Over at sister cellphone gaming site GamesOnDeck, the folks at Canadian mobile developer Capybara Games have conducted a suitably irreverent postmortem of Pillowfight, the possibly ironic game which apparently started from a one-sentence quip: “Here’s an amazing idea: Let’s make a pillow fighting game starring total babes!”

I can't believe I'm saying this, but come this August, Japanese gamers will be receiving an updated, more difficult version of Ultimate Ghouls N' Ghosts for the Sony PSP. Anyone who's had the fortune (or misfortune) to have played the game is probably wondering … how on Earth […]

Kick around kensei this fall in Kengo: Legend of the 9 for the Xbox 360

Let's face it — samurai are pretty sweet. Not quite as sweet as ninja, but I'd never say this to a samurai's face, as (much like ninja) one wouldn't hesitate to kill me in an instant. Still, I have a tendency to shoot off at the mouth after a few Red Bull and vodkas, so […]

Remember a while back when I brought you all the heartwarming story of Blizzard's good deeds toward a young World of Warcraft fan whose HP was being sapped by cancer? It gets better!

The drought is ov… Oh screw it, Gamecock publishing for Wii and DS
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Destructoid has been keeping a hopeful eye on new publisher Gamecock ever since our own Mr. D bonded with their giant chicken over a brief moment of shared violence at CES. While the ensuing moment of robot-on-fowl aggression was a confrontation of Godzilla vs. Mothra proportions which shook Vegas to its very core, both […]

Are Sony’s chances fading? Or is this the calm before the PS3 storm?
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Alright, many of you that frequent this website may have noticed my usually pro-Wii posts. I honestly believe that Sony and Microsoft evening the playing field eventually would be the best case scenario. That will only create better games for all. But when will the field be even? Will it even

Scheduled Destructoid maintenance tonight: we’re gonna break stuff
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Funny how a year can change our perception of what Destructoid should be, how it should work, and what it should ultimately become. It's been a wild ride so far. I have to say, I can't tell you how happy I am that I received an invite to this year's E3. TWICE. Not bad for […]

A very small portion of the internet recently bubbled at the thought of Capcom's demented and abstract piece of videogame surrealism, Killer 7, being remade for the Nintendo Wii. A Wii version of Suda 51's schizophrenic poster paint nightmare would have made for perhaps a more useful move than Capcom's decision to resurrect Resident Evil […]
