DS Features

Have you ever gone to shake someone's hand and thought 'wow, those are pretty hands'? Chances are they're a secret hand model - someone who has photos taken of their hands for a living. They're all over gaming's press shots, being sexy. 
See the good and the bad right here.

Who the hell is Justin Bieber? Until recently, we cared less about Bieber than we did Tara Reid's career plans, but the kid has been a "trending topic" on Twitter for the last fifty years, so we had to find out. An office-wide investigation revealed that he's a doe-eyed 16-year-old Canadian pop star and protégée of Usher who sings auditory barf at pre-teen girls (who all have giant girl boners for him).

Nintendo 3DS came as a surprise. The current generation has been going along so steadily, with only slimmer, lighter versions of the current crop counting as 'new hardware' since PS3 launched in late 2006. But can a whole wealth of new consoles be on the near horizon? Forget the telescope - they're in plain sight.

Nintendo's newly-announced 3DS handheld will feature 3D-effect graphics without the need for glasses. This is known as 'autostereoscopy', which sounds more like a CD player that automatically copies CDs than seeing Mario pop out of the screen at you, but there you go.

So let's look at how 3D could be achieved - and is already being achieved and whether they're likely to be 'the one' or not.

Earlier today Nintendo unintentionally revealed its next handheld - the Nintendo 3DS, a device that will employ 3D effects without any fancy glasses. Word is it arrives in 2011 (and will probably be teased during this year's E3), which got me thinking about the launch of the original DS. Specifically, how shit the first year was (Canvas Curse aside), and it wasn't until mid 2005 that we saw the first wave of ass-kicking titles. The first of which was Advance Wars Dual Strike.

Video games can be cruel and other gamers are assholes. So it's little wonder that we get irrationally enraged from time to time. We blow up. We calm down. We move on. But for some unfortunate gamers, their outbursts are captured and - in the spirit of sharing the rage around - unkindly posted on YouTube. And these are 10 of the loudest, funniest, offensive, disturbing and truly psychotic gamer rages we could find.

Bizarrely, Nintendo has confirmed the existence of Nintendo 3DS - the successor to the champion of handhelds, the DS. In a brief statement from their Japanese website, the gaming giant reveals the new machine will be launched before the end of March next year, be backwards compatible with DS and DSi games and will feature 3D effects without the need for special glasses.

That last one's got us stumped. Either it uses massively

Song of Storms was one of the most haunting and memorable songs in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and we’ve just come across a fun and easy way for you to re-experience this classic game tune. The four-part plan to master the Song of Storms comes from the blog of Andrew Tubman, and it’s a great way to add some Zelda-related nostalgia to your day. Our second project involves the Ocarina iPhone app, and will cost you

If there’s one thing us gamers like more than freezing our knackers off during midnight launches, it’s complaining. Everything sucks anyway, so we might as well hate on that clipping on level nine or how Nintendo ‘don’t get us’ anymore. So in honour of how rubbish games and everything about them clearly are, we present the top trends we all really, really, really love to bitch about.
