Shipping this week: absolutely nothing edition


A new year is upon us, and it looks like the game industry is still suffering from a collective hangover, as there are hardly any new games this week, and none at all for our beloved 360. So, instead of a handy bulleted list, we present you with this clip from UHF, Weird Al Yankovic's best (and only) film. We hope you enjoy it. Come to think of it, maybe they should make a UHF game. Hell, since we have no real games to buy this week, let's come up with some fake ones that we'd like to see. Any ideas? Make sure you come up with some achievements, too.

3. Weird Al's ONLY film? You need to track down a copy of "The Compleat Al". Released four years previous to UHF. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Compleat_Al

4. Ok, Prior to. My bad. Anyway, UHF is definitely the better of the two films, though.
