For everyone that is old enough to remember, the decision to buy either a Super Nintendo or a Sega Genesis was a major one. Did you make the choice to buy the Super Nintendo — a solid, classic console with some incredible games made by a reliable company? Or did you make the hip purchase of the Sega Genesis — the arguably “cooler” of the two consoles, with games that were much more “extreme” and “hardcore” than anything offered on Nintendo’s little gray and purple machine?...

Yesterday evening saw the debut of Podcastle LIVE, an ambitious project which we undertook with no practice, planning or experience, in order to present our European podcast to a public audience who could interact with us in IRC, as well as “call in” to the show. The results were … surprisingly not all that terrible. The recording quality took a little dip, and because it was a split-second decision to mount this attempt, the lack of planning is apparent, but I think the recording we have for you ain’t too shabby....

[Every Friday, Destructoid will pose topical a question to the community. Answer it if you want!] I’ve made no secret of mydistaste for online passes, but there are plenty of others who view them as a valid method of protecting a publisher’s investment. It’s a debate that escalates aremore publishersembracethe concept. Some think companies are entitled to some money from the sale of a secondhand game, while others believe that once a product is sold, the publisher’s claim to any future transaction has expired....

The Xbox 360-exclusiveGrand Theft Autodownloadable content,The Lost and Damnedis right around the corner. February 17, to be exact. Being a substantial new piece of game, it will contain its own achievements, which Rockstar has provided toGrand Theft Autofan sites likeRockstar Watch. And they are … “Finish the story”? Talk about a spoiler, Rockstar. Now we know it ends. Unbelievablely selfish of you to ruin it, guys. The sites also got a single, exclusive screen shot of the DLC’s protagonist Johnny Klebitz, some of which you can see in our header....

The Blades of Chaos in place of wings? Brilliant! IDDQD has a whole series of pictures of Kratos photoshopped onto different game boxes. FromSuper Paper Mario,Portalto even on the cover of aWhere’s Waldobook. Some of the images simply take Kratos stills while others re-draw the vengeful god to match game’s cover. Below are some of my favorite photoshops and you may see the rest over on IDDQD. Good stuff. TheBayonettacrossover which is just disturbing....

Simon, Goeman, and Shockman — together at last. This week, the Virtual Console sees a relatively solid line-up withCastlevania(NES, 500 Wii Points);Legend of the Mystical Ninja(SNES, 800 Wii Points); andShockman(TurboGrafx 16, 600 Wii Points). Castlevanianeeds no introduction. If you’re somehow confused as to why this game is considered a gem among Virtual Console releases, go into the woods and blow bubbles with a plastic bag over your head. I’ll come retrieve your carcass after the wolves have picked it over....

A few days ago, Gearbox Software boss Randy Pitchford antagonized a fair few peopleby claiming thatValve’s Steam service was a conflict of interest and a money grab, essentially insinuating that the PC studio was up to shady shenanigans with the download platform. Fellow PC developer Tripwire has fired back at the accusations, stating that Steam is in no way exploitative and praising the distribution system. “As a small independent developer that has released multiple games on Steam, we are exactly the type of studio that Randy believes is being exploited by Valve,” argues Tripwire chief John Gibson....

Dead Risingis like a Troma movie you can play, and I mean that in a good way. In case you don’t know, Troma is the production company behind such crap-cult, horror/comedy classics asThe Toxic AvengerandClass of Nuke’em High. They’re the kind of film studio that would defintiely put a clown that juggles chainsaws and a sadistic lesbian security guard in the middle of a zombie apocalypse movie. If there was ever to be aDead Risingfilm, I always hoped Troma would make it....
