The powers that be over at 30 Rock (namely Tina Fey) have finally revealed the title for their “world’s first” porn video game.  The title?  Gorgasim: The Legend of Dong Slayer.  Yes, it has a that certain catchy vibe that just never lets you forget it once you’ve heard it–no matter how hard you try.

Think of Mirror’s Edge as the video game version of the chase scenes from the recent remake of Casino Royale.  Or, you know, the chase scenes from the Bourne films…if there already weren’t a game.  Whatever you think of it, just realize it’s one of the most interesting looking games to come along in a while.  The developers seem fairly self-assured that they’ve finally conquered the problem of jumping in a first-person title.  Regardless, they do know how to cut an exciting trailer that mixes some Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time with the previously mentioned films.

Let’s just clear the air right from the start–Baseball Mogul 2009 is not for the arcade crowd.  It’s a stats-loving geek’s dream come true, but it will likely not appeal to most fans of baseball video games.  That being said, those that do fall within its target demographic will find a very enjoyable game with a few unfortunate stumbles.

As noted, the Baseball Mogul series is for those who subscribe to Baseball Weekly, or are just really into fantasy baseball leagues.  It’s essentially the franchise mode of any console baseball game without the excitement of occasionally stepping up to the plate.  Instead, the excitement comes from a well done trade or watching a draft pick make their way from the single A ball all the way to a starting spot in the majors.

No, this is not the Double Dragon game you are looking for.  Yes, it is the one you remember as a kid on the NES and not the arcade version you wished it was at the time.  More disappointing, however, is that it’s not the vastly superior Double Dragon II.  Oh well, perhaps another day.  Still, the original is a decent game, but with so many better brawlers out there, such as Double Dragon II and Final Fight, its fond memories are best left in the past.

Read just about any message board and you are likely to hear how the mainstream media haters gamers and gaming culture.  This is especially true around the release of a news-worthy title such as Grand Theft Auto or Manhunt.  It even seems to make sense.

After all, the mainstream media is filled with critical articles and opinion pieces on video games.  Video game are a new medium, and frankly they scare those entrenched in the world of old media.  Video games, simply put, are the enemy of the mainstream media.  Except, that isn’t true.

Ever wondered what some folks did before video games?  Before they had a DS or a Wii to draw all those pretty graphics for them?  Well, they drew their own.  It seems some folks simply can’t give up that old lifestyle, though, as they’ve taken to creating their own hand drawn video games.  In this case, you get a pretty fun animation of Mario drawn on the fly.

After one of the longest primary seasons in recent memory, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton appear to have finally decided to settle things within the wrestling ring.  That’s great and all, but real questions still persist.  Does Hillary smell what Barack is cooking?  Is Barack, as Hillary notes, truly a heel?  Will there ever be a good wrestling game again?  So many questions left unanswered.

30 Rock has steadily become one of television’s finest shows.  In fact, it’s easily the best sitcom on right now.  Part of that winning appeal comes from its biting satire that has really taken off in the show’s current second season.  Thursday’s episode turned to video games of a decidedly adult nature.
