Rewind back to late 1998. The GBC was launching and geeky editors like ourselves were having a field day. We already managed to convince our good pal Ben Heck to build another Xbox 360 laptop, so it was only a matter of time before we started brainstorming on how the hell we could possibly fit a Gameboy Color into a "portable" enclosure. That's the part where Ben stepped up his game and worked his magic -- for ten years -- to build... the Gameboy Color Laptop!
The essential specs:
* 2-inch LCD screen with 144i resolution, no backlight yet
* HDMI-DVI connection (same as Xbox 360 laptop)
* Built-in buttons, stereo speakers, headphone jack
* Size: 17 x 13.75 x 3-inches
* Weight: 16 pounds!
You want this one of a kind piece of kit for your very own, Nintendo fanboys? You got it. We're auctioning this thing for slavery real soon, so watch out for details. And, naturally, big ups to our pal Ben Heck for the long hours and love he put into this thing. The man is truly a hero of ours, so be sure to hit up his site to check out his other projects, as well as the other instructional stuff he's done.

Recently Rock Band developer Harmonix said that if Wii wanted DLC for Rock Band, it needed a HDD. It looks like Nintendo finally gave in. Starting April 26, you will be able to purchase Wii's add-on HDD, which comes in two flavors. The 256MB is $49.99, but you can go for the recommended 1.2GB which is $129.99. Nintendo hopes to expand the gaming experience with the HDD, as a rep said "Gamers wanted the space. We gave it to them. JK LOL ROFLMAO FUCK OUR CUSTOMERZ." The picture above shows the add-on as a man is hooking it to a Wii. Finally, we can all ditch those pesky SD cards.

Well it seems EA Sports ditched John Madden, the old guy who talks alot. They planned to use new announcers, but they now use a new game title. Since he probably is dead, the Madden series is being renamed to Michael Vick Football. Michael Vick is obviously the cover player, although he is not a big fan of videogames. Records show that the only game he plays is Nintendogs which he calls "a simulation". The game will be just like every other Madden game, exactly the same as the year before it. Michael Vick Football '09 is still extremely anticipated, as it is the only football franchise left.

This Eidos developed game is one to watch out for. You play as legendary Chris Crocker as he/she/it has to fight through a crowd of skimply dressed women who won't LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE! There are 12 stages, each getting progressively less fun throughout the game. The sixaxis was originally used to control Chris' fire shooting penis, but devs later found out the penis was not visible or was nonexistent and the feature was scrapped. The game comes in 2 packages, the censored version for $59.99 and the "Little Sausages Fun Pack" for $69.99, which is uncensored. Jack Thompson recently said "Why don't you just molest children directly rather than through Rockstar. It would be more personal that way." This is what developer Eidos is pretty much attempting to do, molest your children. This game could change gaming as we know it, because we have never had a game with a character who sucks so much cock. Except maybe Rengoku. That game sucked major dick.
Note: We do not hate gay people. We hate Chris Crocker. There is a difference.

This chart was taken off VGChartz, and wasn't really modified at all pretty much. PS3 is doomed in America unless Betamax comes back. Nuff said.

We got this from a Missouri K-Mart ad, confirming Sony has planned a redesign to the PSP called the Slim and Lite and Small. We have no word on pricing yet. It looks like besides the fact the unit is half the size, the analog stick, square button, triangle button, and circle button have been removed, but an antenna was added for more location free support. Also, the screen is still widescreen and the resolution is the same, but you must turn the unit to the side at all times while using it because all game images will appear sideways. Innovation at it's best.

According to Nintendo Power, Sony's Metal Gear Solid hit game is definitely coming to Microsoft Xbox 360 this summer. However, This is not MGS4, for the demand for that game was far to low. Instead, Metal Gear Solid 1 for PS1 is being ported for 360. Due to the fact PS1 used CD technology and 360 only uses DVDs, MGS will come on 6 dual layer DVDs. The game will retail for $59.99, but a Legendary Edition has been announced for $129.99. The Legendary Edition comes with a disembodied walrus head that is wearing a replica of Solid Snake's eye patch. It also comes with a knife like the one Solid Snake used, so you can try all his kick-ass moves on your friends. We expect the game to be this summer's hottest seller if Lego Racers 3 doesn't come out.
UPDATE: There has been doubt to the reliability of this story. I can assure you this story came from the most reliable imaginary best friend I have. I also put an Xbox 360 logo in the corner of the picture to eliminate any doubt it is fake. Look it's a 360 logo, it has to be on 360!

