YouTube Hits: What if Nintendo made Halo 3?
It’s a dangerous question to ask, and I’m surprised the comments over on the video at YouTube aren’t laced with more vitriol!
I think a better question to ask would be ‘what would Wii Fit look like if it was made for the PS3?’ Anyone else think it would involve reaching forward 3cm and flicking the switch on the side of the PS3 waffle grill?
Nokia N-Gage Extreme Gaming Club – extremely embarrassing
Extreme Gaming Club Part 1: Indoor skydiving
The concept of “Extreme Gaming” on the Nokia N-Gage platform is an embarrassment of a level somewhere between trying to pretend you know the words to a song you don’t and watching your dad dance.

Cops wasting time playing video games in the name of "training"
Police could be taught the differences between good (don’t shoot!) and evil (shoot!) thanks to a new video game created by boffins at Abertay University. The game have been given the superbly functional and utilitarian name of Shoot/No Shoot.
It uses your standard video game light gun. Cops “playing” the experience approach a man who’s fiddling about in his car boot. He then turns to face the camera and… what do you do? Shoot first? Incapacitate him with a bullet to the knee? Go for a safe takedown shot into his chest cavity? Headshot, like in Halo…
