So I am browsing around the interwebs and while on Topless Robot I find the following video. Being a fan of the Mass Effect series that I am I was unable to pass this one up, so here you are "Commander Shepard: The Official Music Video".
So Nintendo's latest iteration of the Nintendo DS line, the 3DS has launched in Japan. They had 400,000 units they had for their loyal minons fans sold out quickly. According to sources most of the these units had been sold out for since they started taking pre-orders, but the places that where not sold of from pre-orders had lines 2,000 people long. So is this what we are looking forward to here in a months time?
Well if you are planning on getting a 3DS you might want to know what games you will be playing when it is released and we got you covered. But before you get yours hopes up, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is not on the list.
No real surprise here given their history, but Australia has found that Mortal Kombat does not fit into it's limited rating system, and has therefore been banned from entering the country legally. This is mostly due to the outdated notion that the Austrailian parlament has about games being only for kids since their highest rating for games is still MA 15+. While many groups have tried to get an MA 18+ rating into the Australian system these attempts have so far failed. This leaves no room for games that are made soley for the adult population, and causes Mortal Kombat not to be availble for mature Australian gamers.
Mario just had his birthday so it was bound to be close, but The Legend of Zelda turned 25 this week. To celebrate this Japanese artist AG+ created this below image. It is epic, there is no other word to describe it.

A Gameslave Short for the Holiday
When the call goes out for a hero I seldom answer. When the masses are in trouble I do not immediately go to their aid. But when I hear my princess is in trouble I stir to action. I travel from castle to castle only to find a toadstool in your place. This does not deter me though, for you are my princess and I will save you. I fight the enemies I make the jumps I defeat the koopas all for you, my princess.
And when I have to learn an instrument and traverse time. When I have to enter temple after temple and solve their death traps I will do so without fail. I do not do this for the gorons, the zora or the kokiri. I do not defeat Ganon and his evil plans for the better of the world. I do it for my princess.
So when there is a danger, when the world is in peril, I am not the hero to seek. But if my princess has been taken let me know, and I will cross the world, galaxies and time to rescue her.
In space, no one can hear you scream, but a space station is an entirely different matter, which is where Issac has found himself. Three years have passed (in game) since the events of the original Dead Space, so let us do a quick recap for those that don’t know. Issac Clark is an engineer that was sent out to do repairs on the USG Isimura, a planet cracker space ship. His girlfriend is on this ship so this works for him as this is the first time in months that he gets to see her. He gets to there, finds everyone dead and is almost immediately attacked by an alien with long scythe like arms. Long story short there is a strange “marker” that is causing these things to be created and causes people to go insane. His girlfriend is dead (spoiler, sorry) and it is up to him to destroy the marker, which by the way is the religious simple of the Unitarians. He destroys it, escapes and lives happily ever after.
Ok, that last part was made up...
