22 Classic Board Game Commercials More Fun Than Their Games

Posted 2/7/12 11:00 am EST by Carl Williott in Games, TV, Video

Two days later and we still have Super Bowl (commercial) fever. We've been on YouTube for days feeding our hunger for awesome Super Bowl ads new and old. And as we traveled further down the rabbit hole, we stumbled across some wonderfully over-the-top commercials from the '80s and early '90s--most of them promoting the SUCKIEST board games ever.

It seems as if every board game company from 1980 to 1996 spent 4 percent of their budget on developing the game and 96 percent on coming up with a kick-ass commercial. And the best part is how they all end with some snotty kid exclaiming, "I win!" But they never show the real outcome, which is one smug, happy child and three other kids crying and/or throwing pieces across the room.

Well today, everyone wins because we're rolling out the nostalgia trunk and have 22 awesome board game commercials from our childhood (or even before some of your were born).

Best Sports Games Of 2011

Posted 12/9/11 10:00 am EST by Danny Gallagher in Games, Sports

Fighting hordes of zombies with rusty tools is fun, but even the most hard-core gamer needs a break from fiction by taking a trip to the sports world. Since most gamers don't have the physical stamina necessary to participate in a pickup game, sports video games have become the next best thing, and 2011 has been a better than average year for the field. There haven't been new leaps into unfamiliar territory, but the classics managed some dramatic improvements with interactive gameplay and added jaw-dropping graphics. This is all evidenced in the exceptionally competitive sports categories at this year's Video Game Awards and our top 10 list below.

Best Babes In Video Games Of 2011

Posted 12/6/11 3:00 pm EST by Danny Gallagher in Games, Ladies

Video games have come a long way from the days when a purple square represented a leather-clad heroine fighting a group of medieval zombies in nothing but a skinned fur bra and matching thong.

Back then, we had to use our imagination to truly enjoy the deep characterization that 8-bit technology could provide our hormonally charged minds. Thanks to the movie quality advancements in video game design, simulated physics and sound mixing, gamers can enjoy the same bosomy heroines and shapely ass-kickers that we could only see in movies or our dad's Playboys. 2011 goes down as a quality year in video games, but especially for video game's baddest babes.

Best Of MTV Clutch's 'Best Of' Lists In 2011

Posted 12/6/11 11:00 am EST by Brett Smiley in Celebs, Games, Ladies, Movies, Music, Sports, Tattoos, TV

Time to get meta! But first, a step inside the world of blogging. Sometimes we create lists rooted in current events, like the 15 best rap-staches because November was "Movember." Other times we make stuff based on dark, lingering thoughts, such as 33 words for "ladyflower" that come from kids' TV. Most of those ideas don't see the light of day, and they shouldn't.

When we looked back at end of the year at all the cool, silly, idiotic, clever things we've done, we decided--hey, why not put them all together and effectively recycle them into one big post?! So that's exactly what we've done. Check out 30 of our best of 2011 lists below.

'Yoostar On MTV' Allows You To Be The Situation

Posted 11/17/11 12:00 pm EST by Ryan McKee in Games, TV, Video

We've all wondered how it must feel to be Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino on "Jersey Shore." Not just because we'd love to sport those abs but also his ability to say the most outlandish things with absolute confidence. The new video game "Yoostar On MTV" cannot give you a ripped six-pack, but it does allow you to play The Situation.

"Yoostar on MTV" for Xbox 360 Kinect is a party game with a unique twist--you'll actually want to play when other aren't forcing you. With brand-new technology that projects a virtual green screen behind players, this video game put you in MTV shows like "Jersey Shore," "The State," "Human Giant" and more. It also ups your karaoke game by throwing you into music videos by the likes of Snoop Dogg, Diddy and All American Rejects.

The feature that will make this game a viral success, though, is the ability to upload these videos online. Thousands of people can be internet stars because their videos will be so bad that they're funny, or so great that they're surprising. Don't take my word for it, check out the following user videos to see for yourself.
