New Medal of Honor pulled from on-base GameStop stores
If you’re on a military base and have been aching to play the new Medal of Honor game, you’re going to have to get it somewhere else, because on-base GameStop stores have pulled the game from their shelves.
New Batman: Arkham City screens are catty and two-faced
Now, I understand that the title might sound like an ex-girlfriend, but I assure you that these are completely, 100% Arkham City-related. No tears and sleepless nights here, unless you’re afraid of the Big Bad Bat.
They used to be on this Flickr account, but it seems that our friend The Joker has made off with them. Luckily, I snagged ‘em before they went away.
Arkham City is shaping up to be amazing. Check these bad boys out. They show off Catwoman, Harley, Two-Face and the Caped Crusader himself.

Random Awesomeness: Creepy Pokémon hack
Thanks to Tiny Cartridge, I’ve stumbled upon some really cool Pokémon-related items, but I find this to be the best of the lot. I’m not sure if this cartridge exists anymore, or even if it ever existed, but the bootleg game/art-hack makes for an interesting tale at the very least. Sounds like something that would originate on 4chan, but who can say for sure? The internet is full of great storytellers.

Random Awesomeness: Epic Gaming History Rap

Nerd culture is a wonderful thing, especially when songs are being made about comics, animation and video games. From Kirby Krackle to Johnathan Coulton, there’s a vast array of game related music to be found. And here’s one of them.
Dan Bull, “The king of British geek rap”, relates his life in gaming through the medium of song. Rap to be more specific. There’s a lot of delicious nostalgia, as well as two decades of gaming packed into four minutes. He’s a damned good rapper too!
Enjoy

Destruction Derby – The Emulator Review With Jason Heine
Hello friends. Today I am attending a class where I will be making a speech! However, I made a little mistake as I made a wrong turn and ended up in a class dedicated in helping reckless drivers drive safely!
I don’t know why everyone has a problem with crashing, I learned how to drive early on by playing Destruction Derby for PlayStation 1! I got all my crashing out of the way early with this game.
Enjoy the review!

I am reviewing wireless controllers spanning across 3 generations of consoles! Please enjoy the show guys!
Review: Hydro Thunder Hurricane (360)
Genre: Arcade Racer | Developer: Vector Unit | Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
Platform: Xbox Live Arcade | Players: (Offline) 1-4 (Online (1-6) | Rating: PEGI 12
Back in the late 90s, at a time when arcades were still being populated with people, Hydro Thunder was a well liked but by no means stand-out arcade title, and the franchise held enough weight to see it ported over to the popular consoles of the time.
10 years later, with the arcades of yore little more than a memory for most of us, Microsoft Game Studios and Vector Unit are attempting to bring those fondly remembered arcade experiences into the sitting room. Much to our surprise, this well meaning endeavour doesn’t turn out to be an entirely futile effort.
