So I am browsing around the interwebs and while on Topless Robot I find the following video.  Being a fan of the Mass Effect series that I am I was unable to pass this one up, so here you are "Commander Shepard: The Official Music Video".

So Nintendo's latest iteration of the Nintendo DS line, the 3DS has launched in Japan.  They had 400,000 units they had for their loyal minons fans sold out quickly.  According to sources most of the these units had been sold out for since they started taking pre-orders, but the places that where not sold of from pre-orders had lines 2,000 people long.  So is this what we are looking forward to here in a months time?

Well if you are planning on getting a 3DS you might want to know what games you will be playing when it is released and we got you covered.  But before you get yours hopes up, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is not on the list.

No real surprise here given their history, but Australia has found that Mortal Kombat does not fit into it's limited rating system, and has therefore been banned from entering the country legally.  This is mostly due to the outdated notion that the Austrailian parlament has about games being only for kids since their highest rating for games is still MA 15+. While many groups have tried to get an MA 18+ rating into the Australian system these attempts have so far failed.  This leaves no room for games that are made soley for the adult population, and causes Mortal Kombat not to be availble for mature Australian gamers.

Mario just had his birthday so it was bound to be close, but The Legend of Zelda turned 25 this week.  To celebrate this Japanese artist AG+ created this below image.  It is epic, there is no other word to describe it.