That's right folks, if you play through every character's story 479 times after unlocking the nude cheat, then you will be able to play as the one and only Bill Cosby. He takes double the damage of every other character, but he can deploy a hilarous joke about fat kids at anytime during gameplay by swinging the Wiimote in a complete circle. You really have to unlock this character, he is quite possibly the only reason to own the game.

After playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl for awhile, we discovered that you can defeat ANYONE in Wii's best fighting game with these 5 simple strategies.
1. While playing against your opponent using his TV, wait 'til you are ahead then throw your Wiimote at the TV while in the middle of the preferrably timed match. You need to put some muscle in it, the screen must crack. Blame it on a faulty wrist-strap, and watch as your opponent cries in agony. Whether he is crying about you winning or the 4,000$ LCD HDTV his family saved up for, you won and that is all that matters.
2. Get naked. Take off your clothes as fast as possible. The opponent's concentration may fall rapidly. Works better if you are fat.
3. Unplug your opponent's controller if he/she is using a wired GameCube controller. If he asks you why his controller is unplugged, blame it on the wind. If he asks about wind being indoors, blame it on global warming. Nobody questions global warming.
4. Start a time match set for 10 minutes, start playing for a few minutes. Randomly break out in a fake epileptic seizure. DO NOT LET GO OF THE WIIMOTE. When your opponent calls 911 and the ambulance takes you to the hospital, keep holding the Wiimote. At hospital arrival, hold the Wiimote in the air and brag how you just won, because your friend put the Wiimote down to call 911 for you and the match should be over. He forfeited, and quitters are never tolerated. You win once again, give yourself a pat on the back.
5. Eat beans. Fart. Nuff said.
All these strategies work very well, you just can't lose. Have fun and remember, there is never a such thing as a good loser.

EPIC Games is well known for their hit game Gears of War, but they also license out the rights to use their Unreal Engine 3 to other developers. Unfortunately after paying $55 billion for the rights to the engine, many developers are finding that it "sucks a wet fart out of a fat chick's stinky ass" to quote Albert Einstien.
The first company that realized this was Silicon Knights who have been working on a game called Too Human for like 18 years. They recently sued Epic Games because nobody bought their crappy game and they wanted to blame the shitty Unreal 3 engine for it. Silicon Knights claims that certain assets of the engine are being withheld from them. What are they referring to exactly?
...Epic's Legendary Pubic Hair Pixel Shader Model 3.67
We recently contacted Epic, hoping they would enlighten us on why they are keeping it for themselves. Only after threatening CliffyB with a real chainsaw we got some answers.
GamePlop - "Why are you keeping the Legendary Pubic Hair Pixel Shader Model 3.67 for yourselves?"
CliffyB - "Well, Gears of war 2 is gonna raise the fucking bar man."
GamePlop - "Care to elaborate?"
CliffyB - "No."
GamePlop - "Are you sure?" *revs chainsaw*
CliffyB - "Ok ok, its for the ultra amazing shower scene with Marcus and Dom..WE ARE BRINING UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL OF DETAIL HERE, and those fuckers making Too Human aren't going to get shit from us.
You are gonna see everything in 1080p, its uber hot"
GamePlop -"KTHXBYE"
Is this the first lawsuit to come against Epic for their Unreal Engine 3, only time will tell, after all the only good looking game using the engine is Hour of Victory.
We here at GamePlop are also looking forward to Gears of War 2 even more after this interview.

At approximately 8:20am this morning Jack Thompson was hit by a GTA IV Rockstar Games delivery truck and has passed away. He was pronounced dead on the scene. Jack Thompson will not respawn. We suspect the driver was using cheats. Everybody mourns his death, and we no longer have anybody to be a total dickpotato about every fun game we own. Nobody to be a cuntwagon and try to censor every amazing piece of creative design. And finally nobody to be a total cockblock when we just want to see some good 'ol pixelated boobs. We can't believe this tragic event happened.
RIP Jack, we will miss you. JK.

