Xbox 360 died? Send it off in style with the RROD coffin accessory!
We sometimes get sent some pretty weird stuff from our readers. Throughout the years, we've seen everything from homemade Nintendog piñatas to scores of cosplay Polaroids (unfortunately, eye bleach is rarely included in the package). For about three years, some guy kept sending us fat envelopes filled with bizarre drawings for a competition that didn't even exist. We almost told the police about that one.

In pictures: the most badass video game villains
It’s no secret that villains have all the fun. They get the best lines, wear the coolest outfits and are usually one step ahead of the hero. They also get to kidnap princesses, blow up planets and cackle maniacally while spinning in swivel chairs. By contrast, most heroes are bit... well, lame.

Final Fantasy XIII releasing on March 9, 2010
With Japanese gamers learning months ago that they would be receiving Final Fantasy XIII within the year, US and European RPG fans were getting understandably antsy about when the rest of the world would finally get to play Square-Enix's next epic title. Thankfully, they won't have to wait too long, as the latest trailer (embedded above), announced a March 9, 2010 release date. The reveal comes in the final ten seconds of video, but it's preceded by a slew of developer commentary that's worth watching.

God of War III
Talk about high expectations: as the final chapter in what is arguably the most successful action game franchise ever created, God of War III has a lot of things it needs to accomplish. One, it has to be a huge commercial success; two, it has to showcase the full capabilities of the PS3 hardware and raise the bar in terms of visual quality and gameplay refinement; and finally, it has to cap off the series' narrative arc in a way that not only meets fan expectations but brings all of the threads together into a cohesive and satisfying end.

Final Fantasy XIII
I'm having a hard time admitting to myself that I don't like Final Fantasy XIII. By all accounts, I should love it and instead, I'm disappointed by it. It's not because Final Fantasy XIII is a bad game -- it's because it's not the game I wanted it to be. My disappointment runs deeper than that, though. I have a longstanding emotional connection to the Final Fantasy series and it feels to me like XIII is trying to break it off in an awkward, mean way. It's like a boyfriend I've been on-again, off-again with since middle school invited me to coffee. He can't just tell me "It's over," so instead he tells me he's married and lets me figure out the rest.
