D'oh!: Sony uses Zelda theme at PS3 launch
This brought us some welcome weekend lulz. Sony recently held a launch event to mark this month's release of the PlayStation 3 in Malaysia, and obviously decided it needed just the right soundtrack to tie in with the event: something epic, memorable, and majestic. Their final choice was all of ...

Mario: lovable mascot of the world's greatest videogame company, or dangerous child sex predator? We thought we knew the Italian plumber well enough, but apparently not. NBC Dateline's Chris Ted Hansen, brother of Chris Hansen, has caught Mario red-handed, entering a young victim's house in ...
Man kidnaps himself for 'Nintendo computer'
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/nintendo/Man_kidnaps_himself_for_Nintendo_Computer'; How far would you go to obtain a Wii? Would you rob a bank? Freeze yourself? Kidnap yourself? That's what one "Mr. Yang" of Shangqiu, China has attempted, after his parents refused to buy him a Wii. At least, ...
Classic control scheme for High Voltage's other game
The Conduit, The Conduit, The Conduit -- that's all we media types bang on about when it comes to High Voltage. But the Illinois-based studio also has a WiiWare game in the pipeline: the scarcely covered Animales de la Muerte, a bloodthirsty shooter set in a Mexican zoo that has been overrun by ...
