This is funny because a) it’s ultra-realistic and b) it is precisely one of the main uses of the iPhone in many clubs all around the world. And you gotta love their on-your-face sales pitch:
Be the envy of in-crowd. Get ejected from nightclubs. Shock and amaze your so-called friends. Get oral sex from Z-list celebrities.

Cocaine in a paragraph, boys and girls. Yours for five British pounds ($7.40) and a jailbreak. [iSnort]

With the Steel & Titanium downloadable map pack freshly launched for Killzone 2, you might be tempted to dip back into the on the web waters of this fine PlayStation 3 title. A while ago we provided a handy guide advising you how to not look like a dickhead in Gears of War 2, and with Killzone 2 providing a very active on the internet community that you can look like a dickhead in front of, it would be wrong of us to not produce yet another informative and useful …

Apparently as of right now, this stunning piece of high art is just a foam model mock-up, but listen to us, mouse manufacturers of the world: if you build this, we’ll give you every penny we have to own it. Our only gripe? The D-pad should definitely be up top for navigation duties. Still… where’s the waiting list?

What a week in the World of Warcraft — we’ve explored even further into the mysteries of Ulduar, we saw Peggle in WoW and WoW on the iPhone, and the Easter holiday of Noblegarden has arrived (even though it is a little late thanks to Blizzard’s long testing periods) in Azeroth. But even though all of this is happening at once, there’s no need to fear — Joystiq’s sister site WoW Insider is here every single day with news and views about what’s …

Capcom dropped its multiplayer demo for Bionic Commando today, exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. I have to admit, I couldn’t spend more than 10 minutes with the thing.
That mostly had to do with the fact that the game simply doesn’t allow you to create a private room, join a friend, or invite one to an existing game. Considering demos are meant to sell an experience (i.e. “Here’s a taste. You care about it. Buy our full product!), this is a complete failure on Capcom’s part. Multiplayer games are best …

You’ve already read our hands-on impressions of MAG — if not, why not? — and now you can see it in action in the video above. Included is almost a minute and a half of footage from the game which will no doubt quench your thirst for some insight into the title. Since its announcement at E3 2008 info on MAG has been hard to come by, so this is the first insight into how the game looks in motion. Surprise surprise, it’s looking great.
First MAG footage shown in …

This is more of an “Aw, shucks” kind of thing, but it’s worth noting: Capcom isn’t going to give Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix the Trophy treatment. Ever.
Capcom representative John Diamonon delivered the unfortunate news in a recent reply to a reader question over at PlayStation.Blog. He wrote, “trophies were never promised for SFHD and aren’t going to be implemented.”
Disheartening, but succinct. We like that.
If Trophies are your jam, don’t worry — Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will have them. Earning them, however, will probably require much more …

In what’s possibly the meanest anti-Apple pun ever, Consumerist reader Ryan was sold an actual brick in a box instead of the MacBook Pro for which he paid over $2,000.
He bought the “MacBook Pro” at a Best Buy in Texas, and the retailer is citing the problem as Apple’s responsibility rather than its own. The box was apparently sealed with the brick (a paving stone, really, but I’ve already eked two jokes out of calling it a brick and I refuse to let that kind of thing pass me by) …

We like how you’re thinking, AMD, and we don’t say that each day — or ever, really. During a time when even hardcore gamers are having to rethink whether or not that next-gen GPU is a necessity, AMD has pushed out a remarkably potent new graphics card for under a Benjamin, and the whole world has joined in to review it. The ATI Radeon HD 4770, which was outed just over a week ago, has been officially introduced for the low, low price of just $99 (including rebates, which should …

You’ve seen Dead Rising 2 in action. You know it has a moose head, double chainsaws, and a motorbike. All of that, confirmed. But what of multiplayer? According to Capcom’s Keiji Inafune, hell yes.
While Capcom isn’t ready to reveal this aspect of the game just yet, Inafune was more than happy to confirm its inclusion.
