At this year’s E3 Nintendo completely and utterly ignoredSin and Punishment 2. The game wasn’t mentioned at their press conference and was tucked away so well at their booth that you literally had to be coming at the booth from a certain direction to notice it. The PR guy who took me around the booth didn’t even mention that it was there. Who knows what was up since most people came away from the game with avery positive view....
If youknow your anime, you know the name Haruhi Suzumiya (and if you don’t, the series that features her,The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya, is a very popular series.) A PSP and aPS2 gamecame out last year in Japan based on the series, but America has yet to see any such thing (and likely won’t, which is what importing is for.) Speaking of importing, you’ll have to do that if you want to check out this year’s game anout Haruhi, which is a Wii game and apparently focuses on dancing....
Art Attack Friday is your weekly look at videogame fan art created by a talented artist. Art Attack Friday is all captainosaka today. Usually I’d wait until the artist pumps out more videogame related art, but I’ve been waiting to feature captainosaka for a long time now. There’s only five pieces in the gallery from him, but they’re all pretty amazing. Plus theSuper Smash Bros. Brawlone could totally be like three images, man!...
Greetings! I am Chris Furniss fromThe Weekly Geek podcast, here to bring you a brand new feature aptly named: “Ask The Weekly Geek”. Why should you ask me anything, let alone believe anything I say? Because I am known to have an encyclopedic knowledge of things Geek, and it is clogging up my brain tubes. I must eject some of this knowledge or else my head will explode. Help my head not explode!...
Pre-orderingBattlefield 3means you get free access to theBack to Karkand pack, a collection of four multiplayer maps reimagined for this new installment. Wake Island has got to be one of the series’ more iconic maps, wouldn’t you say? Depending on how well the implementation matches this concept art, it could be quite the haunting battleground. Battlefield 3 Wake Island concept art is epic[PC Gamer]
Overlord IIis, you guessed it, a sequel to the originalOverlord. This time you’ll be playing as a new Overlord and take control of a stronger army of Minions. The Overlord must destroy the Glorious Empire as it’s taking over kingdoms and destroying all magic across the lands.As you play through the game, you may either be a jerk or an asshole. Play as a jerk and you can take over villages that will earn you rewards over time....
I’m old-fashioned. I believe a developer needs to have a solid plan — or strategy — for downloadable content support that consistently gives players fresh and innovative content over a period of time. BioWare, surprisingly, hasn’t been a studio committed to delivering good or consistent DLC. That may change withDragon Age: Origins. Greg Zeschuk, BioWare’s vice president, recently toldMTV Multiplayerthat BioWare are planning to have up two years worth of DLC forOrigins....
Whenever I thinkStar Warsbounty hunters, images of Boba Fett immediately float into view. His wicked Mandalorian threads, hardcore pursuit skills, careful disregard of life, and seasoned body made him one of the most fearsome bounty hunters in the galaxy during the time of the original trilogy. BioWare, apparently, won’t be trying to shake Fett’s image with their Bounty Hunter class in the MMOStar Wars: The Old Republic. Yesterday, BioWare formally revealed the class addition onthe game’s official Web site....
Day-one downloadable content is an oft-talked about topic. It’s simultaneously great, especially when free, but a pain since console hard drive sizes aren’t where they need to be. Yet one part of the discussion rarely seems to get brought up:whydevelopers don’t just slap that content on the disc and call it a day. Talking with Ars Technica,Mass Effect 2project director Casey Hudson explained — in easy-to-understand terms — the reasoning behind this choice....
Nolan Bushnell is obviously a pretty important guy in the history of gaming, and recently he spoke at SEIGE 2010 where he discussed the future of gaming andthe fact thatAtari was going to start blowing us away in the next six months. Where is gaming going? Towards platforms like the Android, iPhone and iPad; so much so thatBushnell says that“No one over the age of 8 will be playing with their DS....
Those of you pumped forSuper Street Fighter Turbo HD Remix,here’s a treat for you. First of all, we have a gallery of new screens and artwork, which includes concept images of Sagat, Fei Long and Akuma. That’s good. What’s even better is theepictrailer shown above. You’ll see why it’s awesome in a second, because I don’t want to spoil it. Got to love that Capcom humor.
It’s no secret that Destructoid seems to attracttalented artistsfrom all walks of life. Still, it’s always exciting seeing the art you guys and gals put out over on the Community blogs and Forums.Forza 3released not too long ago and players can pimp out their rides with custom created artwork. Dtoidersexodus1925,Jon BandOcified-Xboxerall had the same idea and designed some Dtoid themed cars inForza 3which can get for yourself from their storefronts. Who else has created some custom art forForza 3?...
Following in the footsteps ofGnox the mercenary, Direwolf the wizard gets his own trailer for the multiplayer action RPGCrimson Alliance. He does his best to not sound like a mad, evil wizard, then totally comes across as a mad, evil wizard. If wizards aren’t your thing, you can always play as the mercenary or Moonshade the assassin, who should be getting his own trailer before long. Grab two friends to play in co-op, either locally or online....