We here at GamePlop are going to now make an unbiased decision about which recent home console is the worst. Now we don't jump to conclusions, so sit and you can see what the truth is. WII SUCKS A PENIS BECAUSE EVERYONE WHO PLAYS IT IS FAT AND SMELLS LIKE POOP. WHO NAMES A CONSOLE WII? I NAMED MY PENIS WII 14 YEARS AGO. WII IS THE MOST PENISEY NAME EVER. IF MY UNCLE ASKED ME TO PLAY WITH HIS WII, I WOULD CALL THE COPS AND CUT HIS DICK OFF AND THROW IT OFF INTO THE HORIZON. IT IS MEDICALLY PROVEN THAT IF YOU PLAY WII YOU ARE 500% MORE CECEPTIBLE TO AIDS BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING WITH WII YOU ARE SUCKING A BIG COCK AND COCKS ARE THE NUMBER 1 CAUSE OF AIDS. I'M FUCKING SICK OF PLAYING CHICKEN SHOOT OVER AND FUCKING OVER, I WOULD MUCH RATHER GO OUT AND SHOOT A REAL CHICKEN. AND WHAT THE FUCK IS THE WIIMOTE ANYWAY? ANYONE COULDA THOUGHT OF PUTTING LIKE 4 FUCKING BUTTONS ON A WHITE DILDO. THE BUTTONS MAKE IT EVEN MORE UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN I USED IT AS A DILDO. WII IS ALSO LIKE A PENTIUM 1 WITH THE GRAPHICS OF A GAMEBOY COLOR. THIS IS REAL SPECS, I GOT IT OFF OF THE NINTENDO SITE. XBOX 360 AND PS3 ARE SO MUCH BETTER BECAUSE THEY CAN PROCESS GRAPHICS AT A RATE OF THE OPPOSITE OF HAVING A GIANT COCK IN YOUR MOUTH. SOME LIKE FUCKING KID CAME UP TO ME AND WAS LIKE "LOOK AT ME, IM A COCK SUCKER AND IM PLAYING WII BOXING!" AND I WAS LIKE "HEY COCK-WAGON, WHY NOT BOX IN REAL LIFE" AND I PUNCHED HIM IN THE FUCKING FACE AND HIS HEAD FELL OFF BUT HE DIED RIGHT BEFORE THAT BECAUSE HE GOT AIDS FROM HIS DAD'S WII. FUCK THE WII AND PRAISE CAPS-LOCK. Thank you for reading our review, we are proud we can make a civilized review with the most accurate details you will ever find, because we hear GameSpot's reviews are PENIS LICKIN' GOOD.

You heard it right. Inside sources tell us that Valve is going to close by mid-April due to declining Counter Strike 1.6 sales. Counter Strike 1.6 has not been selling well, especially due to the fact there are competitiors such as Counter Strike: Source destroying it. I only got 1$ on ebay for my semen encrusted copy of Counter Strike 1.6 on eBay, which immediately led us to believe Valve is going down. We expect Valve to sue the creators of that bullshit game Counter Strike: Source for copyright infringement. If we let Valve go under, I'm afraid terrorists win.
EDIT: Valve is shutting down. A rep came over(we used a fish beanie baby because the real reps were busy) and I had a long talk with him. He confirmed Valve will soon be no more. It's a sad, sad world.

We officially have word that Rockstar delayed GTA IV yet another time. There were issues getting the game to run on PS3 due to the lack of RAM in the power supply. They are trying to make it so you can kill more then one hooker at a time, because if you couldn't then the game would be useless like Gangs of London. Currently only 1 complete hooker can appear onscreen, but a second hooker with only one rendered boob can also appear. This seriously cripples gameplay. Speaking of cripples, you can also beat them down with a wood plank in a new survival mode. The game is scheduled to come out in November 2009, most likely after the release of GTA V. Oh and hot coffee is just the beggining. They call it cold bagel. By delaying the game, Rockstar also has a chance to work on their new game Manhunt Table Tennis, where you play table tennis with bloody knives, grenades, and disembodied heads leftover from the 1700s. Oh well, I don't think anybody wanted GTA IV anyway, because Lego Racers 3 could be right around the corner.

Mass Effect, Microsoft's epic Sci-Fi Action RPG is one of the most offensive games that I have played in my life time.
I thought this game was about traveling the galaxy and inserting your penis into random blue aliens. Instead I was deeply disheartened when I played the game for hours and saw no alien sex whatsoever.
After awhile I began to think that the copy I had purchased from Gamestop was defective. I promptly headed back to the store and explained my situation to the sales clerk.
Me "Excuse me I would like a new copy of Mass Effect.."
Employee "Is something wrong with yours?, is it scratched?"
Me -"It may as well be, I haven't gotten any alien ass in this piece of shit.."
Employee- "What?"
Me -"You fucking heard me asshole, give me a new copy"
Employee-"There is a small sex scene near the end of the game but there isn't any nudity"
Me - "WHAT?"
Employee - "Sir I can't help you, this isn't a valid reason to return the game and you didn't even purchase a warranty on the game"
I walked out of the game store when everyone began to laugh uncontrollably for some odd reason..
This game had serious potential, it could have competed with the greats like BMX XXX, The Guy Game and Leisure Suit Larry..3 of my all time favorite video games. But instead we are given a game with a "Story line and multi-layered dialog" what a disgrace.

