Nice. I put this on my Christmas list, and I know damned well that no one is going to buy it for me. So I’m playing Santa today and ordering this for myself. You can nab either the PS3 or Xbox 360 version of this bundle, which contains the game,Tekken 6, a fancypants art book, and the limited edition wireless fight stick, crafted by Hori. This bundle is normally about $150, but Amazon has it on sale for $77....
[Editor’s note: Paul Soth rocks! — CTZ] I spent the past weekend atAnime Punchhere in Columbus. A small to mid-size con that I’ve watched grow over the past few years, Punch always manages to put on a good time. It was on Saturday afternoon that I had an idea. An incredible idea. One that I knew I had to act upon. Heading to the hotel’s business center, I opened up Destructoid to theepic Silent Hill post, printed out the unfortunate image of Harry Mason, and then use the printout as a guide to all the various cosplayers present....
I haven’t played it, but I hear tell thatMineCraftis basically the equivalent of crack on a stick. It’s an awesome game that doesn’t cost much, but hooks you deep in your core so you can never give it up. But maybe you’re cheap, or, like me, you just haven’t had time to check it out. Well, do it now because it’s going to be free for the next few daysit sounds like....
Bethesda has been ramping up theBrinkpromotion ahead of next week’s release, helped along with some insane statistics that the publisher has yanked out of its arse. The numbers are being used to show off how much variety is found in the game. Did you know that there are 4963 weapon attachment variations? Or 26,000 lines of dialog? Or how about 47,325,358,080,000,000 costume combinations for one of the game’s two factions? Yeah, these numbers are just silly....
Bethesda has come under fire from many an obsessedFalloutlunatic, accused of ruining the game by daring to take it in a new and interesting direction. Anything that isn’t exactly like theFalloutof yesteryear is treachery and should be destroyed. Well, Bethesda haswisely chosen to ignorethe lunatic fringe, instead concentrating on its own vision for theFalloutIP and waiting for opinions from those playing the game, not those who refuse to play it because they’re too busy pretending to be fans of the series....

The company is currently working onStarCraft II,Diablo III, the next expansion forWorld of Warcraft, and a mysterious next-generation MMO. But, according to the description for arecent job openingat Blizzard, a fifth project is in development on top of the aforementioned games....
We attended Capcom’sLost Planetparty last week in San Francisco, and supposedly, the public has ever seen this particular scene before. Hooray! What you’re watching is the intro level to the single player game.When starting out in the campaign mode, you get dropped into a battle with a gigantic alien, and then you start running for your life. It hits the major aspects of the game: mechs, big alien bugs, Anchor Shot....
After numerous technical difficulties and a little trip to E3, I can finally announce that the very long awaited and overdue BritToid episode 10 has finally arrived — on the eve of the recording of BritToid episode 11 none the less. Now I don’t know if it was ‘that time of the month’ or if I was just a little bit sleepy but BritToid Episode 10 is definitely the argument edition as myself, Germany, Seto and Jake argue over pretty much everything on this episode — with delightful results....
[Editor’s note: TheBigFeel recapped his entireBrutal Legendsoap box car that got him first prize at the Red Bull derby — CTZ] So we built the Tour of Destruction fromBrutal Legend, won a race, set a speed record, and then this happened. I have to tell you, it’s been a pretty amazing experience. If you’ve been following along, you’ve seen usbuild the frameandshape the body. Now I’d like to show you how everything came together, how the race went, and what the reaction has been....
Bullet Witch. My strange obsession with the game defies all logic. I have never played the game. The onlypreviewI’ve read didn’t specify what expectations we should have of the title, and there are only handful of gameplay videos out there, all involving you blowing up gas stations and restaurants, and calling forth bolts of lightning to zap evil men in their nuts. Strangely, I’ve never been aHalofan. I lovedPerfect Dark Zero, but I doubt I’ll ever playGears of War....

In order to promote the upcoming Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network release ofFinal Fight: Double Impact, Capcom sent along a literal barrel full of 80s-styleFinal Fightgoodness. Once I opened it up, I found: All in all, pretty neat. Capcom rocks it again with some sweet marketing goodies. Check out the video for more details, and if you’re really nice, we’ll hold a contest to give some of this stuff away soon....
As you may well be aware,Dungeons & Dragonscreator Gary Gygax passed away this year. His memory was classily honored by geekfest GenCon, who raised over $17,000 in an auction for Gygax’s favorite charity, the Christian Children’s Foundation. The CCF, however, has decided torefuse the money. Why? Because the money was raised with the sale ofD&Dmerchandise. I really cannot get over how myopic and frankly despicable that is. Because the money came from a gaming convention, apparently it’s not clean enough for the good little Christian boys and girls that the CCF looks after....
