Though most of you base your video game purchasing decisions on replay value, storytelling elements or a title's raw, unmitigated fun factor, we realize there's a small sect of gamers who make said decisions based on the game's capacity for physical violence towards flying machines. A very small sect. Like, one person -- Penny Arcade's Gabe. His obsession was revealed in the recent strip "Consumer Advocacy," the winner of last week's Weekly Webcomic Wrapup.
Second and third place went to Virtual Shackles' "A Dose of Fake Reality" and 2P Start's "The Power of Teamwork," respectively. If you've got a favorite comic from this past week you'd like to see in the polls, now's the time to submit it -- just drop a link in the comments, or send in a tip!

Speaking of the P-'cade, that Cardboard Tube Samurai in Tekken 6 looks pretty badass.

I don't really care for the helicopter one (just not my thing, I guess), but the other 2 are really good. I really like the third one about playing co-op games. My son and I love playing Mario Brothers together. Not to try and achieve a high score, but to see how many times we can get each other killed. In fact, some of our favorite games are games where instead of working together, we can find a way of trying to damage the other person.
I really hope the new Super Mario game gives you the chance to ness with your fellow players.

This one was my favorite this week. A bit absurd but totally feasible too:

That comic was fantastic. Love the "console that has been on fire for six months." Thanks for the head's up.

Well, Dipswitch had four comics this week!

Friday 1 - Magic: The Gathering on XBLA is talked about

Felt strong enough to do two for Friday, because that MK lawsuit seems like total BS.

I think I might get Prototype as a birthday present next week. It looks pretty fun. I really liked the Hulk game for Gamecube and I think its from the same people.
These are my entries for the week.

I liked Wednesday's Penny Arcade. It's not game related, but the Morgan Freeman picture makes me laugh.

God this comment system's fucked. I replied the forth time, because the third time didn't show up on my browser. Sorry for spamming.

Prototype is really underrated imo. I have both Infamous and Prototype and find Prototype a better game, both are good but I find Infamous overrated personally.

Yatzhee's review of Prototype actually made me want to play it, since it sounds rather fun.

Monday Night Crew's offerings:

I think 151 is a better choice personally.

Well, I like the second one myself. But you'd get a BitF backlash. It seems like Nintendo is their bailywick...but I always get a hoot out of Birdo. :)
Both are good.

Um, so like, my comic isn't videogame related DIRECTLY, but um, it's got Transformers and the new movie has a game, and I thought I'd share it with you:

Being able to karate kick a helicopter is not quite enough.
Proof? Last Action Hero on the SNES. Try and disagree with me here, I dare you.
