Arkedo showed off a scrapped Natal game called2-Finger Heroes. Various isses caused the team to abandon the project, which is a real shame. The game looks hilarious and knowing Arkedo, there would have been some sort of “shocker” finger finishing move. Maybe. Halo: Reachsomething something hype,Final Fantasy IandIIare coming to the iPhone, play as the smoking hot chick inResident Evil 5: Gold Edition, BANANA PHONE DO DO DO DA DA DA and more happened on 01/21/10....

Carlton, ladies and gentlemen. That’s what I’m talkin’ about. Hamza’s still off looking at moose, so you’re stuck with me again. But that’s okay, because I talked to Jim earlier, who’s finally gotten to playRaskulls, and he tells me it’s a great deal of fun. That’s good to hear. Keep an eye out for more on that this week. Chad shed a manly tear overMother 3, Ben gave us a look at some hotMonster Hunteraction, Niero’s showing some college kids how to be awesome like him, I listened to the same Judy and Mary album for six solid hours, and a dog playedTony Hawk: Ride....

Don’t panic, everyone, but there are only a couple more Great Retro Olympic events left before the closing ceremony on Sunday. Don’t miss out on a chance to walk away with a shiny medal. Your friends and family will be so proud. Hell, maybe you will even end up on the cover of aWheatiesNintendo cereal box if you do well. Today’s event is the200 meter freestyle, which means the quiz is all aboutwater stagesin retro videogames....

My new camera hasn’t arrived, so I apologize for the bad camera angle that cuts off a bit of my head and the poor sound. Can’t be helped. I was going to skip it this week but we needed the content and, well, it doesn’t feel like Friday if I don’t post one of these now. Problems aside, this is a subject that’s close to my heart, so at least the argument is solid....

Ladies and gentlemen, The Podcastle is once again lowering its drawbridge and inviting the peasant folk in for tea and crumpets. We have a lot to talk about this week, so expect a packed show! What do Destructoid’s Britpop podcasters have to say aboutLittleBigPlanet‘s recall and how offensive can they be when discussing it? What was Tokyo like? How did Wardrox and Jim survive twelve hours ofSingStarmadness? Has Lauren gone behind the bikesheds with AceyBongos yet?...

Deus Ex: Human Revolutionwas critically acclaimed and considered by many to be a worthy addition to the the Deus Ex legacy. Of course, we’re gamers, which means that some complaintshadto happen. A huge amount of debate is being had overDX:HR‘s inclusion of mandatory boss fights, with some absolutely hating them. The biggest arguments against them stem from the fact that they negate the stealthy, “pacifist” options found elsewhere in the game....

Yeeeeeeah boy! This week’s edition of TVSWID features a special guest star. His name is Grand Master FUC-KNUKKLE and he’s Manchester’s hottest mixy-scratchy-man on the club circuit. He’ll be showing off his pimpin’ moves in this video, which is all aboutDJ Hero, aka the unnecessary piss-take of the music game world. I think this video turned out pretty damn well, so do please verify to watch it if you’ve been a fan of the other ones....

Tomy has released a new line ofMario Karttoys in Japan that may very well race to the top of any importer’s “DO WANT” list. At first they don’t look too special — just another set of remote controlled cars. However, using the power of SCIENCE, these toys are able to take each other out in virtual style. Each car periodically obtains a power-up which lights up on the remote control. The cars themselves have infrared sensors, allowing them to use these invisible shells and bananas on each other....

If there’s one gaming peripheral that could really put you “inside” Sega’sSuper Monkey Ball, it’s the Wii Balance Board. If speculation surrounding a trademark is any indication, this match made in heaven may make this a reality. Spottedby Kotaku’s Michael “I never sent Nick thoseMeatbunshirts I told him I’d send him” McWhertor, Sega recentlyfiled trademarkforSuper Monkey Ball Step & Roll. As you might recall, Sega released a Nintendo DS calledSuper Monkey Ball Touch & Roll....

The newPrince of Persiahas been a point of discussion between the Destructoid editors for its unorthodox approach to in-game death. I, like many of my colleagues didn’t like the system at first, but I’m starting to come around now that I know more about it. In the developer diary above, we’re shown a cool speed drawing of the game’s second boss, and the process involved in creating the animation for the beast....

Buying up developers and adding new fully-owned subsidiaries seems like the cool thing to do lately. Between theBioWare/Pandemic acquisitionandActiBlizzard, I feel like I need to find something to bring under my umbrella corporation, just to fit in with the cool kids. Anyway, the latest financial love party has been thrown, and THQ and Big Huge Games were invited. Big Huge Games, ofRise of NationsandCatanfame, is now a fully-owned subsidiary of THQ, bought for an undisclosed sum....
