Are you a fan ofScott Pilgrim? If not, you should be — it’s a funny, well written graphic novel series filled with clever video game references. You should also be excited that, this afternoon, Ubisoft announced they are making a video game to coincide with the upcoming movie. Unfortunately, the press release says almost nothing interesting beyond the fact that a game is, in fact, being made. The vast majority of the release is them trying to pimp the movie, and blathering on about how formerly awesomeArrested Developmentstar turned pretentious indie “I’m too good for everything” überdouche Michael Cera will star....

The labyrinthine prisonNathan DrakeJason Flemming navigated to save his woman of interest, Clair, wasn’t designed in a day. Nor was it designed, at first, on a computer. TheShadow Complexteam designed the game’s complicatedMetroid-style map with their fingers, putting to paper even the little things like every metallic nook and cranny as well as secret and not-so-secret item available in the facility.

A new bunch ofShinobiscreenshots have dripped down from Gamescom and now we’re posting them on the Internet, along with about 35,000 other blogs. Our images look better though, because ofDestructoid Graphix. The screens show off all sorts of ninja fun, as our hero flips out and kills everything. Should be a good little game, especially with the focus it’s put on being as old school as possible. Looking forward to it!...

I suppose when you’re CEO of one of the gaming industry’s largest publishers, when you say stuff — no matter how crazy it might sound — people take notice. When Activision’s Bobby Kotick said the publisher “might want to consider if we support” Sony’s consoles in the future, heads turned.Our comments exploded. Sony, on the other hand, remains calm and completely non-confrontational in its response. “PlayStation has tremendous momentum coming out of E3, and we are seeing positive growth with more than 350 titles slated to hit across all our platforms, including many anticipated games from our publishing partners,” a spokesperson toldIndustryGamers....

The other day we ran a story about Nigeria’s ludicrousdecision to be offended by a jokeabout the infamous “Nigerian Letter” scam in Sony’s latest PS3 commercials. While most reasonable people would expect Sony to ignore such a stupid and needless complaint, it’s transpired that Sonyhas lost its ballsand apologized to the country for its perfectly acceptable joke. Not only that, the line has been cut from the advert. The line has been changed....

Sony, like an evil mastermind,has claimedthat a PSP without a UMD drive was its sinister plot from the very beginning. While stroking a white cat, product planning chief Naoya Matsui swiveled in a massive black chair and confirmed that the PSPgo was always a part of the company’s original vision, it was just waiting for the right moment to strike. “We’d planned to release a PSP model without a UMD drive since the very beginning,” gloats Matsui....

Surely you’ve already heard of the PlayStation NetworkgamePain. Players know that the game features the ultimate in human slingshotting technology, but what you may know is that the billboards that your shot character whizzes by are capable of showing varied ads that can be changed at any time. Adweeksays that Sony wants to chargedifferent rates to advertisers based on how many people are playing the game.

We’re not sure if it’s just a slip of the tongue, but Sony’s Sir Howard Stringer told Cnet’sNews.comthat the PlayStation 3 will launch in Europe in April and not in March, delaying the console even more for European fans. You might shrug off that it’s just a month, but considering the reaction the fans gave the first delay news, this can’t be sitting well with thoseGran Turismolads. Here’s what Stringer said:...

I was excited just hearing about stellar PC adventureSyberiamaking it to the DS in port form, but word of a third Syberia title on PC was even more cause to celebrate, at least for this fan of adventure games.

Microïds president Emmanuel Olivier has spoken out in regards to the future of the title on PS3 with a letter, which you may read after the jump, addressing Sony’s involvement with Microïds titles....
