Dump all your games to a harddrive (internal or USB external) with this new mod chip for the PS3. A video from OzModChips.com shows this first PS3 mod working. You’ll see that a copy ofUnchartedis inserted into the PS3 with the mod stick in. By launching the “Backup Manager” from the Xross Media Bar, you’re able to back up the inserted game or launch another that you’ve already ripped. He launches a copy ofRatchet and Clankin the video from this manager and it appears to work beautifully, ‘replacing’ the disc inserted with the one chosen....

If you have more money than sense and wanted some night vision goggles to go with your PS3, then you’re out of luck.Amazon.comhas sold out of the PS3 version ofModern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition. I guess your $149.99 will have to go on something useless and space-consuming now. Interestingly, the Xbox 360 version still appears available, although for how long is anybody’s guess. You can feel free to claim that this is a victory for Sony, undeniable proof that the PS3 version ofModern Warfare 2is the superior alternative and far more popular....

We wouldn’t be surprised to hear that most gamers missed the new music visualization included in the PS3’s recent 2.10 update. Its new visualization of a beautiful space view of Earth seemed to appear out of nowhere, butGamasutramanaged to speak with creator Q-Games to get the story behind it. The Kyoto-based developer was commissioned by Sony to make this visualization, which was originally a candidate for the PS3’s boot sequence....

According to ze German USK rating board, which is famous for spilling the beans on many an unannounced Taito remake headed for the land of downloadable games, the classic arcade titleQixis on its way to XBLA, (and if history is any indicator, quite possibly Wii Ware), under the nameQix++. If you remember this bastard offspring of a Tesla coil and an Etch-A-Sketch, you know how addictive it could be. Having killed many hours of my adolescent life with the Game Boy version, I’m pretty excited to hear this news, as I think it’s among the more underrated games in Taito’s library....

Here’s something you probably didn’t notice until now, but now that you know it you’re going to slap your forehead in amazement: you never physically climb a ladder in any of theElder Scrollsgames orFallout 3. It’s completely true, and really weird considering how much ladder climbing actually occurs in gaming. Think about it. People climb ladders all the time in games. Why isn’t it in these two Bethesda series?According toBethesda’s Game Director, Todd Howard, at QuakeCON it’s because the engine used for both of them just can’t handle ladder climbing....

I have to admit I haven’t been too excited aboutFinal Fantasy Versus XIIIup to now, partially because I’m sick of seeing that same picture of that girl’s face all over the internet for months and partially because I’m afraid Square is turning into no more than anautomated sequel cow. After these scans from Famitsu popped up, I have to admit to feeling some of the old excitement I used to feel waiting for a new title in this series....

When Capcom announced theirComic-Con exclusiveResident Evil: The Darkside Chroniclesshirt, fans of the series were frothing at the mouth in hopes of getting one, and who could blame them? A secret as awesome as an instant zombie costume laying just beneath the cotton surely ranks this among the best gamer shirts of all time, and soon enough they popped up onthe Capcom storefor sale (or you’re able to also score one by pre-ordering the game throughGameStop)....

Ranty game developer and former id prodigy John Romero has apologized for yesterday’sTwitter-based outburstupon hearing that Zenimax had bought theDoomdeveloper. Fresh off a podcast interview that’s due out on Friday, Romero admitted he was harsh and has apologized for stating that the Zenimax deal was “disgusting.” “I just did an interview for Avault Podcast coming out friday,”Tweets Romero. “I am positive about the Zenimax deal. My initial reaction was harsh. Sorry....

I keep hearing aboutAssassin’s Creed 2. You know it’s coming — there’s no way that Ubisoft wouldn’t be working on it. But there’s still a lot of questions we have. And some answers have slowly been coming our way these past couple of weeks. Well, we’ll call them rumors for now. Last week, I met a fellow journo who…well, let’s just say that he doesn’t work in the US. His outlet is foreign....

Jesus. how far is this going to go? First we have waggle sensing. Later, more accurate, “one-to-one” waggle sensing. And then, earlier today, we heard rumors thatSony is working on some similar bullsh*t. Now, as if to top them all, another rumor says that Microsoft is going full-body with this bitch. The folks atengadgetjust got a tip on this “sensor bar” tech. It is supposed to sense full body movement without controllers....

Section 8will be at the UK-based Multiplay M Festival and itssort ofa big deal. For the first time in the history of mankind, non-media affiliated Europeans will be allowed to play the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the sci-fi FPS on their own turf. According to the official release, this won’t be the last time Europeans will be able to get their hands on the title, either. The European beta for the PC version ofSection 8will be available three days before the game enters into open beta....

I don’t like goodbye posts, generally. I can’t count how many obviously insincere farewell posts I’ve read on innumerable blogs, where people whine and cry about missing the community and the people and the fun while silently thanking their lucky stars that they never have to talk to any of those people again. I won’t blame you for fearing that this post will be no different. To me, however, Destructoid has beeneverything....

Fruit Ninja Kinectis a game where you murder innocent fruit in the name of fun. And now there is more fruit slaughter (fruiticide?) with the newStorm SeasonDLC. Along with a few new achievements and backgrounds, players will also get the Lightning Bolt Blade. The entire DLC pack is only 180 MS Points (or $2). I don’t have Kinect, I may never own one, but for those of you that do, and are looking to get some varied gameplay with your ninja fruit killing, two dollars is not a bad deal....
