Herecently postedhis final design for the Big Daddy that you will play in the game on his blog, Knuckle Deep, and wow does it ever look cool — I can’t wait to see cosplayers attempt to take this costume on! If you’ve missed out on previous updates on Colin’s blog, he’s also postedearly sketches of the Big Sister, herfinal design, and theCeiling Crawler,a guy you’re sure to fight once the game comes out....

If youmissed the news, BioWare is running a poll to determine the cover girl ofMass Effect 3. A variety of “FemSheps” (as they are known to fan) are running for the honor, and it seems that gamers are an unoriginal sort — the blonde, white one is winning.Yaaaawn!

The latest installment in the “meet theinsert TF2 character here” series of videos is proof that Valve hasn’t even come close to losing its touch.I don’t want to spoil the whole video for you guys, however, I will say that the Sniper’s accent was pretty unexpected, but in a good way. Also, pee jars.In case you missed the previous character videos, here they are:Heavy Weapons guy,the Scout,the Soldier,the Engineer, andthe Demoman....

At this point,Test Drive Unlimited 2looks to be a dream come true for a certain group of racing game fans. I specifically say “looks” for a reason — I don’t fall into this category myself, and none of us have gotten any hands-on time with it yet. With a fall release, there’s still plenty of time for that, though. What does this latest trailer tell us? Ibiza pool parties are happenin’, the weather system looks neat (full disclosure: I say this about every racing game ever), there’s at least slight visible car damage, and the lens flare appears to be a rainbow....

While this may only be the 11th official BritToid podcast, it is actually our one year anniversary and it has definitely been an interesting adventure. When I started working for Destructoid I always said I wanted to be on a podcast and eventually I just decided to start my own. Like a phoenix (or ‘Pheonix’ if you get the joke) we rose from the ashes of the long since departed Podcastle, and thus BritToid was born — all thanks to the help and support of my cast who are all Destructoid community members....

The latest in the smashtacularBurnoutseries,Burnout Paradise, hasskidded ontoXbox Live with a brand new demo for fans of ridiculously over-the-top racing everywhere. Couldn’t have come at a better time, too, since I’ve been craving some vehicular mayhem lately. With my download stuck at 94% and me having to be somewhere very shortly, I’m most annoyed that I won’t be able to comfortably sit back with this in time. That shouldn’t stop you from doing it, however....

Inhis reviewof the latest edition ofCall of Duty: World at War: Zombies IIJim made the point that the game was pretty insanely high priced for what it was, and that putting down $9.99 for said game was a bit suspect at best. He also said it wasn’t that great a game. In the spirit of actually getting people to buy their product masked by the excuse of a holiday celebration Activision has discounted bothZombies IandZombies II....

I don’t want to surprise anyone, but gaming companies make big announcements at E3. I know, sit down and stay cool. One gaming company that will evidently be doing this is Capcom who it is now rumored will beannouncing a sequelto one of their major franchises. The big twist? It will be in the hands of a Western developer. Capcom has already gone on record saying that it won’t be trusting new IPs to Western developers afterBionic Commandofailed to relaunch andDark Voidflopped, but they are evidently willing to trust one of their major franchises to them....

If you’re among the many people who’ve waited until the price drop or the Slim’s release this week to get a PS3, Capcom has you covered when it comes to filling your barren new hard drive. The company has bundled its downloadable PSN titles into two choice collection packs to get you started and save you some cash as well. The first is the Super Bundle, priced at $49.99, and includes:...

Capcom, without a doubt, has some of the best promo goodies in the industry. Whether it’s the classicMega Man 9NES cartridge or theResident Evilzombie hoodies, its marketing and PR team is straight up baller when it comes to creativity. Today, our review copy of the Wii-exclusiveSpyborgshit my doorstep (literally — the UPS guythrewthe box at my door), and Capcom didn’t disappoint when it comes to amusing us. In addition to a retail copy of the game (which hits stores next week on September 22), the package included a “hand decorated” folder with a pencil case tucked inside....

I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why the name “CellFactor” sounded so damn familiar, until I finally remembered a free PC game calledCellFactor: Revolution.In case you had forgotten, this game was used to demonstrate how Ageia PhysX cards could turn every day, ordinary objects like hundreds of neatly-stacked boxes and barrels into the spectacle toend all f’ing spectacles.Since I have spent so much time reminiscing, and I’d prefer not having to reiterate what the Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network titleCellFactor: Psychokinetic Warsis all about, I’ll let you catch up by readingan earlier postwe did on the game....
