I’m willing to say that Zim And Zou’s papercraft Game Boy is the greatest papercraft Game Boy ever. Ever. A prestigious award full of tough competition, I know. I say this for two reasons: 1) the choice of funky colors was a wise one, and 2)it looks photorealistic. Mission accomplished, I’d say. And if you aren’t digging the neon color palette — what’s wrong with you? — there’s an equally impressive standard Game Boy model too....

THQ has taken pre-E3 as the opportunity to finally reveal more information onMarvel Super Hero Squad, an action title based on the upcoming Cartoon Network animated series,The Super Hero Squad Show. If you’re screaming “This isMarvel Ultimate Alliancefor babies!” you might not be that far off. The series and game definitely looks be skewing a bit younger, but I won’t lie and say it doesn’t have my attention. The tiny little versions of the game’s playable heroes and villains — Captain America, Dr....

Easily my biggest surprise from Ubidays wasMy Weight Loss Coachfor the Nintendo DS. When the game was first announced, I never gave it a second thought. I figured it was going to be some kind of quick and simpleBrain AgemeetsWii Fittype game. As it turns out, there’s a lot more toMy Weight Loss Coachthan I had originally assumed. The game isn’t focusing on players to just go work out every day....

If you’re down for this Collector’s Edition or even just the standard edition, you might be interested in the pre-order bonuses....

Anyone out there Singstar’n? I know they’re all about it in the UK, but the PS3 titles are bargain bin babies these days around these parts. It’s not a bad game, but I guess it just hasn’t caught on here as well as it did over there. If you are aSingstarplayer, you might be interested to hear that Sony has merged the UK and US Singstar stores.GamesIndustrysays that they’re no longer split, and now the US store has the songs they previously could not access from Universal’s catalog....

Vib Ribbonwas awesome, and is still one of my favorite games in my retro CD-based games collection. No, it doesn’t have shaved headedarmy manzrunning around in spacesuits with laser guns, but I still love it, and I think I love everyone I’ve ever met that loves it. I don’t know Robert Böhnke’s yet, but I think I love him too. His homage to the Japanese PlayStation classic game is calledVib Riboff....

The nextFinal FantasyMMO will be a hard sell for some. The last was wicked slow and unrewarding. But it had some interesting and unique ideas, some of which will hopefully see the light of day again inFinal Fantasy XIV. It’ll be a bit before we know for sure — months after release even if the snorefest grind ofFFXIsees reimplementation — but we can at least say that the game lookspretty....

The adventures for games from two years ago comes into its final stretch, with the PC exclusivesCrysis, and the expansion,Crysis Warhead. Computer gaming is a strange and foreign beast to Storm, but the duty to Destructoid calls. Are these Crytek-created games worth his computer crashing at every turn, or is it just a beautiful disaster?
