Turn 10 added a bunch of new cars to its racer,Forza Motorsport 3, yesterday. We had meant to tell you about it, but we were to busy racing our Mercedes-Benz C63 AMGs around the track. Oh, don’t be jealous; we don’t actually own that car — it’s one of the ten cars that’s part of the “World Class Car Pack,” silly: The pack is available now for 400 MS Points; there’s a sample pack available as well, and includes the free 2010 Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart....

We’ve all wanted to pilot subterranean drills and harvest precious minerals that can be sold to old ladies for big money. Thank the sweet Baby Jesus, then, forI Can Dig It, a game in which you pilot a subterranean drill and harvest precious minerals that can be sold to old ladies for big money! Really, that’s all you need to know. You can upgrade your drill, and you have to verify not to go too deep before your machine can handle it....

You can never have enough “set stuff up to watch a chain reaction” games. Well, actually you can, but it’s always nice when a good one comes alone.Monster Crushis a game about setting up bombs, girders and other useful tools to squish aliens with trees and buildings. It’s a neat little puzzle game and thanks toOpenFeint, it’s free today. The game is simple, but clever, and is perfect for tooling around with when you’re bored....

Rounding out theDark Soulsprologue series is the final clip, though for the sake of convenience, Namco Bandai has simply thrown them all together into one video. Enjoy, if you haven’t imposed a media blackout on yourself. For everyone else who can’t get enough, do check out Allistair’s coverage of thefirst thirty minutesofDark Soulsfrom Tokyo Game Show.

Why can’t there ever just be a few bugs? They’ve always got to come in massive swarms, as evidencing once more in gaming, this time byGalaga Legions DXfor PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. I couldn’t get intoGalaga Legionsas much asPac-Man Championship Editionor itsDXpredecessor, so the tweaks are kind of lost on me here. I can say with absolute certainty, however, that you should watch this video with the volume turned up if you’re having trouble waking up....

Last weekwas a nostalgia nightmare for many readers, as we were tasked with the challenge of picking whichEarthBound(Mother) game was our favorite out of the series. Some were completely on board with the newerMother 3, while some stood by theEarthBoundgame they grew up with, but most were torn over the choices and forced to weigh the pros and cons before making a careful decision. That’s always the sign of a good debate!...

Ireported a few weeks agothat Destructoid has been invited to attend the Games Media Awards, where we are nominated for best non-commercial site/blog. Well, tonight is the night, as over 250 professionals within the games industry (and myself) are set to attend what promises to be a night of free booze … I mean, a night of journalistic celebration. FromMCV: Over 150 journalists and 100 industry execs to attend this evening’s GMAs...

You know, I was going to go to Gamescom. But I didn’t. I was busy with some personal stuff, but I was going to find a way to make it there anyway. My intentions to go lost some momentum when others told me that it couldn’t be that big of a show, and that they were not going to announce anything there. Those people were wrong. In fact, this year’s attendance makes Gamescom the largest game show in the world, saysVideoGamer....

I was at last night’s GDC preview event for EA DICE’sBattlefield 3, and holy sh*t, does it look insane. DICE showed off the PC version of the game, and I can say without a doubt that this is the best-looking first-person shooter to date. Sadly, they didn’t let us play it ourselves. DICE’s Karl Magnus Troedsson talked a little about the game and really wanted us to know that DICE is all about “quality, innovation and fun....

You know, it seems likeonly yesterdaythat I’d finally been given hope that Nintendo had decided not to keep screwing people over in the European territories. Well, looks like the Big N isn’t quite finished stomping on the Eurotrash and giving us a nice, hard kick in the teeth. If you were hoping forSuper Smash Bros. Brawlbefore Christmas — or even slightly after Christmas … think again. Fancy waiting at least five months after the US release?...

Tee Fury’s shirt tonight is more about pride AND love for yourself with the “Geek to the Link” shirt. It spoofs mostZeldacovers but it’s done in an awesome way....

As always,Gamerscoreblog unravelsmore of the New Xbox Experience mystery, with this week’s update focusing on a feature that’s been on my personal wish list for a long time: being able to browse the Xbox LIVE Marketplace from a computer. When the Xbox 360 updatehits on November 19, Xbox.com will have a fully-functioning version of the Marketplace that allows you to view, download, and even purchase content by putting the items in your queue....

[Dtoider Y0j1mb0 adds to theDestructoid Monthly Musings theme. This Good Idea, Bad Idea focuses on brutal difficulty in games. Also,Battletoadsmade me break a controller.– CTZ] Game development is serious business. Not only do you have to try to create something unique or continue with an ongoing theme, but you have to make sure all of it comes together right. Be it concept, design, mood or playability. In my opinion, one of the core pieces in every game has got to be the fine-tuning of the game’s difficulty....
