Despite what you may have heard,Zeldaisn’t as perfectly crafted as you may think. Yes, it contains bugs, just like the rest of ’em. Don’t believe me? Watch this video and see for yourself. Here’s what happened: After getting my iron boots, I was headed back to the mountain area with my trusty horse. As I went to jump a fence — that you must jump to proceed — I was attacked by a flying creature....

But there are some good opportunities to score some good prices on games.Halo: Reach, Fable III, Assassin’s Creed: BrotherhoodandNBA Jamare all marked down by $20, along with a number of this year’s new sports titles....
I’m a sucker for any game with cards in it. Name it, and I’ve dug it. That crap DS game (name ’em).Culdcept, Magic the Geek Gathering, Baiten Kaitos, Eye of Bullsh*t Camera. Done them all. Game makers, take comfort in knowing that if you make a card game, you’ll sell at least one copy. There’s a new one, and it looks pretty good.Creature Defenseis a blend of tower defense and card strategy....

Budget dinosaur murder simulatorJurassic: The Huntedis out this week on all consoles, which is breaking news in and of itself. But to sweeten the deal, we have some unedited gameplay footage from the Wii version courtesyof Go Nintendo. Judging by the same punch-a-dinosaur-in-the-face-because-you-can sequencefound in the trailerfor the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 versions ofJurassic: The Hunted, I have a feeling it’s the same exact game, just with lesser visuals; as if that even matters for this kind of, uh, “experience” in the first place....
Videogames have been linked with murder cases in the past, but things have gotten ridiculous with the news that they’re causingimaginarymurders.

When police descended on the scene of the crime, they discovered somebody was just playing a Kinect boxing game and not, as reported, committing murder....

Following that, we’ll play50 Cent: Blood on the Sandbecause we have got to get our f–king skull back....
You always hear about these homebrew Dreamcast games still being released. For the most part, that’s just sad. Now, if it were Super Nintendo games…well, that’s still cool. I don’t know why, but I’m all over playing new SNES experiences. The 1990’s are cool again, right? Should you have the programming ability to make a new SNES game, the Quickdev 16 makes it relatively easy for you to bang out something tangible....

This is creepy. Through the mystical force of the Internet, we here at Destructoid have discovered a video so awesome it has the power to magically control your finger to hit the Caps Lock and immediately type exclamations like “OMG!” and “DO WANT!” in the comments. I know it’s hard to believe, but you have to trust me on this.* Mixing 2D sprites with dizzying 3D environments, YouTube userwartwartxhas created an incredible 2....
