Alright, so I haven’t playedDead Space 2yet. I know, I know. Don’t worry, I’m getting the game this Wednesday finally. So forgive me at the fact that I haven’t bothered watching this video for fear ofspoilers. There could be a clown orgy spliced in here and I wouldn’t even know it!
As if I needed another reason to be excited forDragon Age: Origins, along comes news that Tim Curry, star of such films asThe Rocky Horror Picture Show,ITand of course,Fern Gully, will be lending his unmistakable voice to BioWare’s latest RPG. Effing sweet! The game will also feature Kate Mulgrew, who sci-fi nerds will know as Captain Janeway fromStar Trek: Voyager. That doesn’t matter, however, because Tim Curry is in it and Tim Curry outranks all other celebrities....
After Lara Croft’s phenomenal rebirth last year withTomb Raider: Legend(it’s singular, n00bs!) and thesuccessof said title on the Xbox 360, it was somewhat disheartening to see the10th Anniversary remakeof the game that started it all being released solely on last-gen systems. That may have recently changed however, as according to Gamespot and the online database of theESRBEidos has split the5 major areas of the gameup and had them rated for the Xbox 360, presumably to be released as episodic DLC....
When I received my copy ofRatchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destructoidfrom Sony yesterday morning,I was met with some bad news. Unfortunately, my PlayStation 3 thought my HDD had insufficient space, asTools of Destructionrequires 419 MB of space for initial installation. Before deleting files off of my hard drive, I cried in my community blog, and was met with such gems as “Just buy another PS3 with the lavish salary that destructoid provides you,” and “Delete all of your porn....
Both GameStop and Target are asking for your old DS systems as trade-ins. They both are happy to give you a nice discount on a new Nintendo 3DS. Take Nintendo’s discount plus your trade-in and you should be able to get a 3DS for a very low price. Target says that they’ll give you $100 for your DSi XL toward a 3DS. That’s not bad at all! You’re looking at $75 for a DSi and $40 for a DS Lite, so I’d recommend that you take those to…...
When I was 12 years old, I used to study the Complete Hanbook to the Marvel Universe like how other kids studied the Bible or Penthouse Forums. Every night, I’d memorize the answers to such questions as “What criminal organization didNick Fury’s brother Scorpioonce manage?” and “What percentage of the cosmic cube went into giving Molecule Man his powers, and what percentage went into creatingthe Beyonder?” At that age, the only thing that could have torn me away from my Marvel tomes would have been something like the Mega Man: Robot Master’s Field Guide....
Okay, so it’s got a bit too much in common withHouse of the Deadand not enough withResident Evil 4than many gamers would have perhaps liked, but it can’t be denied thatResident Evil:UmbrellaChroniclesfor the Nintendo Wii is set to be quite a ride. Capcom certainly think so, since they appear to be planning a specialLimited Editionversion of the title in a themed box. A box that worryingly has “potentially infectious waste” written on the side....
It’s been the better part of a year since we first read EA’sannouncementthat they were working on a game calledMirror’s Edge, and since that time, new information on the title has been slow in coming. What we do know, is that the game’s supposed utopian city revolves around the concept of citizens relinquishing their personal freedom in exchange for what amounts to a facade — all is not so sterile and clean beneath the surface....
Anyone who has spent a significant amount of time playingSinistarunderstands how a few mere words can turn an enjoyable, if somewhat stressful, few minutes of gameplay into a downright terrifying experience.“Beware, I live!”,Sinistar bellows. Having taken too much time to accumulate the necessary crystals to charge the Sinibombs, the player now has to deal with a living, breathing, ship-eating incarnation of the titular character. Sinistar is terrifying. Sinistar is deadly. Sinistar is a really goddamn fun boss fight, and theentire gameis built around just how enjoyable it is to fight him, putting it in its own genre:the bossfight game....

According toManiac, the Japanese developer Tech Arts is working on a title called3D Custom Girl, which will be released at the end of October. The women present in the game cover pretty much every single Anime cliché in the book. The eroge will come with a USB-peripheral, shaped like a vulva, called the “USB-Onacon” that allows you to control your more intimate interactions with the virtual characters of the game....
Ok, so maybe it has something to do with the fact that since Level 5 announcedNinokuni, I’ve been swooning even since, but when I watched this trailer above I actually got chills — the good kind! I’ve really been into my PS3 lately, and knowing this title is coming down the pipeline for 2009 makes me happy to have something to look forward to when it comes to my RPG needs....