After the failure of every movie Uwe Boll ever made, the brilliant film-maker is at it again, with his recently announced Tetris movie. It is an action/horror/puzzle movie, one of the first of it's kind. The budget for the movie is nearly 200 million, a little bit more then the original Matrix movie. Angelina Jolie is supposed to play the square block, one of the lead roles in the movie. The L-block was supposed to be played by Jamie Lynn Spears, but I heard they need to reconsider because she no longer fits in the costume. The other actors have not been announced yet. The movie is planned to come out in theaters this November, but I doubt anybody plans to even illegally download it for free. Without further ado, here is the long awaited interview:
GamePlop: What possessed you to make this movie?
Boll: As a child, I always enjoyed Tetris. And penises. There are many movies with penises in them, but not many about Tetris, and this inspired me.
GamePlop: Being that all your previous movies were a collosal failure, how did you get all the funding for Tetris?
Boll: I sold my child.
GamePlop: How do you feel about people making fun of the upcoming movie?
Boll: It's mean. I just want some friends. I mean c'mon?
GamePlop: Okay, well can you describe the Tetris movie experience?
Boll: It is going to be orgasmic. It's like that feeling you got when you first played Tetris, but better because you are watching it. You get the excitement of watching somebody else play your favorite game, and paying a fair price for it too.
GamePlop: Well thank you for your time, we want to end this interview early because we can't continue our interview while you have that cock in your mouth. We look forward to Tetris.
Uwe: AHRGRHRGHRGRHRGH...gulp.

God of War: Chains of Olympus is the most anticipated videogame since the start of its development 18 years ago. Does it live up to the hype? NO. This game is terrible. Being that I am a fan of previous God of War installments, I have to say the new gameplay formula is completely horrible. The levels are also HORRIBLY dark. However, the game opens with an amazing set piece that gets things moving right away. You play as Kratos Estacado, a New York-based mob hit man on his 21st birthday, and you've just woken up in the back of a speeding convertible. A money-collection deal has gone wrong, your two buddies are attempting to get away from crooked cops, and you apparently got knocked out somewhere along the way. As you're speeding along to a construction site to take out the foreman, you're tossed a chain with 2 useless blades on it to help defend the car from incoming fire. Some douchebag named Ares comes and like pees all over you and then the car crashes. After the car crashes, you exit the New York Subway and go upstairs. You are in Greece, and you must do some dumb temple stuff to see your bff jill who was killed because of your powers. She is dead, so Kratos realizes he will never see her. Kratos casts himself off the nearest cliff and thus the start of God of War I. The story is fine, but the graphics is where the game sucks. Much better graphics can be seen in games like Crysis, so why play GOW? The games graphics are comparable to pong. The gameplay is not as good as the previous GOW formula and the game is essentially just another Space Invaders clone. The sound is the only good part of the game, although the only song in it is Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. And the replay value...ugh...the game is 15 minutes long and deactivates after you beat it. Overall I would not recommend this game to anybody who enjoys amazing games like E.T. for Atari 2600. I expected much more from this game, but I didn't get it.
Total Score: 2/10*
Note: We test and play every game we review to completion, and we would never review a game without beating it. Honesty is the key value at this site. We may have actually never physically played God of War: Chains of Olympus, but spiritually...we beat the game 17 times.
*Score is calculated by using a special advanced method. This is the formula we used to calculate the score for this game:
[(Score the game deserves) - (Score the game deserves)] + (Random number from 1 to 10 generated by the random number function on my TI-83) = Total Score

Sony is a company known for offering different choices so every gamer gets what they want for a fair price. Just after they announced the 80gb MGS4 bundle for $499.99, Sony had anounced an even newer bundle. Starting March 27th in Europe only, the new bundle includes a 10gb PS3, Dukes of Hazard: Racing for Home for PS1, and 5 HD-DVDs of your choice. You can only choose HD-DVDs that start with a C and end with a vowel. Casablanca is a popular choice being that it may be the only HD-DVD to fit that description.
The new Ps3 only has one USB port, lacks wireless networking and backwards compatibility, but an MMC slot has been added. Sony calls it the "FUNdle Bundle" and it is the best PS3 experience you can get. It goes on sale for $599 and will be sold at all major European retailers.

