Only on Destructoid: When I first heard that No More Heroes was coming to the PS3/360, I was totally shocked. Porting a two-year-old Wii game to HD consoles? It's ludicrous, unheard of, and potentially brilliant. Whi... 107 comments

Seeing tattoos like this makes me wonder if there's some user-friendly shortcut filter in Photoshop I'm not aware of, whereby people can make vector images look like actual tattoos with minimal effort. Because if not, that means someone spent entirely too much time in Adobeland for the purpose of a bad joke.
Or worse, that someone -- out there somewhere -- actually did this dumb shit to themselves.
Jonathan Holmes believes No More Heroes coming to the Xbox 360 and the PS3 is a victory for the Wii. Is he right?
Get a taste of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Conrad reviewed a Wiimote gun add-on, Dale checked out some iPhone games, take a look at our Black Friday round-up, Blizzard is teasing something and more happened on 11/23/09.
The fifth episode of Robert Ashley's A Life Well Wasted is nearly upon us. For those unfamiliar, it's described as an Internet radio show, which is about right. It's certainly no cookie cutter podcast about videogames.
Anyway, for episode five's release, the highly-talented Olly Moss designed a slick poster that's very relevant to your interests. It's packed full of lots of great references, many of which are game-related.
You might recognize Moss from the equally rad "Spoilt" t-shirt or his "Shoot the Baddies" poster. It's not like this post has enough plugs already, so here's one more. This new poster goes on sale tomorrow, so be on the lookout.
So, I recently got to play a beta of Super Meat Boy, and it was awesome. I haven't played a game with this much impending death in a long time. So far, it seems the Super Meat Boy world is pretty much made up of five things; you, the walls, the floor, giant buzz-saws, and cute little bunnies (who frequently jump into the buzz saws).
Oh, and blood. Lots and lots of blood.
From the looks of it, the game's first boss will do well to keep with the game's bloody, saw-filled feel. From the looks of it, the thing is basically a giant chainsaw with feet. Why hasn't this been done before? It's such an obviously good idea; a chainsaw with feet. Here is it, 2009, and this is the first time I've seen one.
Want to simulate the feeling of fighting this boss right now? Well, you can start by making chainsaw-sounds with your mouth while squirting ketchup all over your computer monitor. If that's not enough, you could listen to the actual theme music for the boss, which can be found right here. If you really wanted to go for it, I guess you could do all three. Just don't let anybody catch you while you're at it. They might think you're weird.

Now you -- just like we did with mouths wide open and drool dripping from the corners of our full lips -- can navigate the ME2 Web site with relative ease. Say “goodbye” to browsing inconveniences and “hello” to brilliant pathways for the best possible ME2 page viewing. Truly, this is an awesome surprise.
It sure has been quiet on the Demigod front lately. You know what that means -- time for a patch!
Ready for download as of today, v1.2 is an exciting development for anyone deeply routed in the game's inner workings. The biggest addition is an all-new playable demigod, the Demon Assassin. Based on the name, he sounds like he's all about getting business done.
Other patch highlights include improved support for mods -- a new mod manager and system -- and beyond that, it's a bunch of smaller tweaks intended to better balance the game.
Stardock has got the full notes here, along with a tease: another new demigod called Oculus is due in the coming weeks.
Now that we're done with the mushy feelings involved with last week's series of emotional mind teaser games, it's time for another brainiac physics puzzle game! This one offers fifteen levels that will teach and torment you with eighteen physics tools, and even allows you to make your own puzzle levels.
In the past few weeks you've all been very attentive to the music in each of the games, and this one won't disappoint. It's got very loopable music akin to the Millennium Force audio playing at Cedar Point as you board your ride, and each puzzle interaction has plenty of fun sound effects as well.
However, here's a small warning: sometimes the later levels can glitch and become either unbeatable, or beatable in incorrect ways, due to malfunctioning level code. I contacted the maker a few months ago but never heard back, so keep an eye out for it in case it hasn't been fixed -- just restart the level if you notice it happening. Even with those minor flaws it's still a great flash game worth your time.
Awhile back, Sega teamed up with Maxim to trick women into dressing up like Bayonetta to win a 50 inch Panasonic TC-P50X1 HDTV Plasma TV and a copy of Bayonetta for the Xbox 360.
Well, a winner has been chosen, and it's Andrea Bonaccorso. Bonaccorso says that when she was nine, she begged her mom for a Sega Genesis, and then become obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog, Toe Jam and Earl, and (random much?) Rolo to the Rescue. In 2009, she dressed in black, found a fake gun, put on some glasses, and won a television. Good for her.
While congratulations are in order for Andrea, her win is suspect. Taking a look at the list of top nine entrants chosen by Maxim, one who goes by the name of Sydney, went all out. I'm talking like, hardcore cosplay get-up. What gives?
Ever wanted to eat brains? Run with a limp? Star in a cheap videogame promotion as an awkward zombie who may have just finished a helping brains and then has his head smashed in by a pre-order-only baseball bat? Well, have we found just thing for you: the GameStop “Leave Yourself Left 4 Dead” promotional video.
To get in on this potential bit of hilarity, simply follow this link and click on “Become a Zombie,” a second link that is directly underneath GameStop’s video player.
In turn, this allows a likeness of your face to be shown during the short promotional video starring Left 4 Dead 2 protagonist Nick knocking the stuffing out of a zombie’s head. Well -- we guess it’s your head at some point. Have fun with this, but remember, we don't trust people who have turned or look like they might in the near future. Unless you're Michelle Rodriguez, then you'll get a free pass.
Borderlands DLC “The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned” is set to launch rather soon, as in tomorrow soon, over Xbox LIVE and PSN. As announced moons ago, this first bit of content has players traveling to Dr. Ned’s trashy island in order to purge the place of its zombies, pumpkin-head-dudes, Tankensteins, and other colorful enemies.
According to the 2K marketing folk, game owners should expect dozens of new missions and several more hours of play with this DLC. But don’t go into this expecting new weapons or a higher level cap. Neither of these things are going to happen to our knowledge.
Regardless, the content looks like a blast. The latest teaser (shown above) showcases some of the Halloween-themed locales, including a bent Jaokob’s facility and a twisted graveyard -- two places we’re eager to beserk through on the morrow depending on how our zombie-saturation meter reads. Green means good to go. Orange? Not so much.

