Wheels of Destruction!
Are you ready for combat vehicles? Does ripping a car into metal sinew and carnage sound like a blast to you?

In a lawless, post-apocalyptic world, Wheels of Destruction pits you in a kill-or-be-killed competition of extreme four-wheel wreckage. This arcade-style, third-person multiplayer shooter features team death matches, free-for-alls, and capture-the-flag frenzies.
You’ll battle to crush opponents, slaying everything in your path of relentless devastation, both online and off.

Valentine’s Day for Gamers
Love is in the air on the most romantic day of the year. How many are expecting a dozen red roses, chocolate hearts, a bottle of fine champagne and diamond jewelry? And how many plan to spend some quality time with computers and/or consoles alongside your cherished companion? Does that sound too geeky? Nah!
There’s some serious passion in video games going as far back as the early 1980s. Remember Pacman and Ms. Pacman?
Yes? No? Well, how about when Nintendo entered our lives. Now, granted not all readers will have the same opinion regarding who counts as a ‘couple’. Look at Mario and Princess Peach; the princess could have any mushroom man in her kingdom but she gave her heart to a lowly plumber from Brooklyn, New York, who saved her time and time again from a vile lizard king.
Oh! No gamer could ever forget the kindhearted kinship between Princess Zelda and the dashing, heroic Link. There’s just something so romantic about a man with pointy ears wielding a magic sword, not to mention all the quests he has to endure to rescue the princess from a wicked sorcerer.
How about Drake and Elena from the Uncharted series. Have you ever seen two video game characters who are so brilliantly made for each other?
There’s almost a kind of Romancing the Stone feel between them. For those unfamiliar with the movie look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romancing_the_stone
Seriously, don’t Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner remind you a little of Drake and Elena, or vice versa (for those of us who know the film).
Because everyone seems to agree that the Final Fantasy games have at least three couples scattered throughout the series (Cloud and Aerith/Tifa, Squall and Rinoa, Tidus and Yuna) we’ll move on to more darker elements in romance.
Let’s look at the tenderness between Jackie Estacado and Jenny Romano in The Darkness. Jackie is a cursed killing machine roaming around the mean streets of New York, yet he becomes vulnerable when in the presence of the endearing Jenny. Unfortunately, the forces of evil intervene resulting in devastating consequences.
Then there’s James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2 who is still in love with his deceased wife Mary, even traveling to the mysterious town of Silent Hill when he receives a supposed letter from her despite that she’s already dead. Both creepy and touching.
Since we’ve agreed that opinions vary, why not share yours?
