Dante’s Inferno can’t say ‘Go to Hell’ during Super Bowl

Dante’s Infernois gearing up for one of the most prestigious advertising slots that America has to offer — a spot in the Super Bowl commercial lineup. However, there’s going to be a sacrifice in order to reach such a huge audience.Dante’s Infernowill not be able to use its infamous “Go to Hell” tagline. “It was deemed too provocative,” explains promotional man Paulo Ribeiro. “The final verdict has yet to be rendered, but it is unlikely that we will get [it on the game....

Destructoid Interview: Ben ‘Zombie Massacre FTW’ Krotin

Since it was revealed, the crazy new Wii concept ofZombie Massacrehas continued to draw bemused glances from gamers. At first, we were floored by the insanely ridiculous idea concerning nuclear warheads being driven into a zombie-infested city. Next came news that, prior to even a publisher being signed on, Uwe Boll hadsnapped upthe movie license rights. Yes,Zombie Massacreis a weird one, but we like weird here at Destructoid. The game’s developer, 1988 Games, also seems to like us, and when producer Benjamin ‘Cowboy’ Krotin contacted us to explain exactly what on Earth possessed him to throw in his lot with The Raging Boll, we decided to wrestle him into a chair, shine a light in his eyes and make him tell us so much more....

Dragon Age: Origins trailer is ready for the new sh*t

I will say one thing forSacred 2— it’s gotten me really interested in dungeon crawling, grinding action RPGs. Beforehand, you couldn’t eventrickme into being interested inDragon Age: Origins.

Dtoid (the show) week 9: Yippie Kie-eye-ay Mother Trucker

Some times things don’t go as planned. Bruce Willis might drop the f-bomb on your nationally broadcast basketball game,Boglins mighttake over your live stream, or worse, your every-other-daily internet television show might get railroaded by technical difficulties at the last minute. One of those three things is the cause behind the lack of show that we had on Friday. I’m not going to tell you which it is, but I will tell you that if all goes well, we’ll have two episodes posted on Monday....

EA: PS3/360 console war is good for business

Electronic Arts European SVP Jens Uwe doesn’t believe in peace and love. In fact, he is digging the console war as head-to-head competition is very good for third party publishers like EA. “Traditionally, third-party publishers are stronger on Microsoft and Sony platforms than on Nintendo, so 360 and PS3 getting stronger certainly suits us,” says Uwe. “… We could certainly see Sony come back — in the UK it’s still a head-to-head competition between PlayStation and Xbox, but on the continent Sony is traditionally stronger than Microsoft....

Early footage of Mega Man Legends 3 surfaces

Shown behind closed doors, this early footage ofMega Man Legends 3is really early stuff. It looks like they just got started on the game a few weeks ago. I don’t care though. It’s always great to see Servebot in action, particularly in a realMega Man Legendsgame. Guest apperances inDead RisingandMarvel Vs. Capcomgames are fine, but there is nothing like the real thing (baby). Mega Man Legends in-development footage– [GoNintendo]

Epic 4-minute Lost Planet 2 trailer has pirate love

With such a heavy focus on co-op and the inclusion ofcertaincharactersinLost Planet 2, I was starting to wonder if there would be any sort of serious story elements in the game, or if you’d simply be tasked with moving from area to area, killing everything in your way. The latter choice would have been perfectly acceptable in my book; not every videogame has to tell a gripping narrative. Based on this latest trailer, though, a full story will be present....

EVE Online: Empyrean Age launches

It’s also worth noting how CCP is planning to provide the backstory on this interstellar conflict. It will be told througha novelwritten by Tony Gonzales entitledEVE: The Empyrean Agethat will be releasing on June 19. I do find it a little funny that players won’t knowwhythey’re blowing each others’ ships up until they’ve been at it for a week, though. Are anyEVE: Onlineplayers looking forward to the increased focus on PvP?...

Fairy Tales has some screenshots, reminds us it exists

Have you heard of a game calledFairy Tales: Three Heroes? If not, you can be forgiven, because it was originally announced in October 2007. The game comes from Russia and is supposed to be a humorous action game in which players control a group of three “famous” heroes and protect four different regions from their respective oppressive villains. Now that we’re up to speed, developer Cats Who Play (awesome name) has released a set of new screenshots, and the game is looking quite nice....

Fake game Friday: Venery Chase

Who hasn’t looked at the PS3 Home system and thought to themselves, “You know, the only thing missing here is Bourne Identity-esque intrigue and a gripping, all-pervasive sense of paranoia”?Nobody, that’s who. Especially not forumiteAdamska, who conceptualized this week’s fake game (Photoshopped above by our own Topher Cantler):Venery Chase. Venery Chaseuses the PS3’s Home system not just as a social networking device, but as a massive, realistic, subtle MMO. There’s no levelling up or gold farming or even that much combat withinVenery Chase; it’s just about being intelligent and doing what you have to do travel the world unnoticed....
