[The fifth in a ragged series of ‘Alex Handy Sez’ missives, in which the former Game Developer editor and current Gamasutra contributor riffs on something or other, focuses on the just-concluded California Extreme retro arcade show.]
Yesterday, Travis and I went to California Extreme 2007, a celebration of arcade and pinball games. Hundreds of them, […]

If there’s one thing that’s typified this generation so far, it’s a huggy, snuggly sense of bringing everyone together in warm, soft-focused harmony and togetherness. Whether it’s Nintendo uniting all of your relatives in the fun of videogames and the shared joy of dealing with Granny’s Wii-induced popped hip as a family, Microsoft getting the […]

Yes, I myself would have to say I would like my own Jessica Chobot. However, since it’s highly unlikely that I can steal the real thing and hide her away at my house, I may have to settle for the next best thing.

You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised video game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. Some of this week’s puzzles are harder than usual, and it’s also one of the most broad […]

Free downloadable BioShock artbook: Breaking the Mold

Some of you may remember, many moons ago, that 2K asked the fans what they wanted out of a BioShock collector’s edition. The contents of the special box set that we can look forward to at the end of the month was voted on by we humble gamers, but one thing that didn’t make the […]

Heavenly Sword Part II: The Guardian of the Sword
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The latest installment of the animated Heavenly Sword shorts has hit the net today. This second short, entitled "Guardian of the Sword," delves deeper in the mythos and history of the "heavely sword" itself. Apparently, it consumes the souls of men, driving them mad with bloodlust.

I know, I know — this might be old news. But if we fired up the Wii Shop Channel around here once in awhile, we might have noticed this earlier. It’s a good thing Destructoid community member Amethystine is paying attention.

You are not alone: Doctor Who game definitely coming
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The earlier story revealing that the BBC wasn’t planning on producing a proper Doctor Who game was false — it appears the particular BBC employee interviewed for that story was out of the loop and literally didn’t know what the hell he or she was talking about.
Eurogamer reports that UK developer Ironstone Partners is indeed […]
