Many of you lovedCrackdown. I lovedCrackdown, too. Maybe we should form a club. If we do form a club, Gamestopisn’t allowed to join. Yep, once again a developer did not sell as many games as expected, and thoseevil, evil secondhand copiesare to blame. “WithCrackdownwe sold about 1.5 million copies, but even at that we pretty much only managed to break even,” says Realtime Worlds boss Dave Jones. “It was due to the amount of factors that were out of our control as the developer, influences such as GameStop’s amazing used-game sales; we know 1....

Frank West is back in the mall. No, he’s not holiday shopping. He’s fighting off undead again inDead Rising Mobile, Capcom’s latest release on the iTunes App Store. Just like in the original game, Frank uses crap he finds around the mall to hold off zombies. He also scrounges for food to stay alive. This sounds just like what I’m expecting my weekend to be like! When you die inDead Rising Mobile, you can send out a distress call via Facebook or Twitter to be revived....

Happy Father’s Day, everybody. I come bearing bargains. Not that there’s a lot to speak of. Amazon has some decent prices, withF.E.A.R. 2on the verge of being a buy for me. Best Buy hasHAWXon sale which is probably exciting for somebody. Gamestop seems to be going through aMetal Gear Solidphase with the third installment of the main series and a PSP title on the cheap. Oh, and there are some 12-month Xbox Live subscription cards at 20% off....

PC games don’t often get special editions like their console counterparts, so it’s interesting to not only seeDuke Nukem Foreverget one, but get one that is uniquely designed to the platform.Duke Nukem Forever: Fully Loadedcomes with a limited edition GTX 560 graphics card, you see. Here’s the full package: It’s unique, I’ll give ’em that. Especially when you consider the fact that you really, really won’t need a new graphics card to play this game....

My brain is leaking while trying to find the logic in all of this, but Koeiis planningto releaseDynasty Warriors 6on the PlayStation 2, and it’s actually going to bebetterthan the PS3/Xbox 360 versions. Yes, the first current-genDynasty Warriorsis going to be superior on last-gen technology. Not evenIcan defend this one. Billed asDynasty Warriors 6: Special, the main draw here is that some of the shockingly rampant cloning fromDW6is being taken out....

After plowing through two press conferences this morning, I finally got a chance to meet with Capcom to plow through hordes of racially diverse zombies inResident Evil 5. If you haven’t already figured this out,Resident Evil 5is beautiful. Of course,Resident Evil 4was no slouch in the graphics department, but I was pleased to finally get to lay eyes on this stellar looking game in person. The new enemies and locales are a sight to behold in high-definition, and the direction seems even more cinematic than in previous games....

This just in:Rock Band: Beatleswill support three singers at one time … and allow them to harmonize together to boot! During the Microsoft press conference —currently being liveblogged as I type this— three singers came out on stage to introduce footage of the next, highly anticipatedRock Bandgame. In addition,Rock Band: Beatleswill feature in-studio chat from the Fab Four themselves that has never been heard before. The first DLC will beAbbey Roadin its entirety and all of the proceeds from it will go to Doctors Without Borders....

Mario is one heck of an athlete already, but there are plenty of sports that he hasn’t yet tried out…until now. At Nintendo’s E3 press conference this morning, Nintendo of America president/CEO Reggie Fils-Aime announced what could be the successor toWii SportsandWii Sports Resort:Mario Sports Mix. It’s a collection of a variety of sports, including dodgeball, basketball, volleyball, and hockey, and it’s due out sometime in 2011. All the sports games involving Mario are great fun, so I’m excited — are you?...

Husky and I stopped by the Disney booth to check outTron: Evolution. As a huge fan of the original film, I remain cautiously optimistic about all this newTronstuff; both the movie and the games. After playing the game, I’m a little more optimistic, but still cautious. I actually got to play the 360/PS3 version of the game first, but for whatever reason, we can’t seem to that video uploaded, so for now, you’re stuck with the Wii version....

Gearbox and SEGA have come out to announce officially thatAliens: Colonial Marinesis “being prototyped and considered for the Nintendo Wii U” and that work for the Wii U version is currently “under construction by a dedicated research and development branch within the studio.” In case you didn’t know,Aliens: Colonial Marineswill see you perform Xenocide with movie-inspired weaponry on the surface of LV-426, theUSS Sulaco, and Hadley’s Hope. An obvious implementation would be a motion sensor of sorts, although that would probably mean you would have to look down on the screen, only to see that a Xenomorph is right around the corner....

How many of you play in fantasy football leagues every fall? Well, probably not that many, since this is Destructoid, after all. But think of the thousands — nay, millions — of people across the nation who participate in office pools and “roto” leagues every year. Now think of how many of those people own a PlayStation 3 or an Xbox 360. That’s a pretty sizable area of convergence there on your mental Venn diagram, isn’t it?...

Electronic Arts has landed itself in hot water with PC gamers after failing to disclose the digital rights management snuck ontoDragon Age II. The disc-based version of the game contains notoriousSecuROM DRM— a controversial bit of software that invites itself onto your PC and is regarded by gamers as glorified malware. Add in the general hatred PC gamers have had for the sequel, and the possibility of one gamerbeing bannedfrom BioWare’s forums and subsequently unable to boot up his copy of the game, and you’ve got a bad PR recipe....

It’s a well known fact that the Japanese are highly preoccupied with the preservation of nature, as evidenced in films such asPrincess MononokeandPlease Save My Earth. Majestico’sEco Creaturesdefinitely follows the same tune, placing you in the role of three Eco-species (Ecolis, Ecoby and Ecomon) who must plant trees and protect forest critters from an evil threat called the Scourge. The title is described as “an eco-friendly RTS”. I want to play this, but I can’t help but wonder if Nintendo’s next target demographic is middle aged enviromentalists....
