…an 11-year old went all the way to city hall to fight for his right to a pet hedgehog? Apparently, Judson King was such a HUGE Sonic the Hedgehog fanboy, he wanted one of his very own. Problem was…ain’t no hedgehogs allowed in his neck of Kansas. This hardcore Sonic lover took on the man, and had the law changed. Full story: KTKA
…Zoey from Left 4 Dead has 15 fingers? Yup. Attributable to three hands actually. Don’t believe me? Next time you are loading up No Mercy, check out the triple-grip on her pistol. Full story: Kezins
…the man, the legend, Roy Orbison is coming to Rock Band? Starting on Jan 6th on Xbox Live and Jan 15th on PSN you will be able to download tracks including “Claudette”, “In Dreams,” “Mean Woman Blues,” “Oh, Pretty Woman,” “Ooby Dooby,” and “You Got It.” Full story: Kotaku
…the first official Japanese trailer is up for the sure-to-be-craptastic Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li? Featuring Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk, I don’t need subtitles to tell me this movie on the fast track to the $1.99 bargin DVD bin. Trailer: You Tube
…The PS2 is the console that will never die? According to Nielsen, the PS2 tops the list of console “usage minutes” in 2008 at 31.7%, beating out the Xbox 360 (17.2%), Wii (13.4%) and PS3 (7.3%). A “usage minute” is basically the percentage of total time measured playing consoles. So of ALL of the time gamers spent playing console games in 2008 (which I think must be a go-zillion minutes) 31.7% of those minutes were spent in front of a PS2. Surprised? I sure as hell was.
