I'm still trying to figure out what the prize should be for my Destructoid March Madness Tournament Bracket Contest I'm hosting. I have gone to a couple of game stores looking for ideas, but I haven't come up with anything good yet. I know I want it to be video game related, and I would really like it to be tied into basketball somehow. At first I thought a great prize would be a copy of Double Dribble for the NES. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a copy of one yet. I then thought about a copy of Mario 3vs3 Basketball for the Nintendo DS, but I'm not sure everyone has a DS. Suffice to say, I'm having a hard time and I need your help. If you have any ideas please let me know. I really want there to be a prize for this contest.

Well I don't have much else to say, so let's get on with the recap shall we.
