I have feared this day since I first saw my cohorts get sucked into the disease at the various shows we have attended. That disease is Rock Band (PS3, X360). It will suck their souls dry I’m afraid to say …
As far as the other games go, I don’t think I’ll be picking any of […]

When I look at the picture above, I see nothing more than a bunch of plastic posing as a frame for your Nintendo Wii’s Nunchuck and Wiimote. Come to think of it, the game (Link’s Crossbow Training) Nintendo decided to include with the "frame" doesn’t look to be all that sinister either.
As you might expect, […]

There’s been a general consensus among Destructoid staff and readership alike that clarification of our reviews process and metrics has been sorely needed for some time, and it’s something that I’ve been wanting to do for awhile. Our reviews have changed a lot in the last six months or so, and the occasional redefinition of […]

There’s some fun stuff in here - Tom Kim’s trip to Iceland and Todd McFarlane’s action figure world dominance plans among them:

Boobies, nerds, and leap year: The 2008 Nerdcore Calendar launch party
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
This past Friday night, Charlie, Dexter345 and I decided to brave the wild streets of Los Angeles and crash attend the 2008 Nerdcore Calendar launch party on Sunset Blvd., conveniently right down the street from my house. Going without CTZ (the proclaimed king of Nerdcore) felt like sheer and utter blasphemy, so the three of […]

Destructoid’s games of the week for 11/18/2007: Mixed messages edition!
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Guys, I’d love to spend an hour crafting a deep, engaging story about why my hair hurts this week, but honestly I’m too absorbed in Assassin’s Creed to give this whole thing much thought. One of the true joys of a gig like this is that instead of half-assing your work because you’re fictionally sick, […]

Destructoid Network: This week’s finest 11/18/07
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
On Destructoid, Colette talked about the Difficulty Arc and how it makes people want to throw their cars at their T.V.s. On Japanator, we brought you all the breaking news on the potentially catastrophic live action Dragon Ball Z movie. On the C-Blogs, Virtualgirl again makes a work of art. And on the Forums, we’re […]

Harmonix knows how to rock, puts a boombox in their bathroom
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
For a company that exudes so much rock, it was surprising to find that Harmonix’s home was an unassuming little Masachusetts office building. Smack in the middle of Cambridge’s hip and ever-growing Central Square, there’s really nothing about the building that screams "We made one of the most influential music game of all time — […]

It’s been notable that Korean-headquartered Nexon are really trying to break casual, free-to-play pay for items MMO MapleStory in the States. For starters, I’ve seen ads for the game (which was profiled very handily on sister site Worlds In Motion) on the back page of major game magazines like Game Informer in recent months.
But […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
What’s better than playing Super Mario Bros.? How about storing your peanut butter and jelly sandwich inside Mario?
Nintendo has released a bunch of Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii accessory kits that come packed in their very own lunch box. You can choose from a Mario, 2 different Princess Peach, Yoshi or Legend of Zelda: Phantom […]
