Announcing SNL staffer Andy Samberg as Geek of the Week may seem silly - given that geekiness seems to run deep in the blood of all the show's cast members- but following his genius Junk in a Box skit with Justin Timberlake, and the barrage of remakes (my favorite being How to Get a Guy in Silicon Valley) it seems it's time to celebrate Andy for his wit, humor and of course, his chic sense of geek.
Samberg, seen above with SNL castmate and fellow geek Seth Meyers, is a native of Berkeley, Calif., which happens to be a rival of my Alma mater. Samberg was one of three LA-based writer-performer-filmmakers (all childhood friends) dubbed "The Lonely Island" whose short films were showcased on the popular "untelevised television network" show and website: Channel 101.com.

Remember the days of Super Mario where running, jumping, and spitting fireballs was the ultimate in fun? Space Chimps brings a bit of that nostalgia back, with this easy, breezy game based on the movie of the same name, but doesn't quite make it to Mario levels of awesome.
It's obvious that this title was aimed at the kiddie gamers with its endless life stock and simple controls, but I have to give Space Chimps credit — it is kinda fun.
