BradyGames have a special place in my heart. Not only are they responsible for some of the most well-crafted game guides you will ever read, but more often than not, they go above and beyond that. Take the new Gears Of War 3 guide, for instance. The Limited Edition doesn’t just come with a shiny hardcover, oh no. It also comes with PDF versions of both...

In light of the return of the ground-breaking Deus Ex series, various designers have produced an incredibly varied range of clothing.

Either that or you’re just being plain cruel, considering we still have to wait til August to get our grubby mitts on the next installment in your superb cyberpunk first-person shooter-RPG hybrid. A little from column A, little from column B, perhaps? Of course I’m referring to the super-limited...

What do you get the gamer who has everything? Why, how about a statue of themselves? That’s right, FigurePrints can create a “fully detailed 3D replica” of your Xbox Live alterego “rivaling the beauty of any miniature figure ever made.” Hmm, I know. A lofty claim, right? They insist that by using 3D modeling techniques,...

As I know I’ve said before, I have a thing for gamer-centric clothing. Over the years I’ve amassed a sizable collection of tees and hoodies and caps (the latter I never seem to wear, by the way), clothes that feature everything from Dead Space to Mario Bros., Halo to Left 4 Dead, Legend of Zelda to Silent Hill.
