I hope you like custom games [Update: Treyarchhas respondedby creating a new playlist called Chaos Moshpit that has Nuketown 2025 in its rotation. What a silly situation.] Treyarch has removed the multiplayer playlist containing the Nuketown 2025 map that was used as a pre-order bonus forCall of Duty: Black Ops II. As a result, those who “own” the map and would like to play it will have to resort to running a custom game, meaning no public matchmaking with experience points....

I’m not so sure about the practicality level ofthis, but the awesome level is off the charts. Airz, a forum member over atBen Heck’s site, created a portable gaming system out of aSuper Mario Bros.cartridge and a classic Nintendo controller. The thing has sound, a nice screen, plenty of games from the NES, Game Boy and Game Boy Color and 4GB of space to save them all on. Airz says that the NES controller fit into the cartridge like it was designed to do so, and that it makes playing the games way easier than the crappy controls that were on the random, Chinese portable media player he used as the basis for his creation....

I love testing and getting a feel for new gear, but the numbers side of thing is a bit lost on me (shame on me, I know!). So when I went down to Santa Monica for a tech presentation and Logitech threw a bunch of numbers at me, like “PMW3366 sensor” and “200-12,000 DPI,” I calmly nodded and pretended I was supposed to be there....

For now, it’s looking like an impulse-buy import Sega isn’t done scaling down beloved old video game hardware. The company’s next retro revival project for 2020, at least in Japan, is the Astro City Mini – a tiny arcade cabinet featuring 36 games. The Astro City Mini surfaced in a now-removed article onGame Watch, and according toSega Driven, the six-button white-and-green device will have microswitches, support for two “additional joysticks” via USB, and HDMI out (so you’re able to hook it up to your TV)....

Now you too can ‘buy’ Star Trek Online’s free expansion We’re just about a month out untilStar Trek Onlinegets a bunch of funny-foreheaded Vulcans stuffed into itfor itsLegacy of Romulusexpansion, which is set to debut a whole new faction to step into the 25th century.