Okay, okay, I know some of you guys might feel regretful for buying HD-DVD players, but trust me it was a good move. HD-DVD is far from dead and will comeback and defeat Blu-Ray within the next few months. Toshiba did not abandon the format, that was just a little joke played by some Toshiba reps. Here are the reasons HD-DVD is superior and will win the format war:
1. HD-DVD is just plain better. Do you know what the HD stands for? HIGH DEF!!! HD-DVD is high definition, which is simply amazing, there is nothing out there quite like it. HD-DVD has a player that can be hooked to an Xbox 360 so you don't need 10 million devices sitting on your TV stand. Having a game console that can play high def movies is amazing, I wish other companies other then Microsoft were smart enough to pick up on it. Also, Blu-Ray players need to be plugged in to operate. That is a major inconvenience, nearly 2 people worldwide die each year tripping over wires. You could be one of them.
2. Global Warming
Blu-Ray players use electricity that provides heat. Warming is caused by heat. Thus, global warming. How can you watch HD porn when you know that you are killing millions of people every second you are watching?
3. It isn't going to die anytime soon
HD-DVD has stronger sales then every TV ever sold combined. More people have HD-DVD players then actual TVs. If for some reason HD-DVD does die, we can always bring it back to life. Jesus came back to life, so why can't HD-DVD?
In conclusion, HD-DVD is really shaping up and I would suggest you purchase one. It is going to be a great success, and there is a place for it right next to my BetaMax player and my Nokia N-gage. I have never experienced anything like it.

Months after Halo 3's release Bungie released the first autoupdate for the game last week, the update "fixed" a few issues, most notably the melee system which had been subject to much criticism.
But it seems Bungie is not satisfied. They are now implementing a new system which will attempt to GUESS if the player is going to melee or not, the technology was developed by NASA during the first World War. Bungie insists that the re-re balancing of the melee system will create an experience that is fair for all players except ones with below T1 connections.
The second autoupdate also includes significant changes to the Matchmaking System, including a new mode called "Big Team Ranked Plasma Pistols", the game type throws 16 players into the Sandtrap level armed with only a plasma pistol, the vehicles have been entirely removed from the level.
Bungie has also bumped up Halo 3's resolution to an astounding 685.535p, brought to you by technology that was 3 years in the making at Bungie studios.

Phil Harrison was discovered to have quit Sony Entertainment of America due to the fact he is pregnant and is bringing a new child into this world. Kaz Hirai has taken Harrison's place, and also helped name Harrison's new baby. The scans show it is a boy, and will be named Ridge Racer. He plans to raise the child entirely in PS home with husband Hilary Clinton. "I really just want to spend time with my new family, I want to watch my child grow up every step of the way. I feel like Jamie Lynn Spears, but not like 13 years old." said Harrison in his super secret interview. Sony kept this news extremely secret, so secret that nobody knows about it except us. Don't tell anyone, you don't want Jak and Daxter coming to your door with a colt 45 do you?

Microsoft was certainly surprised when EA offered to buy the multibillion dollar company for 8 million dollars after they recently failed to aquire Take Two. For the offer EA sent a rep in an EA branded Sonic the Hedgehog costume, further disregarding copyright laws. The company also told Microsoft that their branch would be able to keep the Microsoft name, but Windows Vista would be renamed to "EA Sports Goes BIG" and would have to have all Windows logos replaced with giant penises with the EA logo on the right testicle. Microsoft threatened to sue and EA declines to comment at this time.

Welcome to GamePlop, where there is the most reliable unbiased news around. We are so unbiased that we frown apon anyone who has even slight bias, and then we will have extreme bias against them, making us extremely unbiased. When we write reviews, we will automatically give any Barbie branded game a 4 out of 10, because playing through it would be biased to Al Queda. We will also give every game made by Sony Online Entertainment a 10% lower score then it deserves, just to show that life is arbitrary and unfair. Sorry Baldur's Gate, you probably sucked anyway. Well now you can enjoy GamePlop, because it's as if game news plops out of the sky, just like that one time in Panama where it rained actual poop for 11 days straight.
