Right now fan favourite Forbidden Planet is taking pre-orders on some high quality Jedi robes. You have your Jedi robes, right? The quirky fact is that before you apply any discounts the Obi Wan, Episode III, robes are about £45 more expensive than Anakin’s. How do their lightsabers compare? This time they’re the same price.

Cool: Fighting Fantasy’s The Warlock of Firetop Mountain comes to the iPhone
It’s true. A company called Big Blue Bubble is to thank – and credit for having a groovy name too! If you want to stop reading and start playing then the link to the UK app store is here. The game works as you’d expect. Tap the pages to flip the pages. Shake the iPhone [...]
Pictures: Mundane scaring monsters
These two brilliant bits of art hit my radar via a Russian LiveJournal that often discovers neat stuff. The Journal rarely gives credit so I don’t know who the mastermind behind these two are (let me know) and sometimes posts NSFW content so don’t go clicky-clicky! I think my favourite is the bunny holding the [...]
Buy a PS3 and trash everything else
A pretty funky ad from Venezuela for the PlayStation 3 here. It gets your attention by trashing a lot of expensive looking stuff. Lots of broken glass. There’s a giant slingshot – in fact I think the ad is called “slingshot”. Oh, and there’s a PS3 too!
Is this the most useless machine, ever?
There are a lot of contenders for the title “Most Useless Machine EVER!”. A lot of gamers will be quick to slide in console jokes here! I think this video does a good job at demonstrating a prime candidate for the title. Truly, this machine is pretty useless!
The startling art preview of Darkwalkers
Darkwalkers isn’t a new game. The RPG from Steve Creech’s DragonWing Games has reviews on RPGNow that date back to 2006. I’m blogging about Darkwalkers today because of the sexy art given away as part of the game’s preview. The preview’s available here too. The signature on the art is plainly that of Bruce Colero. [...]
Spinning mobile phone battery
I found this one over at the superb Yanko Design blog and it caught my attention straight away. The concept is simple; a mobile phone battery with a finger sized hole in it. This allows you to spin the darn thing around and around really quickly and really easily. That’s a chance to pump some [...]
Super quick Gantz live action trailer
I’ve not yet watched any Gantz but I know two crucial things about it; it’s supposed to be very, very violent and the anime covers feature a mysterious black orb. This video is clearly Gantz. There’s no violence but that black sphere just screams “Gantz” at me and I suspect that would make the director [...]
4 European trailers for Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll
We are the third region. While the US and Japan battle it out to see who gets the best trailers for any given game – there’s also Europe. Often we’re left behind. Sometimes we get a cut that’s better than the others. Mind you; sometimes we get the same as the Americans because we speak [...]
