You may remember last weekend when Kotaku posted about the guys at cameronbanga.com who tried to make it through four Zelda games in 48 hours. Due to some glitches, they weren't able to squeeze in all four games but still managed to raise over $1200 for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. So, in an attempt to make up what they couldn't finish, the boys are at it again but this time they have given themselves eleven hours to complete Twilight Princess. The marathon gaming session will again benefit Child's Play and will be the first in a series of charity driven weekend gaming sessions.
January 7, 2008 - A half dozen vendors at CES 2008 in Las Vegas this week were showing off a variety of accessories for Nintendo's Wii console, some of them more licensed and legal than others.

The Xbox 360 version of BioShock has topped the latest Swedish multiformat sale chart, which is otherwise dominated by PC games.

If you've already played Twilight Princess, then looking back on the experience you may well reflect that the action, the emotion, and the immersion were all superb ¿ but could have been even better if only you'd had an actual sword and shield with which to strike and block during Link's frantic on-screen battles. And, if you've yet to play Twilight Princess, then the mere prospect of entering a game world more authentically armed might just be the draw you've been waiting for.
Kotaku have found that you can buy a full size Hylian Shield and even a Master Sword from TrueSwords.com for $75 and $44 respectively.
