Did you watch the Super Bowl? I didn’t. Apparently,Robot Anna Kournikovawas winning, last I asked on Twitter. Oh, and there were some commercials that people were excited about, too. Beer commercials. Commercials for guys who like doing guy things, apparently. Like washing themselves with soap. And Disney’s upcomingPrince of Persia: The Sands of Timefilm, featuring Jake Gyllenhaal and that pretty girl whose name I don’t know. (Update: It’s Ben Kingsley.)...

As gaming enthusiasts, we’ll never forget that initial reveal trailer forDead Island. Gripping, emotional, and beautifully crafted, it was a haunting promo that put Techland’s first-person role-playing game on almost everyone’s radar. But in the end, it was a trailer that wasn’t truly representative of the actual game. We’re confident that our version better illustrates the trueDead Islandexperience. Enjoy.

E3 was home to many things. Colors, shapes, sounds, bright flashing lights, all the things that gamers love. However, the biggest news to come from that week was not to be found on the show floor, at a press conference, or during a behind-closed-doors screening. No, the biggest news of E3 came from our hotel. Destructoid has become obsessed with the reality TV showCheaters. The mixture of sleaze and false piety is a winning combination, aided by the smarmy shit-stirring of Joey “Nick Chester in a cult leader’s uniform” Greco....

The CESA has just announced the date for the 2010 Tokyo Game Show: September 16-19. While that’s usually nice fall weather here in America, early to mid September in Chiba is still usually muggy and hot. In recent years they’ve played around with the date a bit. I loved when it was in October. Bring deodorant. Check. Not to be outdone with Germany’s Gamescom convention, TGS 2010 will now host the Asia Games Business Summit....

Just an FYI for everyone that picked upinFAMOUS— you can now put that shinyUncharted 2promotional code that came in the case to good use by downloading the beta client. (And since the 1282 MB download should take a good 20 minutes to download and install, feel free to keep reading Destructoid’s continuingE3 coverage.) Once installed, you may jump right into Matchmaking — there’re Custom Game and Cinema options as well, but they aren’t selectable — and enter into either the Beta Competitive Playlist (Deathmatch and Murder game modes) or the Beta Cooperative Playlist (Objective Cooperative mode),...
