Milo Ventimiglia ofHeroesand “Rocky Balboa’s son” fame will be lending his pipes to one of the new recruit mutants in the upcomingX-Men Destiny. Ventimiglia will be voicing Grant, who the actor says “wants to play football” and is a real all-American kind of boy. Unfortunately, he’s got mutant powers, which I’d imagine would be an issue in the NFL. The actor will bejoiningJamie Chung and Scott Porter, who are also lending their voices to the game, which isout September 27....

To a fan of all things sci-fi,X-Com, and mobile games that are worth a damn,Star Commandlooks as fapworthy as it gets. It’s even being developed for iOSandAndroid! To make sure the game will actually be as good as it can be, Warballoon has started aKickstarterfor the game. The goal of $20,000 within a month for a mobile game might be a bit on the high side, but you can’t blame them for reaching for the stars....

You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised video game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. This is one of the most creative teaser themes I’ve ever come up with, so the theme this week is probably going to stick out pretty quick. To make up for the easy theme I made one of the teasers really obscure to slow you guys down a bit....

There’s a huge gap in my gaming knowledge when it comes to the GameBoy Color handheld. When it was present in the portable landscape, I was absent. At that time, I was spending most of my time on console and PC gaming. As a result, I had never heard ofShantaeuntil therecent announcementthat the revival of the half-genie platforming game would be hitting the DSiWare service next month. If that sounds like a lot for a DSiWare title, you’re right....

Crikey and other stereotypical Australian things to say!It looks likemost Australians actually want to play mature games. Who knew!? After a recentpoll of public opinionconducted by the Australian government 98 percent of the 59,678 people who voted want a R18+ rating to be established. Establishing this rating is important because at the moment the rating system doesn’t go above 15 and up, meaning that mature games don’t get rated and thus are pretty much banned from the country....

So, is that reallyFinal FantasydaddyHironobu Sakaguchi? Maybe. The game doesn’t really come right out and say it, but it sure looks like him, minus the fancy head hair. The facial hair? Spot on. This could have been a tribute to the producer, or it could just be coincidence. Hell, if you look at it for a bit, it even looks like Lau Chan fromVirtua Fighter. This shot, and all the others below, come fromKingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, the newest in the series, set to release on the PSP in Japan in January....

This week belongs to Capcom with the release of their high-flying combat game,Dark Void. It’s a seamless ground-to-air action game that may or may not make you vomit all over yourself. Personally, I’m looking forward toDark Void Zeroon the DSi. Not much else is out this week, folks. Hit the break to see the full list of releases. What’s looking sw33t to you? PS3:Dark Void DSi:Dark Void Zero DS:Starship Patrol, Shepherd’s Crossing 2, Glory of HeraclesPSP:Silent Hill: Shattered Memories,Silent Hill: Shattered Memories...

This is another big week for the still-shiny Steam Mac client, as it’s getting what are undeniably essential games in many of our eyes:Half-Life 2($6.99),Episode One($5.59),Episode Two($5.59), andEVE Online: Tyrannis. At the time of writing, only those first three were up for purchase. In typical Steam fashion, theHalf-Life 2titles are all 30 percent off, make use of cross-platform saving, and if you happen to own them for PC already, you won’t need to fork over the cash a second time — they are a part of “Steam Play....

After a few weeks of teasing, Crystal Dynamic’s newTomb Raidertitle has been revealed. Simply calledTomb Raider(that’s how we do series reboots these days), the details of the game will be revealed in the next issue ofGame Informer. As rumored, the title will follow a young Lara Croft who finds herself washed up on a mysterious island when a storm destroys a boat she was traveling on. As the only survivor, Lara is put to the test as she fights for survival....

Blood squirting decapitations, pounding techno music, over the top sword battles! And this game will be up on my shelf right next toElebits. WTF, indeed.I am one of the few people in this world that actually bought, let aloneloved,Killer 7on the GameCube. I thought it was a very stylized, sleek piece of pop video game art. When I heard the creator of that hidden gem,Suda 51, was making a spiritual sequel on the Wii I was more than excited....

Really, a trailer like this for a Nintendo DS game — this one for Renegade Kid’sMoon— doesn’t come around very often. The epic voice over, and the bumping original music. That music! Damn, man, you hear that bass? Makes me want to start a party right here, right now. You know, with a lot of grinding and drugs. Or whatever it is the kids are doing these days. Oh, and the game doesn’t look half bad either....

Have you bought the little Motion Plus doingle for your Wii remote yet? If you want to play the newZelda, then you’re going to have to. The next time we travel to Hyrule on the Wii, we will only be able to do so with the Motion Plus accessory. “After actually making it compatible,” explains producer Eiji Aonuma, “it just feels so natural. Link’s sword and the controller that you’re holding become one....

ACE Team has today revealed a brand new trailer for its upcoming and increasingly desired first-person-brawler,Zeno Clash. This obscure indie game has gone from a confusing little trailer to becoming one of the Destructoid community’s most highly anticipated PC titles, and from the looks of this demented footage, the anticipation is well deserved. The new video details a few new characters, presumably all children of the hermaphrodite villain Father Mother. Unchained to reality, each one of these “Corwids of the Free” are stark raving mad....
