Easily my pick for this week isDead Space. I already got my copy and am loving this game so hard. Even when it makes me almost pee my pants! The only other game I might consider getting this week isSaints Row 2. Otherwise, not much else. That’s OK though sinceDead Spaceis all I need right now. What’s looking sw33t to you?

The PlayStation Network multiplayer titleWarhawkis seeing some improvements by way of a new patch, as well as with the introduction of in-game watchers called Arbiters. ThePlayStation Blogupdates us on the upcoming v1.1 patch, coming at the end of October. The biggest fix is to some stats and connection issues that some players were experiencing. Also, the Max Clan limit has been upped from 32 to 64. WarhawkArbiters have been put in place to fix cheating issues....

How Nintendo can manage to somehow be marketing geniuses and simultaneously make gamers groan with resentment is a trick that should be worthy of only David Blaine, but they keep on doing it. After their E3 press conference, I thought I’d had the ultimate experience when it comes to understanding that they no longer care about my demographic, but this really deals an even harsher blow. From Bags To Richesis a fairly clever little website that allows women to rent designer bags....

We’re well into April, and baseball season is in full swing (pun intended). You know what’s also going on around this time of year? Nintendo’s semiannual media summit, which is currently being held outside of San Francisco in Redwood City, California. As many of you know, Destructoid has a significant amount of Frisco-based staff; for example,Tiff Chowwas able to bring us apreview ofFallout 3by attending an event there. So it wouldn’t be outside the realm of believability for Destructoid to get invited to the Nintendo event, right?...

It’s not just Kurt Cobain’s non-murdering wife whohates what Activision has doneto Kurt Cobain inGuitar Hero 5. Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, former members of Nirvana, haveissued a statementcriticizing Activision’s use of the dead musician, stating that they believe he deserves better. “We want people to know that we are dismayed and very disappointed in the way a facsimile of Kurt is used in theGuitar Herogame,” states the bassist and drummer....

Last night was the annual NIS America showcase here in San Francisco. Only two games were at the event this year for the press to get their hands on, which was odd at first but quickly became apparent as to why this was NIS’s smallest showing ever. Souhei Niikawa, the President of Nippon Ichi Software, revealed that the company “will limit the number of titles [they] release in a year. This is so they can “improve the game[s] quality, and also to increase the customer satisfaction....

Notice the quote in the image directly above? Yep, Freddy Kruegeractuallydropped that line in the movieFreddy’s Dead. I’ll have you know I’ve been waiting all year for an excuse to get a quote from that glorious movie onto Destructoid, and this was the perfect opportunity. Earlier today, Bethesda Softworks released theGarden ofEdenCreationKit,Fallout 3‘s official editor. As with every other big-name title that has mod creation tools, I fully expect to see you guys come up with all sorts of crazy, disturbing, and even hilarious quests while I sit on my ass and mash on this keyboard....

I was sold onMs. ‘Splosion Manfrom the moment I heard the name. I’m a sucker for any game that dares mix of “Ms.” or “Lady” with “Man.” Of course, the real draw of the game is that it’s the semi-sequel to‘Splosion Man, my favorite pre-Super Meat Boy2D platformer on XBLA. Here’s an exclusive live recording of “Mandy,” one of the songs from the game’s soundtrack, performed live at PAX East by the one and only Chainsaw....

Next System PlayStation Meeting? Omigodguys, you’ll never believe what happened. I found a PS3 for ten bucks — that’s right, a PlayStation 3, normally sold for upwards of $500, procured for a single slimHamilton. It’s weird, though.The discs won’t fitand the component cables I bought, there’s no port for them on the back. Oh god, I’ve been had! Witness the latest in a series of displays of unparalleledchutzpah:aFamiclone, weakly rebranded as a PS3 — specifically, as a “Next System Playstation Meeting”....

Tonight’s edition of Podtoid will be what we call “cosy” at best, since everybody’s f*cked off to GDC and left those considered too ugly or shameful to appear in public behind. Anthony Burch won’t be in attendance, nor will Brad Nicholson or Aaron Linde. I know, it sucks. What’s worse is that Samitwillbe available. That’s like adding insult to injury, right? Since the show will mostly consist of myself, Samit and Topher, we’re going to need your help....

I like how your average gamer will turn up their nose at the Pokémon franchise like they’re too good for it, yet the series still ranks among the best selling portable titles of all time. Somehow, I find it tough to believe that’s all eight year olds buying all those copies. Call me crazy, but I’m just saying. AndriaSangposted a slew of new screens and art from the upcomingPokémonHeart Gold/Silver, and admittedly they do look pretty adorable....

There was a cheap PS3 for a very short while last year, but that disappeared when the holidays came. Everyone wanted a Blu-ray player for Christmas, and I was recommending the PS3 instead — but they’d laugh at me and the PS3’s $400 price tag. And I can’t blame them. I tell them that I paid $600 for mine, and they laugh harder.[pout] A price of $339.99 takes some of the sting off, doesn’t it?...

Steam has recently started to add some free-to-play titles to its lineup, andWar Inc. Battlezoneis the newest addition. This third-person shooter is off to a rough start with its beta having problems like server lag, bad hit detection, and some weird collision problems. Thankfully, the developers are quick to provide solid patches that address these issues. And thanks to it being available on Steam, it also has a strong player base, which means you’ll always be able to jump into a quick match....
