Sometimes, I find some really interesting lots for sale on eBay. Doing a little searching today, I came across a lot of 400 video games for $3,199.99 + Shipping (US $250, Canada $400). That works out to about $8.62 per game if you have it shipped to the United States. Keep in mind that a majority of the games are for the PS2 and original Xbox. I’m not sure what a collection like this would cost you at a store like GameStop for example, but I think the price would actually be pretty close. I wouldn’t classify this as a great deal, but it would be sweet to have all these games in your collection. If the price were closer to say $2,000 for all 400, I’d consider buying it myself.

The Wii seems like a potentially perfect platform for first-person shooters. Control your movement with the Nunchuk’s analog stick, aim with the Wiimote and fire with the trigger; simple enough. Developers have failed to really take advantage of the Wii’s motion controls with any FPS to date, but Medal of Honor Heroes 2 takes tremendous strides forward in establishing a solid control scheme for Wii FPSs.

Your impressions of Heroes itself will likely vary greatly depending on what you expect out of it. If you’re hoping it’s comparable to Call of Duty 4 or any of the other triple-A FPSs that have been released in recent months, you’re going to be very disappointed. But if you take Heroes for what it is – a fairly simple, straightforward WWII shooter built for the Wii and PSP, you’ll find it to be a surprisingly enjoyable experience. Read the full article

Halloween is here, and what better way to celebrate than by paying homage to some of the most notorious ghouls and monsters to grace our PCs and consoles? Without such cannon fodder as spiders, vampires and zombies we would be condemned to just shooting our fellow man, which although fun, would get old after a while. In compiling this list, I came across some notables worthy of an honorable mention, but who have yet to become mainstream enough to cross over into different genres, and instead continue to be pigeon holed within their niche. While this list is in no way a complete list of video game baddies, it is instead a list of some of the most common miscreants to get within our pistol sites or in the vicinity of our broadsword.

These distractions on our way to victory in our gaming universe are also not listed in order of importance or occurrence rate – because face it – one is just as annoying and evil as the other. Unfortunately, these monsters never get the glory that their bosses do, because they are nothing more than expendable minions set upon our paths to deplete our life force so that the main antagonist may continue with more important matters – World Domination. In truth, they become nothing more than something for you to enjoy chopping to bits or a vessel for extra health, magic, or cash, the poor, misguided fools. So without further ado, let me introduce you to the stars of this post.
