As I'm sure most of you are aware we are in the middle of a heated election. Just this past weekend Senator Obama has announced his vice presidential candidate, Joe Biden. So that means it's McCain's turn to pick. In case McCain needs any help, or even if Obama changes his mind, here are some other candidates that should be on the ticket.
7. Captain Falcon. The Captain.
Captain Douglas Jay Falcon is a highly skilled F-Zero pilot and a distinguished bounty hunter. Falcon is somewhat of a hardass, kicking so much ass and taking so many names that he is considered the best bounty hunter in the galaxy. Falcon is a quiet, simple man who enjoys relaxing, alone, on an island. If elected he will have his own body double, his illegally made clone: Blood Falcon. His slogan would be: Let's Falcon Punch Gas Prices!

Every video game hero that we have is out to save us from the ultimate evil. But many of those great video games also have a sidekick, and without the sidekick many of our heroes would not make it through the toughest points. Sometimes they provide us with some humor, or maybe they provide advice.
Sidekicks are more important that people tend to think. Batman had Robin. Ren had Stimpy. But people tend to leave the sidekicks out, and not give them the dues they deserve. So here's to you sidekicks: My Top 7 List of Video Game Sidekicks.
Video games can be a valuable learning tool. One thing video games can teach us is self defense. We never know when nazi's, aliens, or nazi aliens may attack us so it's a good idea to know what everyday items can be used to defend ourselves in these situations.
7. Crowbar from Half Life
The Crowbar, made famous by the Half-Life series, is a must have item if a gun isn't near by. What was once only used to open boxes can now be used to beat in the face of your enemy. If it's good enough for Gordon Freeman, it's good enough for me. I suggest you keep one under your pillow and one under the seat of your car.
Before 1999 there was peace in the NFL. This is due in part because John Madden graced the cover of the Madden games. But with the new millennium there was a new cover boy, and with that, a curse was born. Each year one of the league's top players was prominently featured on the cover. While it was and is a great honor to be on the cover, misfortune quickly followed. Each person to be on the cover has had a, to the say the least, disappointing season. Why, you ask? Because of the curse, the Madden Curse. When confronted about the rumors of a curse, Chris Erb of Ea Sports was quoted saying, " I don't know that we believe in the curse. The players don't believe in the curse ". Oh, it's real, dead real.
7. Marshal Faulk
Marshall Faulk was on the 2003 Madden cover. Marshall wasn't hit too hard with the curse compared to some people, he played the same amount of games. However, he did rush over 400 yards less and had 4 less touchdowns compared to his 2001 season. In fact it was his worst season in over 6 years. In 2006 he had to sit out due to a knee injury. Proving the Madden curse doesn't fade away after your reign on the cover.
A few weeks ago I wrote about the Top 7 things I Hated in video games. To counter what I don't like I wrote the Top 7 things in the Video Game World I wish existed IRL.
7. Hitting random crates would lead to ammo, health, magic goodness!
Life is full of stuff, furniture, boxes, crates, all type of things. In the video game world simply pistol whip all the furniture around you, and instant ammo, health, even more guns. Do a barrel roll into a barrel, get some hearts. Take your crowbar to your neighbors trashcan, and find a crossbow, at least you can in Bioshock. There are items everywhere, epically the corpses of the people you just killed, score!
This past weekend Comic Con International was held in San Diego California. Two of your GameGirls attended the event, Raychul and Nikole.

Raychul and Nikole with frozen Han Solo.
"This was the last day I was at Comic Con, Raychul saw Han and we knew we needed to take a picture with him! We had just bought matching Yoshi's. Her Yoshi is pink, mine is black."
The vast world of video games offers so many amazing adventures, characters and experiences. But with all the good there has to be some bad, and for some reason the bad likes to show up in ridiculous amounts of games. Here are the top 7 things I hate in video games.
7. Cut ScenesThe perfect game has the right amount of action and story. And just when a good game is getting great they like to throw in this epically long cut scene. Not only is the cut scene insanely long, but it's usually pretty boring, filled with bad voice acting, and oh yeah, it can't be skipped. It's even worse if you know what the cut scene says, like if you have beaten it before, and you still can't skip it!
Millions of people are enjoying the new capabilities that the new iPhone 3G and the new firmware update are allowing. Apple is flooding the market with all types of iPhone games and applications. Here are some of the must have titles you can get on your iPhone.
7. Bejeweled 2 $9.99
Bejeweled 2 is one of the most popular cell phone puzzle games. To date the first Bejeweled has been downloaded over 150 million times. It's even available as a download on the XBL arcade. Granted this isn't the most innovative game and it doesn't really take advantage of the iPhone's power but this game is a staple for any cell phone.
As heroines become more and more common in the video game industry. I realized just how many there are out there. Too many to name. They began back on the NES and have only grown as the consoles have evolved. So although I am not naming all of them, here is my list of 7 Great Video Game Heroines:
Gamers can learn a lot about things you will use in your everyday life from video games. Not all things are bad. Yes, I know cars don't reappear after a few seconds. Yes, I know you do not carry infinite ammo or have pick up food to fill up your health. But if you look behind the meaning of things that you can learn in video games, you may just see that there are life lessons behind them.
