Here’s three new videos forMercenaries 2: World in Flamesto supplementmy hands-on write upfrom earlier today. Perfect for if you want to have video examples to go along with my words (or if you’re just stupid and suffer from the tl;dr syndrome). All three videos pretty much show the same thing. The one of three main character running around and blowing the sh*t out of everything. The videos do a really good job of showing just how destructible the environments are....

If you ever needed more evidence of how ludicrously some publishers treat PC players, you may stop your search right here. A gamerwas recently punishedfor using “bad language” on BioWare’s forums with a ban fromDragon Age II. Yep, if you screw up on a message board, EA can stop you from playing legally purchased, offline games. The ban was for referring to EA as a “devil”, which netted the user a 72-hour suspension....

We haven’tseena whole lot of the mysteriousMushroom Wars – The Spore Wargame yet, and that’s becauseRed Fly Studioshas only been working on their adventure game for four months so far. While it might still be in the early stages of development, its creative art style has made its focus clear from the very beginning of its design. Frank Teran’s dark and detailed concept art below shows how imaginative the team has been in designing their critter-sized creations....

The 3DS released in North America just yesterday and reactions have certainly been mixed. Most of us seem to love the system as a concept, and revel in the potential it holds, while remaining unsatisfied with the current launch lineup and a number of questionable design choices. It’s clear that the 3DS has room to improve, andcanimprove, so with that in mind we took a look at the realistic short-term things it could do in order to provide a better experience....

The only thing that could make this trailer more over-the-top in the drama department is if it started with the phrase,“In a world…” Eternal Poisonis yet another in the cavalcade of Atlus titles coming stateside in the coming months. It could just be that I’ve always had a bit of a weakness for goth girls, but I’m really digging the style. And the enslavement/sacrifice mechanic mentioned in the trailer, despite being a completely different type of game and probably having no similarity in function, reminds me ofTecmo’s Deception....

So, in case you missed it, we did a charity live stream ofSuper Meat Boytoday onPublic Access Destructoid‘s channel onJustin.tv. We planned on doing it for just a few hours, but then we ended up going all day and into the night. We helped raise $2,000, and we’re all incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed. That said, it’s still not too late to donate. Here’s how the charity works. Danny B....

With the stunning mediocrity of the recentSpiderman 3movie-to-game adaptation and the theatrical abortion that was the originalFantastic Fourmovie, we have to wonder if any of you are really looking forward to this video game adaptation of the upcomingFantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Sadly, this new batch of screens doesn’t do much to change the general malaise you all must have about this title. Even looking beyond the fact that the characters look like they were carved out of wax, and that Michael Chiklis is slathered in delicious peanut butter, nothing here looks very compelling....

Wow … is it just me, or is Faith considerably less sexy in her unassembled papercraft form? Maybe it’ll improve once I assemble her. An ideal solution for whenMirror’s Edgemakes your stomach feel topsy turvy and you’re out of Dramamine, this papercraft recreation of its heroine fromRobot Martiniought to be a nice way to take a break. You can grab the PDF filehere, which as usual is absolutely free. I think it’s cool that every major game character that comes out inevitably gets a papercraft version not long afterwards, but I’m ready to see some obscure ones too....

Here’s Uwe Boll’slatest masterpiece. Based off theFarCryseries, it follows the plot from the game as Jack Carver and Valerie Constantine investigate an island full of genetically modified super soliders. It’s set to have lots of explosions, violence and dddduuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrr! YOUR PENUS IS LIKE A GUN! LOLOLOL! MEERRRRRRRR! DUUURRRRRR! MOOOOOOOO! ………… Editor’s note: Umm, sorry guys and girls, we don’t know what just happened to CTZ. We think his mind must have snapped after watching the trailer....

I’ve been playingFat Princessfor our upcoming review, and I love it to bits. However, the numerous and time-consuming online issues, including connection failures, lag and crashes, are really dragging the game down, threatening to dramatically alter the title’s score. Fortunately, Sony islooking into the problem, with a fix allegedly on the way. Titan Studios says that it’s “working with Sony now to get the patch into the Sony testing process as soon as possible....

Faith Naked uncovered a little piece of comedic gold here…Ah, Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. We had such high hopes for ye…If only the developers put as much thought into the rest of the movie as they did this video, it would’ve been a hell of a lot better. I just wish they did the entire video, though. That would’ve been great.If you happen to own this on DVD, and I think none of you should,CheatCodeCentralhas the method of how to reach it:...

If you’re down with the upcoming titleFinal Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, you’ll want to check out this new video on the game’s Crown System. This system gives you jobs that you can freely assign to your 4 Heroes as you progress. As you’ll see, simply throwing on a new crown changes your character completely. That’s all you’ll really see here, though: Changing different crowns and how they affect the character’s looks and abilities....

Resident Evil: Degenerationis an all CG film set for a straight-to-DVD release in Japan sometime in 2008. Details of the film’s contents remain unknown beyond the scant bits of information derivable from these screens. For starters, the film is apparently set seven years after the destruction of Raccoon City in 1998. And it appears to feature two of the series’ most popular characters, Claire Redfield and Leon S Kennedy. But wait — during 2004,the timeResident Evil 4took place, wasn’t Leon a special agent for the President?...
