This is the best chance for the Wii to make it into my video game rotation since I never got around to buying Mario Kart. No firm US release date yet, but I’m going to be keeping a close eye out for it.
I do love a Mario game. New Super Mario for the DS is one of my all-time faves.

I don’t own Rock Band, and maybe the Beatles catalog won’t translate as well to the game as well as bigger and louder bands do, but this intro video is selling me on the game. Hard.
There is also an HD version at the official site. It’s worth a click-through.

I know, not the best name for it, but that’s what he calls them so I will play along.
Apparently they’re all photoshopped from real, in-game Halo3 screenshots. There are lots of cool ones in there. Take a look. I’m not the biggest fan of the game, but the multimedia capabilities are freaking sweet.

This is the best damn news ever.
I swear, this is my favorite video game. This is awesome news.
It’s in the list! It’s in the list!.
This makes my day. Seriously. That is my favorite Xbox game, and now I can play it on the 360. I don’t have to keep the old Xbox1 anymore!
There is a lot to like about the new Halo, but the best thing so far (and by a mile-ed.) is the thing where the last 25 multiplayer and campaign games are archived on the bungie.net servers for you to go and replay. Then when you’re watching, if you see something awesome, you can snag a screenshot and upload it to share
Or, and this is the coolest part, you can carve whole clips out of the game to upload and share.
The clips aren’t accessible via the internet yet, you need to download and view them through your 360, but I can’t imagine it will be too long before we can get a couple of hours of play in on a Tuesday night and spend Wednesday talking junk and breaking down film online.
Belowyou will see me exacting some sweet rocket-flavored revenge after crmjolnir killed my teammate. And the best part about the screenshot is that you can’t see that the rocket also killed me in the process. I’m really not that good at this game.
MIT’s known for pranks, or hacks, against rival school Harvard (and sometimes even on their own campus). Their latest hack today enhances the John P. Harvard statue with a battle-ready Master Chief Spartan helmet and assault rifle (with a bullet count of 2E) in honor of Halo day.

Take-Two Game Has O.J. Simpson — and a Knife
A game trailer on the Game Trailers Web site shows Simpson game highlights as his team, “The Assassins,” moves down the field. Toward the end of the clip, Simpson scores a touchdown, prompting a large hooded mascot (above) above the scoreboard to make stabbing motions with a large knife.

Ethan hates Sony.
Reposted in its entirety from Joystiq:
It’s one step forward and a giant lurch back as Sony is poised to pull the plug on their 60GB PlayStation 3. You know, the same PlayStation 3 that they generously shaved $100 dollars from earlier this week.
In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, SCEE president David Reeves casually mentioned the end of the 60GB model when asked if they would offer the European market a lower priced model, as SCEA did here in the States.
“Well, they’re not really are they, because what the US are offering from the 1st of August is a USD $599 version with one game.”
Reeves goes on to say that SCEA marked it down to move and that once it’s gone, it’s gone. When asked for the dreaded confirmation as to if this was the end of the 60GB model, Reeves replied “In America, yes.”
Now don’t you feel silly for quitting that second job
UPDATE: Sony’s backpedaling. Maybe. Joystiq is following it.
