The Rainbow Road Shot Challenge
The Rainbow Road Shot Challenge
The Drunken Moogle reader Mar and her husband submitted a combination of shots, meant to be taken together, called the Rainbow Road Shot challenge.
Each shot represents a monster in the Mario universe. As the monsters get stronger down the road, so does the shot! Participants start out with the Goomba shot and end with the flaming Bowser shot.

Pwn My Life 3
Ever had a moment so nerdy that you needed to tell the Internet about it? Message me your story and I promised to feature it!
Back in fifth grade, one of my friends was playing some rpg on gameboy advanced. He was fighting one of those bosses that you’re supposed to lose to, the kind that have 9999 health and you can only deal one damage to at a time. He was curious about what would happen if...

Prototype 2 features new, very angry protagonist
The open world game debuts a new trailer, a new set of moves, and a new main character.
Take an open world, insert a guy with fantastic powers, then begin to break stuff. Such was the premise of the original Prototype game, and its predecessor seems to be following the same strategy. Sure, there is a huge plot about conspiracies and revenge, but at its heart, the Prototype games are there for...

I’m not sure how I feel about this game…I mean the first one had a ton of potential but was a bit of a letdown in the end, and judging by this trailer it won’t be very different. I could be wrong though. Check it out and tell me what you think.

Continuing our journey through the Unova Pokedex with two superstar foxes…
This week we’re finally getting around to highlighting the first two Pokemon revealed when Black and White was announced. Zorua and Zoroark are in some ways the Riolu and Lucario of this generation – they seemed almost legendary-esque at first, and they’re not as easily obtainable as most non-legendary...

New maps are coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops in a few days, and if you’re looking forward to the ‘First Strike’ DLC and aren’t turned off by the price, then enjoy these new screens while you wait. Otherwise, well, don’t enjoy these new screens, we guess.

At the end of the study, the activity that seemed to help the soldiers cope the best was playing videogames.
Soldiers that played games had the lowest rates of PTSD,...

Kirby, Donkey Kong Earn Platinum-Selling Status
We absolutely loved Kirby’s Epic Yarn and Donkey Kong Country Returns, and it looks as though we’re in good company. According to Q3 2010 financial documents from Nintendo showing game sales from April-December 2010, those titles sold 1.4 million and 4.2 million units respectively.
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future was another million-plus seller, moving 1.87 million copies...

What Happened To Cheat Codes?

Star Fox 2
Above: Not bad per se, but we’re still lucky it was canned
What could have been: After Star Fox had proven that the SNES could do 3D graphics (provided you packed them into a cartridge more powerful than Jesus and didn’t get your hopes up), everyone was waiting for the next big Super FX revelation. Would it be the underpowered Stunt Race FX? The uncalled-for Winter...

Super Mario’s Wacky Worlds
What could have been: During Nintendo’s flirtation with Philips, someone suggested putting together CD-i versions of a few SNES games. “Shucks,” said Novalogic, “why don’t we just do a CD sequel to Mario World, set on Earth?”
That doesn’t sound so bad… It certainly didn’t fail for lack of effort. Developers worked 24-hour days for...

Steven Seagal is The Final Option
What could have been: “No, it’s not a movie,” gushed an EGM preview, “but it’s pretty damn close to one.” What movie was that, exactly? After all, this is a game greenlit before Under Siege had anyone taking Seagal seriously (historical note: people once took Steven Seagal seriously). But hey, if you liked Nico: Above the Law, surely...

B.C.
What could have been: A vast, gleefully anachronistic prehistoric world where players are low on the food chain. Enemy dinosaurs, when butchered, would relinquish “swimming pools full of blood,” promised developer Peter Molyneux. You see where this is going.

Since the latest Wii entry is getting its “finishing touches” it looks like Skyward Sword is on schedule for a 2011 release. Who else is excited?
