We got a load ofFezback around this time last year, whenChad got a gander at itat San Francisco’s Game Developers Convention. Fans that have kept up with the pretty little title may notice the interesting little teaser seen above posted on thePolytron Corporation website. The title of the post is “Something awesome this way comes” and it features a smattering of Engrish and a green A button to continue. What could this mean?...
What the heck isRIZ-ZOAWD? If you’re like me and rely on Destructoid for most of your gaming news, then you may have never heard of it, as it appears we’ve never mentioned it. Those of you who have quick minds that can decipher anagrams with added hyphens (or those of you who have simply looked at the image above) will have already figured out thatRIZ-ZOAWDis an RPG based off of L....

Doing so will allow you to keep a few extra dollars in hand as you wait for the game to unlock on November 24. Now it’s obviousSerious Sam HDis a mighty step up in the visuals department, but I didn’t truly appreciate the work that’s been done untilDevolver Digitallinked to this super oldSerious Samannouncement videocreated by Croteam....
Tonight’s Woot shirt is a sad story of 8-bit heartbreak. Love is a battlefield, but it’s worth the scars even in the face of pew pew pew destruction. Love is all about going beyond the impossible and kicking reason to the curb! Also, love is all about 80s love songs apparently. I never noticed that Woot has some super crazy descriptions for their products: You probably think of us as naked babies flying around on flouncy little angel wings, pulling back the strings on our bows and gently lofting arrows with heart-shaped arrowheads....
Without a doubt, the upcoming PlayStation Network titleLittleBigPlanetwas my most-wanted game to play at Sony’s Gamers Day event. Sincefirst seeingit along with everyone else at GDC, the game has been stuck in my mind ever since as one of the key games to make the PlayStation 3 so worthwhile. Well, it was a bit of good news and bad news in San Diego. While it was great that I finally was able to test out the controls onLittleBigPlanet, it really sucked that all we got to test out was the same playable demo shown at GDC — and we weren’t even allowed to mess with the on-the-fly customization tools!...
Putting rest toinformed theoriesthat they were scared of getting a right royalterroristing, Sony has claimed that the notoriousLittleBigPlanetdelay wasout of respect. The long-awaited PS3 exclusive was recalled after one of the backing tracks was discovered to contain words from the Qur’an, and released this week. Sony Computer Entertainment UK managing director Ray Maguire explained the recall, claiming it was the “right move” before admitting it was “disruptive in terms of marketing plans and getting things sorted....
Recently, Square Enix decided to drop the first item in theirFinal Fantasy XIPlayer’s Collection. It’s a pendant with the price tag of $42.99, complete with silver-plated metal and synthetic leather. To their credit, Square Enix realizes that regular consumers are not willing to buy expensive and ugly items for no reason. So instead of just allowing the pendant to speak for itself, the company is offering an in-game bonus for consumers....
OK, not really. But check out this AWESOME video of a scene from the movieCity Hunter, put up atvideogameblogger. I guarantee laughs and excitement. Starring Jackie Chan, Ken, Guile, E. Honda, Dhalsim and CHUN-LI. And Jackie Chan as Chun-Li, at that.What’s sad is that this is infinitely better than the horrendous 1994 flick.
Turbois a low budget student film set around a futuristic fighting game calledSuper Turbo Arena… or modern day fighting game thanks to Natal. We brought upTurboback when it was first revealed and now the movie is available for you to check out after the break. The plot revolves around a tournament searching for some of the best players that play the futuristic fighting game. What’s really going to grab your attention is the stellar special effects work....
This rules for three reasons — 1) I get to playTatsunoko Vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Starsthree days earlier than planned, 2) I don’t have to worry about immediately dividing my attention betweenTatsunoko Vs CapcomandNo More Heroes 2, and 3) I’m going to score a perfect on Seth Killian with my Viewtiful Joe/Batsu team. OK, maybe that last one isn’t really going to happen, but I’ll at least get to try my chance at it....
I’m still struggling to believe an episodicJurassic Parkseriesby Telltale is on the way — it’s far too cool a concept to be real, isn’t it? Details have been few and far between, but thanks to Joystiq, we have some new info to go on. I want to believe! “We’ve wanted to kind of step out and do something that’s cinematically much more serious than the kind of …. you know, we feel like we’re getting pigeonholed a little bit as a company that makes funny cartoon games about talking animals,” explains design director Dave Grossman....
Here’s the trailer Capcom used to reveal the upcoming Kinect-enabledSteel Battalion: Heavy Armor. That’s right, the game utilizes zero buttons, which is about 40 fewer than the original game that shipped with a massive controller you needed an actual pilots license to use. Heavy Armoris being developed in conjunction withArmored Corestudio, From Software. Do you think it can work without the massive controller gimmick?
Yep, the box art forBioShock 2sure does look similar in style and substance to the first ga–whoa. Now wait just a minute! What … what is that? Look to the left of the Little Sister’s head! What is that thing? After asking around the office, here’s what we were able to establish as possibilities: What do you make of this, Destructoid community? [Update: I do believe AngelsDontBurn has cracked the case....
