The Conduit 2is coming to the Wii on February 15 and I’m somewhat looking forward to it. Theoriginal gamewasalrightin that really sneery meaning of the word, so I’m eager to see what improvements have been made. The trailer doesn’t show a whole lot of new stuff, but it should get you in the mood if you’re looking forward to it. Is anybody else looking forward to it? I need to know these things!...

Yesterday in Los Angeles, a tournament for the ages was held. Long will mankind speak of the Classic Tetris World Championship and the name Jonas Neubauer will be inextricably linked with the event as its first victor. You can watch all the exciting action filmed at the Downtown Independent Theater in the video above. Okay, I’ll level with you. When I heard about the story, I thought it cool and was rather excited to watch the video....

Today’sWorld Famous Portmanteauwill be yet another experiment, as the “winner” will get to take over the feature this Friday while I play the booth babes and take pictures of the games at Blizzcon. The other difference is that this portmanteau will be hypothetically endless, as there are no actual prizes being given out. So after my port is defeated (presumably by Gomeja), you guys and gals can go back and forth as long as you really want to....

Even if we all can’t agree that games are art, we can definitely agree that games can inspire great art. I thinkArt Attack Fridayproves this well every Friday. As part of the UK’sGamecity festival, the festival organizers commissioned three of their favorite games to be turned intominimalist works of art. 15 pixels to recreate some of the Gamecity organizer’s favorite games sounds pretty challenging, but the creative minds at the design collective Alaskan Military School have come up with some great stuff....

Are you still looking for your Nintendo Wii, only to find barren shelves and frowny faces? Are you still rabidly determined to purchase the system despite thenaysayers?Well, our highly efficient Destructoid robot webscanners have you covered. If you may spring a few extra bucks,Sam’s Club.comhas three bundles ripe for the picking. Two of the bundles are systems with three games, but I like theHardware and Accessories Bundle, as it’s stuff you know you’re going to buy anyway (includes extra remote controller, extra Nunchuk, classic controller and Wii points card)....

Here’s another chance to voice your opinion and ultimately choose which games get the high honors. This time around, you get to prove your undying love for your favorite Xbox Live Arcade games that were released in 2007. With categories like “best competitive multiplayer game” and “best original game,” I couldn’thelp but vote forBomberman LiveandPacman CEas much as humanely possible. There are a few other categories barred from voting such as “best selling game” that will be announced at GDC in February, along with the general public’s top picks....

Alone on Valentine’s Day? Don’t fret. V Day is just another holiday on which you could be wasting money on a lover who will break your heart in the end anyway. The smarter thing to do is invest your hard-earned cash in Xbox Live. It never forgets your name in the morning and always wants to show you something new. Best of all, it doesn’t make you sleep on the sofa for enjoying bloody death....

It was teased yesterday in a panel here at San Diego Comic-Con, but now Capcom has officially announced a collaboration with Sanrio, makers of Hello Kitty, Chococat and other ridiculously cute animal things. Capcom says that co-branded Street Fighter themed merchandise will hit shelves sometime near fall 2012. That Chun-Li Hello Kitty we saw yesterday is exactly what you’re able to expect from this collaboration as Capcom says they will sell a broad range of merchandise featuring Hello Kitty dressed in the costumes you know from the Street Fighter world....

After taking a small break last week, YTMND Thursday is back. This week’s selection is a little smaller than usual, but at least I’m not skipping a week again. The extra helping of Random Man Now Dogs should make up for the smaller selection of videogame-related YMTNDs. My favorite this week is videogames in real life. It’s so damn well done. Thanks to Qalamari for the assist. What are your favorites this week?...

It’s not very often that the announcement of a sequel to a videogame puts a smile on my face, but then againZeno Clashisn’t your average game. While developer ACE Team is still hard at work on pumping out free downloadable content, the studio has entered into the planning stage for its next project,Zeno Clash 2. Besides seeing the return of a few familiar faces like Ghat, Father Mother, and Golem, the sequel will continue after whereZeno Clash‘s storyline left off....

Are you excited? I am… sort of. Zero is really fun to use inTatsunoko Vs. Capcom, and I’m sure he’ll be just as fun inMarvel Vs. Capcom 3. That’s where the “sort of” comes in. It looks like he’s almost the exact same fighter that he was inTatsunoko Vs. Capcom. It’s hard for me to get fully psyched about these kinds of “new” characters forMarvel Vs. Capcom 3. I’ll probably feel the same way when Frank West makes his inevitableMarvel Vs....

Ever wanted to pretend to meet Bruce Willis? Now you can! To celebrate the upcoming release ofLive Free or Die Hard, those fellas at Fox are offering contestants a chance to meet with Mr. McClane himself, to lucky winners with the inclination and time on their hands to take theDie Hard Fan Quiz. Why am I wasting everybody’s time talking about that? Because you won’t get to physically meet him. Instead, you will have the distinct pleasure of chatting with the man through the medium ofSecond Life....

When we first told you thatsomeone had nabbed a copy ofBioShocka bit early, some were doubtful, but as the day went on, more and more lucky gamers got their brag on. We knew then that some retailer really did break the street date. For shame, Toys R Us, forshame! 2k Games made an official comment on the situation on theCult of Rapturemessageboards. In an attempt to settle some of the confusion, Ryan Jones, Senior Account Executive at Access Communications said:...
