I'm totally blown away that I have not purchased both of these Xbox 360 and PS3 fighting joysticks already! Where's my credit card? If you spent as much time as I did trolling the neighborhood pizza-joint arcade, you recognize my excitement.

I'll be the first to tell you that some video games freak me out. I won't even get into how Doom 3 gave me nightmares for days — mechanical spiders with baby heads, anyone? — but yet I still kept playing!

Although Steve
announced its release yesterday at the Let's Rock presentation, I got a chance to play with the newest game to hit the App Store at the
Spore Release party last week. Spore Origins officially launched for the iPod Touch and iPhone on Monday and comes in at a cool $10 for your gaming pleasure.
Although the full version of Spore on your Mac or PC will take you all the way through Cell to Space stages, Spore Origins is condensed down into 30 levels in the Cell stage only (
which was one of my faves anyway).

The release of highly anticipated video games usually conjures up thoughts of
long lines, depressing sold-out signs on store fronts, and waiting – oh painful waiting – those extra few days for your preorder to arrive while all your pals brag about how they've already made it to the final level. Booo!
Thankfully, Amazon has come to rescue you from your game-day troubles with its
Release-Date Delivery service.
