As far as I know, there are only two artistic works in existence that prove bunnies can be badass:Watership Down, andLugaru. Lugaru‘s been around for quite a while — four years, to be exact — so if you’ve never heard of it, now’s the time to check it out. It’s a remarkably intense and intuitive third person brawler, made even more remarkable when you realize David Rosen made it when he was still in high school....
Our “Indie Nation” series highlights worthwhile, independently-produced games. Oh hello I did not see you come in! You have played with theBarkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaidengame and enjoyed, yes? Good news! GZ Storm, a group that was having been worked on the first game, now has another game that they did call78641 – A Targ Adventure(translated from the original Esperanto with all permissions and rectitude). 78641is a game for people who enjoy!...
PC gamers already hopping mad at Infinity Ward over thelack of dedicated serversinModern Warfare 2might want toskip this story. The studio has responded to a number of fan questions surrounding the controversial decision, and the answer isn’t what you want to hear. Even moreso, it’s been revealed that servers across all platforms, PC included, will max out at eighteen players. “All I can say is that we changed it to make it a better and easier experience....
As a sort of “thank you” to theJust Cause 2community/fanbase, free DLC has been released from the folks at Square Enix, and is available today on XBLA, PSN and Steam. What’s thisJust Cause 2DLC? It’s a cute little rickshaw called Tuk Tuk Boom Boom, and here’s what you can expect from it (from the press release): It’s safe to say, there’s never been a ride quite like the Tuk Tuk Boom Boom....
TheKillzone 2“Steel & Titanium” map pack was rumored to be a free download, but such belief has exposed the naivety of the common gamer. Far from being a freebie, these two maps will instead demand the princely sum of $5.99. That’s kind of a lot for just two maps. When I first heard about the DLC, I was keen to try it out, but considering you could get a whole PlayStation Classic for that much cash, this bears a bit more thought than I had first intended....
Oh, Konami. You’re such a tease. On the company’sFacebook page, it posted a question that’ll surely end in heartbreak. “In a perfect world, what previously released Konami classic would you like to see next on XBLA and PSN?” I think the obvious answer has to beThe Simpsons, but there’smuch to pick fromout of the Konami library. Imagine a world where that gamedoesn’tneed to be in everyone’s “Games that must come to Xbox Live Arcade” list....
MMOs aren’t our typical beat at Destructoid but it was hard to pass up a chance to look atPrime Worlddue to their booth that actually had a bounce house. Yes, a bounce house. At E3. Videogames! So yeah, I interviewed Sergey Orlovskiy, Executive Producer, President and founder of Nival as he gave me the lowdown on whatPrime Worldactually entails. There’s questing, puzzle games and other MMO stuff! P.S. Major props to Bob Muir who was the one filming and editing all my videos at E3....
So I heard you like zombies. GameTrailers must have heard too, as they’ve just put up five new gameplay trailers for Valve’s upcoming survival horror cooperative shooterLeft 4 Dead(all viewable after the jump).Project Lead Mike Booth talks about some of the features we can expect to see whenLeft 4 Deadships on November 4 in the above video interview.The importance of players working together for success is heavily stressed. As Booth points out, if everyone on the team doesn’t cooperate then everyone is probably going to end up dead at the hands of bloodthirsty zombies....
Final Fantasy Xis my favorite game in the Final Fantasy series. Feel free to go into the comments and wail and moan aboutFinal Fantasy VIIand Cloud and Aerith and how stupid I am all you want; for me,FFXis as good as it gets. The soundtrack ofFinal Fantasy Xis especially memorable, and so it’s no surprise that this clever interpretation of the game’s opening theme, “To Zanarkand”, captured my heart in all of a millisecond....
Tonight Backlog sets forth on its fifteenth game, the creepy, crawlyDeadly Creaturesfor Wii. I’m excited to play a game that Chad found enough inspiration in to writea feature urging developers to take note. I also like games which present the world from a micro-perspective and anything which has Dennis Hopper in it. While we’re being honest, the game could have just been Dennis Hopper repeating his dialog fromApocalypse Nowfor six hours and I’d still have bought it....
[Not sure what Mash Tactics is? I’ve included a classic highlight to show you just a glimpse of what you’ve been missing, you daft fool! You can see all of Destructoid’s previously aired live showsin our archives.] Today,Mash Tacticsis playing the spirit-crushing RPGDark Souls, a game that is sinisterly designed to punish. Jon Carnage, a man known for his pile of rage-torn shirts, claims to have breezed through the comparably difficult predecessorDemon’s Souls....
This morning on Saturday Morning Hangover, we’re going to make probably our biggest mistake ever: Operate under the assumption that we are able to handle physics puzzles this early in the day. Jordan and I will be attempting the cooperative portion ofPortal 2today, which ought to be amusing. In the first hour of our show, as per usual, we’ll be playing the week’s Xbox Live Indie Games releases. And Katrina is excited because she has a BIG DAY planned for herself that will no doubt become a topic of conversation....
