You know, I used to really really care that I didn’t get my PlayStation 3 yet. A video like this would just make me go all bat nuts and crap. But now, thanks to my belovedGears, I really don’t care anymore. So, you’re able to keep your PS3 1UP, I don’t care! Really I don’t. OK, maybe I do care. Where the hell is my PS3 Sony!!!!
E3 has come to a close but that doesn’t mean our coverage will be coming to a halt. There are still plenty more hands-on previews to come includingRock Band 2,Left 4 Dead, and much more.

Last week,our palsover atEpileptic Gamingtook a trip to China to steal communist secrets and whatnot. Because they were traveling halfway across the globe, their Monday show went MIA. And, because of this, they asked for some of their loyal brethren to produce a make-up show. Ladies and gents, I present to you the greatness that isdjnintendo’stake on EG. Why am I posting this? Because it’s funny and it shows just how far the Dtoid herpescan spread(which is pretty far)....
This video EA sent us gives a rundown of pretty much every feature you’ll find in the upcomingNBA Jamfor Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Modes and campaigns, couch play and online, HD graphics, so on and so forth are laid bare for your awareness. I really hope this game is good. I have my doubts about it, especially with how it didn’t seem like this version was going to exist on the HD consoles not that long ago....
Quick — think of a wildly successful indie developer. Chances are, you probably just named one of the people behind theIndie Fund, whose ranks include the likes of Jon Blow (Braid), and the guys from 2DBoy (World of Goo). Described as “a brand new source of funding for independent developers,” the Indie Fund seeks to work around the traditional publisher/developer relationship in favor of a more realistic and mutually beneficial funding model between the indies themselves....
Angry Birdsgets a lot of hate around various “hardcore” game communities. Even on Destructoid, a news story about the game’s success is accompanied by despair and dismissal. I think that’s wrong, becauseAngry Birdsis a damn fine game and deserves a little respect. At leastThe Jimquisitionhere is to redress the balance,like it always does.

I’m a huge Japanese television drama fan. I’m one that watches 4 or 5 of these J-dramas at once. Now, somehow I’ve missed a show calledShi15ya, but it seems that I haven’t missed much, as it plays out just like Square Enix’s DS gameThe World Ends With You. I’ve been around long enough to know that a lot of Japanese games and television shows (and movies and so on) share similar stories....
I’m a sucker for great game music, and while I certainly noticed that the music for XBLA gameBraidwas lovely while I was playing it, I found the content of the game itself so absorbing that the music gracefully blended into the background. Now that I’ve fully exploredBraidand it’s slipped out of my daily consciousness a little, returning to the score on its own was much more impactful. Luckily,it’s now for sale, so you can go and download or pick up a hard copy if you like....
I thought stupid Wii peripherals went out of fashion in 2007, but CTA, purveyors of fine plastic crap, have demonstrated otherwise. Perhaps the most absurdly pointless add-on ever created, CTA proudly presents theWings for Wii, which is exactly what you think it is… a pair of f*cking wings that you strap your hands while playing the Wii. Jesus frigging Christ on a pisspot. The wings are “designed” for use with the Bird’s Eye Bull’s Eye minigame inWii Fit Plus, and allegedly needs to be purchased to “add a sensation that you will not feel mimicking a flying chicken with your hands alone....
I’ve been hearing an awful lot about Norse mythology lately, what withThoropening this week and the obligatory licensed games being rushed to store shelves. While the DS versionlooks potentially great— it was developed by WayForward, makers of awesome — I can see how all of this stuff would be a hard sell for many of you. I’ll kindly point you towardThor: Bring the Thunder!, a free web-based platform game. It’s basically what happens when you mash upThorwithMega Man....
If you were to go by the above video on its own merits, you might be tempted to squeeze out a few laughs at Nintendo’s expense regardingTomb Raider: Anniversary‘s port from the PlayStation 2 to the Wii. The good news is that if you’ve been paying attention to thedeveloper diariesof the game, you know that the interactivity goes far beyond this.In addition to aiming the flashlight in those poorly lit confines of said tombs, the Wiimote enables players to interact with the environment in ways that mimic the real thing....
