The first season of Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin ended today with a big bang. There was plenty of action in the season finale and even a very special guest. The GamesCom 09 flurry of news is dwindling down, Ben PerLee talked to Double Fine’s Tim Schafer, we reviewed the second chapter toTales of Monkey Island,Plants vs Zombiescoming to XBLA and iPhone and more action packed goodness struck Destructoid on 08/20/09....

First and foremost, a tremendous thank you to everyone who tuned into yesterday’s live show. Between The Destructoid Show andMash Tactics, your afternoons must be as unproductive as the day is long. Yesterday, we had a laundry list of news to cover and a handful of games to give away. First up, Valve made the surprise announcement yesterday morning thatCounter-Strike: Global Offensivewill heading to PC and consoles early next year. Coming slightly sooner than that isGoogle+ Games, now officially live and coming to a computer near you....

While the gamescom editorial team continues to argue over the choice for game of the show, the Destructoidcommunity has been hard at work votingfor its favorite, and the results are unanimous. While every day at gamescom we saw lines over six hours long to play games such asBattlefield 3andMass Effect 3, nothing stood a chance against our winner,Guild Wars 2. It never fails to stun me just how passionate thefans are, and announcing this title as our winner doesn’t surprise me at all....

This trailer for a independant film called The Legend of Zelda: Hero of Time found its way into my inbox recently. The full length feature film was created by BMB Finishes, directed by Joel Musch, and stars David Blaine — not David Blaine the magician, David Blaine the college student — as Link. The film follows the general storyline fromThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Timewith a few add-ons and has been in production for over 3 years now....

On February 17, you’ll be able to saddle up as biker Johnny Klebitz and mess around in a cruel (and new) underside ofGrand Theft Auto IV’sworld.Rockstar has tossed out a few new screens of the content. They don’t reveal much — other than Johnny isn’t that great of a driver — but they do confirm that motorcycles and a chick exist in the DLC....

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athenais basically a sequel. Sure, the game has the entirety ofEscape from Butcher Bay on the disc, but there is also a large amount of new content, aimed to immediately follow the events ofButcher Bay.While most of us would call it a sequel, Tigon Studios is afraid of that word. Their methodology is quite simple –Dark Athenais an episodic follow-up, the real sequel will be developed if fans want it....

The DOJO week started off with the return ofMaster and Crazy Hand. They will be the final bosses of Classic mode and look to be more annoying than ever. I’ve always thought they never really fit into the wholeSmashstory. On Tuesday,Pikachu’sandSamus’sSpecial moves were shown off. Wednesday brought light to theClear %display that shows up on the Subspace Emissary. Opening doors, clearing stages, getting trophies and several other factors all contribute to the Clear percentage....

Come with me readers as I take you on a journey to a time many of us wish we could go back to. A time when you had no worries about your future, money and or love life. Yes, I’m talking about childhood. I miss waking up early in the morning to cartoon shows and hot breakfasts. Now, life is all about making as much money as you can so you can afford a decent breakfast....
