Gaming Ink" blogs here on Grep was a Mario one. Since then she has posted a Halo Gaming Ink and Zelda Gaming Ink.

"Ive been scouring the Internet for months in search of a recipe for video game foods. It hasnt been easy. The bakers and cake decorators who know how to create really amazing desserts dont seem to want to share their cooking secrets, leaving me with recipes for companion cube cakes that look rather disgusting. So, inspired by my friends at Nerds Gone Wild! Magazine, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I decided to bake Triforce shortbread cookies."
What's that you say? Now I can play Pac-Man and sit on him? That's right!
QAYOT, an Italian designer, has been making Pac-Man furniture without Namco knowing! It could be argued it's not, considering they're not yellow and the pellets are diamond and not round... but a little suspicious don't you think?

"Despite the fact that video game-inspired films have not yet attained either critical or financial success, the film industry still believes in them enough to invest some serious cash in upcoming game-based projects. Producer Steven Paul, who has brought movie audiences recent gems such as Ghost Rider and Bratz, announced that his production company, Crystal Sky Pictures, has managed to bring in $200 million to help fund five films. These include Castlevania, an unnamed sequel to Hard Boiled ..."
