They have hot accent and they know their way around a handgun. These British heroes know how to bring it and then some. Our allies from across the pond sure know how to bring it. Here are the Top 7 British Badasses.

7. Simon Cowell

Yes, Simon Cowell is a real person, but more importantly he's in a video game. Simon stars as a judge in the American Idol series of video games. There were two games because apparently the first one sold so well they needed more. Like his IRL counterpart, Simon is brutaly honest.

The next big game to come from 2K Games is the fast-paced, stylish RPG-shooter Borderlands, where gamers will find themselves on the desert planet of Pandora in the middle of a creative and ever-changing story.

When I first got my hands on Borderlands, I was skeptical. What could this FPS-RPG really offer that hasn't already been done? Well, read on to see exactly what the game has to offer.

In honor of my 21st birthday today, I decided to make a top 7 list for that special age. The top 7 drunkards in video games. That's right. And not just any drunks, oh no. Characters who are not only known for drinking a little, but are notorious for getting wasted and are typically in that stance when stumbled upon. Are you readfghy;'?

Cheat Codes. Yes they are a form of cheating, because you’re not accomplishing the task yourself. You’re using a code or glitch to manipulate the system. But there are many gamers ho love to use them. The earliest form I remember of this is the Game Genie. However, if it is for personal game play, I do not see a problem with things like unlocking vehicles or getting on top of maps in Halo 2. So welcome to the Gaming Codes segment dedicated to giving you the codes to your favorite games. Some may help you out, others you may not be interested in. But do yourself a favor and save before you use any of these codes, as you may know, sometimes the codes can be fun for a little while, but get in the way later on. And nobody wants to redo any game play they don’t have to.

These Top 7 Lists give me a chance to get my voice out there, to speak to a large audience about the issues. Today I will take full advantage of this power and responsibility. Today, we talk Top 7 Turtles. Issues.

7. Pokemon Turtles

Basically any list with animals can allow me to be lazy and pick Pokemon. Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise are the turtle type Pokemon from Red/Blue/Yellow games. Then there is Shuckle from the next gen. Torkoal, Turtwig, Grotle, Yorterra round out the rest.

For lack of a better title, here is a list of must-see movies that focus on our favorite things: geeks. The theme here is tentatively "movies with plots centered around gaming/ geek culture." So basically, the rule here: It has to be a movie that isn't based on a game already made, rather the plot must revolve around games/ being in games/ geek culture in general. Make sense? Just check out the list, you'll catch on!

On The Game Show last week we talked Wii Sports Resort as the Game of the Week. That got me thinking about all the other games out there about vacations. Times are tough, money isn't flocking like the salmon of Capistrano any more. With the lack of funds most people have, or don't have rather, maybe it will be best to take a virtual vacation free of tourists and sunscreen.

7 -Wii Sports Resort

This game is so much more than a sequel to Wii Sports. No, it has Wii Motion Plus now! Wii Sports Resort takes place on beach resort island called Wuhu island. Woohoo, indeed. Can't go on vacation this summer, don't worry, this game has 12 mini games, none of which involve you actually going outside. Was there sarcasm in this, you be the judge.

Some people just want to have a unique wedding. Something that can truly make their special day memorable. What better way to stand out from the tradition them to have a nerdy themed wedding? It's guaranteed to be a wedding your family and guests won't forget! Here are the 7 nerdiest weddings that I stumbled upon.

This week on The Game Show, with guest Jessica Chobot, our Game of the Week was Super Monkey Island and in honor of the super monkeyness going on I decided to honor our video game monkey brethren. Go Thumbs! 

7. AiAi Super Monkey Ball

The main character and hero of Super Monkey Ball is AiAi. His mission is to save Jungle Island and his wife MeeMee. When he's not saving the world or rolling around he's usually chilling with the wife and kid. However, being that he's been in over twelve games, he's usually just rolling around.
