Your parents can probably tell you exactly what they were doing when they heard that man had walked on the moon. And their parents doubtless told them exactly where they were when, um, the Magna Carta was signed (hi, not a history major). And in turn, come June 7, you'll be party to another epoch-shattering event: a major corporation announcing their next product line! By which we mean, of course, that Nintendo will be unveiling their new console at E3, and they want you to watch...
The Zelda games contain a plenitude of both real-world things (slingshots, animal abuse, time-travel) and things so ridiculously-named as to obviously be fake (oktoroks, tektites, and leevers). The musically-uneducated may have assumed that something as crazy-sounding as an "ocarina" must obviously be one of the latter. But some special editions of the 3DS version look to be packaged with a real ocarina...
Are video games art? Thank you, please stop asking. Should the question of "are video games art" be debated on Fox News by shiny middle-aged white dudes hollering confusedly about "taxpayer money?" Now there's a proposition to make you wish that whole Rapture thing had panned out...
George Leutz is not the world's luckiest gamer. He is however, damnably persistent. On Saturday, he made his second attempt to beat the 28-year-old Q*bert world record. He failed, due to fatigue. But this wasn't just a quick score attack. Leutz conceeded defeat after a brain-shattering 54 hours at the cabinet.
Want to know how much more he'd have had to have done to attain a new record? And how horrific his previous failure at the record-attempt was? And why he's sounding increasingly like video gaming's Captain Ahab? Click on.

This has got to be one of the slowest news days in gamz jarnlist history. Perhaps this is the calm before the storm that’s E3, but in the meantime we’ll entertain you with news-like information. For example, Nintendo released to the press some “new” art for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. Technically almost all the images date back to 1998 and the original Ocarina, but these versions are of a higher quality than you’re likely to find elsewhere, and they still look great, so let’s celebrate these assets all the same...
If you happen to fall into the category of consumers who aren't tired of Harry Potter products or LEGO games, you'll no doubt be ecstatic to hear that Warner Bros. and TT Games have officially announced the coming arrival of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 for winter 2011 on every conceivable gaming platform, including the NGP...
Few will observe this collection of Atari-era game carts based on contemporary films and think, "what a novel idea!" (or worse, "JJ Abrams is going to get so sued!"). If it's contemporary and popular, it's inevitable that it'll get the "what if it were old?" treatment. However, as obvious jokes go, you can't fault these sleeves' fantastic attention to detail.
Graphic pranksters Penny Design – whose previous work...

The results aren't just thought-provoking: some are works of beauty almost worthy of games themselves...
