Rogue Jam‘s panel of judges — including former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé — have spent the last few months picking the show’s top contenders, and each new…
Upon its 2011 Wii release, the most striking element of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was the use of 1:1 motion controls to manipulate Link’s sword and other objects.

And to promote the appearance, both WWE Superstars went to Twitter last week with a quick game of “30 Second Shot Clock,” wherein Austin asked Rhodes a series of rapid-fire questions covering topics from fast food to amusement parks.
