The above video is a promotional highlight reel of the upcoming features found inGeometry Wars: Galaxies, the upcoming semi-sequel to Xbox LIVE Arcade mega-smashGeometry Wars.Galaxies, while not as pretty as the XBLA version, brings many new features to the table including multiplayer,Gradius-esque helper ships, new enemies, and stages that aren’t constricted to mere squares.Honestly, I fell in love with the originalGeometry Warsthe moment I played it and I’m intensely excited about this game being updated....
Ookoohko Oy, the indie studio behind the well-received iPhone gameGet Outta My Galaxy, has released an upgraded and universalHD versionthat finally adds full iPad support, and adds a bunch of new additions. An interactive map screen now allows you to select levels to replay, gems can be collected for unlockable bonus levels, a new enemy type was added, new puzzle elements were added, and generally all levels have received a lot of tweaking....
We’ve been running around slathering drool on everything related to the upcomingGhostbustersgame, despite its move from Activision Blizzard hands to those of Atari. After all, this is one of the most beloved films of all time — it’s understandable that people are hopeful for a good game adaption. But there definitely were times this year when it seemed that the title would never see the light of day, despitewhat some people had to sayabout the matter....
That’s one of my all-time favorite Destructoid header images.Colette Bennettrocks my socks. Twenty-five years ago this June, a modern comedy classic was released in theaters — and it’s going to have one hell of a 25th anniversary celebration. Sony is putting out the originalGhostbusterson Blu-ray on June 30, 2025, and Atari will be releasingGhostbusters: The Video Game(already confirmedfor a June release) in North America on the very same day. (Europe, as usual, will be getting the game that Friday, June 19th)....
Bare-knuckle prison boxing?Fight Night Championhas it. Seeing is believing, of course, and this trailer’s got what you need. It also features more story and more drama in the one-minute-and-thirty-second clip than every boxing game that has come before it… all of them combined, that is. There’s profanity, there’s shouting, there’s a gun… clearly,Fight Night Championis not your average boxing game. As a fan of theFight Nightseries over the years, seeing what EA Sports is adding to flesh out the experience truly has me excited....
Our first look at the latest from theSoldier of Fortuneseries shows us exactly what you would expect from it. Tons of blood and limbs flying all over the place! From this first video, I’d have to say it’s looking some what good. The graphics look good and the guns look great. To bad the enemy A.I. looks to be completely retarded.I remember the first time I played this series. First thing I did was blow a guy’s arm off with a shotgun....
Activision has announced the next months worth of downloadable content forGuitar Hero 5, in addition to the previously announcedRolling Stones Live Track Pack. It is… AFI Track Pack September 24 Each of the above listed packs will cost you $5.49/440 MS Points, or $1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii Points per song. If you picked upGuitar Hero 5this week (maybe based on our relatively positive review) do you see anything you like?...
Oh dear. There really is no end to all thisHalobusiness (or Teh Haloz, as the internet affectionately calls it.) That being said, I don’t know many people who don’t love lolcats, so the launch ofHalolcatsought to get some of you giggling. The site utilizes therating systemmuch likeicanhascheezburger.comdoes. Also, I’ve been saving the above lolcat pic for the story that seemed to match it, so I’m delighted it finally found a home....
And with that, we have a new “best ever song to be played over videogame end credits.” The crown goes toRogue Warrior, which apparently exists. I was under the impression it was still stuck in development hell, but I’m told the game hit store shelves today. You could have fooled me, honestly. Much love goes out toGiantBombandNerdistfor finding what has to be one of the very few reasons to playRogue Warrior....
Have you ever seen someone playing something so crazy looking that you just had to stop and ask what the hell it was? That’s what these screens from the newly launched LocoRoco space for PlayStation Home would have me asking? The new space, probably tied to the upcoming PSP releaseLocoRoco Midnight Carnival’s November, is set on an island where plenty of the little blobs are hanging out. There’s trumpet face guy, beehive house, and a whole bunch of other sh*t that doesn’t make sense, and then there’s you, standing in the middle of all of it, wondering why you’re in Home and not actually playing LocoRoco?...
I guarantee that this is the weirdest thing you’ll see today. If you’re familiar withHeavy Rain, you may know that the playable characters in the game were based off of real people — the voice actors for the respective roles. Sam Douglas voiced, and provided the character model for, private investigator Scott Shelby. (Here’swhat Shelby looks like in the game.) What you probably didn’t know until now, though, is that Douglas played a bit part in the 2005 filmDerailed, which featured Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston....
As we shamble ever nearer toLeft 4 Dead 2‘s release date, the information is flying thick and fast. Yesterday,it was discoveredthat Avatar Awards would be a part of the Xbox 360 version, allowing players to kit their soulless little Xbox Live imps with frying pans, medkits and shirts. Now there are pictures. Let’s look at them! These screens come courtesy ofOfficial Xbox Magazine, and they look pretty snazzy if you’re into that sort of thing....
