I have to admit getting the scoop on this type of story is rather crucial. For those of you that don’t know I am a skateboarder and the reason this site has been slacking is because I been skateboarding so damn much. That aside, the guy that owns the skateshop I work at rolled up to the trade-show today and left me a text message that said Globe Shoes was making a Gears of War shoe. I started laughing and then did some google searches and shit and what do you know, no one knows about this bitch?

Anyway the picture is shoddy, when he sent it with his “verizon” phone it made me log into some bs and view the photo in this flash window that was 100 x 100 pixels wide… so i zoomed in and started screen capturing sections and pieced it together in photoshop. That’s right I just spent 20 mins of my time to deliver this image to you so get stoked dammit. I wish he had an iphone so he could have just uploaded it to his flickr account, flippin noob.

Anyway as you can see the shoe features the gears of war logo on the side and on the inside of the sole. It also rocks Gears of War on the tag of the shoe, so yeah enjoy it, if your a globe fan maybe enough stores will order it to be produced? Expect this shit in the summer enjoy.

What’s even funnier is that Sonic was already a category? haha. So yes, a new Sonic game is in the works and well when it’s Bioware and RPG, well just about nothing can go wrong. One of the most interesting and appealing things to me in this type of game is the artwork, since sonic has sucked since basically the 2d era this is very important. Bioware is going for this cartoonish/watercolour style artwork. I am not sure how far away there going to be from something like Zelda:Wind Waker steez but I assume they will go in there own direction.

Hit the jump for the sloppy details

Zelda Phanthom Hour Glass surprised me by beating out games like BioShock, Mario Galaxy and Assassins Creed. With 25 out of 97 readers votes, Call of Duty 4 was your Game of the Year for 07.

My top games of 07 are still on its way. While waiting for that watch the 4 colleges kids play zelda. link in the previous post

What a great way to start of the year in gaming. 4 college kids are toughing it out for 48 hours and trying to beat 4 Zelda games: Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess Mask. They even put up a live broadcast of them playing each game and all the viewers are able to watch the game play. Good luck to the 4 of them.

To revive this site a bit, put a little more ZING in to it, ive decided to put up a poll to see what everyone thinks Game of the Year for 07 was. The poll will end on Friday Jan 11.

On a side note, if most of you have noticed, Green hasnt been posting due to the lack of internet.
I will be posting as much as I can while he is away having fun in Canada

On first note, the xbox live servers seem to be getting alot better. Considering i was finally able to get my account back after 6 days of trying. Gaming online is still a little slow but manageable. Have fun trying to play online.

On a side note,  theres a nice poll on the PSN(playstation network) on whether people would like to pay for the PSN service to download PSN games on a monthly payment basis. This is definitely intriguing considering each game costs on average 6.99.  I would definitly pay 10$ a month or something a little higher to download PSN games instead of buying them a piece.
