Lose your head over new Tekken 6 screens

Namco Bandai has a round-up of some of the characters of the upcomingTekken 6(PlayStation 3, Xbox 360), including reveals for Alisa, Eddy Gordo, Lars, Marshall Law, and my boy (“Namu namu namu namu namu!”) Yoshimitsu. All of these screens look fantastic. Remember the days where we’d watch the opening cinema to fighting games, thinking to ourselves that we hope that games would one day look as good as the movies? These days are here, and these wallpaper-worthy screens fromTekken 6prove that....

Major Minor’s Majestic March trailer: there’s audio, but not as good as Nick’s

As far asMajor Minor’s Majestic Marchgoes, we get a lot of screens, but not a lot of audio. Destructoid Editor-in-Chief Nick Chester had enough of that andresorted to creating his own audio for a trailier. Brilliance, I tell you. I listen to that audio and think“that dude is my boss.”Oh, and I’ve been singing that soulful, high-pitched“Majestic Maaaaarch!”all week now.This new trailer has totally official audio, and while it’s not near as cool as Nick’s version, it does give you an idea of how the game will sound and look....

Mega64: Bungie hurts Cabela … AGAIN!

Remember whenCabela’s Trophy Buckscame out in 2007? If you say yes, then you’re a f**king liar. It was the same week thatHalo 3came out, so of course you don’t remember. TheCabelaguys found this out too late, though, and needless to say, Bungieruined their party. Well, it looks like Bungiedid it again. Those jerks are releasingHalo 3: ODSTtomorrow, the SAME DAY thatCabela’s Big Game Hunter 2010is coming out. TheCabelaguys thought it was safe to release their new game, but it seems like Bungie wants to do nothing more than to destroy the poor developers behind the animal hunting series....

Meow: Catwoman playable in Batman: Arkham City

[Update:Added in the new trailer and new screens of Catwoman cleavage.] Watching Rocksteady Marketing Manager Dax Ginn demo the studio’s upcomingBatman: Arkham Cityis a sight to behold. He’s a bit like a hyperactive youngster, howling things like “Kablammy!” and “KA-POW!” as he works the Dark Knight through a mob of thugs. During a recent pre-E3 event, he switches gears a bit, transforming into a blend of a carnival barker and a Las Vegas prize fight ring announcer....

Metal Slug 7 trailer looks like more of the same

Yup. That’s definitelyMetal Slug. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s one of those games where, so long as they don’t muck about too much with the core gameplay, I’m perfectly happy to go along for the ride. By the same token, it doesn’t exactly get me pumped either. I know I’ll play it because I play all of them but can you really proclaim it as “The Ultimate Game” when it looks exactly like the last one?...

Microsoft finally supports DivX in new Media Center Extenders, Xbox 360 next?

Microsoft’sMedia Center Extenderidea wasn’t the most well-received. The extender devices (mostly from third parties like D-Link and Cisco) were supposed to connect to Windows PCs to pipe the Windows Media experience to your home entertainment system, but they never got past the clunky stage, and they really didn’t sell that well. Well, there was one Media Center Extender that sold rather well. You know it as the Xbox 360, and much like these other devices, Microsoft’s console could be used to stream videos and music....

MLB 2K10: win big money for throwing a perfect game

Either 2K Sports (a) likes losing money or (b) is confident that the pitchers inMLB 2K10can’t toss a perfect game. The studio is offering 1,000,000 bucks to the first personwho records himselfpitching a perfect as part of a contest with a point: apparently this year’s game is all about “pitchers vs. hitters,” likeMadden NFL 10was all about realism or whatever.
