Okay who’s the wise guy that voted for Skyrim? Creating a list of the top 10 games for any given console is a difficult task. With the Nintendo 3DS, there are more than 1,000 titles eligible to make said list, covering everything from the console heavyweights likeSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DSall the way down to the small, obscure gems that blessed the 3DS eShop, likeAttack of the Friday Monsters!With such a vast and eclectic catalog, I doubt any two top 10 lists would look exactly the same....

Haha, what? The Wii U often gets the shaft in terms of DLC. It either gets it late, not at all, or is left completely in the wind as to what the status is. Nearly every major publisher has pulled one of these moves, most notably Activision for itsCall of Dutyseries. But wait! There is light at the end of the tunnel, Wii U owners.

Twitter account AllGamesDelta has combed through the trademark filing and highlighted the spot where “video game cartridges” is listed....

Back in early August, an eBay seller put up an auction for anXbox 360 consolesigned by former Alaska governess and 2008 Republican candidate for vice-president, Sarah Palin. The starting bid for this bit of culture clash? A cool $1.1 million. The auction was quietly de-listed and we never bothered to post about it, deeming it the non-story that it is. But it’s now the middle of the night, news is slow, the signed 360 has reared its head again (much like Palin herself keeps doing) and I really need to make a living somehow....
