Thanks to everyone that stayed up late with us this past Saturday night for our 12 @ 12 sale. We sold out of all inventory within about 8 or 9 minutes!
We were so happy with the sale we have decided to hold it again on Wednesday, January 12 at midnight Eastern Standard Time. We all know you gamers stay up late and play so a midnight sale should be a piece of cake! Who knows, maybe there might be more controllers this time!
Congratulations to Seth who snagged a Standard controller for $2 and to Jonathon who picked up 2 controllers. With one 12 @ 12 under our belts now, we will have the kinks worked out for next time. No other coupon codes will be valid during the sale and there is a limit of 1 controller per customer.
Thanks again everyone and wishing you all very evil holidays!

Gaming Review View - Zombie Farm!
Forget Farmville. This Halloween, try out Zombie Farm for your iPhone or iTouch! Instead of farming cabbage, or broccoli, or whatever new vegetable Zynga has come out with, plant, harvest, and raise your zombies to create your own evil empire.
Although visually almost identical to Farmville, Zombie Farm provides a little more humor to an already relatively addictive concept. Beginning the game, as an evil farmer you must choose between planting crops or zombies. After, just like in Farmville, you sell your zombies or crops to generate money to plant more. Is it redundant and mindless, just like FarmVille? Yes. But is it way cooler because it features zombies,

INTRODUCING THE NEW EVIL-DPAD FROM EVIL CONTROLLERS
Well it's finally out, we've been excited for it's release for awhile now and it really couldn't have come out at a better time for you guys. Black Ops is just around the corner and Super Meat Boy is $10 until the end of the month. Both of these games, while massively different, benefit from our Evil D-pad.
While shooters may not use the d-pad as often as the analog sticks, typically used for aiming and movement, the d-pad is still an essential part of the experience. Anyone that's played Gears of War to a competitive degree testify that the original Microsoft d-pad is often a failure in critical moments. Bungie ditched the use of the

Games: Previews of Sonic 4
It's been a long time since Sega has made a respectable Sonic game. Some gamers argue that Sonic's foray into the third dimension was when it went down hill, but personally I'd say it started after Sonic Adventure 2, around the time Shadow the Hedgehog got his own game (2005). I'm not sure that we needed a game that was aesthetically Sonic meets Devil May Cry. Sega just continued to make bad decision after bad decision, failing to maintain the degree of polish a third party developer should have for their flagship series. Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 was a nest of bugs and glitches while offering nothing new. Maybe they thought they didn't need to do anything, but slap Sonic on a title's name. If that's the case they've learned their lesson the hard way.
When Sonic Unleashed came out Sonic fans finally got a polished looking Sonic game and it made a lot of gamers wonder, is the Sonic gameplay just not relevant these days? Sonic Unleashed, werehog stages

Games - Lots of lots of Halo Game Content
It's no secret, sequels kill. On the business end, sequels just make sense; gamers want them and investors can have faith that a follow up to a successful game will be equally successful. Sequels get green lit on a regular basis, but how often is too often?
Last week Phil Spencer, Corporate Vice President for Microsoft Game Studios, told IGN that, "There's no explicit strategy that says we're to ship a Halo game every year. I will say I think one Halo game every three years -- which was kind of our old cadence "€œ is probably not frequent enough."
Spencer goes on to explain that the issue is staying

Games - Devil May Cry Revamp looks like a certain movie...like Scott Pilgrim
At the Tokyo Game Show, Ninja Theory (makers of games like Heavenly Sword on the PS3) has given us a glimpse on their take on the series Devil May Cry, after Capcom gave them permission to take the reins on it and give it some innovation.
Looks a bit like Matthew Patel from "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World"Â, doesn't he? The reason behind this according to Ninja Theory was that wanted to redesign the character and the game to better appeal to consumers of today, (this blogger feels really old right now). Immediately after the release the entire gamer blogging world went into some kind of civil war. A lot of people cheering it on

Industry News - Obama's connections with technology
Regardless of how you feel about Obama or his politics he hasn't been known to be a huge gaming advocate, but he has been known as someone that understands technology. Upon entering the White House he openly complained about the technological limitations of the White House saying, "It is kind of like going from an Xbox to an Atari."Â
Obama has always had an appreciation and understanding of technology, his campaign was run by people that were technologically savvy and his methods changed the way in which future presidential campaigns will be run. However, during his first years, videogames were something Obama just wasn't familiar with, in his
