[Every so often, you may see some of these mini-features appear on the front page. They are just short editorial thoughts meant to start an interesting conversation in the comments and c-blogs. Enjoy! Now get to discussing!] In the last few weeks, I played throughSuper Metroidagain for, maybe, the fiftieth time. While saying “OMG I have played that game at least fifty times!” is usually quite the exaggeration, with me andSuper Metroid, I think a statement like that may just be true....

The new season of the Jace Hall Show premiered on IGN yesterday and features the hilarious antics of Jace as he gets abused by just about everyone in this industry. Celebrity appearances were made by Dolph Lundgren, Carl Weathers, and Felicia Day, and Jace even got to sit in on a meeting with Blizzard. The best part of the episode is the Carl vs. Dolph rematch inWii Sportsboxing. I really wanted Apollo to win, but Ivan Drago simply destroyed Apollo Creed once again....

As Conrad told youlast night, Hall of Heroes is a character-sharing hub for the PS3 game3D Dot Game Heroes. In the game you can use the character editor to create your own in-game hero, so it makes sense that players would want a way to show off their designs.There’s a special section on the game’s official website that allows you to share custom heroes with others. Atlus is planning to reward fans with the best designs with Amazon videogames credit....

Fact: Juggernaut can’t read. If the metal-clad bruiser knew we missed his appearance inMarvel Ultimate Alliance 2atSan Diego Comic-Con, Destructoid would no longer exist. Another fact: Juggernaut has the strength of forty elephants. With that kind of power he could punch through his computer screen, through the Internet, and thump our servers. But print isn’t his thing, thus we can bring the video of Juggernaut in action below the fold....

According to GameTrailers TV host and all-around man of the industry Geoff Keighley, we can expect a newTomb Raiderreveal as early as next week. “I’ve heard rumblings of a new Lara Croft project that’s gonna be at GDC,”he tweetedearlier today. These “rumblings” come after Crystal Dynamics art director Darrell Gallagher told Gamasutra that no less than two projects were in the works at the developer. One of them could be (and probably is)the rumored and leakedTomb Raiderreboot....

As youfound out yesterday,Tekken 6is coming out for the PSP alongside the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 version of the game. It’s coming this Fall and is set to have extra content such as stages and items. We saw thePlayStation 3 version ofTekken 6last nightat Namco Bandai’s event and liked what we saw. The PSP version wasn’t ready to be shown off yet, but our journalism skills leads us to believe thatTekken 6on the PSP will play out likeTekken 6on the consoles....

With the arrival of any major release comes news of broken street dates, as lucky gamers draw envy and disgust from their peers with early copies of the latest hot title. Konami is well aware of this, and withMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriotson the horizon, the publisher’spretty laid backabout the situation. “Unfortunately, these things happen,” stated Konami as it lit a cigar with a dollar bill. “As much as we like to see that no one breaks streets dates, no one can monitor every single moment that a title gets packed up for shipment and when its on its way to the stores....

La-Mulanais known for terminating folks. The game is a lot of fun, but it’s so daunting at times that some fans are afraid to play the game through a second time. The team at Nigoro (La-Mulana‘s developers) seem aware of this. They’re working to make the WiiWare build of the game less punishing, while making the game more believable and detailed in the process. For instance, in the PC build of the games, spikes will damage you no matter where you hit them....

Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkersis slated to hit Xbox LIVE Marketplace later this afternoon. If you’ve never playedMagic: The Gatheringbefore, you may be thinking twice about the 800 Microsoft Point commitment — the Magic paper game isn’t the easy to learn. Understanding this, I asked two guys behind the XBLA title — senior business manager Worth Wollpert and senior brand director Aaron Goolsbey — what the game offered to newbies....

Do you remember the days back before all of theTournamentaction? If you do, you’ll remember that the originalUnrealwas the game we used to show off the power of our PC rigs. It also raised the bar for 3D games, and was a visual benchmark for the rest of the FPS world at the time. Those are fond memories for many a gamer. It’s too bad that there’s no plans to revisit those good times with anotherUnreal....

Mega64continues theirpartnership with Ubisoft withthis second adforTom Clancy’s H.A.W.X.Sadly, there are no half-naked sweaty guys or a granny with a dirty mouth in this one. Instead we see Rocco and Derrick simulating what it’s will be like to fly jet planes. Remember folks, they get paid to do this kind of stuff. Mega64 is living the dream.

PAX East 2010 went down in Boston a couple of weeks ago and gamers from all over got to geek out. This was the first PAX on the East Coast and one of the biggest gaming conventions to hit that side of the country in a very long time. The show was a lot smaller compared to the West Coast version with what was on the main show floor but the expo drew just as many people as PAX Prime....

Much hubbub was made earlier this week over the newly revealedMonster Huntergame for the 3DS, and the analog nub cradlethat’s coming along with it. The peripheral, which gives the 3DS the ability to play games with double nub controls (something people have been asking for from the PSP for years), caused many gamers to completely lose their sh*t. The hysteria ranged from “Nintendo is going to force us to use this for every game now!...
