Machinima can be some pretty impressive and well done stuff. However, almost everything that happens in it doesn’t pertain to the actual world of the game; it’s just a fan’s story in most cases.Machinima.comis changing that up as they’ve worked closely with Bioware to produce “Warden’s Fall,” a seven minuteDragon Agemachinima that picks up where the game left off. The story follows Kristoff, another Gray Warden that players encounter in the “Awakenings” DLC, and probably doesn’t end too happily if it’s about his fall....

The latest batch ofDynasty Warriors 7CGI artworks have been unleashed, revealing another all-new character and revamps for a bunch of older ones, including my personal favorite, Zhang He. Wei’s Vega-flavored general looks a lot less like a crossdresser this time, going back to his cooler, more badassDynasty Warriors 3roots. He somehow looks creepierwithoutthe makeup, which I like. Liu Chan appears exactly how he should — a pampered, borderline-retarded douchebag who pissed his father’s kingdom away....

You can put theCooking Mamain the garden, but you can’t keep the cooking out of the Mama … or something like that. 505 Games has just announced that everyone’s’ favoritefiery-eyed denizenof the digital kitchen has grown tired of tilling soil and growing gardenias, and has decided to head back into the kitchen to whip up some more tasty treats for DS owners worldwide. The aptly namedCooking Mama 3will feature over 80 recipes, 200 mini-games, and four-player multiplayer....

And the winner for worst headline of all time? Chad Concelmo for his “LEGO Harry Potterteaser post” two seconds ago! Thank you, thank you so much everyone. I would like to thank the Academy, of course. Also my friends at Destructoid and my family. Oh, and also Jesus. Thanks, JC! In all seriousness, though: just afterLEGO Harry Potterwasofficially announced this morning, a pretty cool teaser trailer for the 2010 game landed in our Inbox....

I have the feeling that I missed a lot of best PS3/360 games at this year’s E3.Shadow ComplexandPixelJunkShooterwere supposedly on the show floor, but I never saw them, despite looking high and low for them all three days of the show. I’ve heard that each of these games actually had to share monitor-time with other download only titles, which is a real crying shame, especially when you consider the fact thatInfamous, a game that’s already been released, took up multiple screens on the floor....

While it may have appeared as though I spent the majority of my time at E3dumpster divingand scrounging forfree stuffaround the hangar, believe it or not I actually had a chance to see a few games here and there too. Atari invited me to their swanky food-stocked cove to take a look at what they had in store for this year. Since I know you all have been dying to hear about howJengafor the Wii is, and are equally as ecstatic to see what the gameGodzilla: Unleashedis all about, hit the jump for my personal experience with both....

We have heard past comments out of Electronic Arts about how successfulBattlefield 1943was, and how the company would like to do more games in that vein. Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter has some clarification on how exactly this will be done going forward. EA senior VP Nick Earl “revealed a strategy to release premium downloadable content (PDLC) as a product for sale prior to the release of a packaged product,” explains Pachter....

Square Enix hasrevealed throughFamitsuthatCrystal Chronicles: Echoes in Timeis heading to the DS and Wii. Our news contributor Adam Dork was expecting the announcement to beChrono Trigger-related. No soup for him. Instead, theCrystal Chroniclesseries is getting another game withEchoes in Timeas its subtitle. This action RPG will integrate the Wii and the DS versions, meaning that Wii gamers and DS gamers can play the same game together. That’s pretty cool. Here’s a run down of features:...

Fans of dragons will be delighted to hear that they won’t be able to get enough of the scaly bastards inThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.According to director Todd Howard, they pop up everywhere, and no amount of reptile murder will bring them to extinction. “There is an unlimited number of dragons,” said Howard. “One of our designers actually put in a random event I encountered, where I ended up being chased by three dragons and I thought, ‘who the hell did this?...

Doodles. Hexes. Just another day in the life of your average emo rock star elf. Tragnarion Studios has announcedDoodle Hexfor the Nintendo DS, a game where “Doodlers” compete head-to-head by drawing runes onto the handhelds touch screen. In real time, power spells are created to inflict damage to their opponent, doing things like shaking their screen or, better yet, turning them into frogs. Players can compete in tournaments or complete puzzle challenges to unlock spells and runes, which can be used to create a custom spell book....

Massive, massiveEvil Deadfan here. So much so that I have thoroughly enjoyed everyEvil Deadgame ever put out, despite knowing that some of them weren’t really up to snuff. Thankfully, the next game based on the franchise is looking pretty neat, even if the trailer gives us no information on it other than its going to be pretty faithful to the original film and it’s on iDevices. That’s actually pretty awesome in my opinion....

Our hearts goes out to many gamers in India who will never have a chance to play Bethesda’sFallout 3. Microsoft, who were set to exclusively distribute the title in India for the Xbox 360, has announced that the game will not be released in that territory. “Microsoft constantly endeavors to bring the best games to Indian consumers in sync with their international release,” said Microsoft India in a statement. “However, in light of cultural sensitivities in India, we have made the business decision to not bringFallout 3into the country....

Today’s Free App is of the ever-popular “falling down and collecting some crap” genre. With a rather eccentric art style and some charming music,Dragon’s Keepis worth a little look. All you have to do is tilt the iPhone left and right to make the creepy little girl avoid enemies and pick stuff up. Pretty basic stuff, but it costs nothing and just … what? What are you f*cking complaining about? It’s free!...
