Its not necessarily sex that sells, it’s the virtual representation of sex that sells. It’s the promise of sex. It’s the age-old carrot on a fishing rod. But this representation has always been a few key dimensions away from fully satisfying our seemingly insatiable erotic desires.

The porno mags of yesteryear are an oxidized, decaying relic featuring one dimensional glamazons and tropical locales – locales that vastly contrasted the drab, locker-room aura of your teenage bedroom. Because that’s the thing about pornography: it’s not at all real sex. You don’t have to preform, you don’t have to be “good” at it. You can be literally anything you want.

Then came the Internet and changed the face – and bodies – of pornography forever. And with faster and faster Internet speeds, you can find anything that might suite whatever fantasies you might have. Now pornography can add another dimension with Sinful Robot, a new start up based in Irvine, California that will use virtual reality to create what could be one of the most immersive erotic encounters.

Long before The Lord of the Rings was written (the movies were still decades away), J.R.R. Tolkien sent Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, along with a company of thirteen dwarves on a quest to retrieve their dragon-guarded mountain and treasure, and now LEGO has given us The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey board game to journey through.

SPOILER: it is in The Hobbit that Bilbo finds the ring!

Take it from a first-hand Tolkien nut that played this board game at its New York Comic Con 2012 premiere, The Hobbit LEGO game is a great way to involve kids (Ages 7+) in the greatest tale crafted in the twentieth century.

With the recent influx of add-on controllers, joysticks, and gamepads for mobile devices, it is clear that next generation smartphones are becoming capable gaming machines. Titles like Grand Theft Auto may not yet offer the same high quality experience you would expect from a full fledged gaming console but, you’ll be happy to know swinging a bat and stealing a car will now feel right with GameKlip.

This handy ABS plastic clip will take the Playstation Dualshock3 controller you have come to know and love and securely attach it to your Android phone you can’t live without.

Playing games with a wireless controller on your Android phone isn’t exactly a new concept. The Sixaxis Controller app has been around for a year now and although the functionality is great, laying your screen on a table or your lap leaves a lot to be desired.

Being a gamer nowadays isn’t really a social stigma, but after a certain age people might start raising an eyebrow at your video game collection. Rather than having to explain your habits, why not cleverly disguise them as books? After all, most people appreciate and respect a person who has done a lot of reading.

Designer, James Bit, created these highbrow video game covers “to bring that virtual world back to life” in order to fit a more “mature” lifestyle. The camouflaging jackets emulate the bindings of classic Penguin books, with a few tweaks: Instead of the penguin logo, there’s a joystick and of course replacing the “Penguin Books” title is “James Bit Books.” Everything else about the design is pretty much identical. Of course, the colors weren’t added to the Penguin Book classics until a little later, but hey, nitpick.

Break out the classic video games for an electrifying experience like no other, as Genezap offers up collars that will shock players when they take critical damage.

Don’t tell me you’ve never thought about this: You know, when your sister defeated you for the seventh straight time in Mario Cart 64, and then showed you up in Sonic . . . again! And you wanted to try that shock collar the dog was wearing so badly, but not on the pooch . . .

Well a couple of French gaming enthusiasts (turned modders) took it upon themselves to craft the Genezap from the bottom of a bottle of Jagermeister (notice the bottle of Jagermeister at the 12-second mark).

There is a new fan favorite on Kickstarter today and if it’s successful, the Rift will be the reason why you’ll never be able to pull a kid away from their video game ever again. Dinner is ready? Yeah… OK.

Makers of the virtual reality gaming headset set their sights a bit low today when they quickly surpassed their $250k goal in just a matter of hours – $600k at the time of this writing. Surprisingly enough, the people lining up to back the project aren’t even necessarily gamers. Instead, Ocular is raising money by rewarding game designers who pledge a minimum of $275, with early run prototype Rifts and development kits.

ION, makers of the popular iPad gaming cabinet iCade are creating gaming magic again and this time they’re bringing it to the iPhone with the new iCade Mobile.

Like its big brother, the iCade Mobile puts real console controls in the hands of game lovers but, unlike its desktop bound predecessor, the pocket sized PSP-like device is small enough to take on the go.

When it comes to flinging an Angry Bird across the screen the iPhone makes perfect sense but, when it comes to playing the classics or running, racing, fighting, and shooting, every serious gamer knows you need a four way pad and buttons ready to take a beating.
