Telltale Games has been showing a lot of love to the PlayStation 3 lately, with its releases ofBack to the Futureand recentlyPuzzle Agenton Sony’s platform. Where’s the Xbox 360 love? Don’t worry, it’s coming. The publisher/developer has announced that it’s signed a publishing agreement to put its games on the Xbox 360 console. “Adding console support to our acknowledged expertise in digital downloads is another positive step in our long-term growth strategy,” said Telltale co-founder and CEO, Dan Connors in a press release today....

It’s no secret that we loveBayonettahere at Destructoid. It has a ton of over-the-top action, a sexy main heroine and the main hero has shoes that are guns. That’s a combination of extreme awesome in our books. We’re not sure if the preview build Sega has at TGS is new or the same thing from PAX, but we do have some new screenshots for you to check out at least. My favorite of the screens is the one above as the header for obvious reasons....

Above is thefirst glimpseofThe Behemoth‘s latest project, an as-yet unannounced game that should be revealed in full very soon. In fact, the studio is suggesting that before the date of March 18, the very first trailer will make itself known. Until then, all we have is this above image, which says very little, but is still undeniably cute. A robot in a hat looks longingly at a gem while tears fall from his eyes....

I don’t know what it is about video game movies and bad directors. They kind of go together like bad jokes andFull House – Season 3. One of the biggest offenders of bad directing, Paul W.S. Anderson (not to be confused with actual good directorPaul Thomas Anderson), has completely dropped off theCastlevaniamovie, according toDread Central. Anderson was pegged to write and direct the film, which made a lot ofCastlevaniafans (myself included) cry like a little girl....

The latest Sound Card was unleashed by Dale North today and showcased the top ten most obnoxious game songs. Some of the song choices are ones you’re able to just love to hate like theSega Rally“Game Over” song. I can listen to this “song” until the end of time and still laugh at it every time. The feature did make me a little sad though, as I rememberDaytona USA’s“Let’s go Away” to be an amazing song....

Western fantasy role-playing games have moved in different directions over the years. You have the European type of games likeTwo Worlds II, theGothicseries, and the originalThe Witcher. Games that tend to expect a lot of patience from the player while giving you a huge amount of things to do in an open, yet usually (or initially) buggy world. Then you have games likeDragon Age IIthat streamline the more hardcore elements to provide a more polished experience, but at the same time restrict your freedom in terms of customizability and things like crafting....

It’s not just console games that get extravagant collector’s editions.The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracksis hurtling ever closer to its December 7 release date, and a special editionhas been revealedfor Hyrule fans to lap up. The collector’s edition comes in the obligatory tin case, which contains a regular boxed copy of the game. Also packed in with the game are two little figurines of Link and a Phantom. So far, we know that GameStation in the UK is selling them, although details on where anyone else can get hold of one seem to be thin on the ground as of right now....

PuzzlerWorld of Goois coming to the iPhone. It was just submitted to Apple for review.Gameprosays that it’s coming soon, and that it will launch at $0.99 at first. The price will jump to $2.99 24 hours later. Either way it’s going to be a great thing to have Goo on the iPhone. There’s good news for games that already own the iPad version:World of Goowill be a Universal App, which means that you’ll be able to re-download the title for your iPhone for free....

Can somebody, somewhere please admit that releasing multiple console SKUs is a set up for disaster? Haven’t we learned by now that confusing customers and/or insulting their intelligence by offering sloppy, under-equipped packages is a bad idea? I guess not: adding to the multiple SKU confusion (which shall hereby be known as “conSKUsion”) is Best Buy, who has nowadded a new listingfor an “Xbox 360 Core System w/ HDMI.” Between the nine or 23 other rumored SKUs, purchasing an Xbox 360 this holiday should be like a scavenger hunt....

I’m not going to pretend like the look of Ubisoft’s DS title,Prince of Persia: The Fallen King, is growing on me. Because it’s not; I’m not entirely OK with the cute, cartoony look of the game. With that said, word on the street from those who have seen the game in action is that the title is actually pretty solid. I’m willing to give Ubisoft the benefit of the doubt; at least they didn’t try to cram a fully-3D port of their next-gen title on to Nintendo’s handheld....

What’stokusatsu, you ask? Well, it’s a Japanese word that roughly translates to “special effects”, referring to live action films with superheroes.Kamen Rider fans already know this all too well, but for those of you that don’t, there’s a bit of trivia! D3 has a game coming out for Wii and DS based on the currently airing Saturday morning showKamen Rider: Dragon Knight, and at a glance I’d say it classifies as a kids game....

Since my first two notices about this particular contest (seehereandhere) seem to have done very little in the way of motivating Dtoiders to give it the old college try, I’m going to make some changes to the game in order to facilitate you (yes, you) entering. As of tonight, I am getting rid of two of the more rigorous requirements: the photo you submitno longer has to be taken at a tennis court, and you canuse whatever the bloody hell you want(besides a tennis racket) to try and whack your tennis ball....
