Of all the trailers that were shownduring the VGA,Prototypewas the best one to me. You have these crazy awesome super powers and go on a murderous rampage. Exactly the type of games I love! Also, I can’t be the only one who thought ofAssassin’s Creedwhen the main guy jumps off of that building. Hit the jump to check out trailes forIron Man, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, LittleBigPlanet, Afro Samurai, TNA: ImpactandBorderlands....

You know how sometimes you think a thing is coming, and you ask the game company, but the answer is no, absolutely not, we aren’t making that game, and then a few months later, the game is announced? That thing that happens kind of often? Well, it happened again. Atari said noGhostbustersfor the PSP, but hey, look at that:GameStop has it listed for preorder for North America. Well, what do you know…...

WhenNicklet the cat out the bag that Capcom’sBen Juddhad commented that they were still teetering on the idea of portingBionic Commandoto the Wii if consumer interest deemed it necessary, it seemed all but inevitable that the Internet would notice — and take notice it has. We were wondering how long it would take for the online petitions to show up, and lo and behold, GoNintendo sendsthislink to our tip line. Now I’m not going to say that this petition is going to make it happen, but I can tell you for certain that Capcom is very much aware of our blogs here at Destructoid....
A NeoGAF user has painstakingly pieced together details of the canceledLegacy of Kaingame,The Dark Prophecy. The game was being developed in 2004 by Eidos and Ritual Entertainment, but fell victim to the axe before it could be completed. Now a huge amount of information has been recovered. It would seem thatThe Dark Prophecy‘s story was due to center around two different time periods, one featuring a tyrannical Kain from the past, one featuring the modern day Kain....

At the tender age of 13, I picked up a guitar for the first time. A cheap acoustic number with strings whose gauge are illegal in most parts of Eastern Europe, the tips of my fingers nearly bled as I forced my digits into unnatural positions. Hours, days, and weeks of practice later, I could play just about any song in Nirvana’s catalog. While my dreams of being a rock star never truly paid off as a result of endless practicing, it did help me out with the ladies as I got older....
While your mom and your little brother digWii Sports‘ Baseball, I would like to have a little more baseball in my baseball videogame titles. You know, like players with legs and arms. And fielding.

It isn’t anything really significant, though. The footage which you’ll see here that you haven’t seen before is all of the ostensibly “good guy” getting the crap kicked out of him before you’re given the distinct impression that he might not be such a good guy after all....
