1. F you, we already got your money.
2. $50 is an o.k. price for any non WiiWare Wii game.
3. Animal Crossing IS what you want and all you're gonna get for now.
4. Nintendo's core gamers are insatiable.
5. Mario and Zelda games take time to develop.

"If there’s one thing that videogames do well – perhaps more so than any form of digital entertainment around – it’s immersion. The ability to suck in an individual not just through giving them complete control over their actions, but more pertinently, through the surroundings and awe-inspiring sights developers painstakingly carve and sculpt. It’s debatable that this sense of captivation has only progressed, with more talented designers getting more out of increasingly powerful consoles. And ..."

The Urban Dictionary describes a bromance as "A non-sexual relationship between two men that are unusually close". As such, gamedaily.com have created a top 12 list for these dynamic duos. Some are classics, while others are surprising.

Do you enjoy games with collectibles? Then this list may be just the thing for you! Whether it's collecting letters, fossils or skulls these games are the top providers for those who love a good scavenger hunt. Collectibles have always made for good fun and lengthening gameplay, so here's the twelve best for you by gamedaily.com.

"2001 was a pioneering year for video games. Nintendo released it’s GameCube console, and Microsoft entered the video game market with the Xbox. Meanwhile, the PlayStation 2 continued to dominate the market while Sega announced that they would be pulling out of the console business, killing support for the Dreamcast to focus on software. On the handheld front, Nintendo released their Game Boy Advance.

Before the Dreamcast went away, though, it did see a few milestones. 800,000 people found ..."

A countdown of the top 10 best Dungeons and Dragons "classic" modules. For the purposes of this list, classic modules are those that came before Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance.

In the coming of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & bolts I thought that I would make a list of the top theme songs in the Banjo-Kazooie games.

5. Jinjo Village.



One word... WOW! The song is beautifully recorded and the theme is just one you can't get out of your head. When you first hear those first few notes you know that the song is a good one. The theme also suits the area in Banjo-Tooie as well.

4. Cauldron Keep



This theme is awesome and keeps in the theme of nervous tension. The...

"There's nothing like a steamingly camp villain to really set off a game plot with a bang (and a mince and a girly titter). There's just something about a preening effeminate bad guy that instantly undermines a hero, no matter what abilities and attributes said doer of good might have. He's threatening to destroy the world? Pah. He's threatening to destroy the world in lip liner!? Christ, he must be confident.

And that's to say nothing of the countless enemies who are hilariously camp purel..."

"2. Food that completely fills your energy

Picture this; you’re about to die and are gasping for your final breath. You’re rushed to the emergency room, and what does the doctor give you? A roasted chicken. You eat the chicken and walk out as if nothing happened. Could you imagine what would happen in the real world if all your physical and mental ailments could be solved by a piece of chicken? What would happen to modern medicine? All modern doctors would have to become nutritionists, or a..."

1. Sonic The Hedgehog isn't only the name of Sega's speedy mascot, but also a gene on chromosome 7 of the human genome. Well, it was until recently when the science community decided to ditch all of its 'comedy' names for genes. Party poopers.
2. In the original Super Smash Brothers Melee, the Princess Daisy trophy had a mysterious third eye on the back of its head. Unfortunate glitch? Or something more sinister?
3. There are currently over 100 million Game Boys in the world; both the original and th...

Quite the comprehensive top list! Check out this selection of the top twenty five first levels of video games ever! All the favourites are in there, Super Metroid taking first place followed by Bioshock and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Each game in the list has a picture and description of the first level to show why it's so good.

Is your favourite first level in there?

One of our stellar writers, Locke Webster, has been spending hours daily scouring LittleBigPlanet for some of the best stages. Having him on the friends list has been a real treat checking out all the cool ORIGINAL stages he discovered. So we tasked him with picking out the best, and having checked out a few of these from him, I must certainly agree.

"What we consider to be the ending of Super Metroid is actually playable. We consider the moment you enter Tourian in Super Metroid to be the official ending of Super Metroid. The Metroid’s are easy to destroy and your packed with loads of energy and weapons at this point (You had to be to defeat Ridely). The whole scene of watching the baby metroid you saved kill the nucleus form of Mother Brain is one of the more emotional moments for the Super Nintendo medium. Escaping Tourian and saving yo..."

