A brief tour through the Videogame History Museum (Nintendo DS)

From our booth at E3, I could see dozens of old tube TVs and what appeared to be aging game consoles.�Upon closer inspection, said pile of ancient technology turned out to be part of the�Videogame History Museum. This vast collection of trinkets both popular and obscure is a labor of love for people aiming to�create a true brick and mortar game museum in Silicon Valley. Undoubtedly a noble pursuit!

So in the waning moments of E3 2011, I grabbed Chris and we took a quick jog around two tables on display. There was so much more to see and play, we just couldn't get to all of it. Head to their�official site�and support the museum in any way you can - our medium deserves the recognition!

Mortal Kombat - Tip - How to Beat Shao Khan

Mortal Kombat for Playstation 3
 
 How to beat Shao Khan
 
 by AdrianHORE (jtomlinii | AOL)
 
 There are basically two ways to easily kill Shao Khan.
 
 Projectile spamming from afar or jumping over Shao Khan, let him do his move,
 then hit him.
 
 You can also jump over him and kick him, but that only does one hit. When you
 jump over him, he may hit you with an overhead hammer attack.
 
 It seems he does a random attack every time you jump over him, so it's a random
 luck game.
 
 When he is on the ground, do not jump over him right away, especially in the
 corner, or else he will shoulder rush you in the air.
 
 Wait for him to do his move by blocking. Odds are, he will taunt or do his
 X-ray attack. If it's an X-ray attack, teleport or jump back.
 
 Projectile spamming is the easier by far. Duck under his spear attacks and jump
 over his hammer attacks. He normally does 3 spears, then throws his hammer,
 then taunts.
 
 If you can pull off a projectile between spears, great. If not, wait until he
 taunts or does a shoulder rush. He can't hit with the shoulder rush from afar,
 so your safe.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean First Look Preview -- Captain Jack Sparrow Gets Bricky With It

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game

What happens when Pirates of the Caribbean meets LEGO? Well, besides LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game.�You get swashbuckling blocks and a lot of attention to detail. But what does the search for a plastic Black Pearl look like? Apparently, not like plain old plastic bricks. But don't take my word for it. Check out what Nikole Zivalich had to say when she checked the game out at GDC.�

"At first glance, LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean looks like a LEGO game; it's colorful, it's bouncy, and everything is made of LEGOS. But after my glance turned into a stare, I noticed the jungle I was in had textures, leaves, vines, none of which were made of LEGOS. What surprised me wasn't simply the detailed landscape, it was how detailed it was. Another level I was shown took place on a pirate ship, but rather than being on a shiny, plastic Black Pearl, I was on a rotted wood, lines in the planks, realistic looking pirate ship."
