The DS has seen a huge rise, recently, in the number of RPGs in development for the system. It all started with the release ofFinal Fantasy III, which, judging by reviews of the game, has turned out to be a spectacular re-make of a classic, however;not without its flaws. Square Enix didn’t stop there, however. Next up on their list wereFinal Fantasy XII: Revenant WingsandFinal Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates,both for the DS, both also sequels to existingFinal Fantasystorylines....

While I personally like the “pick and choose” concept of downlodable content forRock Band, not everyone has an Internet connection. And not every console that Rock Band has found its home on supports DLC. Harmonix and MTV Games have already released two other physical disc bundles DLC tracks, but there’s one more on the way according to anESRB listing—Rock Band Track Pack: Classic Rock. As expected the disc will feature classic rock songs including Steve Miller Bands “Take the Money and Run” and “The Joker,” and The Dead Kennedy’s “Holiday in Cambodia....

During a good portion of the twelve-some-odd-hour plane ride to Tokyo, I playedLumines IIon my PlayStation Portable. So what’s the first thing I actually did when they let the crowds of hungry press on to the Tokyo Game Show floor? I was sure to check outLumines Supernova, the upcoming PlayStation Network version of Q Entertainment’s popular puzzler. I’ve been playingLuminesfor awhile on a variety of platforms: PSP, PlayStation 2, Xbox LIVE Arcade, PC, and the mobile phone....

It’s been a looooong time coming, butGran Turismois finally, finally getting car damage in the game. It was absent fromGT5: Prologue, but it’s here now. This was confirmed a while back at GamesCon I believe, but not much was seen and details were scarce. Above you’ll see IGN’s video of car damage from TGS. The guys over there alsoconfirmedthat damage will be possible on every car in the game, though street cars may be limited in the amount of damage that can be done to them (no parts flying off, etc....

This beautiful Cosplayer you see here is Jenni Källberg and among being anamazing artist(oh yeah, Art Attack Friday on her coming up), she’s also anamazing Cosplayer. She’s dressed up as several characters includingLeeloo Dallas,Motoko Kusanagi,Ayame fromTenchuand a whole bunch of other anime and videogame characters.

So you know how everyone keeps assuming thatModern Warfare 2is going to get a public beta? Well, it’s definitely, probably, maybe not ever going to happen,according to Infinity Ward‘s Robert Bowling. “We’ll do an internal beta, if we feel a public one is needed, we’ll explore that route as well.” “We would never say something as definitive as ‘No Beta Ever!’,” says Mr. Bowling. For the time being, unless you work at Activision or IW itself, no dice — you’ll have to wait until November 10 like the rest of us lowly scum to play someCall of Duty....

Throw all the Lamborghinis and Porsches at me you’re able to muster, and I still won’t flinch in this belief: the Ecto-1 is the coolest car on the planet. It’s janky yet jovial, sports my favorite color scheme, and doubles for the storage of the not-quite undead. Looks will never outweight functionality, at least not for this wry four-wheeler. The Ecto-1 will tour to promote the upcoming Sierra titleGhostbusters: The Video Gameand will hit several prime locations, including the Penny Arcade Expo this August ( I fully expect a Destructoid group shot around the vehicle by the time the weekend has wound to a close)....

Silent Hill 2 What is the scariest moment in videogame history? Actually, scratch that — what is thecreepiestmoment in videogame history? If someone asked me the scariest moment, I would immediately answer when thedamned zombie dog jumps through the windowin the originalResident Evil. That moment makes me jump every single time. But thecreepiest? That’s a tougher question. While there are many moments — especially in current games — that make my hairs stand on end just thinking about them, one in particular almost terrifies me more than any horror movie I have ever seen....

Another story related to a Blizzard game where a time far off from the present is discussed? Uh huh. The two themes have become so intertwined with one another that it isn’t even disappointing to hear anymore; it’s simply the norm. TheStarCraft IIbeta, which we foolishly expected to go public this year, has been shoved into 2010. This news was confirmed by producer Chris Sigatyat a Russianvideogame expo called IgroMir. I didn’t know such a convention existed, but with a name like that, I’ll be sure to never forget....

I’ve always been torn regardingRock BandDLC songs. On one hand, I’m a poor college student — so every time I say, “Well, I won’t be giving Harmonix any of my money this week,” my perpetually thin wallet thanks me. However, the flip side is that I so desperately want to pay for new songs. I bought the ten-dollar six-pack of Boston songs without hesitation, and I’m chomping at the bit for more content....

Remember this cool “leaked” video from a couple of days ago?No one knew for sure it it was forDead Rising 2or now. I felt bad for tricking you allbefore, so we played it safe and said it might be fake. Or not. We seriously had no idea.A lot of you called it “real” in our comments section. Guess what? It was real! Compare the leaked video to the officialDead Rising 2promotional trailer we have here, direct from Capcom themselves....
