There are few things in this world that will make me reach for my wallet faster than rare Capcom merchandise. Unfortunately, the wonderful niblets of awesome you’ll see in the gallery below are for the company’s sales booth at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, which I am not attending. Maybe Dale will bring me back one. Among the fine wares the company is bringing along this year are the aforementioned dope-ass cat hoody (I have decided that should be its official name), and plenty of otherMonster Huntergoodies....

I never likedStar Trek, but I do remember seeing at least oneStar Trekfilm awhile back. Near the end of that one, I remember seeing one character play some classic rock from some kind of miniature storage media. I also remember being totally amazed by the thought, hoping we’d see something like that in the future. Well, the future is now… for JapaneseClub Nintendomembers. The bastards that geteverything coolalso get this SD card packed with musical goodness....

Due the flood of emails we’ve received with questions about how to participate in this contest, we’ve decided to simply it. Ok, here’s the deal — Destructoid scored some coolIdeazongaming accessories (pictured in the gallery below) and we are giving them all away to 3 silly people. These are from the same people that made the Wow Burning Crusade Zboard you might have seen in our CES 07 coverage. How to pry these from our cold dead robot hands (rules)...

The first time I cruised down Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard, I was driving a blue rental mini-van we were using to cart around the Destructoid staff at last week’s E3. Guided by GPS, I made my way to the Chateau Marmont for a little meeting with the folks from Rockstar Games. I passed a number of street lights, a 7-11, a Tower Records, and finally the Hollywood sushi hot spot Miyagi’s before arriving at my destination....

If this latest trailer for Ignition Entertainment’sDeadly Premonitionis anything to go by, the upcoming horror-action game exclusive to Xbox 360 is destined to be a cult classic. The other possible outcome could be something along the lines of a Syfy Original, except with much better visuals. This game’s low-fi graphics are more impressive than any of the CGI found in those so-bad-they’re-good movies; the same could be said of most Atari 7800 games....

The firstDementiumwas everything I wanted in a portable horror game with one exception: dying meant having to restart the level, and after dozens of tries I would get sick of getting stuck and end up having to take a break from playing for a while. I have a feelingDementium 2will likely improve on this formula, and considering the blood-drenched state of these new gameplay photos, I’m pretty much 100 percent in for playing the sequel....

It’s felt like a long time coming, and the hype has been extraordinary considering the platform, butCastle Crashersfinally hit Xbox Live Arcade and has made a huge splash with gamers the world over. Hailing from the minds of Tom Fulp and Dan Paladin of The Behemoth,Castle Crashershas been highly anticipated for its sense of humor, retro sensibilities and the fact that The Behemoth’s last major game,Alien Hominid, is a well-loved example of hardcore gaming at its hardest....

Years ago I was convinced thatPunch-Out!was a dead concept. I believed that over-the-top cartoon boxing was never to be revived in this generation. Naturally, I was surprised when I first read about EA Canada’sFacebreaker. As the surprise wore off and I read more about the title I started anticipating a joyous experience. And that anticipation was stripped immediately upon fighting my first match inFacebreaker. Instead of giving away all the juicy details before the page break, I’d rather busy myself talking about something good – blueberry pie....

Fluid Pixel’sKamiCrazyis the story of shipwrecked soldiers, lost in a dangerous jungle. Their only goal is to leave this place, despite its lush surroundings. On the epic journey home, the commander sleeps with one of the major tribesman’s daughters without his permission. The payment required for such a grievous insult is instant-death and ‘zombification’ of all his men. How are the undead (and flesh-eating) KamiCrazy soldiers to get home without their fearless commander?...

What the hell? That is the predominant sentiment that one takes away from a session withLux-Pain. What the hell is this? What the hell is supposed to be happening? What the hell am I doing with my life? All these questions are valid when “playing” this “game.” Perhaps one of the most bizarre choices for localization I’ve seen in a long time, the very existence ofLux-Painin the West seems incredibly confusing....

Being as it’s so early in the morning (and I’ve barely made it through my first cup of coffee), I don’t appreciate Disney Interactive Studios expecting me to think fast. Wait, make thatTH!NKFast,a game show-style trivia game just announced this morning for the Wii and the PlayStation 2. Skewed towards the kiddies (or Disney die-hards),TH!NK Fastwill feature over 5,000 questions on topics like Disney-related trivia and general knowledge (“At what time is it too early to expect someone to think fast?...

Doomhas long been available for download on 360 consoles.On the floor at Quakecon, people have been seeing that the classic game’s sequel is going to receive similar treatment. id hasn’t made the official announcement as of the time of this writing, but it looks to only be a matter of time beforeDoom IIhits the Live Arcade service. People who purchase the game on XBLA will be getting an entirely new episode to play and there will be four-player splitscreen play in addition to an online multiplayer component....

Dynasty Warriors Strikeforcewill be available to all indemo formtomorrow, which is exciting news for at least five readers, including myself. The demo will support the game’s focus on four-player co-op, so if you’re somehow freaky enough to own a PSP, likeDynasty Warriors,andsomehow know three other people in the same situation, then you’ll certainly have something to do on Thursday. I’m really interested in the game, and love how Koei has tried to seriously change up the series....
