The business end of this DIY Kinect stand for the top of your thin televisions is ugly. It’s a good thing that it hides behind your set, where no one will see it. Instructables user Riffraff67 has created this little shelf out of some unlikely parts: a metal plate, PVC pipe and velcro.Joystiqsays that it costs about $10 and requires about 15 minutes of labor. The alternative is a licensed mount that costs $40....
Edmund McMillen is a non-stop productivity machine. He just finishedSpewer, hasSuper Meat Boyin the works for WiiWare, and as it turns out, he’s also almost done withGish 2and an action/comedy/platformer by the name ofHitlers Must Die!. Gishis considered one of the best indie platformers of the past ten years (download the demohereand see for yourself). Not much has been heard about theGishsequel since is was announced in late 2008, and with all of Edmund’s ongoing projects, it wasn’t hard to imagine that the game might be on hold....
According toVentureBeat, Google has developed and already begun testing an “in-game advertising technology” that will stream ads into popular videogames. A demo of the technology revealed a seamless integration for developers and appears to be ready to go whenever Google decides to launch it. The service will be called “AdSense for Games” and will be available for nearly every game medium including “console games, disk-based PC games, web-based PC games and cell phone games....
Excited for picking up your copy ofHalo 3at launch? Spent the extra money for the collector’s tin, ’cause you wanted the hard copy of the artbook? Well, the folks atNeoGAF have some bad newsfor you: by the time you get it open, the discs look like they’ll already be scratched. Perhaps you won’t even need your 360 to put a giant dent in the disc for you. A lot of people are experiencing problems with the way theHalo 3discs are held in the case of the collector’s edition....
So how am I supposed to do write-up on aGuitar Herogame? Everyone has either played it or know of the concept — you press five colored buttons, flip a switch up and down and pretend you’re actually playing a guitar. Actually, that’s pretty good right there. OK, I’m finished with my impressions post! I’m clocking out for the night … No? Not good enough? Fine, I’ll give some more info on the game....
Gearbox is keeping its cards close to its chest before the E3 reveal ofAliens: Colonial Marines. We had ateasing trailer yesterday, and now we get a single bit of artwork. It’s just enough to make me really, really excited. The artwork features some Aliens and some Colonial Marines. Hey, that’s like the thing what the game is called! Colonial Marinesis easily in my top five most wanted E3 games, if not right at the top....

Bethesda has unleashed a new trailer forHunted: The Demon’s Forge, and boy does it ever look like my kind of game. Saucy elves, skeletons, hack n’ slash violence, it’s got the lot. If it also had Rutger Hauer cameo in it, it would be my perfect game. Seriously though, I am pumped for this. Even moreso now, since it appears that Cary Elwes will be playing one half of the heroic mercenary team....
When I was on my plane to Seattle, getting ready to play some games, meet some gamers, and prepare for tomorrow’s Destructoid LIVE panel, I never thought I’d be leaving the first day of PAX with the ability to say that I have playedDuke Nukem Forever. Sometimes things happen that are so bizarre, you don’t know how to process them. I playedDuke Nukem Forevertoday, and I liked it. [Note:Please excuse the poor quality of the photographs....
How’sinFAMOUS 2been going on the user-generated-content front? I honestly couldn’t say! But the first of many UGC updates to come is free, and it’s hopefully going to keep mission makers interested enough to stay with it. The update — which is available now from PlayStation Network — gives creators cars from single-player to tinker with: Bertrand’s Limo, Bertrand’s Semi-Truck, the New Marais Police Car, the Ambulance, and a bike. I can already picture an amazingPunch-Out!...

My last iPhone review blitzkrieg left my phone-hand tired and my mental facilities numb. I became aware that the iPhone has the propensity to have both bright, vibrant and decently fun games. I was also shown just how cheap and flimsy they can be as well. Recently, I’ve had a chance to test a sampling of publisher Project X’s offerings. Overall, I am fairly disappointed. I should have known that I would be displeased with the titles....
