Guinness Book of World Records … the game … wait, what?

How do you pitchsomething like thisto Destructoid readers? I guess you just say it —Guinness Book of World Records the Videogame. There, I said it, and somehow I don’t feel like I did the idea justice. According to Gamefly, a game based on the annual catalog of noteworthy achievements (and that guy who sticks clothes pegs to his face a lot) is heading to the Wii and the DS which is, let’s face it, where titles like this go to trick parents into buying them....

Happy Birthday Destructoid, and the Human Inside!

[Editor’s note: I’ve asked several of our most talented community members to make something special for the Birthday/Anniversary super special. Expect several more C-Blogs throughout the day like this. — CTZ] Ah, Destructoid, my home away from home. It was only less than a year ago since I joined this place, and I have now become so much more enamored with this site than I have nearly anything else before it....

Hear Frog’s plea in Chrono Trigger: The Musical

Chrono Trigger: The Musical isn’t what it sounds like. It’s really just a short web clip. Brent Black wrote lyrics to Frog’s Theme (Yasunori Mitsuda), giving us insight into what goes on in Frog’s little green head inChrono Trigger. This is fun, but I would have liked to seen it taken a bit farther. The animation is silly but functional, done by someone named Parker Simmons. I will say that if you’ve never playedChrono Trigger, this one will be a head scratcher....

I, GameJew: The Mushroom Singdom

Yes, I’ve been away from Destructoid for a while, but after seeing everyone at PAX, it seemed like the natrual thing to do would be to start posting again. Hence: The Mushroom Singdom. For the last couple of months, I’ve been doing singing Virtual Console reviews. Simple? Yes, except when you consider that I wake up at 9am (Nintendo releases the games at 9am PST on the dot), download the games, capture some video of me playing them, and then hole up in my room for two hours and write the songs....

If Sonic just ran, Unleashed would be three hours long

By now you should have read ourreview ofSonic Unleashed, a title that Sega has been calling a game of two halves. Indeed it is, but not just because it’s split between running and brawling, but because it’s also split between amazing and terrible. One of the problems with recentSonicgames is their lack of purity. Sonic Team seems incapable of just allowing Sonic to do his thing without cramming in Werehog brawling or terrible faux-RPG hub worlds....

Intro video for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates

Brought to you through the wonders of wibble-wobble vision, here’s the intro vid for Square-Enix’s upcoming DS adventure,Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates. The first thing you will notice is that the game is quite obviously demonic. All the characters have emotionless, dead eyes, bereft of any sentiency, as if they possess no soul. Using my expert knowledge, I have deduced that this game is definitely about huffing the minds of children and turning them into thoughtless slaves who do your vile bidding....
