Watch this ModNation Racers trailer unless you hate cuteness

blogdig.net — 2009-07-11T02:00:00-04:00

ModNation Racers is a PlayStation 3 exclusive I have had my eyes on since, well, it was announced at E3 2009. To sum the experience up, it's an adorable-looking kart racer with a strong emphasis on user-generated content.Time and time again, people have even compared it to LittleBigPlanet, which makes sense, but I doubt we'll see Level 1-1 faithfully recreated in ModNation Racers (prove me wrong). Long story short, the creation tools the game provides you with look not only powerful,

Sadly, like the actual statue (which is only up for another month or so), this is also a limited offer, as he's only going to be there until July 23.

Crummy Wii Accessories Finally Triple-Jump The Shark [Wii]

Get a load of this. It's a Wii accessory kit that contains an incredible 38 pieces. 38! Enough to form a shitty white plastic Voltron, Devastator and Predaking, with enough left over to scrape together a Defensor while you're at it. It's manufactured by Chinese company Areus, and seems to be their "21 in 1" pack with a few additions, namely what looks like a fishing rod, a baseball bat, golf clubs and even some little Wii Remote/mobile phone charms. When will this Wii accessory arms race end?

GamerVision got to check out the new G.I. Joe game recently. While checking out the game, they did what any true journalist would have done and asked the developers if the infamous G.I.
