I’m not sure why this R2-D2 has 8 video game consoles built into its innards, but I still like it. Maybe it’s just the very fact that I’ve never seen an R2 unit with more than 20 game controllers connected to its front, or maybe it’s just the sheer absurdity…

The Joytron Singibigi joystick is pretty unconventional looking for a home arcade controller. Instead of the typical black plastic box that you usually find these joysticks wrapped in, this one has a nice looking wood finish, reminiscent of the control panels on Japanese arcade machines.…

Halloween-party-throwing foodie gamers – is that a demographic? If so, folks, it’s your day. If you have been dying to suck the sugar-force from a gelatinous Metroid, don’t worry. You’re covered.

Any good zombie apocalypse is all about survival, so a game that’s actually named Zombie Apocalypse… isn’t likely to be about picking daisies. This week’s downloadable co-op experiences promises gore, guns, and most importantly, zombies. Loads of ‘em, and all ripe for the slaughter.

Things are simple here. You’ve got
