Sometimes, long-term cars arrive with little input from staff as to what options we might enjoy. Some automakers are more accommodating and allow us to build the exact car we want. Porsche is one of those. So when it came time to order a long-term Boxster S, we pored over roughly 15 pages of options and came up with a Boxster S that is the equivalent of a custom-made suit. Unfortunately, some off-the-rack staffers found the idea of a $79,075 Boxster to be wretched excess.

With its Pep Boys-inspired rear wing, fancy stick-on graphics, and a growlingly means-business exhaust note, the King of All Mustangs does not just show up - it sort of presents itself. Its appearance should be accompanied by a "ta-da!"Such as, "Ta-da! There it is rounding Turn Three!" And "Ta-da! Now it's coming into the pits!"

Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty is an interesting summer diversion. Besides being a big surprise when it was revealed last month at E3, it also serves as a story bridge between two high-profile projects. Specifically, Quest for Booty picks up sometime after Clank's disappearance in Tools of Destruction and leads directly into the next game (currently scheduled for autumn 2009) that is conveniently announced at the end of the credits when you conquer the final boss.

You've got Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. You've got Metroid, and Castlevania, and Kid Icarus. You've got almost all of the classic, legendary, franchise-establishing NES hits already available on the Virtual Console – and, today, you've got one more. The original Mega Man, Capcom's very first installment in what would go on to become the gaming industry's most prolific series of all time, has finally arrived in Nintendo's Wii Shop. You should have already stopped reading and gone to download it.

Twenty years ago, Bionic Commando swung its way onto the NES. Though many U.S. gamers never played the original, the name and difficulty have become part of gaming lore. Capcom is finally revisiting the classic with an updated version that takes everything that was good from the past, modernizes it, and then adds new layers of awesome. Bionic Commando Rearmed is the ultimate videogame remake.

Is it possible to recommend, in good conscience, a game that only really becomes enjoyable after around 10 hours? It'd be like forcing a first-time Star Wars viewer to sit through all six films, reassuring them as they squirmed miserably through the prequels that honestly, good stuff is coming, if they can only survive another few hours of Hayden Christiansen's single facial expression.
