Hey, Smash Bros. Dojo? I need a word with you.
Though you represent one of the industry’s most brilliant marketing tactics I’ve ever seen, I must confess that I’m a wee bit irate with you. You’ve made my job difficult. I have to review this friggin’ game and the hype has hit critical mass.
As such, I […]

Boy, that Ace Bricka is a regular Vince Lombardi, isn’t he?
As Destructoid’s resident sports gamer, I see tons of comments on my posts along the lines of “I only care about sports games when you can hit someone after the play”, or “If you can’t get ‘on fire’, then I don’t care.” That’s fine; I […]

Creepy, nasty, disturbing worm boy: Nobi Nobi details
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
You may recall a while back that the man behind the Katamari Damacy games, Keita Takahashi, was working on a new game with a similar visual style and quirky Japanese flavor, Nobi Nobi Boy.

In the modern lull of game-related Saturday morning cartoons, I sometimes find myself consumed in day dreams littered with cartoon-likenesses of Mario, Link, and all of their good friends and foes of ages past. Streaming out in full colored glory, they appear to me through rays of energized pixels. But as I gluttonously drink in […]

We now know that God of War: Chains of Olympus is a big bunch of badass crammed into a little tiny package. Visually, the PlayStation Portable game is a stunner, much like its PS2 predecessors. Those with ear holes also know that the series has also always been a pleasure to listen to, and much […]

Last week, HawtyMcBloggy brought word of Nathaniel’s one of a kind Xbox 360 that was adorned with signatures and artwork by industry people. The 360 unfortunately broke down so Nathaniel sent the system in making sure that Microsoft would take proper care of the system so the art and signatures stayed in tact. As we […]
