Kyozo Kickshas been busy creating awesome again. Last time, he whipped upthe most incredible tribute to Phoenix Wright in wearable formever, and this time, he’s back with a little bit of love for the Triforce-obsessed. I really dig the crisp paint job and cool look of these sneakers — and it seems the artist is open to custom requests as well, so if you’re wild about the idea of owning your ownArcana Heartsneakers, get to it and send him an email....

Hey, there’s nothing like confidence. A user over atNeoGAFrecently opened his new copy ofOfficial PlayStation Magazineto find an interview with Sony’s Senior Vice President of Product Development, Shuhei Yoshida. Besides possessing the longest title at Sony, Yoshida has also taken an interest in Team Ico’s upcoming PlayStation 3 project. He has seen the project at work and was confident enough to say that the game is looking “really, really good.” Here’s the excerpt:...

This kid wouldn’t get out of bed. Solution? Father gets a gun and uses his skills fromDoomto wake him up. Too cute. [Via@PDP-Candace’s Twitter]

Warning:Video contains footage that some viewers may find disturbing. This week’s Jimquisition loses a little on the “angry rant” side and gains a little on the “serious business” side. It was filmed in partial response to Leigh Alexander’s “Who Cheers For War?” article, an article that caused something of a stir last week. In it she talked of gamers who want realistic violence. I offer a counter to that. Aside from erroneously naming Alexander’s column (the perils of unscripted bollocks!...

BioShock Today brings some unfortunate news. No, my puppy is fine. Nope, I still love dolphins just as much as always. I’m sad to say, this will be the last Memory Card for a while. But, not to worry, it willmost definitelyreturn. I just figured a small break was needed to reorganize and gather some more amazing gaming memories that we can all hold hands and talk about in front of the fireplace together....

Politics in your gaming podcasts? How did that happen? In this, the fifth installment ofThe Podcastle, your regular trio of Jim Sterling, Wardrox and Atheistium discuss the political situation regarding videogames in Europe. Sort of. Actually, there is a surprising amount of (gasp) actual discussion in this episode, so if you tune into the show merely to hear the word c***, then you’ll probably be disappointed. That said, you will get to hear my new plan to open a fertility clinic in my bedroom, Atheistium divulge her secret videogame love fantasies, and the debut of RAGEDROX....

Oh you crazy Dutch — what will you think up next?I’m trying to think of a good reason why anyone would want to do this (other than not owning an actual TV), but I’m having trouble coming up with anything clever. This is not the first time we’ve seen creative uses of alternate displays for the Wii, and something tells me this won’t be the last.Are we that bored with the system already?...

I am fully aware that by posting this, I am essentially opening up any positive review ofDarksiders(released this week)to accusations of pay-offs and bias. However, I don’t really care, because I just received a GIANT MASSIVEDARKSIDERSSWORD! Yes, after receiving the biggest box in the world, I opened it up to find not only my review copy of the game, butthisridiculous beast. The sword (known toDarksidersplayers as the Chaos Eater) is so ludicrous that I literally burst out laughing when I took it out of the box....
