Super Mario Speaks! 21


Every sport has a super star that shines brighter than the rest. In the world of basketball, it's LeBron James. In the world of football, it's Peyton Manning. In the world of baseball, it's Albert Pujols. When you shift gears and head into the world of video games, however, one name stands above all others, and that name is Mario.

The prolific plumber has been working his tail off for over 25 years. Now he's out with a new game, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and took some time out of his busy schedule to talk to us...and we got to record his answers! Keep reading to HEAR Mario SPEAK about working out, fighting with your siblings, eating spaghetti and meatballs and more! Just press the red play buttons below!

One-on-One with a Millionaire 8


I can think of some pretty ridiculous ways to win a million dollars: a cheeseburger eating contest, bubble gum blowing contest, Justin Bieber look-a-like contest. But while those all seem pretty wild, none of them seem as strange as paying someone a million dollars to play a video game.

Yet that’s exactly what the folks over at 2K Sports did last week when they awarded 24-year-old Wade McGilberry of Semmes, Alabama a million cool ones for being the first person to pitch a certified perfect game in MLB 2K10.

Fact: The Wii remote eats through AA batteries quicker than a defensive lineman eats through a training-camp buffet. 

Plenty of Wii-charging solutions cross the Sports Gamer desk on a weekly basis. Most of them work. Most of them look cool. But there is no Wii-remote charger that works better, or looks cooler, than the Wii Induction Charger series from Energizer.

MLB10 The Show: Opening Day 15

The good thing about playing virtual baseball? Opening Day festivities don't kick off until you turn on your Playstation.

So, if you somehow managed to miss out on this year's start to the real-world baseball calender -- and I have no idea how you pulled that off with Yanks-Sawx topping the slate, but if you did... -- no worries! You can still relive all the fun by booting up MLB10 The Show and kick-starting a new Career campaign.

The Skate It franchise goes portable once again this May, courtesy of Skate It for the iPhone.

Now... anyone familiar with the franchise might have doubts about such a port. And with good reason! Skate It's (the console version) dual-analog control scheme would appear to be a poor fit for the iPhone's touchscreen set-up.

Shaun White's snowboarding game was one of my favorite sports games of 2008. I especially loved carving up virtual mountains in the Wii version and the way that it seamlessly integrated the Wii Balance Board into gameplay. And now, a year later, the game gets a quickie follow-up. (Watch a trailer of the game to the right!)
