Video games like Mortal Kombat and Grand Theft Auto were singled out during the trial for the violent first-person Read more
Like the Wii but saddened by its lack of salon-centric games? Then mope no more, my compatriot, for Redken has created Busy Scissors, a new game that "allows consumers to perm, color, shampoo, cut, blow dry, and style hair." You work your way up in the digital salon by helping "unlock each client’s inner potential by finding their unique outward style." The game hasn't hit stores yet, but you Read more
I loved this game when it first exploded onto the scene in the '90s — can you name it? Read more
Lingerie based on a video game? Really? Really. Although I'm all about dressing up like my favorite video game characters on Halloween, I'm not too sure I can get behind this lingerie collection based on the Wii title No More Heroes 2. Sure, the gals in the game are wearing such garments (it's rated M for a reason, folks), and it is almost Comic-Con time (not that you'd want to go outside in any Read more

Coming with 45 songs to choose from (either stocked, or as downloads) you have a serious collection of playable music from the best band, like ever. I can't tell you how excited I've been for this to be released Read more
If we could all really "digest" the message of a healthy lifestyle/diet from a video game, life would truly be sweet. So sweet in fact we would probably never overindulge in cake and milkshakes. Ahhhh, what a dreamer I can be. Cake, milkshakes and even french fries are just a few of the items to avoid while playing the online video game produced by Subway titled Pants Dance. The pants in the Read more
It's a little less demanding, but all the more fulfilling. Will Ferrell has his game face on already, I'm sure... Read more
If you have ever watched Hell's Kitchen and wished you were on the receiving end of one of Gordon Ramsay's tirades, then you're in luck: Gamemaker Ludia is cooking up an interactive version of Hell's Kitchen. The game will actually feature Ramsay's voice and will contain some of his favorite recipes. It will be available on "all major platforms including PC, console and mobile," and will be Read more
This Oedipus-inspired commercial for Wilkinson Sword Quattro Titanium Razors is a bit much, but I must admit, the "drama" that unfolds here is pretty compelling. C'mon, a bitter baby who busts out Matrix moves on his defensive daddy while vying for his mama's mojo? Sounds like a good, old-fashioned head case of a good time to me! (If you'd like to play the actual videogame, click here, skip the Read more
