Move over Twilight! We all know you stole your whole Team Edward vs. Team Jacob promotional advertising tactic from the original…Team Luigi vs. Team Mario! That’s right, we are bringing back the old sibling rivalry because it’s not receiving the credit its due. So help out your fellow gamers to expose the fraud that Twilight is for trying to copy our legends by rocking an imprinted t-shirt like the one shown here. No vampire or wolf-man has what it takes to take on these two punching plumbers!

If you’ve seen the trailers for this game then you know how awesome it looks. Based on the highly influential classic poem from The Divine Comedy, Dante’s Inferno leads you on an epic quest of vengeance and redemption through the Nine Circles of Hell. Playing as a veteran from the Crusade’s, you, as Dante, embark on a wild chase to rescue your love, Beatrice’s soul from Lucifer. As you pursue her deeper and deeper into Hell, you’ll face some incredible fierce and hideous monsters, while simultaneously dealing with your own inner turmoil…riddled with sins from war crimes and a troubled family past. This custom game is one that will have you on “the edge of your seat” and it is definitely one that I recommend playing.

BUTTON
So I can’t believe that this thing is actually a game. Apparently TechChrunch has released a game for the iPhone where the main point is to…get this…push a button when it lights up. And no, there aren’t a lot of buttons or any kind of weird side things you have to do…you really just sit there and press a button. Sounds pretty mundane right? Although…I’m not going to lie, I’m sitting here playing it right now, and it’s kind of addicting. Ok, so I’m not. But either way this thing has managed to sell. I wonder what other kind of similar promotional games there are out there, because a) I want to play them, and b) I want to see how degrading some of us gamers have become. It’s almost like the developers of this game just threw custom computer & technology ideas out of the window with this, and asked a three year old what he or she found interesting.

This customized mesh trucker hat is for all the Nintendo Wii addicts out there. Can’t stop thinking about that missing gold coin from level 3-3 in the new Wii Mario Brothers? Won’t sleep until you bowl a perfect 300 game in Wii Sports? Have you thrown your Wii controller through your TV screen more than once? Maybe it’s time to go to WiiHab and break the cycle of your addiction. Remember, the first step to recovery is buying a hat.

Check out this awesome custom t-shirt I found on Flickr. Video games have ruined my life too, but I looked up the God Mode cheat codes a long time ago. Take that, life! Seriously though, this is a great tee for any video game lover - where can I buy one?

To promote the release of the new Mario & Sonic Winter Olympics game for Wii, Sega is giving away this awesome snowboard to the lucky winner who can make up the coolest new snowboard trick. The bottom of the board features Mario and Sonic, while the top has logos for each character featured in the game. The snowboard is a cool promotion that fits perfectly with the winter Olympic games theme. Custom mittens or promotional winter hats are some other good product ideas - we’ll keep our eyes peeled to see if any other cool Mario & Sonic schwag hits the streets.

This heat-sensitive coffee mug boasts the layout of a familiar arcade game - it’s called “Pac Boy” on the product page, neatly sidestepping copyright violations - which becomes populated with a bunch of equally familiar characters when hot liquid is added. They also have a version with graphics from “Space Intruders” - use your imagination on that one - where a blank starry sky signals tepid coffee or (horror!) no coffee at all, but a sky full of aliens means you’re good to go.

Yes, this is exactly what it looks like - 7-11 is offering limited edition plastic cups featuring God of War III artwork for their Slurpees this week, which is pretty much a gamer geek’s dream come true. There’s even a themed Slurpee for the promotion, a blackberry-lime flavor in a fetching shade of blue called “Kratos Fury.” Ok, that doesn’t sound all that appetizing, but let’s face it, neither does the word “Slurpee.” Does this make them any less addictive? Of course not. Anyway, when you buy a Slurpee in one of these promotional cups, you receive point codes that can be used toward promotional game merchandise like wallpapers, Playstation themes, videos, and in-game costumes for characters when you redeem them at Slurpee Rewards. Not a bad deal, considering how many of the sugary beverages you could end up slurping down this week…

When Pac Man gets tired of chowing down on flashing dots, he likes to kick back and relax with a good book…or, judging from this photo, a whole lot of good books. The bookcase, designed by Ginepro, is called “Puckman,” most likely to avoid the nasty copyright issues that might be invoked by mentioning our yellow video game buddy, but we all know his real identity. All a room with this on the wall needs is a bunch of lamps shaped like ghosts…

This cute custom dress is made to look just like an old-school Game Boy controller. The classic portable game system’s design has been replicated in countless other products (from wallets like this one to fully operational costumes [!]), but most of those were intended for, well, boys. Finally, the girl gamers get some apparel worthy of this classic gadget.
