Real Life (French) Mario Kart

This was created by French writer/producer RĂ©mi Gaillard. I think its real. At first it seems like it isn't, but keep watching.

Marvel Vs. Capcom OMGs

I don't really give a rat's ass about Street Fighter, but if I did I'd be siked for Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I've played DC vs. Mortal Kombat and if you can get over how unbelievably unbelievable it is (in what world could Catwoman beat the crap out of Superman?), its pretty fun. So, this will be cool...probably.

Its nice to see some of the lesser known characters of the Marvel Universe like Taskmaster, Deadpool, X-23 and Dormammu. And then a bunch of Capcom guys are in it, but I only really recognize Street Fighter guys and the dude from Ghosts N Goblins.

If you don't want to know who the "Final Boss" is, don't hit the jump (you baby).

Dr. Mario, M.D.

Wii Fit is a game that comes with a pad you stand on and do exercises and stuff.  The game tracks your stats and fills you in on the progress.  Apparently, it is also authorized to make medical diagnosis.

Julie Wilks, a 54 year old woman had been using the game when she got the news she had Parkinson's:

"There was a huge footprint on the screen and everyone was joking saying I was doing it on purpose," said Julie Wilks, who later found out that she was suffering from the illness. "I'm so grateful that I was playing the game that day and that it ended up in my diagnosis."

"What an amazing piece of technology."


Parkinson's disease effects your central nervous system and impairs movement, thought processes, and posture. Wii Fit noticed that she was favoring her left foot and started to use her left hand over her right, even though she was right handed.  
Coming soon to XBOX 360.

Paul Conroy's "Top 5 Atari 2600 Games"

There are many people out there who don't currently play video games, but few who haven't at one point. While Paul Conroy (talent manager for athletes and musicians) has been obsessed with (and owned every version of) the Madden Football series dating back to it's beginnings on the Sega Genesis, he hasn't picked up any other video game in over 20 years. However, the impact the great games of the Atari 2600 made on him at an early age will forever be ingrained in his brain. We can all only hope that while he is staging hostile takeovers and negotiating huge contracts for athletes and musicians he views himself as Pitfall Harry jumping on the competitions heads and forging new ground for success.

We tip our hats to you PC, we always knew you had an 8-bit darkside!

Batman : Arkham City Trailer

Arkham Asylum was one of the best games of the last 5 years easily, this looks like it is going to continue the legacy!
