Look with interest at these winners for our “F .. K in the coffee”Deadly Premonitioncontest. At the beginning of the week, we charged Destructoid readers with the task of FK’ing in their coffee for a chance to win a copy ofDeadly Premonitionfor the Xbox 360, along with a promo poster. It was a hard fought contest, but we have finally picked three winners, haven’t we Zach? Here are the three winners that stood out, crisp as a clear spring morning:...

We told you it was coming, and we just wanted to give you a heads up: theMother 3fan translation project is complete! “After more than 13 years of waiting, the sequel toEarthBoundis now in English!” writesTomato. “We tried our very best to make a worthy translation, and I think we came close to hitting that mark. With any luck, the translation will seem just as “strange, funny, and heartrending” as the original Japanese version....
I don’t know why anyone would pass on Valve’sThe Orange Box(we hear it’s a pretty good game), but if you have, or you’re a bit broke right now, maybe the absolutely freePortal: The Flash Versionwill entertain you for a bit. Actually, it should entertain for more than just “a bit”, as this Flash game has 40+ levels packed in, and some of them are said to be really difficult. The We Create Stuff staffis working on walkthroughsfor the harder levels already....
As the launch of the Closed Beta of Nexon America’s newest free-to-play MMORPG,Dungeon Fighter Online, drew closer, I found myself still interested in the game but wondering if it would push all my MMO buttons. Meaning, the ones that make me quit after dumping countless hours of my life into an MMO and realizing that I’m technically not getting anywhere (unless you count getting somewhere as an eternity of grinding). But it boasted the 2D sidescrolling look that I’m so fond of!...
LovedThe Tester? Hated it to death? Were totally indifferent to its existence? Well, it doesn’t matter what you thought about it, because Sony’s green lit a second season ofThe Tester, set to air this fall on the PlayStation Network. Not much else has been announced yet, but my best guess is that it’ll be pretty similar to the first series, except with a new cast and probably a few new challenges....
TheForza 4party at E3 last night was home to over a dozen cars worth millions of dollars each. I’ve never seen Dale North happier, like ever. He wouldn’tshut up about Audi this and GT-Rthat. I have no idea what any of that meant butI do know that theForzaparty gave out the best swag ever. Seriously, check it out. INTERIOR DETAILER CLEANER! This is great! My car is dirty as F*CK!...
I was so hypnotized (LIKE A COBRA!) by the full orchestra playingZeldamusic at the Nintendo press conference this morning, that I didn’t really get a chance to concentrate on all the new footage shown ofThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Swordplayed during the show’s opening montage. But I just got back from playing the game, and I have to say … oh, you aren’t getting my thoughtsthateasily. Keep reading! Spoiler alert: THE GAME IS AWESOME!...
Despite sluggish sales and lukewarm critical reception, EA Sports isn’t giving up on its MMA franchise. Speaking with wrestling siteFigure Four Online, EA Sports associate producer Jeff Ecker says the series will most definitely continue. There aren’t much details outside of Ecker declaring “There is definitely going to be anEA Sports MMA 2,” but the confirmation should be enough to excite fans of EA’s initial foray into the world of professional fighting....
Some early, pre-release footage ofSuper Mario Bros. 3has made it to the Internet, and it looks a bit different than the classic we love. It comes from an episode of the Japanese videogame video series,Famimaga, which was released on VHS back in the 80s as a supplement to the Famicom-centric magazine of the same name. The preview shows off some familiar levels along with a host of areas that went unused in the final game....
Look, we’re not here to say which reviews are right or wrong, and we’re not saying that opinions aren’t important, butEdge‘s review ofLet’s Tapis wrong and the opinions are completely unimportant. With this in mind, we definitely recommend that you ignore the desperate-for-attention, we’re-going-to-prove-our-elite-status so-called “review” fromEdgethat has the entire Internet talking. I’m not linking to it because it doesn’t deserve to be linked to. Let’s just say thatLet’s Tapgot an 8....
While the name wastrademarked by Konami not long ago, here is your confirmation —Castlevania: Order of Ecclesiahas beenrated by the ESRB, and will be coming to the Nintendo DS. While we have no further information, we have to assume it will involve hunting vampires (or some form of Count Dracula), and that there will probably be a castle of some sort. Also, you might be able to unlock an upside down version of the castle once the game is complete....
New to Destructoid? On Fridays we like to give readers a chance to make up awesome video game ideas of their own. In the past, writer RevAnthony has single handedly predicted theL.A. NoireandFirefly MMOgames months before they went public (we still like to think the game industry is spying on our genius ideas). But your ideas definitely don’t need to be serious, we also welcome the craziest plots you’re able to come up with, in fact we challenge you to outdo our writers’ best worst game ideas....