We're not even sure if it's news, but we've written about far less in the past, so here I go. Blizzard's Official Warcraft Twitter account is teasing something for this Thursday.
What? We already said what -- "something." Pay attention. The tweet, posted today, reads "It’s Coming - 11/25," and is accompanied by the above picture. No, I don't know what that is. I think I see a piece of rope or a spine... or both.
Maybe it's birthday cake -- World of Warcraft is officially five-years-old today; the game launched on November 23, 2004, ruining (or making) the holidays for families across the globe. What could it be? Any thoughts? Let us know what you think (or know).
All these Black Friday deals are a bitch to keep track of. That's what we're here for, though. Over the past few weeks we've been reporting on some good deals, but having to hop around our fine website to find them all isn't going to help you get your shopping done any easier.
We've made a list of the most notable items for sale this Friday. We've also compiled a list of stores running holiday deals. On top of all of that is a link to all of our Black Friday reports. We'll keep updating these lists throughout the week, so keep checking back. If you see any good ones we've missed, let me know.
Earlier this weekend, I decided to drop the weights and pick up the Dual Shock. This kind of recreation isn’t anything new, but the thing I chose to play sort of is: the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PS3-exclusive beta. Above is ten sweet, sweet minutes from my second match of that afternoon.
One thing you’ll notice in this latest Ten Minute Taste is that the Attacker side didn’t know what they were doing, or at least, didn’t care about the objectives. My team and I were in their spawn as a result, giving them some hell with bullets and fire from our armor. It was a spanking, no doubt.
Even though Florence and assassins have dominated my free time from Sunday afternoon on, I’m still thinking about BF:BC2. I obviously dug it and am planning to jump back into it in the near future. What do you guys think about the beta? The TMT? Chocolate pudding? Tell us.
"I like the look of it. Sorta resembles "metal-gear-ish" graphics. Large open expanses are just my sort of thing. If I have any money left over from MAG, I'll try this game for sure."...
Game makers really want to use the DSi cameras, it seems. Konami's latest announcement uses them in a sort of RPG mechanic.
Foto Showdown has players snapping pictures with the DSi cameras. From these photos, monsters with the same primary colors are spawned. Remember Monster Rancher? It's kind of like that, but instead of generating data (monsters) from CDs, it comes from images. Konami says that there are more than 100 levels to battle through, using your generated monsters against various opponents' ones. Your monsters gain strength each time they're used. In all, there are 152 different monsters to collect.
Konami is bringing this out early next year for the DSi.
