First Annual Gameslave Awards

/
Well, it's that time of year again. At the end of the year and beginning of the New Year, everybody in this business looks back at what video games came out and which ones made our jaws drop. This past year we were lucky to get some damn good games. With every good title, you will undoubtedly find some stinkers, but it's my job to find you the best of the best. So without further ado, Gameslave presents the first annual "Gameslave Awards". Enjoy!

Winter-een-mas Comes

/

You heard me, Winter-een-mas is upon us.  For those of you that do not know what Winter-een-mas is the explanation is simple.  It is a 1 week long celebration from January 25th - 31st of all that is gaming. The holiday was invented in the comic Ctrl+Alt+Del.  With its creation so where created the Spirits of Gaming.  The Spirit of Action and Adventure, the Spirit of FPS, the Spirit of Fighters, the RTS Spirit, the Racing Spirit, the RPG Vixen and lastly the Sports Spirit (all introduced here).  Since the creation of this pixel laden week it has started to take on a life of its own.  So much the creator has started to let people do their own thing with it and not push it near as much as when he setup this site.  Now many of you may wonder why should you care about Winter-een-mas (which probably could have used a better name honestly), beyond an great excuse to play video games for a week straight as a celebration.

Official Nintendo 3DS Release Date

/

The 3DS will be available in two colors at launch, Blue (pictured) and Black. Red will be coming shortly after.Nintendo just released an official date and price for the 3DS at their company's worldwide press events in New York and Amsterdam.  In an earlier article that I wrote; it was speculated that the price would be $300.  Thankfully it was exactly that, speculation. 

The Nintendo 3DS will be released in the United States on March 27, 2011 for $249.99.  While it's still pretty damn pricy for a hand-held unit, it's at least 50 bucks cheaper than originally priced.  Nintendo also stated that in between late March and early June (3DS release date and E3) the new hand-held system will have over 30 first and third-party games, not too shabby for about two months worth.

The Nintendo 3DS is on the horizon.  If you are able to see a demo of the 3DS, do it.  You really have to see it to believe it.  Also, good luck getting the funds to purchase it on release day!
