TheHeadbanger graphicwas created by James Callahan and “brings a scene of pure metal aggression to life, creating an epic Stage Battle on your chest.” TheRazorgirl shirtwas created by Daniel Mumford and “modernizes the epic girl meets monster designs used by so many early heavy metal bands.” How can you get these epic shirts?...
Did you know that it takes ten swings from a Frying Pan (8.5 seconds) to bring down an Expert-level Tank in Valve’sLeft 4 Dead 2? Did you know it about five clips from an Assault Rifle, seven clips from a Silenced SMG, or three clips from a Military Sniper Rifle to do the same? If you’re not prowling the game’sofficial Steam message board, you probably didn’t know, so consider yourselfeducated....

Who’s excited about this newBeyond Good & Evilgame? Uh, everyone, that’s who. If you guys are done screaming like teenage girls at the sight ofAmerican Idol‘s David Archuleta, you might want to take a look at these. Sure, it’s nothing new. These high-res screens are taken directly from the teaser trailer for the title —the same one we posted earlier. But at least now you’ve got something to slap on on your desktop while we count down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until we get some new information on the sequel we weren’t sure we’d ever see....

The developer of the title, Marvelous Entertainment, appears to be keeping the title close to its PlayStation Portable roots. Here’s a list of the confirmed features from the spread thatGamekyothrew together: While I wasn’t exactlytoo amazed by the first titleon the PSP, I can definitely see the potential on the Wii.

Metroid: Other Mmay scare me, but that’s not because I’msurethe game will be bad. It’s just hard to know if something so different will live up toMetroid‘s illustrious history. That’s probably why I findMinitroidso comforting. It’s aMetroid 2-influenced game with new gameplay mechanics and super-low resolution graphics. While every game since the firstMetroidhas worked to give Samus an increasingly realistic look,Minitroidgoes the other way, and it pays off big time. This isMetroidby way ofCave Story, and I’m loving it....
The PSP is my favorite game system, hands down. Well, actually, hands up. Hands up into my face, as the PSP is always in front of it. But here’s the thing: I don’t love the PSP for its design as much as I do for its offerings and portability. A portable game system with a nice, big screen and strong graphical capability is all I’ve ever wanted, and for me, the PSP was the first to deliver that....

A couple of months back I posted anArt Attack Fridayabout Anna the Red (orkickintheheadcomic on Flickr), an artist who created some famous videogame characters out of tasty bento boxes. If you missed it, clickhereto check it out. They are absolutely incredible. At the end of the article I made a joke where I said — and I quote: “If anyone needs me, I will be in the kitchen recreating a scene fromShadow of the Colossusout of my grilled cheese sandwich....
Everyone here at Destructoid has a weak spot when it comes to certain types of games. The kind that when you first hear about it, it makes you go from “Oh hey, this could be good” to eliciting the type of response normally reserved for parents who lay their eyes on their newborn child for the first time. For some, it is indie 2D platformers, RPGs oriCarly. For others, it is shooters or fighting games....

Midway claims that these images they’ve sent us for the upcomingMortal Kombat vs. DC Universeare the “first ever.” We’re not sure if we’re buying it, because we’re pretty positive we’ve seen some around before, like some of the character and environment renders. The action shots, however, may be be new. So it’s for that reason we’re inclined to pass them along for your viewing pleasure. In them, Scorpion is being put to the test, being pitted against Superman, Batman, and the Flash....
