Wait, what? Yes, you read that headline right. Check outside and see if the Four Horsemen are riding upon the bones of the damned, because a game’s release datehas changed, and for once, it’snotbecause of a delay. Electronic Arts moved the release date of its highly anticipated sci-fi horrorDeadSpaceforward by a week. The game is now scheduled to ship on October 24 for PS3 and Xbox 360 instead of October 31....
Gamecock’sexistence gives me a theoretical hard-on, especially by putting a DS horror game out into the current market. Eating pickleswhile marching down Malibu Beachwith them also won them points, but that’s another story altogether.Dementium: The Wardhas garnered lots of attention, and this ad is sure to gain them even more by taking a clever approach. October 31st can’t come soon enough for thishorror obsessed gamer.
We might not beCEREAL GAMZ JARNALISTSbut it appears that real, grown-up journalists quite like us. Or at least an editor for the UK’sSunday Timesappears to be a fan. Yes, we’re tooting our own horn quite shamelessly, but it’s a slow news day andKotakualready beat us to the punch, so let’s do this thing! Destructoid was listed as one of the Sunday Times’ top five sites for gamers, where our ability to post fifty stories a day and run without the need for big corporate backing was highlighted....
In ourTotemreview, we discussed how prolific puzzle games are on the Xbox 360’s Community Games channel, but if there’s one thing even more popular among budding indie developers, it’s the shoot ’em up. It’s easy to throw an endless swarm of enemies at a path of bullets, but just like with puzzlers, only the outstanding will have a chance. Ladybird Galaxyshares many things in common with a shoot ’em up, except for one issue — there isn’t really much shooting at all....
One of my favorite segments ofRetroforceGO!are Colette’s WiiWare reviews, simply because of the ridiculously titled games and the ensuing five-minute long Chad laugh. Unfortunately, developer Bplus seems set to ruin this weekly ritual by announcing a WiiWare game that not only has a decent title, but actually looks quite promising. The game in question,Bit Boy!!, features the single-pixilated protagonist Kubi, as he travels across increasingly higher bit worlds — starting from 4-bit and going all the way up to 128-bit — in search of his kidnapped friends....
We managed to gloss over these newGears of War 3screenshots last night, which is insane, given just how many articles we’ve tossed up since then. All will be forgotten once you give witness to the “I can’t believe it’s not black magic” nature of these graphics. Seriously, my already blown mind is being blown once more by these images. How do you do it, Epic? The soft, bright color palette really compliments the freaky looking people, and the even freakier looking Locust soldiers....
Me andContraare pissed. For some reason, Konami and Arc Systems have totally forsaken us. Their upcoming XBLA/PSN release,Hard Corps Uprising, is aContragame. It just is. To play it is to play a game from theContraseries. This is an undeniable fact. Just watch the video and see for yourself. For some reason, Konami doesn’t want us to think that though. They are intentionally keeping theContraname away from this game. I’m not sure why Konami is up to here....
[As originally posted onJapanator] Or even better, in some ways! I’ll admit I stopped followingNarutoa while ago, but watching the new trailer forNaruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2makes me wish I had kept up with it. The firstUltimate Ninja Stormlooked fantastic to begin with, but the new one comes even closer to mastering the art of cel-shading, almost perfectly replicating the anime’s style and at times surpassing it. Even if you’re not a fan of the series, you have to appreciate how far cel-shading has come from early attempts at simulating 2D animation....
As you may have already seen on G4 tonight, here’s some footage ofAssassin’s Creedin action. The video shows off some of the ways you’ll be dealing with crowds, using the city’s architecture to your advantage, and some of the moves you’ll get to use in combat situations. Something to note is just how much freedom this game gives the player in terms of how missions are carried out and completed. The best part, however, is getting to listen to Jade Raymond’s voice for five and a half minutes....
EA Sports has announced the next installment in its annual golf franchise,Tiger Woods PGA Tour. The game still bears the name of the embattled golfer, but this year’s iteration doesn’t even feature him on the cover (check it out: he’s still there, but it’s a long shot from behind, so the average observer won’t be able to tell that it’s Tiger). Instead, EA has partnered with Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament to take the Masters digital for the first time inTiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters....
Mmmm, red 360. Red is not only one of my favorite colors but the shade of my Japanese PSP, and if I didn’t already own a 360 I’d be all overthe red one. More good news recently popped up for European gamers — the controller bundle in the matching red will soon be available for sale (Friday, March 13th to be exact). The limited edition bundle will come with matching play and charge kit and will retail for £39....
As you may know,Raskullsis a game we’ve been following pretty avidly at Destructoid, and we’re proud to be able to show you exactlywhywe’re so keen on it. This is part one of our spicy hotRaskullscoverage, as your humble Jim Sterling is joined by Phil Larsen of developer Halfbrick. During this video you’ll get to check out the premise of the XBLA title, as well as the core gameplay and, most importantly, the humor....
