aotsG4tv is initiating its new Attack of the Show co-host, Candace Bailey, by forcing her to undergo a series of challenges to test her hosting skills. While no one can pretend to like video games like replace Olivia Munn, who doesn't want to watch a hot chick shoot guns, eat disgusting foods, and take dominatrix lessons? [G4TV]

THQ and Mattel have joined forces to explore "the videogame and interactive potential" of various properties—including, uh, Masters of the Universe. Yeah, it's only a matter of time before we're controlling the most powerful man in the universe against the evil forces of Skeletor.

January's typically a slowish month for new game releases, but PS3 fans have plenty to look forward to this month: Little Big Planet 2, Mass Effect 2 (finally!), Two Worlds II, and Dead Space 2 all drop this month. Oh, and a little game called DC Universe Online makes its debut as well. Come see us, we'll be playing as Mr. Mxyzptlk! [Gamers Mint]

Their latest mind-numbing app, Cityville, has become the fastest-growing game of all time, dashing any hopes we had that our Facebook news feeds will ever be spam-free. [Joystick Division]
