$1240 Resident Evil 6 Platinum Edition
The $1240 price tag is pretty ridiculous for any kind of video game, but seriously Capcom? Even if it does include an awesome Leon S. Kennedy leather jacket, four phone cases, platinum edition of RE6, it is a bit overpriced for many gamers. Oh, and it’s only available in Japan too.

Google Maps Goes 8-bit!
If you haven’t noticed, Google Maps on the computer has the option of going 8-bit for those who want to check it out, especially those who have an affinity for old school/retro graphics! All you need to do is to click the icon in the top right and switch it to Quest!
[UPDATE: APRIL 2, 2012] It seems this 8-bit feature has been taken off Google Maps after the weekend and was one of those April Fools jokes. It was a pretty neat feature to have. I’m hoping Google puts it back into their Maps function as a fun way to go about using their maps even though 8-bit maps may not be something that will be used every time someone looks up a location or directions.
