Highlights from the Destructoid Community 07/20/08

I am always insanely jealous of you community members that actually own Arcade Cabinets. I won’t be able to die happy until I own a Street Fighter II and The Simpsons Arcade Cabinet. Anyway, maxio098ui is this week’s gaming setup highlight. He has a huge collection of games including tons of imported stuff all contained […]

COLUMN: ‘Game Mag Weaseling’: Mag Roundup 7/19/08
Category: Column: Game Mag Weaseling | Leave a Comment
Busy days abound in magazine land…just not in the U.S. right now (I only have four mags to cover in this installment).
First off, I was delighted to find a store nearby that stocks UK mag PC Zone, so I bought another copy. Very nice, very funny, and (like I said the last time I mentioned […]

Scraps: E3 needed more tits; save on PS games today (7/20/08)
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Well, it’s a lazy Sunday evening, and that means it’s time for Scraps! Tried to keep the variety up today, and as long as boobs are mentioned, I’m sure people are going to be happy. There’s not much to say about the content except there are tasty bits awaiting you (none NSFW, unfortunately).
If you’re […]

Destructoid exclusive: Alan Wake TGS 08 teaser
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
A few days ago, a promotion that Microsoft ran for Windows Vista resurfaced on the Internet. It was a drawing for the opportunity to be digitally inserted into Remedy’s Alan Wake and a trip to the Tokyo Game Show to view the game in action. The bad part of all this is that the promotion […]

Games of the week for 07/21/08: Nintendo iRavi edition
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Nintendo’s horrific E3 press conference may be all in the past, but its legacy shall live on. Ravi Drums has that somewhat dubious honor of becoming the Internet’s latest fad, and his fate is to inhabit moderately amusing .gifs for many long days to come. Don’t worry though, Mr. Drums, we’ll soon forget all about […]

Destructoid/Blast Works level design contest UPDATE: Zycyzyx Returns
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Only one entry in the contest this week, but it doesn’t matter because it would have beaten any other competitors anyway. Zxcyzyx, previously only available in preview form, is now complete, and it’s fantastic. Two bosses, multiple power ups, hidden "Score bags", amazing art direction, and three Legendary Wings inspired ships made specifically for this […]

In an interview with the Financial Times, Sony president Kaz Hirai revealed that he has set a target of 150 million PS3 units sold worldwide. Selling that many units is certainly a lofty goal, but Hirai isn’t referring to shipping that many PS3 in this generation of consoles. He’s going on the assumption that the […]

On Destructoid, check out our entire E3 2008 coverage. On Japanator, One […]

It’s the GameSetLinks o’ the weekend, starting out with TIGSource’s tribute to The Poppenkast, one of the neater cliques out there in indie game land.
What it represents is the tip of the iceberg regarding user-created content - in the sense that - arguably - what games really need are tools to allow artists […]

When we last left Portal: Still Alive, we were very unsure as to what the XBLA title would contain. Valve was cool enough to tell us that Achievements were confirmed, but not much else. GameSetWatch was able to corner Valve’s Doug Lombardi and get a few answers.
The game is indeed a standalone version of the […]
