Next up on the Destructainment of Weekends is the voice of Halo. Then it’s DanceDance Ultimate. Next up is a funny prank on a news anchor involving the iPad. Then it’s a radLeft 4 Deadfan movie. Followed by Robotnik having some vehicle troubles. Next is a video made with the Kinect....

Good Old Games have their usual 50% discount this weekend, this time it’s the games of Rebellion that are on offer....
Destructoid has checked out Spark Unlimited and Gamecock’sLegendarya fewtimes now. In fact, I got to check out the game just last week. A small hands-on of that will be going up some time later in the evening. In the mean time, here’s the first released screens ofLegendary’smultiplayer. It’s not much, but it’s the first time that we’re seeing anything of it and I’m already salivating at the thought of fighting other people and werewolves at the same time....
You know how when you first get up in the morning, when you sit down by your computer with coffee or soda in hand, and you attempt to check your email or read a Web site? Your brain is still half asleep, and even though you’ve got caffeine within reach, you are too damned interested in the glowing digital words to care. Then, it happens. You read a phrase that makes no sense because it doesn’t actually exist....
Finally, an alternative to actually getting off of the couch and picking up a newspaper. Starting today, theWiiNews Channel should be available in all regions. So, if you have aWii, get to updating. The news is broken up in a predictable fashion (national news, sports, arts & entertainment, etc.) so anyone who owns a computer and has surfed countless news sites should feel right at home. The addition of the interactive globe is a cool feature, as it will display the origin of the news, as well as give you the opportunity to scroll around and pinpoint areas for local news....
Ubisoft and Intel have put together quite the giveaway. Every day through December 30th, the two companies will be handing out one Intel Core I7-965 Extreme Edition processor and 50 copies ofFar Cry 2. The point of the contest isn’t to give prizes or to spread the word on malaria awareness. It is to answer four mysterious questions. We haven’t the slightest what these questions are. The e-mail we received from Ubisoft didn’t spell it out for us, and I’m currently having a problem registering on the site....
Fact: before people sat in front of televisions and manipulated things on the screen with joysticks, people sometimes sat around a table and played something called “board games.” I know, it’s difficult to believe, but it’s true.Today’s Xbox LIVE Arcade title,Wits & Wagersstarted life as one of these fabled “board games,” and the game’s publisher North Star Games sent me a copy to check it out. Not surprisingly, the core of the game has remained the same — players place handwritten guesses to questions on a mat, and then everyone bets on whose answer is the closest (without going over) to the actual answer....
[As originally posted onJapanator] Many of my days doing what I do end up not making much sense. Today is one of those days. When videos like this come along, they actually feel normal and right as a part of my day. How messed up is that? Take this Sega Japan produced video for their Puyo Day campaign. It stars thePuyo Puyoseries character Suketoudara, a crazed fish that likes to dance....
We spotted atweetfrom Mister Jared Rea just a while ago, saying thatStreet Fighter IVhad started showing up on Xbox Live as a Platinum Hits title. A quick trip over to the game’s page on Xbox.com, and sure enough,there it is. What’s this mean? Well, it probably means just what I said. Do try to pay attention. Looks likeStreet Fighter IVis, or is about to be, added to the Xbox 360’s list of Platinum Hits titles....
I’m sure everyone has that one game they sold and will always regret selling.Radiant Silvergunfor the Sega Saturn is that game for me. What an incredible game. What an expensive game! I’d buy it again, but I suck so much at it that I can’t bring myself to spend what it costs to get a good copy of this rare title. I can easily shell out the 1,200 Microsoft Points ($15) this remake is going to cost, though....
We finally received word from Ziff Davis that they have NOT sold 1UP to Dell. It looks like all is well in the world of game journalism once more. Everyone who said it wasn’t true, give yourself a pat on the back. Too bad. Working for 1UP tech support might have been fun… I kid, I kid. Thanks to Jason from Ziff Davis for responding to our e-mail. I’d also like to apologize to Aaron Linde for using a Kevin Spacey reference....

GameTrailers TV’s Extended Cuts is appealing to our extremely nerdy side in the latest episode with their look at the science behindMass Effect 2. Bioware’s space epic is loaded with all sorts of science fiction and GT’s Daniel Kayser gets the lowdown on how far we are from the fiction becoming reality. Physicist Dr. Michio Kaku helps break down just what it will take to get some dream technology into our everyday lives and the whole segment is a real eye opener....
