Violence and Games: The ‘Mortal Kombat’ murder
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | 
Leave a Comment
This incident ought to drum up more rabble-rousing than the Romans cheering for a bloody crucifixion. Surely by now you’ve read the terrible news about the "Mortal Kombat" murder, in which two teens killed a 7 year old girl they were babysitting by re-enacting the fighting game and using her as a punching bag. They […]

Oh dear. When the game haters of the world hear about this one, there’s going to be a field day to rival the Romans reveling over bloody crucifixions. Apparently on December 6th, 7 year old Zoe Garcia was being watched by her older sister Heather Trujillo, 16 and her boyfriend Lamar Roberts, 17. After some […]

[Apologies for more cross-posts than normal this week - firstly, GDC (which we organize!) is rapidly coming up and neat stuff is happening there related to us, and secondly, IGF and mag/website organizing is making my hair catch on fire. Getting there, though! Take it away, Jamil…]

Pop, splat: Emergency Mayhem for the Wii paints a bleak picture of Crisis City
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Crisis City is a disater. Why anyone would want to live in this town is beyond me. Fires rage, bombs tick, hungry monkeys are on the loose. Where are the tax dollars of the citizens of Crisis City going? You’ve got to be a real piece of work to want to put up with those […]

Before I head home for the holidays to live it up with some heavily spiked eggnog (and foolin’ around with old flames under the mistletoe) I thought I’d wish every gamer out there a happy holiday farewell.
2007 has been such a grand year that I wonder how 2008 can top it. I’m talking about the […]

Fo fo fo!: Folklore getting free holiday content
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The folks behind Folklore are a giving bunch. At E3, the game’s associate producer, Eric Fong, was kind enough to lead me away from the Singstar kiosks and straight into the loving arms of an ice chest filled with Red Bull. This holiday, Eric brings more joy, announcing (on the official PlayStation blog) that a […]

GameDaily has the right idea, suggests games to play on the crapper
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
We here at Destructoid are huge advocates of playing games on the toilet. The Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable have revolutionized the fine Art of S**t Taking, replacing magazines and newspapers as the entertainment of choice after a particularly hardy meal. Hey, it beats reading the usage instructions on a shampoo bottle over and over […]

Seeing as how I am in a very lazy mood today I’m going to show you all another video. Now, as you probably know by now, Ninja Gaiden II is well into development and we can expect to see it sometime in 2008. Considering there have been somewhere in the range if eighty-two different […]
