Ah, yeah, our various sister sites - particularly Gamasutra.com, of course - have been publishing a bunch of original interviews and features this week, and I wanted to particularly highlights a few here.
Some notables - a couple of neat interviews with Japanese developers (at Taito and Konami) from Brandon Sheffield, news from GDC and […]

Leave a Comment
A large portion of the videogames as art debate focuses on games telling serious stories, having deep meaning, and being fairly unique. Yet, there’s another issue within the games as art debate that I want to focus on: the auteur.
Behind every successful game, there is a large team that goes into making it. From the […]

Earn your stripes has a whole new meaning: The NES badge
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The original Nintendo Entertainment System has spawned everything from tremendous recreations to backpacks and still remains my favorite icon in gaming history. There are very few dedications to the controller that have the retro element and also manage to be classy, but this badge from Supermandolini manages to pull off both and make it look […]

Dave Jaffe keeps it real once again: Another call for a one console universe
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Dave Jaffe is a multi-faceted man. When he’s not openly criticizing the company that has written his pay checks for most of his career, feuding with gaming blogs, or actually working on the occasional game himself, he takes the time out to make hugely controversial statements about our industry that either work gamers into a […]

It’s that time of the week where we discuss the videogames we’ve been playing here on Destructoid and frankly, if you are yet to experience the Engrish greatness that is Omega 5’s "narrator," then we really, really pity you. The game itself is pretty damn fun, but Gracial Fortlesses put it over the edge. Give […]

Too good to be true? Possible new Resident Evil arcade game in the works
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Don’t be surprised if you stumble upon a new Biohazard arcade game while traversing Japan some time in the near future, as it appears the voice behind the Red Queen in The Umbrella Chronicles was doing a little double duty while in the recording studio for the Wii title we’ve all been playing. It hasn’t been […]

[We’ll be running extended versions of a few of these 2007 indie round-ups, cross-posted from our sister IndieGames.com blog, since editor Tim W. really knows his beans. This one’s frivolous, but fun.]

People have been hunched over their PCs, firing rockets into the faces of their friends since Doom. The ability to play a game against real human opponents via a network changed the face of the industry and helped shape the scene we are now a part of. Over the years, we have seen the world’s […]

At this point, I think it’s obvious that Activision has no real intentions of supporting Guitar Hero III with significant downloadable content. The next obvious step is Guitar Hero IV, which according to rumor (and a drunk, naked Captain Obvious), is already in the works.
While we’ve heard rumors of an Aerosmith-flavored Guitar Hero, check out […]

Booty-shaking Japanese Street Fighter IV Web site goes live
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The official Japanese Web site for Capcom’s Street Fighter IV has gone live, and does the music playing in its background make you want to shake your ass or what?
The site contains screens which we’ve already seen, as well as character bios for characters we already know about — Ryu, Ken, and the recently revealed […]
