World of Nintendo

9) Spaced out
How best to sell insanely fast arcade shooter Geometry War: Galaxies? Why, by hiring a gang of Tron extras to leap around a living room of course. Set to They Might Be Giants' rather odd universe hierarchy dissection sing-song, Particle Man, a mildly hallucinogenic ad gets odder still when a pink box-man screams "Baaaahhhhh!" and our heads implode.

10) Tats amazing
Another month, another amazing Nintendo tattoo. Of particular note is the Bowser pasted in the elbow pit - by bending and straightening the arm it looks as if he's talking.

11) Old people
It's embarrassing to see the old folks of the Riderwood retirement community standing up for a game of Wii Sports baseball, only to turn around and see team GamesRadar attempting to play the same games with the maximum level of slouch-dom possible. The big question: is that umpire actually alive?

12) A strum in the dark
Videogame pianist Martin Leung has forced practitioners of blind-play out onto YouTube. Lucas Vandanezi strums a mean Super Mario Bros, though the concentration combined with blindfold makes it look like he's performing at gunpoint.
