Leaked pages from the Asteroids movie screenplay

[vitaminh stumbled upon the greatest find on the Internet ever! More pages may show up in the future too! — CTZ] I know I’m not the only one eagerly awaiting the upcomingmovie based on the classic videogameAsteroids, so when some random pages from the script ended up in my mailbox, I knew I had to share.

Metro: Last Light gets first public video demonstration

THQ has started to release theMetro: Last Lightgameplay demo is kindly showed us behind closed doors at E3 this year. I say “started” because it’s been broken into three parts and is getting drip-fed to the Internet. Because that’s not annoying at all. The demo was intended to show off Metro’s new engine, so it’s a little more action-heavy that one can expect the full game to be. It looks utterly gorgeous though and I have very, very high hopes....

Monster Hunter + Universal Studios = ??

There’s a special event taking place Universal Studios Japan (great theme park!) this summer, and it is a collaborative effort with Capcom and their Monster Hunter games. We’re not sure what’s going down there, but this park likes to do things big, so this could be something crazy. I know the graphic for the event (shown above) looks crazy. I hope it’s a MonHun ride.Andriasangsays that right now there’s ateaser page up at USJthat mentions the recreation of the game’s world, but doesn’t go into detail....

New AvP trailer proves that Aliens are blatantly better

If there’s one thing Sega is good at, it’s managing to shove out as many trailers for a game as humanly possible. I’ve lost track of the amount ofAliens vs. Predatorvideos we’ve posted on Destructoid, but I know it’s a lot. Still, this new one is pretty cool as it’s all about my favorite sci-fi monster — the Xenomorph. This gameplay trailer shows a slice of the Alien single-player campaign. As you’re able to see, our slobbering, phallic-headed friend has broken out of a Weyland-Yutani research facility and must free its siblings for some murderous chicanery....

NYC PS3 lines getting re-god-damn-diculous

See what you’ve done Sony? Do you see the carnage and hell you’ve unleashed? I hope you’re happy with yourselves.Lookat what my fellow New Yorkers have had to endure thanks to your piece of sh*t launch strategy. You can’t even handle a launch right at your own store: Outside the SonyStyle Store in Midtown Manhattan, several gamers voiced their disgust at the way the line was being managed, complaining of seeing their place in line move further back because of line jumpers....

NYCC: X-Men: Destiny gets stylishly teased

I’m still having a hard time believing that Silicon Knights, the maker ofEternal DarknessandToo Human, is teaming up with Activision to bring usX-Men: Destiny. We don’t know what type of game it will be, who it’s about (other than unnamed new recruits), or what platforms it’ll hit. Even still, they have my attention merely because SK is developing. So bizarre. New York Comic-Con attendees can find out more at booth #1833, or at the Marvel Games Panel on Saturday, October 9, at 10:45 AM in Room 1A06....