Halo 3's Forge Mode has inspired many gamers to do a plethora of different things. Unreality goes through 8 of their favourite, and more or less most crazy, uses of Forge. Ranging from America's favorite pastime (Baseball, not binge drinking contrary to popular belief) all the way to yep, you guessed it - a marriage proposal.


Be sure to check out all the videos and descriptions after the jump!

Rachael Quattrini of gotgame.com has made one of the more interesting top lists of recent. This one is for the top five games in terms of usage of the Nintendo DS features. These range from the use of the microphone for in-game functions or the touch screen and stylus.

Each game is justified by some reasons why it deserves to be on the list. Are there any other games you felt made good use of the Nintendo DS capabilities?

"In the world of Gaming, 2000 was actually a pretty kick ass year. We were all able to get our hands on the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo sold it’s 100,000,000th Game Boy system.

Looking Glass Studios (System Shock 2, Thief series) went out of business. Bungie was bought by Microsoft (to the eternal embarrassment of Apple's Steve Jobs, to be sure), and Red Storm Entertainment became the new property of Ubisoft. Volition, the development house behind FreeSpace 2 and Summoner (and later Saint's ..."

"We here at OW get a lot of flack from a group of people who refer to themselves as “hardcore gamers.” Despite the fact that we have never claimed to cater to anyone, other than ourselves, these people feel they are owed something. They are an interesting lot. They have a lot to say when they are anonymous, and find fault in everything. No game or system is perfect, and what little time they don’t spend playing games is spent complaining about them. Their most hated enemy is the “casual gamer”..."

To celebrate the release of Call of Duty: World at War, we've had our resident WWII expert, and all around CoD guru, to present what he feels are the Top 11 moments from the entire franchise's history.

Personally, kind of tired of the call of duty games and WWII setting (Willing to forgive alternate timelines like Red Alert 3 and Resistance)... Sure, killing nazi's = fun and shouldn't grow old, but I'm simply tired of all WWII genre.

What's better than a refreshing drink? One with something to do with video games, of course. Scott Sharkey of 1up has compiled a small top list of the five best video game influenced beverages.

They range from colourful farts to Halo Mountain Dew and Tekken Jones. Some of them are funny, some of them odd and some are just plain rip offs in terms of your money.

What's your favourite?

Kaes Delgrego of nintendowiifanboy.com has made a top list which is a little more on the lighter side than usual... I hope...

He decided to make a top five list for statements which will lead to a Nintendo fan punching you in the face. The list is quite comical, with the top statement being nothing but predictable.

It is disappointing they didn't put in the "Nintendo sold out for softcore games" but oh well!

"1. Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow (Game Boy)

2 Players
Trading Pokémon

I don't care what you say. If you never traded Pok émon with another dork, your life is incomplete, and actually means nothing to me. Whenever there's like a big earthquake in Indonesia or whatever, I don't care because I know that all those mushed Indonesians probably never experienced the joy of trading Pokémon. Their lives were worthless. I remember the excitement in the air as me and my friends would hook up that crapp..."

"3. Better Multiplayer Action

Being able to play the Wii sports catalogue with four friends all swinging the Wii’s controller around proves to be enormous fun. As always, Nintendo looks after it’s multiplayer action with the care that has went into all it’s other systems. After all, Nintendo is the creator and owner of the Mario Kart series. The PS3 comes nowhere close to the multiplayer enjoy ability of the Wii. One could make the case that the Xbox360 beats out the Wii in Multiplayer ente..."

"3. “All your base are belong to us.”—CATS, Zero Wing
Whoever this CATS character is seriously needs to brush up on his engrish. If you can actually find the transcripts of what was originally intended for the game, though, you’ll find that it was actually pretty good. At least, good compared to lines like, “Somebody set up us the bomb,” and “You have no chance to survive make your time.” If this is all it takes to become a translator, writing nonsense, then please sign me up immediately."

Video Game theme songs ... They can either be memorable or completely forgettable. So which are the ones that have stuck in your minds over the years?
