The Tubes are abuzz with speculation, over a series of alleged patent applications made by Nintendo that extend the functionality of the Wii Remote. The question is, what do these diagrams really represent?
I think I can make a few guesses.
This looks like a golf club — or a Jai Alai paddle. Or badminton. Or maybe something for Sepak Takraw. Or curling? Or perhaps it’s a spatula for the next Cooking Mama. Continued…
Well, it’s only 336 shopping days until Christmas. And every year I get started too late on my Worst Games of the Year list. So this time, I’m not procrastinating – in fact I’m getting the earliest possible start.

Few know there are tales of horror unique to the world of videogaming. Here are ten blood-curdling tales of gaming horror and the macabre. Read on — only if you dare! Continued…
