I just reported earlier that there will be a weekend full of opportunities for you to win yourself a Fortune Hunter Edition for Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Apparently, if you're the impatient type (or if you feel like you're the type who'll NEVER win anything for free), then head over to eBay right now. Yes, they've got one up already.


Thanks to Erick M. for the tip!

Yes, yes, I know. We don't have a Dreamcast blog. Nonetheless, this bit of news is too exciting to pass up. Apparently, not all publishers have let go of the Dreamcast dream, choosing to still make games for it despite the console having been declared clinically dead years ago. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Redspotgames' 10th year Dreamcast anniversary offering: Rush Rush Rally Racing. And no, this is not a hoax.

Hardcore fans of The Beatles may want to have a gander at this special edition Xbox 360 that Microsoft is offering up as a tie-in for The Beatles: Rock Band (PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii). Even if you don't like the band you might still want to have a go at it. It's for charity after all.

Here's a little something for retro-gaming fans. Tipster Jamie pointed us to this one in a million Nintendo NES Desktop Mini ITX PC Media Centre up for bidding on eBay. The starting bid is at UK£ 300 and you only have four days and 17 hours to make it all yours.


Thanks for the tip, Jamie!

Wanted to go to BioShock 2's (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) beachcomber event but wasn't able to? Aww, too bad, you missed out on their promotional Rapture Wine Bottle. Not to worry, though. Not only do you have the rest of the summer to stage your own beach event, you also still have a chance to own the BioShock 2 bottles if you head to eBay right now. Check them out after the jump.

I like Overlord and I love freebies, so this Overlord pre-order promo from GameStop is definitely relevant to my interests. See, anyone who pre-orders a copy of Overlord II, Overlord Dark Legend and Overlord Minions from GameStop will receive one of four different minion figurines.

Get a kick out of these kicks - it's a pair of Custom Xbox Nike Dunks, with which you can honestly say that you could literally put on your gaming shoes. Except there's one small hurdle: the US$ 2500 price tag. Imagine all the Xboxes you can get with that kind of money. But if you are, by any chance, filthy rich and you love Xbox, go and make your bid on eBay right now.

Can't find an affordable Street Fighter IV Fight Pad anywhere? Well, if you aren't averse to owning a second copy of Street Fighter IV then you might want to check out the new PC version bundle that Capcom's launching in July.

Here's another example of outstanding gamer creativity and workmanship. What appeared to be just another wooden coffee table soon became a wireless arcade joystick for the Xbox 360, that's after some serious mod work and a hell lot of wiring.

The week was a pretty good one for the PSP homebrew scene, punctuated by the release of a new iR Shell. It's not quite the uber cool "advanced multi-tasking" iR Shell just yet, but it does add a couple more features to an already awesome piece of 'brew. The release ratio was still skewed heavily towards the applications, but a couple of good homebrew games did get released as well. Let's get right on down to the rundown!
