A tax on videogames wouldcombat knife crime in UK, claims a government advisor who lost his own son to inner city youth crime. According to the rather outrageous suggestion, videogames are “too cheap” and this makes it easy for children to buy them, which in turn causes them to become violent psychopaths. Typical logic from a man thinking with his heart and not his brain. “I have young people who I mentor and I see them go up and buy the games and it saddens me that they are being able to have such a negative impact,” claims Richard Taylor, who personally advices Gordon Brown on knife crime issues....

Moar Frank West! Ever since he wasconfirmedforTatsunoko Vs Capcom, I can’t get enough of seeing this guy in action. Hopefully you may’t either, because I’m about to show you some more regardless. Capcom’s community manager,Seth Killian, sat down withGamespotat TGS to give us all a first-hand look at the mightyDead Risingstar in action. As you may know, Mr. Killian is himself mighty when it comes to fightans, so if someone’s going to show us how to use a new character, this is the guy to do it....

Here’s a new trailer forDeus Ex: Human Revolution. You’ve seen a lot of the footage before, but there’s bound to be some new crap buried in there somewhere under all the Moonspeak. Anyway, I won’t waste any more of your time when you could be watching the trailer, so do that! Human Revolutionis out in February 2011 for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

One good reason to go to Burning Man is to see wild stuff like the robot mech above. Probably doesn’t out-weight the smell though.

After a hiatus that went on much longer than planned, I am very happy to announce thatThe Memory Cardis back for its fifth season! For anyone reading this that is not familiar with this feature, The Memory Card is a long-running series that dissects and honors some of the most artistic, innovative, and memorable videogame moments of all time. To start off this new season, I decided to focus on a videogame moment that holds a very special place in my heart....

During PAX this past year, Eric Maruscak made this amazingBig Daddy chalk muralover by the big room where everyone had to line up to get into concerts and stuff. I almost completely missed the thing because I’m press and don’t have to wait for sh*t. When I did see it though, I was pretty blown away. Well now that amazing mural has been turned into a wallpaper available for all over atThe Cult of Rapture....

Trapped in a maze of streets on Stone Fish Island, the heroes find a Guardian tethered by Kronis’ magic. How will the trio evade the evil winged lion and release the Guardian?. The amount of tangents inthis episodeborders on the ludicrous. Still, if you’re a fan of the show, you probably won’t mind, as there is plenty of the usual vulgarity and insults from thel crew. Highlights include: For God’s sake, why don’t you download the show or listen to it via iTunes?...

This week’s episode is a MYSTERY EPISODE! The mystery stems from the fact that we recorded it last week, and now I’ve forgotten everything we talked about. I could listen to it again and find out, but I really can’t be bothered. We had a number of annoying issues in getting this posted, so I apologize for the lateness. I’m pretty sure we talk about survival horror, and Lauren goes on some insane rant about British people....

Destructoid’s fortnightly Eurocentric podcast,The Podcastle, has returned for another installment. Your regular trio of Jim Sterling, Atheistium and Wardrox discuss whyCall of Duty 4is better thanHalo 3, eat delicious curry and generally swear and shout, because swearing and shouting is funny. Our main feature (which is boring) is the discussion of European delays, which mainly means we’ll be screaming at Nintendo for taking eight million years to release a game after the American release....

I’ve been fascinated with Deep Silver and Daedalic’sThe Whispered Worldhas looked from the very beginning, and it seems perhaps the rest of the world is equally as thrilled — the game has garnered six nominations at the prestigious German Game Developer Award 2009, including Best Game Design, Best Graphics, Best Youth Game, Best Story and Best Soundtrack, not to mention Best German Game of the Year. Nice! The awards take place December 9 at Lichtburg in Essen, Germany, so let’s hope the game sweeps them....

Duuuuuuude. Sweeeeeeeet. I want to say something more insightful about this completely amazingNinja Gaidenpapercraft, but I have neither the patience, time or manual dextirity to actually do any papercraft of my own and thus only know that this looks really awesome and have a vague idea that it was probably really difficult to make. Thus, all I can muster is to stare in astonishment and referenceDude, Where’s My Car. Our fine brethren over atTomopopdiscovered this gem atGamOvr, a site that I was very dissapointed to discover did not remove the vowels from all posts the they write because it’s an awesome image site....
