We’ve covered many portable retro game systems, but this one covers nearly nearly every gaming system you care about. It plays 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit titles from 7 different game platforms. The CVFH-N03-4G (aka the Dingoo A320) can play thousands of games from the NES, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Nintendo Gameboy Advance, SNK Neo-Geo consoles, as well as the CAPCOM CPS1 and CPS2 arcade systems. The system features a 2.8″ QVGA (320×240) display and can also output to your TV.

Pretty sweet no? You’ll just need some ROMs. The system will hold up to 4GB of games and other media files and can even play some Flash-based games. There’s also a mini-SDHC slot in case you want to up the storage. It can play your audio and video files in a wide variety of formats and you’ll get an FM tuner, voice recorder and e-book reader too.

I have been a big UFC fan since the sport debuted years ago with a much different format than we see today. I used to prefer boxing, but the UFC is much more entertaining to me. I have been waiting for the UFC game to debut since I first heard about it and now THQ is offering a playable demo.

THQ has announced that the playable demo is now available for Xbox 360 and PS3 owners to download. To celebrate UFC 97 held last weekend, the demo lets players fight an exhibition match between Chuck Liddell and Mauricio Rua.

Dante’s inferno was one of the books I had to read in literature class back in the day. I can’t say it was one of my favorite books and I wished it were a movie instead so I didn’t actually have to read it. Students today can crib for the quiz with a new video game from EA based on the book.

The game is based on part one of the Dante Alighieri classic, “The Divine Comedy.” The game will put players on a mission to move through the nine circles of hell including high school, college … I mean limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery.

Do you love World of Warcraft? Do you love it so much that you basically never leave the computer and have a functioning toilet built into your computer chair. Is your desk and keyboard stained orange from living off of cheesy puffs? Here’s your new home. Er, hut.

The WoW Pod is exactly what you need. It has food paks, a cook pot, stove and a throne with built-in toilet. There’s also surround sound. It’s made to look like an Orc’s hut. Sadly they would have to build this hut around your sorry butt, as you won’t be moving away from the computer anytime soon.

I’m not a huge fan of mini golf myself, but my kids love it. In fact we went to play mini gold yesterday and I got beat by a 7-year-old again. My son is some sort of mini golf Tiger Woods, always hitting a hole in one despite the fact that he usually doesn’t look at what he is doing as he hits the ball.

I can still beat him (usually) at video games so to help my bruised ego I might challenge him to a round of mini golf on the iPhone with the new Mini Golf 99 holes Theme Park application. As the name suggest the game has 99 different holes with four different courses to choose from.

One of the worst parts about being an avid gamer is that it can be hard to find the newest and coolest video games the day they launch. I have been trying to get a copy of Mario Kart for the Wii for months and can’t find it.

Target has announced a new video game reservation program that is a bit easier to swallow than many pre-order programs that require you to pay for the entire purchase price of the game. The Target program has little cards, which look like gift cards. You pay $1 for the reservation cards and guarantee yourself a copy of whatever game the card is for.

MTV Games, Harmonix and EA have come forward with some info today just to tease you until the 09.09.09 launch. Apparently the Limited Edition Premium Bundle will include the game, a Höfner Bass, a microphone, microphone stand, some “additional special content” and… Beatles-inspired, Ludwig-branded Rock Band 2 drums, with a pearl finish and vintage replica Beatles kick drum head.

The bundle is scheduled to launch worldwide this September, with US price of $249, Europeans will pay €199 and those in the UK will pay £179. As an added and lame bonus, North American and European fans who pre-order any version of the game will be eligible to join the The Beatles: Rock Band Pre-Order Club and “receive breaking news and access to exclusive game elements including art and behind-the-scenes footage directly from MTV Games and Harmonix.”

What you are looking at is a Game Boy hooked up to a nitrous oxide machine, so that this child can be sedated. It’s called the PediSedate and it’s probably a really bad idea.

The PediSedate was designed for use by dentists. Apparently they got bored with putting people under the normal way. The idea is to distract kids with video games while they are drugged for root canal surgery and such. That doesn’t seem creepy at all.

I am a big fan of shooters on PC; I typically prefer them to be of the first person variety. I have played some third person shooters and often times the controls are the weak link in third person titles. Konami has announced a new third person shooter is in development that could be the most realistic shooter ever produced.

The game is to be called Six Days in Fallujah and is based on historically accurate data from the battle for Fallujah during the Iraq war. The battle for Fallujah was the largest urban battle in 40 years. Konami says that to develop the game 32 US Marines were involved and the development team used battle plans, after action reports, photos, videos, and satellite maps of the area to add unmatched realism.

It’s hard to believe after being around for well over a year that Crysis is still one of the best looking video games on the market. The follow up to the original Crysis, Crysis Warhead, was equally lush graphically, even if the story line wasn’t as good.

EA and Crytek are now offering a free trial period to get players to try out Crysis Wars, the online shooter version of Crysis. Crytek and EA also announced that they would release a Crysis Maximum Edition that has Crysis, Crysis Warhead, and Crysis Wars in one box on May 5 for $39.99.

Nielsen just released their report on console usage. I wish I could say that there were some shocking developments, but it all pans out pretty much how you might think. Almost. The report was conducted in December of 2008, with Nielsen keeping track of the use of the big three consoles.

According to their numbers, Xbox 360 users used their console the most: 11.4 percent of the time during the poll. The PS3 came next at 10.6 percent. The original Xbox came in next with 10.2 percent. while Wii owners gamed a sad 6.8 percent of the time… far less than that of even PS2 owners. What I fond surprising was that the Wii came in last place in total days used during their research. People don’t like hitting others in the nads with a Wiimote all the sudden?

Anyone who has seen pictures of rabid Star Trek fans knows that geeks don’t get much geekier than these people do. Star wars fans can give them a run for their money, but Trek fans take the cake in my book. Hard core Star Trek fans can show off the Trek knowledge in a new board game based on the series.

The Star Trek Scene It game has been announced with two collector’s edition bundles. The game uses a DVD to play actual clips from the variety of TV shows and movies in the franchise. Players try to answer trivia questions that relate to the scenes to win the game.

I really liked the first Fast & Furious movie with all the cool cars and racing action. The second and third films in the franchise left a bit to be desired, well OK a lot to be desired. The fourth film in the franchise hit theaters over the weekend and as expected video games based on the film are available as well.

A company called iPlay has announced a new game for the iPhone, the sixth Fast & Furious game for the iPhone and iPod touch. The game is available in the iTunes store now for $5.99 and offers social networking and connectivity features. Players can upload their fastest races to YouTube for inclusion in global leader boards. The graphics are high resolution and controls use the accelerometer.

We first told you about Envizions new console back in October. It goes by the name of the EVO Smart Console will be powered by an AMD Athlon 2.4GHz processor, and will be accompanied by a Fedora-based Linux distro. The open-source console will give you game play, Internet access, VoIP communications and HD video playback all in one box.

It should work with Envizions “cloud” computing service, where users can pick up Amiga-based games and a video on demand service where you can choose from over 10,000 titles. The beta shipment for developers will begins next week with a 100 units. More systems will be released later. We have some updated specs below.

You might remember the awesome Space Invaders Game Bank that we featured a while back. At that time it was only available in Japan. Good news, now there is a version that you can get in the US and Europe, although we’re not sure if it takes currency other than Yen.

To refresh your memory, when last we left it, this bank was accepting up to 80 100 yen coins, and each time you drop a coin in, another invader lights up. So, you are playing the game in reverse. It pays to have more invaders on screen.
