Finally, I know when my 3DS is likely to have some value to me as more than the sexy thing that sits in a cradle on my desk. NIS America has announced today thatCave Story 3Dwill be releasing on Nintendo’s new toy in North America on August 9th, 2011. While no firm date for Europe was given, NIS has stated that region will receive the game a month later. I’m desperate to know how this turns out....
NFL superstar and millionaire Chad Johnson is a unique man, who apparently really knows how to shop for his loved ones. Johnson, who may or may not have changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco, was spotted at a Best Buy in Kentucky today buying a copy ofRock Band 2. Not one to miss out on aBlack Friday deal, Johnson said the game as well as a stereo and Cuisinart four-slice toaster were for his coach....
Robert Florence is a name that several of our British readers will recognize. He’s the creator ofConsolevania(example above) andVideoGaiden, two silly shows that have entertained many in spite of their mainstream obscurity. Florence has now been picked up by Microsoft, who is using him to pimp out something even more obscure — Xbox Indie Games. The Independint Charles Show(spelling intentional) is a new Xbox Live video series that aims to highlight the best titles on the Indie Games Channel....
It’s a slow news day, so let me take the opportunity to share with you someirrelevant garbagedug out from a dark corner of the Internet. Did you know that the Sega Mega Drive classicVectorManwas once going to be a movie? Didn’t you? Well itwas! On July 05, 2025, Sega of America announced that it had signed a deal with Ideal Entertainment for movie, TV and merchandising rights toVectorMan. The film was described as “Toy Story-like” in presentation while the IP itself was lauded by Ideal Entertainment as “suitable for mass exploitation....
Relic and THQ are releasing a standalone version ofWarhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II‘s popular The Last Stand mode to Steam for $10, titledWarhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Retribution – The Last Standalone.This also makes it the longest, most ridiculous title to ever not fit in a headline. If you’re unfamiliar with it, The Last Stand is a top-down arena mode where you co-op with two other players to take down increasingly difficult waves of Warhammer 40k enemies....
Starting on September 8, you can save a good $20 by purchasingDead Rising,Lost Planet: Colonies Edition, andDevil May Cry 4together in one Capcom lovefest bundle that’s making it to retail at $39.99. Now is as good of time as any to pick up these fine wares, if you ask me. I happen to be one of the few humans on this planet that didn’t fall head over heels forDead Rising(I still liked it; don’t kill me!...
In the past few days,you’ve hearda lot about the2009 Electronics Entertainment Expo, or as we’re calling it,The New New E3. Unfortunately, it looks like some outlets have got their wires crossed on what’s actually going down next year in Los Angeles from June 2nd through 4th. Will the public be allowed in? Do you need a press pass? Most importantly, will there be booth babes? Destructoid was able to speak with the best person to set us straight on everything E3, the Entertainment Software Association’s President, Michael Gallagher....
If the members of KISS can have their faces on a lunchbox, and Aerosmith has its name attached to multiple games, why not 50 Cent? Say what you will about his music, but Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson III should be recognized as a shrewd businessman. From music to movies, clothing to Vitamin Water, the man’s put his name and G-Unit “branding” on more than a few products. And then in 2005, Sierra published50 Cent: Bulletproof, a third-person action shooter that was received as mediocre by most critics and gamers alike....
This past Friday night details onHalo: Reach‘s multiplayer mode “Invasion” were dropped on GameTrailers TV (above) and does it sound cool. The mode is only available in Boneyard and is jam packed with vehicles and other cool toys to grab. Throughout a match the multi-tiered level will open up with each level unlocking and various weapons and loudouts becoming available as they do. On top of explaining how the new multiplayer mode will function, the guys at Bungie snuck in our first look at the human grenade launcher and the plasma launcher....
Awhile backwe announcedthat Showtime’skillerseries,Dexter,would be hitting the iPhone. The only thing we knew at the time was that Marc Ecko Entertainment was in on it. Now, we have a few more meager details to sift through. The game will be based on the television show (surprise) and feature crime scene analysis and the choice between murder and litigation. If it sounds odd, it’s probably because it is. The attached press release says that the game will “emphasize” investigation and then allow players to make the moral-bound killing choices that Dexter has, until this current season, made quite easily....
Seriously, a box of straw. I’m not sure if this is the best or worst marketing idea I’ve seen so far, but considering my carpet now has dirt and grit all over it after opening this package unawares, I’m learning toward the latter opinion. Nevertheless, I have to praise the sheer effort that went into this.Dragon Age: Originswas found buried in the straw, in an envelope that had a wax seal on it....
I grew up on Nintendo’sGame & Watchtitles. Living in Japan at the time, it didn’t take me long to pull a “I need that” with my parents, especially since all the Japanese kids were carrying these around. I had them, loved them, and sometimes wish I still owned them. Little 200 DSi Point download versions have been released in Japan this year, but we’ve been left hanging. We’re still kind of hanging, but Australia isn’t....
ThePokemon Mystery Dungeongames have been pretty okay by me. They’re at least something different than the normal formula, and I really like being able to take that little peek into the world of wild Pokemon. They totally exploit my weakness for cute creatures working together to help other cute creatures. But what’s weird about this game is that it seems to be a third addition to last year’s tandem release ofExplorers of TimeandExplorers of Darkness....
