2K Sport’s 10th Anniversary edition of NBA 2K10 is huge, and I’m not exaggerating by any means, as it may well be the biggest bundle for a limited-edition game ever.

Unveiled today, the $99.99 10th Anniversary package comes with the game (duh), an exclusive Kobe Bryant figurine by McFarlane Toys, a Kobe Bryant poster, a video about the NBA 2K series, and an account to a special VIP online lobby for the game called the “Gold Room”.

Oh, don’t let me forget to mention that the package also comes with a storage locker that stores 20 games. Nope, you didn’t read that wrong. The game actually comes with storage locker fit to hold 20 games. Now do you believe me when I say this anniversary package is huge?

I’ve never had the pleasure of playing the Tropico games, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve become a bigger fan of sim games, so Tropico 3 caught my eye a while ago. The closed beta is either starting soon or has already started, so you can go sign up for a chance to get your Tropico on.

The Punisher: No Mercy will be available on the PlayStation Store on July 2nd for $10. I really hope there’s a demo. I’m interested because of my love for The Punisher, but I also have a love/hate relationship with first-person shooters. When done right, it’s one of my favorite genres, but more often than not it’s done wrong.

The 1 Vs. 100 beta has been going on for some time now but it’s only been available to Xbox Live Gold subscribers, and if you’re a cheapskate like me, that’s a problem.

My favorite part of this is that they kept all of their postal reciepts. You need to be diligent with your finances, even if you’re a filthy criminal!

Man what’s with all these Jimmy Fallon-related stories that we’ve been posting lately? I don’t even like the guy that much! I don’t know how I feel about Tiger Woods, though.

Red Steel for the Nintendo Wii wasn’t terrible. I don’t think it was good, necessarily, but for being the first of its kind, it was fun. Red Steel 2 will make use of the Wii MotionPlus and the devs want to make sure that shit is off the hook. Read more…

Lego bricks are awesome. Just look at this damn thing. Mad props to dm_meister for constructing such an awesome tribute to an awesome character. Mad, rage-filled props.

Oh, Vin Diesel. Even though I find it somewhat amusing that you feel the need to star in all of the games that you make, I actually don’t mind it when that game turns out to be pretty decent. The real question here is whether or not people are willing to pay full price for what is essentially a last-gen game with a facelift and an expansion pack. Do you really think your game is that good? Read more…

I jump with joy any time that video games are brought up in a good light, and this is no exception.

The Proudmoore server held its 5th annual Gay Pride March a few days ago. This probably makes me sound really dorky, but seeing Horde and Alliance march together like that is a pretty powerful site, even if it’s just a video game. That’s right, I’m a nerd. Deal with it.
