Something about Hyadain’s work is so peaceful. He has a great art style and he’s such a great musician. The latest jam from Hyadain is a remix of the Bubbleman theme fromMega Man 2. Unlike Hyadain’s previous works, this one isn’t as homoerotic asCrash Man “Let’s Do It”. Destructainment is GO! After the break, listen to an awesomeMetal Gear Solid 2cover performed on an electric guitar. Next up, it’s a completely pointless video of Mario inMinesweeper....
Some were hoping to hear a launch date for upcoming MMOStar Wars: The Old Republicduring EA’s earnings conference call today. But no. EA did give a couple of reasons for this. The first is that they don’t want the competition to have a heads up. That makes sense, especially considering the size of their primary competitor. But more importantly, they want to continue charging ahead with the beta test, giving them more time to polish the game....
Wondercon 2011 has surprisingly been good with thecosplayers this year, and that’s not even factoring Yaya Han and VampyBitMe’s marvelous outfits. Of course, like any convention, there are some questionable outfits. The standout being the fat Slave Leia roaming the hall. Lucky for you, no fat Slave Leia’s in our second gallery of cosplayers from Wondercon here. Instead, there are plenty of awesome shots taken byJ Eckert from pixel42 Studios. The best outfit I laid eyes on yesterday?...
Microsoft has formally filed against DHL for $2 million worth of damages as a result of damaged Xbox 360s on a DHL train that derailed in Duke, Texas. The wording in the complaint indicates that the Xbox 360s suffered from “impact damage, wetting, pilfering and shortage.” If this situation is any indication of emotion, executives at Microsoft Game Studios must be reallysteamed. The reason for the filling had to deal with the way DHL “negligently breached its duties as a common carrier, handler, bailee, warehouseman, agent or in other capabilities....
Although the Xbox 360 launched with its fair share of issues, once the system started picking up big-name titles likeGears of WarandHalo 3, it was only a matter of time before the console outsold the original Xbox. That time, is now. Microsoft VP of Interactive Entertainment Chris Lewisbroke the newsto MCV saying, “We’ve already surpassed the installed base of the original Xbox – which is a really significant milestone. We’ve been blown away by the appetite of people to consumer digital entertainment experiences....

To quoteBad Boys II, “sh*t just got real.” Ever wonder what would happen if you combinedStreet Fighterwith zombies? I did, once. I’m fairly sure the World Warriors would kick some zombie ass for days after the outbreak but would eventually become overwhelmed by the massive undead population. Manuhell also thought out this sequence of events. Much to my delight, the end result was something everyone can enjoy: zombifiedStreet Fighterartwork! My favorite of the bunch would have to be Sagat, for sure....
I recentlytook a look at “Pigsy’s Perfect 10,”the upcoming downloadable expansion pack forNinja Theory’s Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. But would you like to get a closer look at a Pigsy himself, or rather the actor who voices him? His name is Richard Ridings, and he’s the subject of this latest behind-the-scenes video for Ninja Theory’s title. It’s always interesting to see the actors behind the voices, and this clip gets up close with the actor in the studio as he works with Andy Serkis (“Monkey”) and Lindsay Shaw (“Trip”)....

1-bit Ninja(iPhone,$1.99) by kode80 sees its release today. I’ve given it some playtime in the past couple of days, and it’s pretty great if you are into old school platformers with a twist. If it looks a bit likeSuper Mario Landto you, you’re right.1-bit Ninjauses a style of retro graphics inspired by the LCD handheld games of the old days, but the gameplay is way different. For starters, you can’t move backwards which takes a lot of getting used to....
After watching the exclusive feature onthe sounds ofDead Spacethat the developers kindly shared with Destructoid, I actually found myself really excited about this game, which I originally thought might be aAlienrip-off. Despite similarities in story,Dead Spacelooks to be standing on its own two feet just fine, and this new set of screens makes me more deliciously excited. I’ve never been so excited about being scared sh*tless, in fact. you’re able to check those out in the gallery, which I suggest you do after rewatching thistrailerand then changing your pants if you peed in them....
Hamza told youwhat to expectfrom the North American 3DS eShop launch, but I wanted to give some love to our European readers, and also to those few of you in Japan. On June 7, Europe will get a line-up very similar to our own:Excitebike 3D(free until July 7),Pokédex 3D(free),Super Mario Land,Alleyway, andTennis. Respectable enough; thank goodness we’ll have a bunch of DSiWare games (hundreds!) to look forward to as well....
