Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia says that GameStop proved video games a financial highlight over Thanksgiving and Black Friday weekend, saying that the firm believes "video games remained a bright spot, based on our checks." Note that GameStop ran a special event that it called GameStop Family Weekend over the 11/21 - 11/23 period to coincide with the launch of Nintendo's highly anticipated (and based on reports from Nintendo, highly successful) titles Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and ​PokeÄ‚Ĺ‚mon Omega Ruby and ​PokeÄ‚Ĺ‚mon Alpha Sapphire for 3DS. In all honesty, it felt weird to see news reports on sales all weekend, but it did leave me a little eager to see what kind of price drops would pop up over Cyber Monday. Bhatia continued to say that Microsoft's Xbox One "appears" to have outsold PlayStation 4, likely thanks to its most recent price drop to $349.99 which the company says has tripled the sell through rate.

Nintendo is well accustomed to tackling legal battles around the world, particularly patent disputes that have been prominent since the phenomenal success of the Wii and DS. While Nintendo comes out on the winning side in most cases, it lost a notable case to Seijiro Tomita over the 3DS, and has been facing a worrying series of claims from major Dutch technology company Philips.

Technology Tell writes, "Over the weekend, I had some friends over for Survivor Series. Thats some wrasslin, if you dont know. A couple of them came over early to play Smash Bros., but there was this weird lull in-between ordering food and settling down for the pay-per-view. Because at least one of those friends was into Digimon at some point I said, hey, wanna try this goofball Digimon game? We played a few rounds, laughed, cried, ate more pizza. Well, that sure was a game, somebody said. Then we watched wrestling for four hours. Thus ended the lifespan of Digimon All-Star Rumble."

G3AR: "There are only a few certainties in life: death, taxes and a new FIFA game every year (that is if we disregard other annual franchises). Over the years, FIFA has evolved, matured and adapted, and it is still one of the most popular franchises on console. On the other hand, fans of the other most popular South African past time, rugby, have to wait patiently until some publisher acknowledges them and brings out a rugby game. Even then, its a hit and miss. I will go out on a limb here and say that last spectacular rugby game was Jonah Lomu Rugby on the PlayStation 1. Granted, there have been a couple decent attempts, most notably Rugby 08, but 2011s Rugby World Cup 2011 was simply a cash in on the hype surrounding the event. The more recent attempt, Rugby Challenge developed by Sidhe received mixed emotions from fans."

Over the weekend, Gamer Headlines reported on a recent Dragon Age: Inquisition mod (technically a hack via CheatEngine table) that allowed for total freecam control of the camera, allowing PC gamers to play the game from a perspective akin to Dragon Age: Origins isometric/tactical view. While that is perfectly fine and dandy, it appears that some more artistically inclined Dragon Age: Inquisition players are utilizing the aforementioned freecam mod to capture some truly captivating screenshots of the game. In particular, a reddit and Flickr user by the name of Berduu has employed the aforementioned Dragon Age: Inquisition mod in his game and taken some gorgeous screen captures from the game. Honestly, it's tough to shake the fact that they were taken directly in-game seeing as they look more like concept art or paintings.

Over the years theres been plenty of games that have tried (and failed) to show sexuality convincingly with results more often than not causing revulsion or fits of laughter rather than the desired arousal or emotion connection a sex scene can convey. Outside of those moments though, gaming is littered with little shots or sequences that, while most likely well humoured or intended to be entirely silly, come off as pretty wrong in almost everyones eyes. Heres 10 of the worst offenders.
