Forbes predicts the current games that will become classics.

Gothic Girl | February 13, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 3  | views: 3053

One of the most original (and funny) games in recent history requires players to solve puzzles using a teleporting "Portal Gun." It also features a hugely compelling character in the computerized guide GLaDOS.

Rock Band

Nintendo Wii fails in university cardio fitness test

mistermostyn | January 24, 2008 | News | Wii  | views: 1872
"The study revealed that the Nintendo Wii, while certainly promoting an increase in physical activity, failed to impress in terms of convincing as a decent form of cardiovascular exercise.

Specifically, the 30 minutes of boxercise emerged as the most taxing on the cardiovascular system, while the 30 minutes on Wii boxing came in second and a 30-minute walk came in third."

Even if it plays well, it's such an unashamed act of hopping on a bandwagon recently established in mainstream gaming that GamerSquad is inclined to feel a little bit of embarrassment for the fi..."

Doctor warns against the advances of Nintendo Wiiitis

"It had to happen really, the very nature of gameplay associated with the Nintendo Wii lends itself too conveniently to eventual medical criticism regarding repetitive strain injury (RSI), tennis elbow, or some other kind or related tendonitis. So, bearing that in mind, meet Dr. Julio Bonis, who’s taken to labelling physical Wii complaints as Wiiitis. We kid you not."

A dog, that's right, a dog. Just a bit of tape and a controller and watch that dog throw those punches, look out Mike Tyson.

The video is a bit sketchy as they don't focus the video on the whole dog so someone could be behind...
