Of all Capcom’srecently announced titles, the game that’s caught my eye is undoubtedlyDragon’s Dogma. This open-world fantasy game looks like exactly my type of jam, and these new screens do little to change my mind. Accompanying the pictures are renders of the three “careers” that players can pursue — the Fighter, Mage and Strider. They’re exactly what you think they are, with Fighters specializing in close quarter combat, Mages dealing out magic and Striders fulfilling the swift, ranged role....

With plans to give away both a PS3, a 360, and cold hard cash at tomorrow night’sMiami NARP event, I can understand why you might be burning with jealousy if you can’t make it out. If you add in the fact that Destructoid’s first line of official fan accessories debuts there tomorrow night too, well, you just might get addled enough to book yourself a plane ticket. Don’t blame me, I’m just the messenger....

Eric Chahi might not be a household name to most gamers, but his seminal game,Another World(known asOut of This Worldin North America) is one that many folks have fond memories of.Project Dustmay not be a household name for most gamers, either, but if you saw the trailer for it at the end of Ubisoft’s press conference (or above), you’re probably interested in it. Why bring these two things up together? Because Chahi is developingDust, a game that he calls a spiritual successor toPopulous, and that is a very awesome thing....

Alright, here it is. You’ve been wanting to seePortal 2since it was announced and now IGN has it for us. Three videos of all thePortal 2action you can handle with commentary. Actually, that is a lie. We could all handle a whole lot more, but this is all we’re getting right now so you better enjoy it. Of course, the PlayStation 3 is the only way to get theultimate console version ofPortal 2, so that is what we are seeing in the videos....

“Our first tendency forRed Faction: Guerrillawas ‘have at it, have fun destroying everything.’,” says Volition creative director Jacques Hennequet, speaking of last year’s title, which brought unprecedented destructibility to games with its update GeoMod technology. The upcomingRed Faction: Armageddon, which is set to hit shelves in March of next year, brings more focus to the series. “Now we’re refining this a little bit and we are integrating the destruction into the gameplay more,” he says....

I love theRidge Racerfranchise for its style and its fast, arcade-y racing action, but not much has been done with the core formula in awhile. A new game, Ridge Racer Unbounded, is out to add something new and unexpected to the mix: Destructible environments. I got a behind closed doors look atRidge Racer Unboundedthis week at E3. I was glad to see that Developer BugBear Entertainment (FlatOuttitles) has kept all the original style and approachability of the classic Namco racer, but seeing my first car-to-wall collision in a demo was a bit of a surprise....

French video game store Micromania recently held its annual Micromania Game Show inParis. This year, the ticket sellers were undoubtedly the Playstation 3 and the Wii. I had never played with either before going to the MGS so I had a lot of catching up to do. You’ll get my impressions about some of the Wii and PS3 games shown there after the jump. –Wario Ware Smooth Moves(Wii): After playingWario Ware Touchedon the DS for the first time, I had to buy the console....

[Our first promoted blog for last week’s eSports topic is from I Palindrome I who, like many of this week’s respondents, talked about EVO. Promotions will happen this entire week — if you want to see your blog on the front page, make sure you write a CBlog on our current topic,East vs. West. — JRo] In order to answer the question “Can video games work as a spectator sport?” we must first look at the criteria for what makes for good, watchable material....

[WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS IMAGES THAT MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME VIEWERS. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.] Last week, I got the chance to catch up with Edmund McMillen, co-creator ofSuper Meat Boy. I asked him how he felt about the critical reception that the game has received so far, about our chances for aSuper Meat Boy 2, and what he’s working on right now. I also confront him about my one complaint aboutSuper Meat Boy....

When it was unveiled that the ability to jump would be inBionic Commando Rearmed 2, some of you freaked out. Just a tad. Well, maybe considerably more than that. But now many of us havetriedjumping, and there’s been a more positive reaction on the whole. At least, that’s the impression I get. Even still,here’s a videoof developer Fatshark kind of sorta defending the new feature. The fact that you’re given a greater sense of momentum (which has always definedBC, to me) — and the levels are designed with jumps in mind — is more than enough....

With everything coming out this fall, I completely forgot about the new version ofLost in Bluefor Wii. It hit stores two weeks ago and, to remind us, Konami has released this new trailer showing few of the mini-game activities players will encounter. I’ve really enjoyed playing this series on the DS and was looking forward to this one, so I’ll probably wind up buying it. It’s a lot more cutesy than the handheld versions, though, which is a bit of a turn-off in what has traditionally been a fairly serious game....

“Truckers Delight” is directed by Jérémie Perin who takes you on a ride full of rape and poop. It’s all done in a 16-bit, Sega style game and at first glance, you would think this is aPaul Robertsonanimation. Really, you have no idea what you’re about to watch. Yes, the video is a few days old and Ha-Puken evenposted iton the C Blogs. Deal with it. Check out the NSFW AT ALL video above and get ready for your eyes to explode....

We’ve finally done it. After hours of planning, a grueling selection process, many “work” breaks to watch movies, and more butter-flavored popcorn than a group of human beings should consume, we’re all set to launch ModernMethod’s brand-spanking new, completely amazing, totally rocking, soul-burningly good movie site. If you were at Destructoid’sPAX panel, you may have heard about it. If not, let me introduce you to Flixist.com!
