This just came in over the wires, and seems to be an interesting attempt to smoosh together leading ‘pop-art’ movements into a collaborative Vancouver-based exhibition, with the game part of it being curated by Will Wright and including an apparently playable version of Spore.
Looks like Mario, Civilization and Pac-Man might be shown there too, […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
This is fourth installment in our self-proclaimed "delightful countdown" to Super Smash Bros. Brawl’s release on midnight, March 9th, 2008. In many ways, it’s much like the fourth Planet of the Apes film. It’s up to you to figure out what that means. The first one to do so gets a pair of Wii fingerless […]

New gameplay clips of Braid for XBLA: Familiar never felt so fresh
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Looking at gameplay from the indie-developed Braid is like hearing a beautifully orchestrated rendition of The Final Countdown. The song was pretty awesome to begin with, but now? Holy crap.
There’s nothing incredibly new about it, per se. You jump, stomp on monsters, climb, and to be sure, most of what you’ll see is a direct […]

We are having a yard sale. According to Famitsu, Cave’s infamous shooter DoDonPachi: Dai-ou-jou (seen in the above video) is on its way to Xbox 360, along with Ketsui, another beautiful Cave shmup.
As far as we know, this is a Japan-only release with both games published on disc format, but we can always hope […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
In news that has caused a lot of surprised "woah" noises around the Destructoid water cooler, and doubtless water coolers all over the games blogging world, it has come to light that Ziff Davis, the name behind 1UP, EGM magazine and Games for Windows magazine, has filed for chapter 11 in a bid to combat […]

In a special designer-focused rant that showed […]

I am currently sitting on a bench at ASU staring at two crowds of people, one right next to the other. At the head of the first crowd stands an elderly woman in a sun hat, holding an oversized piece of white posterboard reading "WARNING: Fornicators, sodomites, liars, and drunkards are going to HELL."
The other […]

You played Passage, right? You know, the little five minute game which managed to cram more thematic meaning and sheer emotion into a 100×16 pixel window than anyone would have ever thought possible? If you didn’t, you should. If you did, join me at the next paragraph.
