Nintendo came out of left field with their wacky little “Touch Generations”DStitle,Brain Age. Who could have expected a game that amounted to essentially doing grade school homework (and would often insult your intelligence by telling you about your wrinkly old brain) would manage to break sales records worldwide? So it shouldn’t be any surprise that we’re already seeing copycats and competitors making their way to the field. You also shouldn’t be surprised to learn that I’m willing to take one for the team and actually go out of my way to pick up what I’m calling the “ghetto brain training games....

GameStop thefts are nothing out of the ordinary. I’ve been tempted to break into my local that get the backdated pre-order bonuses they display behind the counter, but aren’t giving away. Still, this guy had the right idea — break into adifferentplace, and then tunnel in through the wall. 33-year-old Steven Paul Archer robbed a store in Johnson City, Tennessee by first entering a vacant building next door and then burrowing through like Mr....

Metroid Primefans, prepare to splooge!

A new three-game compilation including the previous GameCube titles along withMetroid Prime 3: Corruptionwill launch on August 24 for $49.99. You can expectMetroid Prime 1&2to play the same wayCorruptiondid, so if you were a fan of Samus Aran’s Wii debut, then this is definitely the trilogy for you....

As wediscussed this weekend,PSWmagazine was claiming thatGrand Theft Auto IV‘sLost & DamnedDLC would be coming to PlayStation 3 this year. Naturally, Microsoft hasclambered from the woodworkto quash any speculation on the subject, naturally denying everything. Microsoft’s reaction to the rumor has been blunt, but it got the message across: “The episodes are exclusive to Xbox 360.” What more needs to be said? Of course, if you want to extrapolate,and you do, one could easily argue that MS is truthful in saying the episodes are exclusiveright now....

Today’s long-overdue Miniboss Monday is brought to you lovingly by the letter “F.” The letter “F” can stand for many things, but today, we’ll focus primarily on one word in particular:frustration. Yes, frustration is something all gamers the world over are rather familiar with, but this is no normal boss we’re talking about here. This is downright digital blasphemy that defies all gaming conventon — this isDugog, the first (and hardest) boss inPuzzle Quest....

I am not among the thousands who were prepared to drop their pants and jizz up a storm over a mere minute and fifty-five seconds of concept, but needless to say,Mirror’s Edgeis theoretically a visually stunning affair backed up by some terrific ideas. It has the potential to be a killer title, so I expect this really pretty artwork to tent a few trousers upon viewing. The art style is a breath of fresh air after all the depressing greys and browns that this generation has become famous for....

You know how it works! With the help of each other, attempt to figure out all of the disguised video game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. This week’s theme is a little more creative than usual, but it shouldn’t be too hard to unravel. Don’t be afraid to shout out ideas and work together as a team to solve them all....

You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. Last weekI stumped you guys again! Go back and check out what the last hard teaser was, I’m surprised no one got it. This week’s theme is incredibly easy, but some of the teasers are extra difficult to balance things out....

Anyone beatlast week’smind teaser yet? Didn’t think so. Okay, no more games until we get past that hellacious hurdle — see you next week! Okay, okay, okay. I’m not that cruel. But I am cruel enough to introduce you to the GROW game series. Not just one of them. Not just the hardest one. ALL of them. Dtoid reader and fellow mind teaser masterCoughreminded me of a wonderful flash game series I had forgotten all about....

I saw this wonderful vocabulary game on Reddit a few months ago and have been meaning to post it ever since. I’ve been busy with theFlixistlaunch for the last few months, but now that things are stable and awesome on a daily basis I’ll have the time to find and share great online games each week that are worthy of your attention. If you ever come across something that’s a good fit then don’t hesitate to send me a message on Dtoid orTwitter....

Even though file size restrictions for Xbox LIVE Arcade games have vastly increased, we’re still not seeing a continuous flow of games with high production values that take full advantage of the allotted server space. Not to say that a smaller scale game can’t be immensely satisfying, but when it’s simpleanddecent at best, it doesn’t have much going for it.Uber Entertainment, however, looks to be on the right track withMonday Night Combat....

The Electronic Entertainment Expo is but one week away, and SEGA has not let up on theAliens-themed teases. Last time,we got a doll headcourtesy ofAlienscharacter Rebecca Jorden. This time, Carter Burke — which fans will remember as the slimy Weyland-Yutani corporate villain — sent something along. It’s a big art print of a spacecraft, which appears to be the USS Sulaco — the ship responsible for bringing the Marines to LV-426....

As a late night talk show host, Jimmy Fallon is, like, totally way cooler than those other guys. I mean, seriously — did Johnny Carson ever have aTwitter accountwhere he recount fights he had in NY pizza joints? No! King of Late Night my ass! Also, Fallon talks about videogames a bunch on his show, and guess what? We have heard of these things, and we like them. Seriously though, if Fallon is making the ground-floor creative decisions for NBC’sThe Jimmy Fallon Show, good for him....
