Last week we brought you some classic Zelda goodness, and much like the series itself, we’re back this week to do the whole thing over again … only … you know, newer. Tonight we’ll be covering the new stuff like Wind Waker, Minish Cap, Twilight Princess, and Phantom Hourglass, as well as those couple of […]

Destructoid interview: A pleasant lunch-time chat with the makers of Postal

I like the guys from Running With Scissors. Far from being the baby-eating, kitten-punching corrupters of children that certain quarters would paint them as, I’ve always found them to be thoroughly funny and intelligent people, passionate but down to Earth, considered but with an anarchic sense of fun, and always willing to throw a sick […]

Category: Column: GameSetVideo Treasures |

So we started up the GameSetVideo Treasures column, highlighting important historical game-related videos on the Internet Archive’s Game Videos collection, and following a look at the subsequently cancelled Ultima X, we’re back with a particularly neat upload - a new, but intentionally obscure Consolevania episode.
Now, I’m sure you guys remember Consolevania - those highly sarcastic, […]

Destructoid review: Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions

Oh god, Final Fantasy Tactics. What I knew in my youth as the Bane of Academia, the Unholy Timeslayer. It’s on a shiny new platform and has a nifty subtitle now, some additions and new job classes, but it’s the same game and even now threatens to consume us all!
Don’t you feel the pull? The […]

Not often a source of exclusives, Amazon.com nevertheless has a new trailer of Super Mario Galaxy, a game that many of us are seeking as salvation this Christmas. The above video ticks all the Wii trailer boxes — bright colors and token shots of morons waggling the controllers around having such a nice time.
On a […]

Maxconsole has a couple of videos on a new adapter that lets you use the HDMI inputs on that fancy new HDTV you’ve just purchased with your vintage, first generation HDMI-less Xbox 360.
The XCM 1080i HDMI is a disc-shaped device that connects to the first generation Xbox 360’s A/V port. The device does all the […]

The Endgame Syndrome: Why do we abandon games?

As most of my Destructoid compatriots know, I await RPGs with intriguing storylines more than any other type of game. I enjoy nothing more than to sink myself into a rich plot, get to know the characters, and most of all, experience some form of emotional fulfillment at the end of the story for the […]

I’m sure that there are plenty of Xbox 360 owners who would never even give Mistwalker’s Lost Odyssey a second thought. Even though it’s an Xbox 360 game, it’s not really an Xbox 360 game — you know what I mean? But, for every gamer that is constantly strung from one first-person shooter to the […]

Someone stuck an NES into a shoe … that’s about it, really

Sneakers and the NES, together at last! It was once such a fruitless struggle — I’d spend hours, sometimes days of my childhood cramming NES cartridges into my Thomas the Tank Engine boots, desperate to be able to play Gremlins II via my footwear. Thank Christ for whomever finally turned this sneaker into a fully […]

Steel chairs are suspiciously absent from TNA Impact! trailer

A few months back, I had a conversation with Mark Rein about Sony’s LittleBigPlanet, which immediately launched him into a calm speech about how the Unreal Engine 3.0 could do that. The Unreal Engine 3.0, he pitched, could do anything.
Well about about a wrestling game? This first gameplay trailer for TNA Impact! is one of […]
