I love the Wii. In fact other thanMr. Holmes, I think I might be the most ardent Wii supporter at Destructoid. My Wii is played just as often as my PS3 and 360 if not more, and not just when friends are over. I am a serious Wii gamer. I tell you all this not because I want to be ridiculed by haters, but because I want you to understand the full impact of me saying that I don’t own Wii MotionPlus....
Buzzdevs Relentless Software get back into the quiz game foray withQuiz Climber, their first iPhone game that feeds the inner quiz addict with persistent social network integration and the lust for bragging rights. Relentless Software Executive Directors David Amor and Andrew Eades are also working with Microsoft and their Kinect Fun Labs program to developMusic in Motion(tentative title), a Kinect project that makes air guitar look legitimately acceptable and fun....
Man I wish I had heard more about this game back at E3 – Insomniac (the dudes who brought you dozens of Racthet and Clank kinda games) are entering the FPS genre with a powerful game on the way for the PS3. “In Resistance: Fall of Man, US and British forces band together in a last-ditch effort to save England from a horrific scourge — the Chimera. This parasitic species infects other life forms with a virus that rapidly mutates victims into new Chimera....
Happy Monday everybody, and welcome to the final episode in our Zelda discussion. This week’s show happens to be one of the longest shows we’ve ever recorded and, honestly, it should have been broken up in into two more separate episodes for a grand total of three Zelda shows. Well, it wasn’t, so I graciously present you with this whoppingly large two hour podcast about the little guy in a green cap and tunic (not Tingle!...
Mythos, the free-to-play MMO that never made it past a beta release while in the hands of the now-defunct Flagship Studios, has been commanded by Zeus to rise from the grave. Gamers apparently shouldn’t be worried about the game being on hiatus any longer, according to Korean game company HanbitSoft. AMythosdesigner nicknamed “Alboos” says the team is “trying to keep the strengths thatMythosused to have, and strengthen them even more to make more suited as an online game....
It seems that Rockstar is hopping on the bandwagon when it comes to repackaged releases containing expansion content. Folks at NeoGAF spotted a listing on Amazon.com forGrand Theft Auto IV: Complete, a retail disc release containing the original game plusEpisodes from Liberty City. According to Amazon, the package will be available on October 26th for the reasonable price of $39.99. I say “reasonable” not because I think we should be paying forty smackers for a two-year old game, but becauseEpisodes from Liberty Cityisstill retailing for $29....
According to the omnipresentANONYMOUS SOURCE, Sony is set to officially unveil the PlayStation Portable successor console on January 27. The long-rumored, practically-confirmed, might-as-well-not-be-kept secret PSP2 has been a long time coming, and it would seem we’re finally getting to see it soon. According to various sources, a press event in Tokyo will see the PSP2. The timing seems to deliberately coincide with aNintendo press event on January 19, which indicates Sony is planning to take the wind out of the 3DS’ sails....
I’ve always loved Square Enix gamesbecausemusic never seemed to be an afterthought. I believe the soundtrack is such an important part of the experience, and the company’s releases always seemed to show that they were on the same page. Now, in a new string of layoffs, some of their best are being sent home. Earlier we heardaboutFinal Fantasy XIIIcomposer Masashi Hamauzu jumping ship. That was one of their best. Now it seems that the company will make cuts for budgetary reasons and will send home the rest....
THQ doesn’t mince its words. The publisher will be rolling out promotion forSaints Row 3this year, and the hype has already started, with “mindblowing” being the watch-word for this upcoming sandbox sequel. Not that THQ wants to overstate its game or anything. “PR and the marketing for that is going to start rolling out this year.” says core games VP Danny Bilson. “The nextSaints Rowis mind-blowing. New tech; mind-blowing. I can’t talk about that too much but it’s mind-blowing....
I love science. The advances in my lifetime alone that have improved nearly every aspect of how I live are downright staggering. Sometimes science starts to travel down a path towards ruin, meddles with things that man was not meant to understand. An example? Opposable thumbs. There’sa new studythat suggests researchers have discovered part of the genetic code that gave humans thumbs. Oh, sure, they might figure out some way to use this to help humanity....
I loveHouse of the Dead: Overkill. One has to respect a really shameless bit of entertainment that doesn’t care how trashy it is so long as people are having a laugh. Looks like that shamelessness is perfectly preserved in itsHD re-release,Extended Cut. Here’s a trailer showing off the game in all its gory, sweary glory. Have fun!
Screw ya’ll, I’m interested inSengoku Basara: Samurai Heroeswhether you lot are not, so this is news! Capcom has today announced the North American release date for its feudal Japanese hack n’ slash title. Wii and PS3 owners will be able to control a variety of drag queens and clowns on October 12. Regular readers will know that this game is exactly my jam, given that it puts you in the bright purple boots of a flamboyant quasi-historical figure and gives you hundreds of enemies to button mash into oblivion....
Check out these translated images from the official guidebook forShadow of the Colossus. There’s a bunch of concept art and character pages atGlitterBerrito enjoy. I really dug checking out thesketches for the unused Colossi. There’s some that look like they’d be quite a challenge in the mix. The fish you’d have to jab in the water in a certain spot would have had me screaming at my television if they would have used it....
