Games, consoles, joysticks -- they can all be yours -- plus a lifetime of unlearned experience and antisocial activity. Game on!

Indiana Jones is joining the Star Wars universe -- in the realm of Lego video game goodness!
Slated for a summer 2008 launch, "Lego Indiana Jones: The Video game" gives everyone the chance to become their favorite adventure-seeking archaeologist, and play through all three original "Indiana Jones" movies. The game will present a tongue-in-cheek take on the original trilogy, while you whip your way to the treasures of the world. Console information hasn't been announced yet, but it's sure to make it to all the major video game systems.
With Lucas giving us the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" based Lego games, could a "Howard the Duck" game be far behind?

Take two great things; LEGO and "Star Wars," mash them into a tongue-in-cheek take on the entire "Star Wars" storyline -- and you've got yourself some good times!
The newest addition to the LEGO Star Wars franchise covers all six movies. Even if you know the entire series verbatim, the game brings a new humor to the storyline and is a refreshing re-imagining of George Lucas' contribution to modern cultural history. With over 160 playable characters, you can finally see what it's like to be Jar Jar Binks in the Ewok village ... you can even create cross-trilogy, mash-up characters like Han Windu and Amidala Vader.
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga will be available in fall 2007, for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo DS and Wii.

You like video games, you like movies -- and who doesn't like $10,000?
Nintendo and the Tribeca Film Festival are giving videogame fans a chance to show off their creativity and win $10,000 in the Nintendo Short Cuts Showcase. All you have to do is create a five-minute (or less) film with a Nintendo theme. The film can be comedy, drama, animation, live action -- whatever you can imagine is fair game.
The top three videos will premiere at the Top of the Rock observation deck at Rockefeller Center during the Rock Center's Annual Film Showcase in June. First place gets the cash, and all three films receive Nintendo games and hardware.
Be on the lookout for TMZ's five-minute horror epic, "The Legend of Zelda -- Link's Revenge."

What's better than Donkey Kong? How about Donkey Kong made from thousands of Post-It notes?!
A group of 10 UC Santa Cruz engineering students took five hours to create a four-story homage to the famous video game in the windows of one of the campus buildings. You can see Mario attempt to save Pauline from Donkey Kong until May 1. 
See, college students do more than party and make fake IDs!

The cancellation of the Van Halen reunion was a disappointment to fans everywhere, but they can still get their Van Halen fix, thanks to Guitar Hero 2 on the Xbox 360!
For those who haven't heard of this groundbreaking game, players use a guitar as the controller and rock along to their favorite songs. The Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero 2 allows you to rock-out to over 70 intense tracks, including songs by Wolfmother, Pearl Jam, Dick Dale, Suicidal Tendencies and Guns n' Roses.
Launching on Tuesday, the Xbox 360 version of the wildly popular guitar-playing video game has graphics optimized for the Xbox 360, and it will allow players to download new tracks, new guitars and new characters using the Xbox Live Marketplace. You even get an updated guitar controller, the X-Plorer, based on the famous Gibson guitar.
With the Guitar Hero 2's cooperative mode, you can even recreate your own Van Halen concerts. Just choose Van Halen's version of "You Got Me," and plug in two guitars -- players can choose to play lead guitar, bass guitar or rhythm. Become the ultimate father/son rock combo like Eddie and Wolfgang Van Halen, or use the Face-Off mode to battle your guitar-wielding foe in the ultimate shredfest!
Now all you need is an egomaniacal frontman to pull off some karate kicks.

Microsoft has unleashed the newest version of the Xbox 360, the Xbox 360 Elite.
The console is an updated version of the current one. Clad in a sexy new black paint job, the Elite gives owners of HDTVs exactly what they have been asking for: HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface is the interface between components and HDTVs that allows reception of uncompressed audio and video). Finally, you can battle in the crisp world of HD without those pesky component cables bumming your high. You don't just get the port, you get the cables too!
Maybe you've been downloading videos and games off the Xbox Live Marketplace, and that Xbox hard drive of yours is gettin' pretty full. The Elite comes with a 120GB hard drive for all your downloaded goodies, and is packaged with a black wireless controller and black Xbox Live headset.
If you're bummed because you already have an Xbox 360 and you're jonesing for a larger hard drive, cheer up ... the 120GB hard drive is available for purchase as a stand-alone. It comes with a migration cable so you can backup your current puny drive with a new mega drive.
The Xbox 360 Elite will hit stores April 28 at $479, while the 120GB hard drive will be available for $179.

Whether you're the kinda girl who knows the difference between Mario and the Master Chief, or you just want to get your girlfriend a truly unique purse. The Nintendo purse is definitely worth bidding on.
An eBay seller has taken the original Nintendo into the world of high fashion with his novelty bag. With a gutted game system making room for cell phones, makeup and other small items, this repurposed console purse utilizes the controller as a handle. Princess Toadstool would be proud.
Now all you need is Atari 2600 shoes to match!

As if it weren't difficult enough to wrestle the Wii away from your family, Nintendo is going to make it even harder beginning this Friday.
Nintendo announced today that the anticipated Wii web browser will be available in Beta form on December 22.

The Forecast Channel joins four already live channels: Disc Channel, Photo Channel, Mii Channel and Wii Shop Channel.
Hopefully, the browser will work with a certain entertainment website.

Now that both next gen systems have hit stores, sucking hard-earned cash out of gamer wallets, let's take a look at the very different console launches. 
The PS3, with its cell processor and Blu-Ray, was created and marketed for the hardcore gamer. Gamers who flocked to the release of the $600 system were a bit more tenacious than retailers expected; stabbings, shootings, robberies and mini-riots plagued campout lines. Not exactly the welcome Sony expected. Most of those waiting in line were planning to sell the system on eBay for a quick buck; some sold as high as $2500, they're now selling for more reasonable $1200 on the auction site. Still a tidy profit (if you don't mind standing in the rain for three days).
Conversely, the Wii launch was a well-oiled machine. Most who waited in lines were guaranteed a Wii for $250, with chances of bodily harm remaining slim. A virtual love fest. In order to choose console recipients, raffle tickets were handed out to people in line, instead of the lunatic PS3 race for chairs that caused one gamer to receive a dislocated jaw -- the guy hung in there and got a PS3. Seriously dude, that's hardcore.
An unscientific poll of gamers (friends) and non-gamers (the rest of the TMZ staff) has the Wii on top, citing the wireless remote and lower cost as main factors.

With Friday's release of the PS3 finally just hours away, it's time for diehard gamers to forsake their jobs, families and all personal responsibilities to wait in a line outside of an electronics superstore.

When he's not chopping off the ears of police officers or treating Hanso swords with disrespect by leaving them in golf bags, Micahel Madsen is bring Sega's newest video game "Yakuza" to life with his unique voice.
The "Kill Bill" star is the voice of Futo Shimano, a vicious yakuza boss who uses brutality to achieve his selfish goals. Madsen isn't the only Hollywood star lending their voice to this visually spectacular game. Rachel Leigh Cook of "She's All That" fame plays Reina, the owner of a hostess bar whose secret love leads her down the road of betrayal. Michael Rosenblum and Eliza Dushku have also joined the "Yakuza" fray.
Our favorite is of course Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, whose take on Goro Majima is a far departure from the Jedi we have all come to love.
"Yakuza" is available in stores now.
