Destructoid review: Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty

The latest title on the high seas of the PlayStation Network isRatchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty. Taking place right afterRatchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, this title is a mini-adventure as part of a larger search for Clank. Washed ashore on Hoolefar Island, with most of your items gone, you’ve got to find some way to find Clank. Thus beginsQuest for Booty.

Dirty Dancing: The Video Game: Press X to put Baby in a corner

The above clip is utterly mind boggling. Upon viewing, a barrage of questions leapt out at me like Jennifer Grey’s gigantic beak; questions like “Why now?”, “Why ever?” and “What would Jerry Orbach think?”Those first two questions I still can’t answer, but as for the last one, we can only pray they don’t get Destructoid in Heaven or Mr. Orbach might just fulfill all of my zombie apocalypse fantasies. Assuming there is a good and just God above, the last thing going through the minds of the devs at Codemasters who created this abomination will most certainly be the teeth of the undead Lennie Briscoe....

Don’t think any Crackdown 2 news is coming, folks

Hopeful readers may have convinced themselves that the launch of a brand newCrackdownNXE themecould herald the arrival of a sequel to one of the Xbox 360’s most empowering and amusing games.

Double your Cammy, double your fun

One would think that the only thing better than one really hot woman with a thong pulled so far up her ass it’s practically cutting her in half would be two really hot women with thongs pulled so far up their asses they’re practically cutting them in half, but a new Cammy statue from SOTA featuring two Cammys in different outfits proves the opposite. See the problem? Each Cammy is blocking the other Cammy’s best feature....

E3 08: Liveblogging the Konami press conference

Here we go – one more press conference and then I get to actually go to the show floor and play games, a moment I’ve been waiting for. For now, however, Konami has my full attention. Hit the jump to check out our live coverage of the press conference, which already looks like it may be better than yesterday’s Capcom conference (but then again, how could it not be).

Here are my Jimpressions of all three conferences, complete with performance grades....

Fake game Friday: Capcom Hearts

Today’s fake game comes to you courtesy ofPwn Daddy(with a Photoshop by our own Topher Cantler, of course), and I’d play it in a heartbeat if only to see Mega Man and Mike Haggar on the same screen together. Says the Daddy: Basically, Kingdom Hearts without the Disney. Hell, the Super Friends had the band of villans they all fought, why not add in Link, Cecil, Mega Man, and Haggar all in one party and have them romp through and kick the shit out of everything in front of them as a team?...
