Flickr user givintats has transformed his Xbox 360 into the All Spark. Why? With all the red rings of deaths, why not? If his Xbox dies, it’ll be instantly brought back to life with the power of the cube! I hope he has a decent security system on his house though. I bet Shia Labeouf is always trying to break in and steal it. More pictures below…

Xbox 360, check. Racing wheel and pedals, check. Helmet, check. Nude, check.

The first Halo: Reach teaser trailer came out back at E3 2009, but now the first footage is here! It’s not actual gameplay footage, but it is “in game” footage. From a cut scene presumably. Female Spartans? I’m in. The multiplayer beta for Halo: Reach is being released sometime in Spring 2010.

Gnome Chompski is a very ineffective Tank bashing melee weapon.

I might consider wearing a shirt that actually has cuffs, just so I can wear these cufflinks. Sure, they could be better. Something like Gears of War cufflinks, or Big Daddy cufflinks, or pretty much any Nintendo character, but Halo cufflinks are still decent. If you really, really feel the need to have Master Chief attached to your clothing, you can buy these cufflinks for about $25 at Etsy.

Evolution of Controllers Before you continue, I mean no offense to controller creationists. You may continue believing all controllers were made by the intelligent design of the almighty cloud dweller. Not even the Power Glove or original Xbox “fat” controller should shake your faith…

I love the NES controller, I enjoy the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo, and I hold my Xbox 360 controller even when my 360 is turned off. That being said, I think my favorite controller of all time has to be the Nintendo Gamecube controller.

Sure, Gamecube wasn’t the best console ever, but it was decent, still is, and the controller is amazing. Aside from the fact that it works with the Wii, the design and feel of it are perfect. The handles, the big shoulder buttons, the yellow nub, the smooth joystick, the huge “A” button, and even the unnecessary, but reliable D-Pad. Hate on Gamecube all you want; just leave the controller out of it.

Let’s hear what your favorite controller is in the comments. Check out the full picture below…

What happens when The Angry Video Game Nerds get so fed up with all the horrible NES and SNES Godzilla games? He plays some Xbox and Playstation 2. If you’re a fan of the AVGN, you know just how unnatural that is.

Check out the latest trailer for Splinter Cell: Conviction! It definitely looks like Splinter Cell is awesome again. The trailer reminded me a lot of The Bourne Identity for some reason. Probably because all it showed was Sam Fisher kicking ass left and right and he’s carrying a bag.

Splinter Cell: Conviction hits shelves for the Xbox 360 and PC on October 20th!

This is probably my least favorite Prototype video so far. Every trailer, cinematic, and gameplay video I’ve seen so far has been awesome, I’m not going to let this one lackluster video change my wanting to play this game. Boring video is still better than no video.

Prototype hits shelves for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on June 9th in the US and on June 12th in Europe! Check out more:
