Electronic Arts might be shamelessly copyingModern Warfare 2withMedal of Honor: Reboot, but that doesn’t mean the publisher is willing to follow Infinity Ward blindly. The company has stated that it would not have done the controversial “airport scene” found in the latestCall of Duty, saying that it went too far. “We wouldn’t have done it, we didn’t do it”, explainsArmy of Twoproducer Matt Turner. “For me personally I think the alarm bells went off in a big way on that one because it was out of context....

OK, enough is enough. I can’t take it anymore. Here’s another God damned trailer forGrand Theft Auto IV, this time focusing on the game’s central character, Niko Bellic. I’m tired of this trailer crap … give me the damned game, already. I know it’s in stores, too. I spoke with some GameStop folks who said they received their shipments yesterday, and they’re just sitting in their stock rooms collecting dust until April 29....

Edge of Twilightis one of the most exciting concepts we’ve heard in a long time. Promising to push the boundaries of videogame storytelling, the blurred moral lines and cinematic, world changing scope of this steampunk action adventure are an enticing prospect for any fan of gaming’s artistic side. Of course, with high ambition comes a high risk. Many times, we have followed a game with amazing ideas that just fall flat on their faces, or promises of deep and immersing storytelling that devolve into the flat, mundane black-and-white disappointment we should have known was coming....

Tipster ConsFEARacy stumbled upon thisNeoGAF threadwhich leads tothe Web siteof the guy who createdEchochrome. You’d think this site would only contain media about the game and a bunch of useless facts, but no, there is actually a playable demo ready for download. But before you download anything, you have to remember that this demo was created beforeEchochromewas (presumably)submitted toand picked up by Sony, so you can’t expect an overwhelming amount of polish or a finished game....

Your friends and mine over atI-Mockeryhave finally created what I know we’ve all hoped for:aFinal Fight-style beat-em-up starring Ivan Drago. Yeah,thatIvan Drago — the Russian powerhouse what sent Apollo Creed to an early grave inRocky IV. Ostensibly bored of killing champion boxers with his superblondness in Mother Russia, Ivan’s got himself a new task at hand: kicking the unholy crap out of everything that moves in the United States. From the game:...

The latest issue ofOfficial Xbox 360 Magazine— slated to hit shelves this Thursday — contains a preview of the fresh newMedal of Honorin its pages. For the time being, we have got a few basic details to give us insight into the mystery of this modern-day series reboot. We were already aware of the location, and most of the other bullet points are more or less staples of those popular modern first-person shooters the kids are always going on about....

Weirdest headline ever? We’ve been in business for over four years, so probably not. Off the top of my head, this story aboutSexy Beach 3is pretty high up there in the rankings. Anyway,Monday Night Combat— it’s a damned fine piece of interactive entertainment. Consider playing it if you haven’t yet had the chance to do so. Specifically, consider playing it tonight, with your loving Dtoid family. I’m calling dibs on Support right here and now....

We here at Destructoid are huge advocates of playing games on the toilet. The Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable have revolutionized the fine Art of S**t Taking, replacing magazines and newspapers as the entertainment of choice after a particularly hearty meal. Hey, it beats reading the usage instructions on a shampoo bottle over and over again, right? (Don’t act like you’ve never done it.) GameDaily’s Chris Buffa has compiled a decent (and helpful) list, entitled “Games to Play on the Toilet....

We goingobscureon this bitch — this week’s forgotten game is an SNES port of an arcade platformer, and it’s a shallow mishmash of a few different gaming genres that turns out to bedecentlyentertaining. Joe & Macis a little bitContra, a little bitMario, and a little bitStreet Fighter. It also holds a special place in my heart, as it was one of the first games I ever owned for my Super Nintendo, and (unfortunately) the first game I ever sold to anyone....

I boughtThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3Ddespite not yet owning a 3DS. I just wanted that soundtrack so badly. Does that make me a whore? I think that makes me a whore. Anyway, here’s another video to satisfy your Zelda cravings. GameTrailers’ Pop-Fiction series discusses some of the most popular gaming rumors and puts ’em to the test,MythBustersstyle. In the latest episode, they tackle the long-standing myth that the Triforce is obtainable inOcarina of Time....

[Publisher’s note: Destructoid was founded on May 22, 2025. Also, it’s Niero’s bday. Go Kratos! ] We know thatGod of War IIIis releasing in Japan on March 25, but what about North America and Europe? So far, lips have been tight, but US retailer GameStop has starting listing the game for March 16. Sony, of course, won’t confirm or deny anything, because publishers like to pretend that nothing has happened until their press releases say so....

Since today’sGuitar Hero: Van Halen“Reveal” trailer from Neversoft doesn’t show any actual gameplay footage, I am not entirely sure what’s being revealed to us. Slightly creepy renders of Van Halen’s members? I guess that could be it. I think the most exciting part of the video, at least for me personally, was when I saw “including Queens of the Stone Age” pop up and and my eyes suddenly widened. There are a handful of songs from Van Halen I can get behind, but an entire game devoted to the band?...

Listen up nerds, it’s time to take off your robes and wizard hats for a second ‘cause there’s a new game in town, and it answers to the name ofBattle vs. Chess. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering amidst a friendly game of chess, “How can I make this experience less interactive?” then look no further, because Gaijin Entertainment has developed a new game for chess and battle lovers alike. If you consider yourself a chess buff, then this might just be the most fun you may have in your underwear....
