Therefore, here’s the major features from this week - including Kurt Kalata’s Dragon Quest history adapted from HG101, and a neat […]

Longtime readers of Destructoid may know by now that I have a level of quiet respect for EA CEO John Riccitiello, whose statements over his past year as head of the "evil" games company have lent a human, humble and above all, honest face to one of gaming’s least trusted entities. With Activision putting EA […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The GameBoys is the work of our good friend, Geoff Mendicino. Episode 6 features Rocco from Mega64 who reviews DVD-Rs, Geoff becoming Solid Snake, a tribute to Andrew Rosenblum who apparently died, griefing in Ghost Recon, and a review of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Alert Fox News: Ten-year-old mugs a younger classmate for his Pokemon cards

Here’s a weekend special for you, sure to be taken by tabloid media outlets like Fox News and warped into an anti-video game manifesto. In Redwood City, California, a ten-year-old boy recently came to school armed with an Airsoft gun (a pellet gun designed to look like the real thing). He put it to the […]

Continuing Gamasutra’s ‘Road To The IGF’ feature, Patrick Murphy talks to Large Animal Games’ Wade Tinney about his 2008 Independent Games Festival Design Innovation Award finalist Snapshot Adventures: Secret of Bird Island.
This is one of the more interesting finalists, because it’s definitely a casual title (if you want to get into inane genre classifications), […]

Destructoid and GameTrailers TV hold hands and talk about the future

I never know how to handle these “appearance” posts. I don’t want to look like a tool by writing all about me (look , I’m on T.V.!), but at the same time, I don’t want to miss out on an opportunity to promote the legitimacy of Destructoid. See, it is already all about me. Ugh. […]

Hands-on with Rainbow Six Vegas 2’s multiplayer
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
It seems like Ubisoft knows exactly how to make a tactical FPS game just the way I like it seeing as how theirs is the only ones I can play. Case in point, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is fantastic. I recently got to play the game on the Xbox 360 and am now here to […]

Just one lonely Xbox Live Arcade title has been announced for next week: Discs of Tron (400 Microsoft Points). You’re probably having déjà vu at this point — that’s because this will actually be the second Tron game to hit XBLA.
