Man forgets Game Boy Light exists, mods backlight into Game Boy Pocket

Outside of the Game Boy Micro, I feel Nintendo has done a pretty great job of designing and selling iterations of the Game Boy that have left its predecessors in the dust. I was happy to see the fat body and spinach colors of the original Game Boy eventually give way to the Game Boy Color. And as much as I loved the Game Boy Advance, I never looked back when I picked up the Game Boy Advance SP on its launch day....

Minecraft-inspired Lords of Uberdark looks delightful

[Update 8/7 Noon EST: Donation goal surpassed at $21,375 of $20,000 with 9 hours to go.] Minecrafthas been a quickly rising hit over the past year. The game centers around mining, and building, and more generally, simply surviving. This has led to one of the few complaints of the game to some people, with the lack of any clear cut goals. My attention was recently brought to the work-in-progressLords of Uberdark, which seeks to take the mining and building aspects ofMinecraftand apply them to a team-based real-time-strategy formula....

Monster Hunter Frontier Online screenshots LOOK AT THEM!

Monster Hunter Frontier Onlineis coming to the Xbox 360, at least in Japan. That’s pretty good news, and we’re hoping it goes worldwide, since Xbox Live is the perfect platform for Capcom’s co-op dinosaur murder game. Stealing eggs and cooking their mothers is always better done with a friend. Anyway, here are some new screens that show off a selection of fierce creatures. Giant scorpions and thorny dragons are the order of the day, so use the eyes on your face to look at them for a bit and then go look at something else when you’re done....

My new hotness: New Dokapan Kingdom screens

Play with up to four players on a game board, as you run around collecting items, working to beat down monsters for cash. The money-crazed king needs to collect his taxes, but monsters are in the way. Because of this, he has offered up his princess to the one who can take down the most monsters....

Namco Bandai brings Mr Driller to Japanese Wiis

Normally I bemoan the fact that Japan gets so many cool games that never make it to US shores, but I have a feeling with this one we may see it eventually. Famitsu Magazine reported thatMr Driller Worldis coming to WiiWare in Japan next week, retailing for 800 Wii points. After the disappointing experience ofplaying a rather broken version of Mr Driller on Xbox Live last year, I could definitely go for a new version of the addictive series....

Never fear: Guitar Hero III Wii will have online play at launch

Despite previous reports indicating otherwise, RedOctane hasset the record straight with 1UP. The Wii version ofGuitar Hero III: Legends of Rock— like all other versions of the title — will support online play out of the box. The confusion arose earlier in the week whenProG reportedRedOctane President Kai Huang as saying “There won’t be online initially for the Wii.” Seems pretty clear, right? Apparently, Huang was referring to the game’s imminent downloadable content; given the storage limitations of the Wii (limited internal storage, no established external peripheral), this could pose to be a challenge for RedOctane....

Only 2% of Brits interested in 3DTV

As the game industry gears up for the so-called “future” of videogames, yet more evidence has appeared to suggest that videogame publishers are putting the cart before the horse. A new survey reveals that only 2% of British consumers are interested in a 3DTV, let alone 3D gaming. 89 people out of the 4199 polled are considering purchasing a 3DTV. Whether this is due to expense or a simple apathy toward the entire gimmick, one cannot be sure, but the numbers state that people aren’t swallowing the hype, in any case....

Overdue: Hot Shots Golf gets new characters

After I review a new title for Destructoid, it’s usually shelved after we run the review, as I move on to the next title. This is not the case forHot Shots Golf: Out of Boundsfor the PlayStation 3; I still play it nightly. I adore every aspect except one: the characters’ quirks. In this version, the golfers look and sound better than they ever have before. And you can change their clothes, swing styles, and even equipment....
