3DS Update Lets You Get Organized
There has been a metric poop ton of 3DS games and apps worth downloading, but the more you snatched up, the harder it became to access your stuff. The system’s aggravating interface lined up your games into a never-ending row of boxes, making it take forever to get to whatever you’re looking for. But, if you download the latest system update, you can finally reshape the menu.
NBA Baller Beats Game Comes With Its Own Basketball
If you thought Kinect Star Wars was weird and embarrassing, get a load of NBA Baller Beats. The Xbox 360 Kinect exclusive comes with its own basketball that you bounce in time to onscreen prompts.
Design Your Own ‘Portal 2′ Levels!
If you’ve romped your way through all the entirety of the deviously challenging Portal 2 and are hungry for more, there’s no sense in waiting around for Valve to make another game. Starting May 8, you’ll be able to deal with your Portal-ual frustration the same way you do your sexual frustration — by taking matters into your own hands.
‘Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective’ Mobile Game Review
The fact that a game is great on a DS doesn’t mean its iOS port will be as impressive, or even playable. Some people yearn for Nintendo-sanctioned Mario Kart or Metroid to come to mobile, but that prospect sickens us. Some games just require buttons. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, though, is on the opposite end of the spectrum. It plays as though it was built from the ground up for iStuff.

Carmen Electra Wants You To Poker
Now that Carmen Electra is 40, she seems a little more attainable. Like, maybe, she’s got less going on than when she was in her prime and would be willing to play dirty games with us online.
Calvin Johnson is ‘Madden NFL 13′ Cover Boy — Pray For Him
Calvin Johnson did the impossible last season, racking up 1,681 yards, 16 touchdowns and the first playoff appearance for the Detroit Lions since leather helmets went out of style. His reward for those accomplishments is the devilish curse brought on by the Madden NFL cover. Ask Peyton Hillis how last year’s cover appearance worked out for him.
Japanese Nintendo 3DS Game Is Overflowing With Massive Anime Boobs
Ah, Japan. A land where sexual self-exploration and gaming go hand in… pants. The Senran Kagura franchise, in which you control big-boobed female ninjas who lose more clothing the more damage they take, embraces its dirtiness.
EA Tells Gus To Get Off The ‘Madden’ Bus, ’13′s Announcers Will Be Wonder-Phil
We like to knock EA Sports for releasing the same games year after year, so it’s only fair to give up some props when the developer recognizes a major problem and makes a wholesale change. While Cris Collinsworth and Gus Johnson are two of the best football broadcasters out there, they were boring and inconsistent in the recent Madden games.

‘Scarface’ Mobile Game Review
Scarface for iOS works a lot better as an unintended comedy than it does as a tribute to the iconic 1983 film.
PlayStation Vita Is Cheaper, But Not Because Sony Wants It That Way
Sony’s PlayStation Vita has struggled out of the gate, with slow sales and a sad little trickle of software to support it. The most telling sign of the device’s lack of popularity is you just don’t see it very often when you’re out and about. Those who’ve managed to wait a couple months to pick one up are in luck, with used copies dipping to as low as $162 at times.
Skype Really Gets Around, Spreads Its Seed To Vita
Like Netflix, Skype is a dirty tramp of the app world. Not long after we spotted it over in the corner hitting on the Xbox, now it’s gone and jumped the bones of our PlayStation Vitas. And it’s already gotten up on just about every smartphone and tablet known to man.
Nintendo Fixes ‘Mario Kart 7′ Cheat
When you’re playing the 3DS game Mario Kart 7 online, and a bunch of people vote for Wuhu Mountain Loop, you feel like the victims in ‘A Clockwork Orange’ when the Droogs start to surround them in a back alley. The track is plagued with an exploit that lets players jump off a cliff and skip half the course, screwing over anyone who plays fair.
