The Making of System Shock 2: we used to walk uphill in the snow to kill monkeys

Normally I wouldn’t pimp the work of other sites like this, but Next Gen hasa fantastic articleup detailing the creation ofSystem Shock 2, the spiritual precursor toeveryone’s favorite interactive study in Ayn Rand’s Objectivism. Of course, back in those halcyon days, developers didn’t need the fascist ramblings of long-dead immigrants to tell a story andSS2’sfrightening tale of isolation, cybernetic tampering and psychokinetic zombie monkeys should be required playing for anyone enrolled in Destructoid State University....

This guy and that guy are back for another MadWorld announcers trailer

After having played a little bit ofMadWorldat NY Comic Con last week, I have to say that my interest remains high. Pulled in by the violent, over-the-top premise, I was fearful it would be a repetitive button-mashing waggle-fest. 10 minutes of gameplay proved that my fears were warranted … lots of button-mashing, and lots of waggling. The good news, is wasn’t necessarily a bad thing — MadWorld looks like it’ll have enough variety in terms of attack animations and creative deaths that it won’t much matter....

This is (was) QuakeCon

For most media outlets, QuakeCon coverage consists of previews, interviews and panel recaps. Destructoid’s got you covered on that, but my main interest in visiting QuakeCon was in getting down and dirty at the more than 3,000 person LAN party going on far away from the press area. After a couple nights in the LAN room, one-too-many energy drinks and meeting the ordinary people, I have returned out of a BAWLS-fueled haze to preach the gospel of QuakeCon....

This week’s VC releases: Bub, Bob, David, Cathy, and Roddy say ‘Happy New Year!’

According to Nintendo’s official press release, “you’ve got some outrageous new options” for New Year’s Eve. For your sake, I certainly hope that none of your options are playing Virtual Console games by yourself this evening. At least two of today’s Virtual Console options support two player cooperative, and along with a bottle of sparkling cider and some party horns, might make for a decent New Year’s Eve. Taito’sBubble Bobble(NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points) is the first, putting you in control of Bub and Bob in 100 stages of bubble-trapping and bubble-popping action....

Two idiotic ‘celebrities’ blame violence on videogames

You may remember Anne Diamond for theludicrous game reviews she wrotefor theDaily Mail. You may remember Stefanie Powers fromHart to HartandNOTHING ELSE. These two shitmunchers appeared on TV to talk about therecent murder of young boyand blame it on videogames. As you do. “I hate to think that as Americans we’ve exported along with rap music and the horrible video … I say the horrible video culture,” warbled Powers. “It’s the horrible violent video games [wiggles thumbs] which, I’m terribly sorry, they’ve been used far too long as baby-sitting devices, so that children are raised with these flashing, hot symbols of violence....
