Gizmodoposted this tidbit aboutProject Natalwhich is so vague that it could mean anything from what we think it means to a prediction that the birds outside my window could at any time transform into Gremlins, but hey, we run with rumors so you can speculate on them. So, speculate on this: Microsoft’s Entertainment & Devices division president Robbie Bach said that Natal will be priced “like anything else”. Like, a console?...
You know that Mike Haggar is the right choice for Mayor of Metro City. Do you know where he stands on crime? Right on its skull. He took his war on crime to the streets, administering justice to the city’s gangs. This is not the sort of man you want to say, “No” to. But you might as well find out his position on other important issues. Like, for example, the inordinate amount of trash littering Metro City’s streets....
The second generation ofPokémon, encompassing theGoldandSilvergames, is considered by most fans to be the pinnacle of the franchise. This generation brought more monsters before the designs started to jump the shark, and new ways of deepening the experience before later games became too convoluted and desperately complex. There’s no way Nintendo wouldn’t want to cash in on that. So behold,PokémonHeartGoldandPokémonSoulSilver, the final evolutionary stage of these classic games. New graphics, Wi-Fi connectivity, and the all-new Pokewalker converge to make this the ultimatePokémonexperience....
Shut up, it can be done! I was kindly invited to Birmingham’s Omega Sector this past Friday to indulge in an afternoon ofGRiD, the latest racing game from Codemasters. The only catch is, it was review code and we were under embargo until Monday morning. These were the problems I was faced with — Determined not to waste your or Codemasters’ time, I chose to soldier on with a review based upon the brief amount of play I was able to have with it....
E3 has just ended, but we’re already running at top speed at the next big gaming conference, the Tokyo Game Show. Destructoid will be there covering it, and it sounds like we’re going to be bringing you some epic news about a Hideo Kojima PS3 exclusive that “will own the show.” This comes viaCVGthrough an unnamed source they talked to during E3. They say the source is a senior U.S. publisher who would know about these kinds of things....
As videogame quasi-journalists (or whatever category it is you’d like to put us in), we often get quite a bit of a random videogame schwag. 90% of this garba– uh, awesome pieces of schwag, are articles of clothing. I recently donated 80 pounds of extra large t-shirts that don’t fit me to the Salvation Army. Most featured logos and art from videogames likeDonkey Kong,Devil May Cry,Grand Theft Auto,Prince of Persia,Ninja Gaiden,Killzone, God of War, Gears of War … you get the idea....

Did you know there was a booth forSkate 3at PAX East? I didn’t, but with its looming May 11th release date, it was a pretty safe assumption that there would be. At this very specialSkate 3booth, much like many of the booths, they gave away swag. Shocking, I realize, but it gets wilder. See, the swag that was being given away wereSkate 3stickers. “Oh, stickers,” you say. “Big f’ng deal.” Yeah, but you’ll change your tune in a second when I tell you that very valuable and totally exclusive information about the upcomingSkate 3demo was found on these stickers....
I don’t have as much to say about Power A’s Mini Pro line as I did about their hand cooling Air Flo line, but I did want to let you know that they’re ideal for small-handed people. The stand PS3 controller is fine for me, but I find that the Xbox 360 controller is too large for me to be fully comfortable with. This little Mini Pro one? Just right. I played several games:Catherine, Forza 4, Batman: Arkham Cityand more, and all were free of issue....
Kirby Kirby Kirby Kirby Kirby Kirby Kirby Kirby Kirby Kirby! Yes, I’m excited for a newKirbygame, but the reason I just repeated the pink little suckball’s name is because that’s exactly how many Kirbys you’ll be controlling inKirby Mass Attack. An evil villain has split Kirby up into ten pieces, and you need to find a way to put Kirby back together as one. Kirby Mass Attack(DS)Developer: HAL LaboratoryPublisher: NintendoTo be released: September 19 This time around you need to use your little Kirby army to get through the game, as opposed to the traditional consuming of your enemy’s abilities....
It’s a motley crew, to be certain. But if anybody can save the world from chicken-oriented doom, I don’t see any reason why it can’t be four energy drink guzzling luchadores. Here you’ll meet the heroes of the Xbox Live Arcade brawler,Lucha Fury, and see some of their moves. Somebody gets urinated on in this video. Honest. I’m seeing some combo stuff at work in these snippets of gameplay and that interests me....
Do you thinkSonic the Hedgehogsucks these days? If you’re over the age of twelve or notretarded, you probably think so. Sega is aware of our disappointment,and has promisedthat the blue shambles will get better with time, rather than simply admit that his credibility is finished in this industry. “The quality is something that will be fixed over time,” claims marketing VP Sean Ratcliffe. “It’s not something where you wake up one morning and say, ‘You know what, we’re going to improve our quality on this franchise,’ and it magically happens....
