This is a sure-to-be-interesting essay on Gamasutra about what those truly difficult games from yesteryear can teach us about game design, and how difficulty in videogames has changed over the years.
It's a long one, but a great topic.

This was by far one of my most favorite cartoons from when I was growing up.
It contained a bunch of different characters from Nintendo games, and I just remember always thinking it was so cool that this normal kid got be in this video game world.
Nostalgia at its best.

I haven't even looked at this whole list, but I already know it's going to be a keeper.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that I will both have heard of all of these games, and maybe even played half of them.

This kid(?) has a *ton* of video games. I mean, just look at the pictures here.
This is an interview with the owner, who appears to be pretty reclusive and just plain odd - he only answered 10 of the 17 questions posed to him.

I now own this book, and it is fantastic.
It's a compilation of a bunch of artists' drawings and creations inspired by the heyday of gaming.
I can only hope they continue to put out more books of the same ilk.

Will Wright is most certainly on the short list of great game developers.
He also happens to be damn smart; I mean, he's the guy behind all things Sim(s), and his next game Spore looks *awesome*.
This essay of his for Wired Magazine discusses "how games are unleashing the human imagination." Great stuff.

A documentary about one man's mission to beat the 20 year old high score record for Missile Command.
For now, watch the trailer. I'm not too sure how to actually see the movie.

These are great gifts. I can add them to my account, and as they release games for the virtual console on the Wii, I can download them!
Awesome.

A zombie game. Loads and loads of zombies to kill make for lots and lots of fun.
I knew this game was great as soon as I walked into the toy store in the mall and was able to pick up a giant teddy bear to beat zombies over the head with.

I used to play a lot of the Rainbow Six games on the PC back when they first started coming out. I've been surprised how much fun I've had with another Tom Clancy game that came with my 360, Ghost Recon.
This game got a really good review, and seems like a must play.
