I’ve come to realize that this section has had a distinct lack of Mitchell & Webb. Luckily, this is soon to be rectified. This week’s not-game-related video presents proof that there is no God. Enjoy that, why don’t you?
As usual, the Destructoid staff played some videogames. How about that? Hit the jump to see which ones they were, because you totally give a crap about that kind of thing and aren’t just chomping at the bit to tell everybody what you played as if anyone gives a stuff.
Thanks.
Chester:ModNation Racers, a bit ofIron Man 2,Skate 3, and I put a DVD Disney sent me labeled “Split/Second” into my Xbox 360 debug but it didn’t work. And then I cried. Reviews of all of those games coming within the next two weeks.
Ross:Street Fighter IVandPicross 3D
Sterling:Finally finishedNier(review tomorrow, maybe). I am totally conflicted about that game. Amazing story, great characters, solid combat, but absolutely drenched in awful everything else. Been replayingBorderlandstoo, this time on PC, since all the DLC came my way free of charge. Zombie Island is fun, but the map design is kind of shitty. Also rocked a littleLeft 4 Dead 2, as usual, and of course finished up Alan Wake for the review that you can see on Destructoid right now!
Loads of stuff on the iPod Touch again, but too much to name. Highlights includeSuper Turbo Action PigandRhythm Tap. So there.
PerLee:I just finishedAlan Wake, and hooboy, that was a game I really enjoyed. Didn’t like the ending 100 percent, but I play through it again to see what’s what.
Also, been rocking someSSFIV. Switched from a main of Zangief to Dudley, and haven’t looked back. It’s a fun game.
Grim:Penumbra,Aquaria,Glover, andBanjo-Tooie. What a bizarre week it’s been.
Razak:Finally finishedThe Whispered Worldafter struggling for a good while to get it to run on my crappy computer. Review coming this week. Otherwise it’s been pretty dead. I didn’t even get to playDiabolical Boxthat much because of my lack of using public transportation this week.
Tolentino:Whispering Eyesounds like some kind ofLord of the Ringsspinoff where you play as Sauron.
Anyway, I’ve got something along the lines of half a dozen games absolutely worth playing, but besidesSakura Warsall I can think of is playing theStarcraft 2beta and getting my build order down. Such is the power of Blizzard’s baby.
North:Agarest War? What is going on here
Concelmo:@Jordan,Glover? I love you. <3
I finished up my second Luigi playthrough ofSuper Mario Galaxyin preparation for the OMGONLYTWOWEEKS arrival ofSMG2. Yup, still can’t get that Luigi’s Purple Coins star. As some of you so politely pointed out in my last feature, I must be bad at videogames. Haha. 😉
Also playing some more ofAce Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworthbefore starting upAlan Wakeand3D Dot Game Heroeslater this week. I really loveMiles Edgeworth. Such a great game.
Sarkar:I continued to play theHalo: Reachbeta this week, and got better and better at the game. I like Team SWAT, because it really forces you to go for headshots, and the new mode — Invasion — is cool. However, Invasion Slayer seems terribly unbalanced: every time I’ve played it, the Elites have slaughtered the Spartans. But I was playing with a group of 11 other Dtoiders on Friday night, and we discovered areallyfun mode that we designed ourselves: Team Slayer on Powerhouse… where everyone’s playing with the Airborne loadout. Jetpacks make everything better!
On Friday, I went to a 2K Sports event at Citi Field, where I met the guy who won $1 million by throwing a perfect game inMLB 2K10. I played against him in the game — check back tomorrow for details on how that turned out!
Holmes:Have some sort of virus that’s playing havoc with my attention span, so I haven’t always been able to play the games I want to. When I was really feeling bad, I focused on Treasure games likeSin and Punishment,Advance Guardian HeroesandGunstar Super Heroes. Though these games take work to play, they also electrify you pretty much non-stop. The effort vs stimulation ratio is defintiely heavy on the stimulation side for those games.
When I was feeling better, I got back into theBit.Tripgames,Super Street Fighter 4andMonster Hunter Tri, which also stimulate, but require a lot more effort. The final test of my health was last night, when I managed to concentrate through another case inAce Attorney Miles Edgeworthand the first hour ofClock Toweron the SNES. The battle against frontal lobe impairment has been won!
