All around the world last weekend, people united for one common cause: to make awesome video games in 48 hours. We take a look at the Global Game Jam, and the single most important entry to come from it - "I Hate Ice Levels," a video game all about Bytejacker! We also take a look at the weirdest games you've ever loved... and they get pretty weird.

Video games, you know? They can get a little... odd. For every run-of-the-mill space combat FPS that's out there, there's a Muscle March or a Katamari Damacy. Here are your picks for the best and oddest games out there.
