Street Figher II Turbo - HD Remix

Capcom has re-released onto home consoles the classic Street Fighter II Turbo, except with revamped HD graphics. In short, the graphics look nothing short of beautiful now, while the already brilliant gameplay that we're all familiar with remains the same.

Available for download from Xbox Live Marketplace and Wii Online Store today (Wednesday 26th November).

Chopstick Bra!!

Perverts of the world rejoice! Japanese fashion has given us yet another reason for perverts to check out the cleavage of the female gender (and the male gender too if you happen to unfortunately endowed in that area). You see, some crazy designers have come up with the ever imaginative idea of a chopstick inspired bra. No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you - the chopstick bra (or 'My Hashi Bra' as it's affectionately called) houses a portable pair of collapsible chopsticks which can be stored... in the middle of your cleavage?? Ok, so it sounds super painful, but hey, fashion's never been about comfort. A quick look at mini skirts and a 10 inch pair of heels will tell you that. Admittedly having a pair of chopsticks on you all the time could be convenient, but how the hell you'd get this out discreetly in a public restaurant I have no idea...

Though if the chopstick idea alone wasn't freaky enough, there's more! The bra comes heavily Japanese cuisine styled - the left cup is a lovely traditional Japanese black and red miso bowl, and the right cup is a rice bowl.

Now for the extreme minority for whom this has piqued their interest, don't feel bad - it's eco friendly as the reusable pair of chopsticks housed in the fashion bra is directed at reducing the usage of the millions of disposable chopsticks that get used and trashed each year.

Check out the link for some more pictures and a video demonstration.

Worst. Name. Ever.

Good God. His parents have gotta be some damn sadistic bastards to have called him that... This poor sod joins the ranks along with Hugh Jass, Seymour Butz, Anita Bath and Amanda Huggenkiss... Poor fella!

Guitar Hero: World Tour

Guitar Hero - the latest installment of rhythm-action games that seem to be all the range these days. It started off innocently with DDR, then catapulted to other popular titles such as Drummania, SingStar and Guitar Hero. The basic formula worked a treat, with all the aforementioned titles spawning sequels and spin-offs faster than an asian couple before China mandated the one child policy.

So yeah, the rhythm-action game market was getting a bit boring and was well overdue for a change. Cue Guitar Hero: World Tour. Released just a week ago on November the 12th, World Tour combines SingStar, Drummania and Guitar Hero into the one game!!! Neversoft's latest offering comes packaged with a microphone, guitar and a somewhat realistic drum controller to make all your high school band fantasies come true. 4 players can now play simultaneously (vocals, guitar, bass and drums) to simulate a true band experience. Are you excited yet? =p


However, the game doesn't come at a low cost. Most of the younger gamer market will baulk at the high $329.95 price tag which retailers are charging for the whole glorious package. Guitar Hero definitely is very pricey by most people's standards - you could pick up the base model of the Xbox 360 for this price! But the game does come with one very cool perk - contrary to the previous drum games that have been released, the Expert difficulty of the drums in World Tour is supposedly so realistic that it virtually imitates perfectly the drum track to the master recordings of the original song!!! In other words - if you can play through the Expert difficulty of the drums in Guitar Hero: World Tour, you can just about play the drums for real! Pretty cool, eh?

Latest reports of the game indicate that Guitar Hero has finally ported to the arcade domain instead of being shackled down to home console owners. Masters of the game will finally be able to strut their stuff out in public and pit themselves head to head in the arcade arena! Rock on!
