Wii Xbox 360 PS2 PS3 PSP Talk

If there’s one thing Sony’s lacked since it started the PlayStation brand, it was a viable mascot. Back in the day, it looked like Crash Bandicoot would have the honor, or maybe Lara Croft, but no character ever felt truly representative of Sony’s hardware in the same way that Mario did with Nintendo, Sonic did […]

This nonsense in Thailand is going way, way too far. Ever since an idiot kid murdered a cab driver in an attempt to steal his car, Thai officials, as well as people in other parts of the world, have gone absolutely insane thanks to a weak connection with Grand Theft Auto. The latest ludicrous chapter […]

Hamza is, shall we say, indisposed at the moment — so I’m filling in for him, because, y’know, us brown folk have to stick together. I can’t wait for PAX, where I’m finally going to meet him (and many of you as well!).
Speaking of PAX, the official schedule for the three-day expo is now up; […]

[In-game ad firm Massive’s participatory ‘Tropic Thunder’ campaign in Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 actually enters the game mechanics as a sidequest. But how do you draw the line where the game ends and the ad begins, and might the Xbox 360 and PC-exclusive content play a role in the platform wars? Our own Leigh […]

Last week’s DotA debate confused me more than the game of DotA itself. Either we don’t have a lot of DotA gamers reading Dtoid, or they’re all just too busy playing DotA to add to these debates. Sure, the lack of votes last week could be that not a lot of people play the game mod, but when […]

It may have been due to all the “too colorful” shenanigans, but no one has really been focusing on what Diablo III’s story will contain. Tracey John, Multiplayer’s man with two first names, apparently realized this himself, as he attempted to drag some information on that very subject from lead designer Jay Wilson.

A few months ago, 1up ran a story detailing a Square Enix-produced strategy for Final Fantasy XI: Wings of the Goddess‘ toughest boss, the ridiculously-titled Absolute Virtue. More recently, at the Premier Site Summit event in late July, Sage Sundi, the Global Online Producer and Lead Game Master for Final Fantasy XI, claimed that the […]

A post on MyGamerCard.Net just revealed some of the truly hardcore achievements for the 360 version of Mega Man 9 (first reported on by Destructoid’s own Spacecat). Amazingly enough, the post also reveals the sprites for many of the game’s bosses for the first time, though it’s text makes no mention of this.
This is big […]

Braid is currently going through its own personal level of Portal-like popularity at the moment, thanks in part to the rave reviews it’s drawn from gamers. While there’s no catchy theme song you can record yourself singing and subsequently post on YouTube (thank God), the game will likely stick with people who play it for […]
