Shooting fish is worse than shooting people? According to Naughty Dog, yes

Threespeech has an interview up with Naughty Dog’s Evan Wells that throws up something as bemusing as it is amusing. Although there are plenty of fish in the sea, there’d be a lot less if Naughty Dog would have had its way. It wanted to allow you to shoot the aquatic gawpers in Uncharted: Drake’s […]

She hasn’t put clothes on yet: New X-Blades screenshots
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The prudish Nick Chester first informed us of X-Blades, a new action title from Southpeak Games due for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Main character Ayumi is still as bare skinned as ever, with the kind of carefully draped rags that a pervert could merely wish away.
Southpeak Games promises "beautiful animation" and "relentless, high speed […]

Behold! Gears of War 2 gameplay footage is here
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Well, isn’t that a pleasant surprise? The first gameplay footage for Gears of War 2 has arrived a bit earlier than we originally expected it to, thanks to 1UP.
Without giving too much away, I will say that the video above reveals Gears of War 2 to be a beefed up version of the original game, […]

I don’t mean to put the pressure on, RPG fans, but Persona 4 is coming. I know you’re still probably grinding away at Persona 3: FES, but Persona 4 hits shelves in Japan this summer. And the rumor is that we’ll see a US release not too long after. We’ll need whatever head start we […]

Once again, it is time for Art Attack Friday, or AAF for short. This week, the spotlight of awesome has fallen upon Bonus-kun, so named after the famous Bonus Kun from Waku Waku 7 (and you may have noticed the punching bag as you explore past stories on Dtoid too).
Aside from the Bonus Kun […]

PlayStation Network Update: Win a Car edition
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
In this week’s PlayStation Network Update, there’s plenty to play and watch, but only one of the items could help you win a new car. It doesn’t hurt that the GRID demo (961mb) is also pretty kick-ass. After getting the control scheme down, I found myself addicted to the drifting section of the demo.
Actually, all […]

The week in Rock Band DLC: Blondie, The Clash, Sonic Youth
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
First off, I’d like to apologize for this Rock Band downloadable content update coming a bit late today; for whatever reason, the press release made its way into my spam folder. Maybe it was because it contained the words "blondie" and "goo." Take that how you will …
Blondie’s "Hanging on the Telephone," The Clash’s "Train […]

BioWare removes 10-day validation from Mass Effect PC due to backlash
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
A few days ago we posted an article about the PC versions of Mass Effect and Spore containing some worrying copy protection methods that would require users to validate each game online every ten days. While I expressed concern that such a move could go horribly wrong, others were more vocal — chief among them […]

The Daily Mail is one of the last and most volatile bastions of anti-videogames ignorance in the UK. Demonizing games at every opportunity, this "newspaper" is responsible for the infamous "BAN THIS SICK FILTH" headline that ran following the murder of Stephen Pakeerah, in which the rag called for the banning of games that hadn’t […]

Friday Night Fights: What would Destructoid be without FNF edition
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Power-glove may have beaten me to the punch, but I’ve been running out of themes for these Friday Night Fights posts, so I ran with it anyway.
If you haven’t got the slightest idea what I’m referring to, then you obviously don’t hit up the community blogs as often as you should. In any case, FNF […]
