Called “Brute Force,” the 100 MS Point level features new puzzles,characters, cinematics, and more.While many of you were up and arms over new content coming so soon after the game’s release, in a recentDestructoid Community interview, Twisted Pixel defended their position.“We never made these levels and then held them back intentially to make “more money” or something like that,” said Twisted Pixel’s Josh Baer....

I leftThe SaboteurE3 2009 demonstrationimpressed by Pandemic Studios’ commitment to making its open-world action title different. There aren’t any mutants or a twisted protagonist. The city isn’t a wasteland or a knockoff of a metropolitan city. And there isn’t a lot of brown — the game’s monochrome visual flair eliminates it. But how long will I be playingThe Saboteur? Speaking with me via e-mail, Pandemic’s Thomas French told me that main story will take anywhere between twelve to eighteen hours to complete — and that’s if I’m hoofing it the whole time....

Oh, this is rich. Even if you have never seen a single episode, surely you’ve heard ofThe Tudors, the historical Showtime series about Henry VIII? The one with all the lush, sexually suggestive ads like the one above? Casual game companyMerscomhas announced they will be teaming up with Showtime to make a casual game out of The Tudors, which they describe as a “family friendly casual adventure game”. I guess all those illicit sex scenes are going to be cut out, right?...

Taking a look atMAG‘s maps from a bird’s-eye view shouldn’t be this interesting. But here we are! Much like sticking your face against a long-uncleaned airplane window to gaze down upon the world, there’s something about these pictures that appeals to my inner child. “Oh my God that building is the size of an ant!” Of course, for youMAGplayers — admittedly, I’m not one myself — there’s a completely separate aspect to this mess....

Comingsoon.net is reportingthat the once expected 4thResident Evilmovie is not going to be happening. According to the synopsis for the 3rd movie,Resident Evil: Extinction, it is to be “the third and final installment” in the series. While the first movie was bad, the second was deplorable. So, after a truly horrific third film, the fourth one could have been really good. Ah well, so goes the way of Hollywood. At least I won’t have to be disappointed one more time, even though I’ll be subjecting myself to the third one for the sake of Destructoid readers everywhere....

I’ve gotten quite a lot of crap for choosing Electronic ArtsBoom Bloxas the best Wii game of 2008 for the Spike Video Game Awards. But I’m not going to apologize — I truly thought it was the most fun use of the motion control mechanics release last year. For me, it may have been the most fun of the year … period. (Also, it won the award; blame me!) So I’m excited about the sequel,Boom Blox Bash Party, despite the fact that it looks like more of the same....

Companies sure have been pushing betas hard lately, haven’t they? There’sSocom: Confrontation,LittleBigPlanet,Resistance 2… the list goes on. I’m not complaining, but with so much going on at once, it’s just overwhelming is all. Earlier this month,we told youthat pre-orderingWorld at Warwould net you a beta code, but that’s not the only way to obtain one. Treyarchrecently posted an FAQrelating to the Xbox 360 beta (PC FAQ coming later), and it explains how everything will go down....

One might think that Twisted Pixel would dive right into creating downloadable content forComic Jumper, but it sounds as if that isn’t the case — at least not right now, anyway. CCO Josh Bear gave a status update on the studio during a recent Evil Avatar interview. They’re currently working on two separate games, with an official announcement expected to hit by the end of this year. Fans of Twisted Pixel and rhythm games will be pleased to know thatRock Banddesigner Dan Teasdale was brought on board not too long ago, which means now Ireallyhave no clue what genre they’re going to hit up next....
