I just thought of a hilariously awesome Portal 2 tie in item: Space Core x-mas lights. with bonus mini turrets!
IRL GoldenEye 64
This is pretty cool looking, right? You know how many hours I spent on this game? dozens, if not hundreds.
Introducing the 8-Bitty controller
We’ll cut right to the chase: this image is not photoshopped.
Yes, it’s a handheld video game controller in the classic style 8-bit style you know and love–but now it’s for your iPad or iPhone, no console or cartridges required. And it exists IRL.
We’re calling it the iCADE 8-Bitty. It pairs wirelessly just like our iCADE, and it’s compatible with a growing list of hundreds of retro game apps, including the Atari Classics collection, Pac Man, Super Mega Worm, and more (see full list). Because the 8-Bitty uses a completely open interface system, any app developer can easily add game support–even to Android devices.

Skyrim Intervention
Since the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Greg hasn’t left his man cave and is living in an altered Skyrim reality. When Greg’s family and friends finally have enough of him missing out on real life, they must take drastic measures to convince him to stop, but will he listen?
Seriously, I don’t care what I’m addicted to, never ever ever “stage” an intervention for me, I would likely just end up hurting someone.
with a word of power, cause that’s how I roll.

Portal 2 Test Candidate Hoodie
Congratulations on being accepted as a test candidate for the Aperture Science Computer-Aided Enrichment Center. Please keep your hoodie on you at all times as the results of prolonged exposure of test subjects to the outside world are as yet unknown.
Gawd dawmmit, I’m not in ThinkGeek’s affiliate program yet. also, they’re sold out right now, I’d love to have one of these. In black and blue, not white and blue, that’s just weird.

Star Trek – Catan
In Star Trek Catan, players start the game with two small space stations at the intersection of three planets, with each planet supplying resources based on the result of a dice roll. Players collect and trade these resources – Dilithium, Tritanium, food, oxygen and water – in order to build spaceships that connect regions in the galaxy, establish small and large space stations at new intersection points in order to increase resource acquisition, and acquire development cards that provide victory points (VPs) or special abilities.
On a dice roll of 7, a Klingon ship swoops in to prevent resource production on one planet, while taxing spacegoers who hold too many resources.
The one new element in Star Trek Catan compared to the Settlers version is a set of character cards, each featuring one of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Sulu, Scott, Uhura, Chekov, Chapel, Rand or Sarek. Each character card has two special powers that the holder can use on his turn, such as a forced trade.

Rumor: Microsoft to discontinue its virtual currency system Microsoft Points
Microsoft’s proprietary virtual currency system, Microsoft Points, will be phased out by the end of the year, according to a source with knowledge of the company’s decision. The change will affect developers for Windows Phone, the Zune marketplace and Xbox Live.
By the end of 2012, all transactions will be based on the region set on the purchasing account and real money will be used to purchase all Windows Phone content. The move puts the Windows Phone Marketplace in line with the purchasing practices used in the App Store and the Android Market.
of course, in the end this will be a good thing, but what about those 90 points that I still have on my xbox 360 account? will I get those pennies back from MS somehow?

Bungie handing over Halo community services to 343 in March
As of March 31, 2012, Bungie will no longer host any Halo services on Bungie.net. Current Halo data will be transferred to 343 and, at that time, “all live Halo data will be managed by 343 Industries, and Bungie will no longer be able to update game stats and player service records, to host new user generated content, or to operate the Bungie Pro service.” Using a peculiar bit of language, Bungie notes that “any replacement functionality” will be hosted by Halo Waypoint on halo.xbox.com.
Sad to see bungie moving on, but 343′s done pretty well so far, I’ve been fairly happy with the Halo Waypoint relaunch, and very happy with Halo Anniversary.

Trailer for an ‘Angry Birds’ Film
Jason and Tommy are tasked with delivering the Queen Mum’s famed Fabergé egg collection to a museum in Philadelphia. Only when they get to America, they find the eggs are gone. A team of highly-trained femme fatale art thieves have stolen the case the eggs were transported in, only to discover another team of swine-masked bandits has made off with the actual prize.
These so-called “American birds” aren’t just going to sit back, and let someone else get all the glory and gold. They’re smart. They’re sexy. And now, these birds are angry.
From the creators of God of War (Indie Movie), The Legend of Zelda (1987), and Inglourious Plummers comes the next epic of blockbuster proportions: Angry Birds.
yellow bird is my most fav. she has nice plumage.

I’m interested in the conductor for multiple reasons, prime among them is (1) she’s hot, and (2) she’s REALLY into it.
Warco: an FPS where you hold a camera instead of a gun
Warco is a first-person game where players shoot footage instead of a gun. A work in progress at Brisbane-based studio Defiant Development, the game is a collaboration of sorts; Defiant is working with both a journalist and a filmmaker to create a game that puts you in the role of a journalist embedded in a warzone. Ars spoke with Defiant’s Morgan Jaffit to learn more about this political game disguised as an FPS.
An interesting concept that I think I would like to try out…
