Tonight’s episode of Supernatural is called “The Girl With the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo”–and the producers got the right geek for the job.

Watching this kid’s grandma play The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is like watching a bunch of my high friends play – only the drugs she’s on are prescription… and I don’t have female friends. Who taught her hold the controller that way? Arthritis? You gotta keep your middle fingers on the trigger so that your index fingers can be free to sit on the bumpers. Kids, it’s also important to note the long-term effects that Mountain Dew can have on your teeth.

If you’re trying to figure out what you want for the holidays, you should check out the Sony PlayStation 3D Display TV. Not only does it have the highest possible definition for both 2D and 3D viewing, you no longer need to share screens (i.e. split-screens) for two-player gaming. COED had the chance to get an early look at the 24-inch display which comes out on November 13th. Check out the full review after the jump (Glasses not included).

Last week, COED was given the opportunity to review a copy of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. I snatched the package up and took it home, excited for my first experience of what has been hailed as one of, if not the, best franchises for the PlayStation 3. You play as protagonist Nathan Drake in his search for a lost city buried with endless amounts of treasure. Did the game justify it’s acclaim or does Drake get buried under the hype? Find out after the jump.

In the past decade, Spider-Man has gone from comic book character to cultural icon. During that time, the web-slinger has kind of become an obsession of mine. When COED got invited to preview Spider-Man: Edge of Time, I was naturally pumped to check it out. The concept seemed impressive but I needed to play the final version before I made my official decision. Now that I’ve finished it, I can let you know what does and doesn’t make my Spidey Senses tingle. Click the link to read our review and to find out how to enter our giveaway.

Since the collective world’s mind was blown with the release of the Atari 2600 in 1977, video game controllers have seen quite the evolution. There have been good controllers, bad controllers, and some f*cking terrible controllers. Whose brilliant idea was it to put 12+ buttons on one controller? Who is responsible for the controller that we know today? These questions and more are answered in our anthology of video game controllers after the jump!
