At Entertainment Earth, pre-orders are now being taken for this set of fourChrono Triggercollectibles. These staggeringly beautiful diorama pieces recreate artwork from the original game’s manual. The set is going for $40 and will be released in October. I’m not the biggest fan ofChrono Triggerby any stretch of the imagination, but even I’m thinking about how good these would look sitting on my shelf. I’m particularly partial to the scene with Chrono fighting with Magus, which looks gorgeous....

Destructoid loves chiptune. We love the scene, the music is great and these guys really know how to throw a concert.Reformat the Planetis a documentary that wasreleased last Auguston how the chiptune scene started, Blipfest and focuses on the various musicians. Well the documentary is now on Hulu for all to enjoy. Well, all that are in the United States. If you may’t view it on Hulu, you could always buy the DVD onFangamer....

While many of us are more compelled byThe Riddlerbecause we must get one-hundred percent completion and can’t be helped, you have to give credit to Two-Face as well. We got adecent lookat Rocksteady’s take on the character already. Now, we have high-resolution art of the grumpy fellow — and background details, which are slightly creepy. Just slightly. Is it October yet?

Microsoft is currently chasing the golden goose that is the so-called “casual” gamer, to the point where the Xbox 360 is about to be marketed as a source of karaoke games and wacky camera antics. A far cry from the “shooterbox” of old. Cliff Bleszinski, creator of one of the Xbox 360’s biggest “hardcore” shooting games, hastalked abouthowGears of War 2fits into MS’ plans. He talked about this in London, where I live, but I did not see him myself because Microsoft’s UK PR is sh*t....

I told them not to toy with nature. Now look what they have done. Comments of the Week is a feature where we scour the front page, community blogs and forums picking out comments. The ones that make you think, the ones that make you laugh and the ones that make you cry (but also laugh), and consolidate them into an entertaining package for the viewing pleasure of you, the Destructoid community....

All of us here at Destructoid would like to say congratulations toCheapyDand Wombat over atCheap Ass Gamerfor hitting the 5,000 download mark on episode #59 of their podcast — look out for episode #60 this week. This is a big milestone for them and is worthy of a little recognition. For those of you who don’t know what CAGcast is, let me give you a little run down: CheapyD started the site back in May of 2003 out of his passion for finding games at cheap ass prices and wanting to spread the word to the rest of the Internets....

Today’s episode of Constructoid is a little different. For starters, it’s longer thanthe twoprevious episodesput together. That’s largely because my two guest panelists (Bayonetta and Princess Peach) are the characters actually on the receiving end of the criticism this time. It’s a full-on dialog here; people bare their souls. It’s intense. I also wanted to shortchange neither the panelists nor the topic. Just like religion, politics, and race, talking about gender can really flip a switch in people....

Do you remember the claymation adventure game Neverhood? Many of you won’t, but I am willing to bet at least a few of you do. For those people, you’ll be quite excited to learn that it may be coming to your mobile phone in the future. Bazinga Studios is interested in porting the 1996 for the mobile market and is currently in negotiations. Though it won’t say more than that, it seems pretty serious about the endeavor, so hopefully those who missed this cult game can get a second change....

Darksiderswas a superb game. Not only did it get a 9.0 in its very ownDestructoid review, it was also clinically proven to bebetter thanZelda. However, it was not perfect, especially with regards to some rather shameful screen-tearing issues. Fortunately,Darksidersis going to get just that bit better thanks to Wednesday’s patch! The patch will be for the Xbox 360 version of the game, and will arrive as an automatic update for anybody firing the game up....

When it comes toGod of War III, it doesn’t take much to get us excited. With Sony barely revealing the game at E3 with a CG teaser trailer, we’re already drooling all over ourselves not having seen a single frame of the game in action. But David Jaffe, the designer of the original PlayStation 2 title, has and certainly he liked what he saw. A lot. “I sawGod of War IIIwhen I was in Santa Monica last week,” he writes onhis blog, “I [can’t] and will not give away details, but I think it’s OK for me to say two things — HOLY HOLY HOLY F**KING HELL!...

Another game, another prequel novel. The unlikely candidate this time is Deep Silver’sDead Island, with a book penned by British fantasy author Mark Morris. Seriously? Yeah, seriously. “For guests of the five-star Royal Palms Resort it was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime dream holiday; an escape to the stunning beaches of a tropical paradise unlike any other,” reads the summary. “But a mysterious zombie outbreak suddenly — and without warning — rips apart the pacific paradise island of Banoi, and four individuals with distinctive backgrounds and abilities seem to be unaffected by the zombie apocalypse....
