Yesterday,Braidwas released on PC. We would have loved to see what Jonathan Blow — the creator of the game — had to say about the release on his blog, but we can’t. It’scurrently down, which might serve as a good indication as to the popularity of the game’s Windows release. you’re able to buy and download the game from a variety of places. As pointed out by community memberIroN1c, it’s available throughSteam,Greenhouse,ImpluseandGamersgate....
Square Enix sent over a copy of its Nintendo 3DS launch title,Bust-A-Move Universetoday. It came in a mighty large box. And why’s that? Because they also sent along some Bust-A-Move NERF guns. Oh, and a little Bub bank. Watch in awe as I open up the box for the first time. I’ll have a full review up of the game as soon as we’re done having all this NERF fun. (Could be awhile....
Here’s a novelty item for those of you who can’t get credit cards but love spending money. Capcom has issued some rather funkypre-paid VISA cards, emblazoned with lovely images fromResident Evil 5,Bionic CommandoandStreet Fighter IV. These aren’t really credit cards in the truest sense, since the money is already pre-paid. They’re more like a gift card that can be spent anywhere that accepts VISA. The main benefit to them is that you get to make savings on Capcom products, and earn Capcom Unity Points....
As is typical with games of its caliber, there is much aboutResident Evil 5that is shrouded in mysteries and questions. At Capcom’s Las Vegas media event, CAPTIVATE 08, co-producers Jun Takeuchi and Masachicka Kawata aren’t exactly forthcoming with the answers you might have wanted. Speaking via a translator to a room full of weary gaming journalists (tired from a long night of drinking andRock Band, of all things), the Japanese-speaking Takeuchi present to us most of the things we already knew....
For those of you, like myself, who have never played any of theGod of Wargames (waits for shouts of anger to stop) theGoW Collectionis a godsend. Here we have both classic games running on the PS3 with supposedly better graphics and a 720p presentation at 60fps. I knew this was coming, that’s why I didn’t play them before. But how can we be sure if the graphics are really that much better unless we compare them?...
If you’ve been holding off and on the fence about which console you’ll be picking up, this might sway your decision. Warner Music Group and Microsoft have announced an agreement to bring music videos from WMG artists to Xbox LIVE. Starting this week, you’ll be able to download videos from artists like Cute is What We Aim For, Death Cab for Cutie, Flo Rida, Matchbox Twenty, Panic At the Disco, T....
You may have heardlast month, but it’s official as of today, October 3: I am taking over as Destructoid’s Editor-in-Chief. What happened to Nick Chester? Today he should be in Boston, starting his first day of work at Harmonix. His dream job. I’m really sad to see him go, as he was a great bossandfriend. Covering events with him was never not hilarious, so I’ll miss that. But he handed the torch to me, and I’m happy to take it....
We have a preview ofDawn of War II: Chaos Risingcoming today. To get yourself ready, why not check out this brand new trailer for the upcoming expansion pack?Chaos Risingbrings a new campaign, new maps, new items, new units and a new army to the table. It’s new stuff that is new! Chaos is my favoriteWarhammer 40,000army, so it’s great to see them finally arrive inDawn of War II. Wondering how much fun they are to play?...
Do you see that Ork hero? That’s the hero Jordan Devore is not allowed to play with in the upcomingWarhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Retribution, because dibs have been called. But depending on how invested you are in the Dawn of War community, you could be playing with any of the six multiplayer races as early as January 31st in the upcoming beta! The beta is meant to test the new Steamworks networking and matchmaking features and to help balance things that need balancing....
With the success of Level-5’sProfessor Laytonseries (thanks, Lisa Kudrow!) it’s not altogether surprising that other puzzle games, like Nivel21’s upcomingRotor’scope: The Secret of Endless Energy, might take a few pages from its book. LikeLayton,Rotor’scopetakes place in a vaguely neo-Victorian setting (the game starts when the protagonist’s father is killed in a zeppelin accident, for example) and its puzzles are strung together by an overarching narrative. That, however, is where the similarities end....
If you’re not Black Friday-ed out, there’s some new deals for this first week of December. Walmart has a good batch of stuff for what they’re calling Cyber Week. Sounds kinky! The best thing is the $90 off a PS3 bundle. For $379 you get a 160GB PS3, your choice of two games, your choice of one Blu-ray movie, and a Blu-ray remote. Nice. They say that this is the fourth best-selling item of Cyber Week....

Konami had one of the more active booth setups at E3 this year, thanks in large part toDef Jam Rapstar. TheRapstarstage overshadowed Konami’s area, and it was always filled with life, as people would sing their favorite rap songs. Def Jam Rapstaris similar to other sing along games out there with the exception that this one is completely focused on hip-hop music. We’vecovered the core conceptalready, so this time we’re going to talk a bit about the social aspect that will want to keep you coming back for more....
