It’s not justElectronic Artsgetting in on the Wikipedia editing shenanigans, it seems. One of our top tipsters, Action Bastard, has informed us of a certain edit onHalo 3′s Wikipedia page informing us, in biased glory, that the game will not look any better than its prequelHalo 2. While such childish trolling is hardly news on the Internet, the fact that Sony itself seems to be the purveyor of the immature mudslinging should be cause for a raised eyebrow and condescending snicker....

Jordan has already spokenfor the majority of us on staff when he says we are hyped forSpyborgs, a Wii exclusive title coming our way from Capcom this September.Hamza’s already played the gameand says it has that old school beat-em-up feel, which spells delicious in my book. By the way, the game’s releases date has been pushed up a week, now coming out on September 22nd in North America. Capcom has also announces a webisode series for the game, and the first one (called “Island of Fate”) can be viewed after the break....

Meh. So, today I found out thatThe Conduithas a story. My reaction was initially restricted to that simple, italicized word. I don’t expect first-person shooters to blow my mind. In fact, I don’t want an FPS to be interpretative or carry deep meaning. But, hey, High Voltage — we’ve killed aliens before. How about a twist? Perhaps I’m being unfair considering that my information has come from a trailer Sega recently passed around....

Major Nelson has updated with the latest Games on Demand titles to appear on Xbox 360. This week, we’re gettingStuntman: Ignition,NFL TourandFaceBreaker. Of the three,Stuntmanis the only one I can even slightly recommend to you partly because I haven’t — and likely would never — playNFL Tour. That andFaceBreakerdidn’t sound like it was worth any price. Amusing that the game would show up now, months after EA shut down online servers for the title....

This episode is about a less popular, less well-paidStreet fighter 2boss trying out for a newer, hotter series. I guess he needs the work. Side note — this video is dedicated to the few people who took the time out to call Birdie a “N-word that’s not the word nagger” on YouTube over the past few weeks. I find it incredibly interesting that some people wouldnotfeel compelled to level that once-powerful racial slur against Sagat, but once you increase the brownness ever so slightly for Birdie, then the bigotry comes out....

[Editor’s Note: Let it be known that I had this done on time. Due to technical problems I couldn’t post it yesterday. Sorry.] Ah, Superbowl Sunday! For many, an awesome holiday in a sea of mediocre ones (Easter? Valentine’s Day? Pfft.), for gamers, not so much. But, I’m sure some of you out there appreciate the great sport of football, with your tackling each other and whatnot. Grabbin’ balls. This week, I have a Bears-themed game!...

Heads up PAL territories, you’re getting another game wicked late. Namco Bandai Games have announced that their RPG Tales of Vesperia is coming to Europe and PAL regions in June this year. Yep, that’s it: No new additions or European themed DLC have been announced with the game. You’re getting the same thrilling version that North American audiences have been enjoying for (roughly) the last forty years. Hit the break for the press release and check out our review of the game if you’re unfamiliar with the product....

Telltale just held a small little meeting here in San Francisco where they revealed just what the hell thisiPhone full of eraserswas all about. Telltale unveiled a new game, along with a new initiative called the Pilot Program. Telltale is all about releasing quirky little titles that others won’t touch, and the Pilot Program is their way of getting even weirder concepts out there. Puzzle Agentis the first new title to be featured in the Pilot Program....

Justlast week we recieved word at a Nintendo press eventthat the classic PlayStation platformerKlonoa: Door to Phantomilewas coming to the Wii after a fresh makeover. Lucky for us, Namco Bandai brought a build of the remake to TGS 2008 for us to play. Namco’s flying cat/rabbit…thing platformer has never looked better, and by looking at it today, you’d never know it was a game from 1997 on the PlayStation. I had a chance to play the game’s world 1-1 during my demo time....

Oh Eidos, your PR department is really,reallybad at keeping this crap under wraps, aren’t you? The company has become notorious for trying to fix and/or “encourage” high review scores for its games, first becoming infamous as a central figure in the Jeff Gerstman/Kane & LynchGamespot controversyand then making waves formeddling withTomb Raiderreviews. Now the company’s at it again, this time withBatman: Arkham Asylum. According toThe RAM Raider, Eidos has been “encouraging” review scores of 90% and above by offering an early embargo break to any magazine that givesArkham Asylumsuch a rating....

A slew of Nintendo announcements were made today, including Netflix andSuper Mariofor 3DS; the fan project responsible for spawning widespread talk ofModern Warfare 3last week was unveiled; and Double Fine hit us with a surprise reveal forTrenched. These posts and more are some of what you’ll find in the archives for 03/02/11 here on Destructoid. And hey, did I mention we have a Tumblr now?...
