Shocker: Official Xbox Magazine a blatant advertisement for Xbox games
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Sean Ridgley over at Neoseeker seems to have a problem with the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine. Not surprising, considering the entire cover is little more than a full-blown advertisement for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (available now at all major retailers BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT and tell them Destructoid sent […]

That incorrigible "-hero" suffix is at it again, and much like it’s "-punk" cousin, is turning up in the strangest of places. While the fashioning of instruments from saliva-smeared bottles is usually the domain of toothless, overall-clad bumpkins boldly wielding shotguns and inhabiting Deliverence-esque backwaters, the trend of turning any instrument at hand into a […]

It was a mere shell of its old-gen counterparts (the PS2/Xbox/GC versions) — it left out a lot of the features that were present in the non-HD iterations. By now, they’ve re-inserted most of what they […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Dr. Tanya Byron, who won herself many admirers with her fair and even-handed Byron Report, will no doubt cause some of that admiration to be broken if her new TV show, Am I Normal? is anything to go by.

Get down on that Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne reprint
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
You can’t keep a good game down. Much like other Atlus releases, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is one of those games that you keep hearing about if you missed it the first time. This 2004 PlayStation 2 release isn’t necessarily super-rare, but it’s still pretty hard to find. That’s why, if interested, you’d want to […]
