Tired of looking at the best stuff to come out of the Consumer Electronics Show? Want a little more fun in your life? Well, here's a sampling of stuff you can't believe anyone even thought of -- a stupendous-sized game controller, how to wear a smartphone on your head and a company that thinks you would pay to play tic-tac-toe.

It seems like few games today are difficult enough to have the humbling experience of dying near the beginning of the game.  With the game I’ve been playing lately, they’ve taken it one step further.  The very first thing you see in the game is a shot of your corpse.  Like it or not, you’ve died, even before getting started. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is not about whether you can survive, but how you use the afterlife that is given to you.

Not very often do gamers bear witness to a game quite like ilomilo. On the surface it looks like a game aimed primarily at children, but once you get deep down into the aesthetics of it you realize that this SouthEnd Interactive title was made to bring the inner child out of all of us.

In my early childhood, my siblings had a lot to do with how my taste in movies was shaped.  One of my favorites, still to this day, is Back to the Future.  When Telltale announced they were going to make a new adventure game that extends the beloved series, I was understandably cautious, but still very excited.  When the game launched in late December, I took the plunge and now I’m in it for the long haul.  How do I feel about my purchase, being a long-time fan of the series?  Read on to find out.

Was that an editorial comment our friends at MusicSkins were making about the fleeting nature of fame on this promotion for smartphone skins? I mean, why promote the removability of the skins so highly?

There were a lot of awesome games released in 2010.  Five in particular really piqued my interest throughout the year however, and I spent the last month playing the games that came before them.  To review, my favorites of the past year were as follows:  Mass Effect 2, Heavy Rain, Kirby’s Epic Yarn, Red Dead Redemption and God of War III.  Now, the time has come for me to nit pick my way to deciding which among them was my favorite of the year.  Hit the jump to join me on this grand journey through last years best.

Most games share quite a bit in common with the one that came before it and we’ve seen quite a bit of that with all the other titles in the Pre-Game of the Year line.  Oddly, with Red Dead Revolver, it and Red Dead Redemption actually have very little in common, aside from the obvious similarity in setting.  So, where did one of my personal favorite games of this year come from and why is it so wacky?

It was the year 2000 and everyone was still getting over the whole Y2K thing and playing with their N64s.  It was then that Nintendo released the next game on my list, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, which was the predecessor for this years awesome title Kirby’s Epic Yarn.  Now, before the emails start getting written, I do realize that there have been a huge amount of games in the Kirby series in-between these two titles.  Fact of the matter is, all of those games were made on portable platforms, which makes Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards the last full console release for Kirby.
