Siliconerasays that the demo lets yo use seven characters in the Forest of Mystery dungeon. Oh, and it lets you see what HD will do to a game. I peeked at it at TGS and it sure was pretty. Also, this is an opportunity to check out the new accel mode system. It’s free. You’re bored. What do you have to lose other than hard drive space?
Game: It’s so energetic. That’s the theme of the 2009 Tokyo Game Show. Terrible, isn’t it. It sounds fake, much like the fake energy you have to muster up when finally getting to the show from the long commute from Tokyo. Of course, enthusiasm comes flooding back once you actually get there, but you have to get there first, and that’s the bitch. We thought we’d give you a look at what it looks like to make your way up to Makuhari Messe for TGS early in the morning, before sh*t gets crazy....
I know a lot of you think that you don’t like on-rails shooters, but it may be time for you to reconsider that generalization. Console on-rails shooters are really kicking ass of late. Gone are the arcade-style, quarter munching, poorly paced, shallow two hour on-rails blow outs of old, replaced with full length, well-thought out, deliberately paced, POV horror movie-style thrill rides of a new generation. Would I be happier ifRE:The Darkside Chroniclesjumped off the rails and played more likeRE4?...
The newChronicles of Riddickgame is going to be so good. I can’t wait to try out the multiplayer mode where it’s Riddick versus everyone.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zerohas a lot of fun (and funny) weapons, but there’s no topping the moose head, in my mind. The electric rake and dual-chainsaw paddle thing tie for second place. We learned about the supposedly magical new Xbox 360 controller, heard the release dates for a lot of great Xbox LIVE Arcade titles, talked about a certain puffball who is made of string, had a triple-attack of reviews, and some other stuff happened on 8/31/10....
As most of my Destructoid compatriots know, I await RPGs with intriguing storylines more than any other type of game. I enjoy nothing more than to sink myself into a rich plot, get to know the characters, and most of all, experience some form of emotional fulfillment at the end of the story for the work I’ve put into playing it. To my surprise, the last few I have looked forward to I’ve gotten fifty to sixty hours into and then simply never picked up again....
This week, Destructoid is exclusively revealing the formidable cast of enemies that you’ll encounter inF.E.A.R 3. This horror-shooter sequel pits players against two distinct and deadly forces — the high-tech soldiers of the Armacham Military and the twisted freaks of the Alma Multiverse. Today, we’re taking a look at the Military forces. They range from your standard army boys to your more deadly assassins and snipers. While they represent a more “traditional” videogame enemy, they’re no less dangerous for it....

PS3, the most powerful console on the market? It might be. Apparently, that isn’t enough to make gamers buy them and keep them. According toTech.Blorge, a lot more people are trying to trade their PS3’s for Wii’s than Sony might like to think. This would be less humiliating were the PS3 not the rarer of the two consoles, but considering Sony’s behemoth was the scarcer of the two, it’s a little like your boss finding those naked pictures you took with his daughter during the Christmas party last year....
Whoops! I passed out before I could get this post up last night. Anyway, the weekend was a little slow as everyone was pretty much catching up on some much needed rest after the crazyness that was E3 last week. Highlights from the weekend include Brad N’s exclusiveAlan Waketeaser trailer,de Blogis de bomb, new screens forDead Rising: Zombie Sacrificewere posted and a rather awesome Weekend Destructainment went up, which included the above embarrassingGuitar Hero IVpresentation from E3....
In February of 2007, I wrote a story entitled “Bioshockcoming to the PS3? No. Maybe. Probably. Yes!“. Within hours, we were contacted by 2K Games who answered that question with a firm “no.” But rumors continued to persist, and in November 2007,Jim Sterling reportedthat an official moderator on the 2K forums said “There will be no PS3 version ofBioShock. It has been explained time and time again.” And that was that....
Today’s gaming setup belongs to GrumpyTurtle. He has an nice collection of new and old school stuff, boxes for most of his retro games and a really cheesy, but cute, picture on his wall that says “Home is where the [controller] is.” Grumpy also has one of the best controller storage solution I’ve seen yet. Check out more pictures of Grumpy’s setup overon his Community blog. mistic recapped the last EuroNARP, the Dtoid CEO is lazy, Chad needs your help, Zoel wants to make a game based on Dtoiders, the unofficial episode of Podtoid 100 is available, flaming burrito made a Dtoid themed fight stick and plenty more happened this past week within the Community....
