While the trailer for Hudson's Calling had an element of camp to it, I'm willing to believe it could provide some creepy moments. After all, you do play as a generally defenseless characters, whi...

Last week, a survey leaked to Kotaku suggested that Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria would be on the cover of 2K Sports' Major League Baseball 2K10. 2K sent out a press release earlier ...

Tis' the season for gift giving. With some many great games released this year, finding the perfect gift for that gamer in your life (or for yourself, you selfish jerk!) can be quite a task. That...

If there is one thing that people can't seem to agree on in the world of MMOs, it's how games that are designed to be played forever should fund themselves. There are plenty of models out there, ...

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...

We had a bunch of awesome Naruto prizes courtesy of Tomy Corporation to giveaway to some Naruto fans last week. We wanted to give them to real Naruto fans so we asked you all to show us how much ...

It’s Monday morning. Aside from meaning that I need a lot more coffee, fat strippers, and protein to operate than on a normal day of the week, it means a whole new host of Nintendo digital ...

Here's a pet peeve of mine; people with a rose-tinting deification of Ocarina of Time. For me, that game, along with Mario 64, will always symbolize a personal low-point for my feeling of connect...

Yes, I said dance, because the game is about dancing, acting, love, and piloting transforming steam-powered psychic robots. For Chrissakes, your squad is called the New York Combat Revue! Anyway,...

One of the best Super Nintendo games ever, Super Mario Kart, will be hitting the Virtual Console this Monday. The classic racing game will cost you 800 Wii points. Later this holiday season, we c...

Well, are you? We want you to take a picture of yourself in front of whatever Naruto product you own. Whether it be clothing, DVDs, videogames -- even taking a picture of yourself in front of a c...

When I first heard that Capcom's next Resident Evil game was going to be a sequel to the Wii-exclusive Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, I was pretty disappointed. Umbrella Chronicles actua...

Black Friday and all its horror will soon be upon us, and the Internet has gotten its talons on GameStop's list of ludicrous offers. The list is absolutely huge, some great bundles such as a PS3 ...

I think what most pleases me about the release of the "family friendly" LEGO Rock Band, it's that it opens up the platform to all kinds of pop nonsense we might not have ordinarily seen. By "nons...

Don't worry, Atlus may be known for its propensity for importing Japanese cruelty (alonside Shin Megami Tensei games), but they promise that THIS time, with the February 10 release of Shiren the ...

You wouldn't know it by looking at my credit card bills, but I have never been a member of GameFly. I have, however, racked up a bunch of meager transactions over the years whenever they try to p...

Look, when I think of Monster Hunter, the last thing I think about is the high school education system. Apparently I must be in the minority, as Capcom seems to think that Monster Hunter and educ...

If you're waiting for our Tony Hawk: Ride review, sit tight -- we don't even have the game in our hands yet, despite the fact that it's on store shelves.  But you know that famous skat...

The VGAs may be looked at with cynicism and contempt by a great many among the gamer community, but there's no denying that it's about as mainstream an award show as we're going to get. With that...

Apparently EA Sports Active is so important that it deserves its own store. Throughout the run-up to Christmas, Electronic Arts will be operating two stores in San Fransisco and Boston, and EA Sp...

If I was a game I wouldn’t dream of debuting on the same morning two mass marketed follow-ups to unique and successful IPs did. But I’m pretty sure if I was game, I wouldn’t ha...

New Super Mario Brothers Wii has been out for, oh, about 48 hours, but the Wii homebrew scene is already on the case: GBAtemp user Tanks has recreated Level 1-1 from the original Super Mario Bro...

Another week, another batch of downloadable games on the little console that could (and did, and continues to do). If you jump onto the Wii Shop Channel, you'll see the usual addition of Virtual ...

There's finally a Darth Vader Wii Sensor Bar holder. Finally. And it's Vader himself doing the holding work. Like, when I woke up this morning, I had no idea that the day would end with such a fe...

Maybe you're like me and spent your weekend fighting against illness, unable to brave the cold world to pick up a copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Or maybe you're just not yet convinced after ...

I don't generally like wartime FPSes. In fact, I'd say that the "normal guy with guns shooting other normal guys with guns" genre is my least favorite in all of videogame-dom, starting with Golde...

While the "Super Guide" -- which you can now see for yourself in the recently released New Super Mario Bros. Wii -- is something many of us will never encounter accidentally, it's going to be hel...

In case you own The Beatles: Rock Band and for some reason don't know what Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band sounds like, Harmonix, MTV Games, and Apple Corp. would like to remind you. That'...

Capcom's Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles hits shelves tomorrow, and while Jonathan Holmes will have our full review later in the week, I wanted to give you a quick glimpse of what yo...

Flip on your Wii (ha!), head on over to the Wii Shop Channel, and under WiiWare, search "demo." What you'll see is five shiny new demos from the lovely folks at Nintendo. Their goal is to give ga...

So, I took a five-hour bus ride to New York City yesterday to do some video coverage of the New Super Mario Bros. Wii launch event at the Nintendo World Store. It was supposed to be a four-hour b...

The Tampa Bay Rays may have missed out on the playoffs this year, but the team’s third baseman, Evan Longoria (no relation to actress Eva Longoria) may be cashing in on his two very good ye...

The guys at High Voltage have been a bit silent since E3 and the launch of The Conduit. After announcing The Grinder and Gladiator A.D. I'm sure they're hard at work actually developing those gam...

I have never played Phalanx. The SNES/Sharp X68000 computer game was never something I had the pleasure of playing. Beyond the fact that it's a space shooter I know absolutely nothing about it. N...

2D shmups are back with a vengeance these days, while 3D shmup releases are at an all time low. For my money, the last truly great game in the genre was Panzer Dragoon Orta on the original Xbox. ...

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is almost out and despite all the media Capcom has been releasing over the weeks, there's still some surprises to be had. Remember in Resident Evil 2 how y...

No doubt about it -- a lot of Hero games came out this year. The list, in full: Guitar Hero: Metallica; Guitar Hero 5; Band Hero; DJ Hero; Band Hero for the Nintendo DS; Guitar Hero: Modern ...

The final day of our A Boy & His Blob contest is upon us! Our winners so far are MoX, Tragy and Justice! I need shipping addresses for you all, so please use Destructoid's brand new frontpage...

When Resident Evil 5 was announced for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, everyone asked -- how about a Wii version? At the time, it didn't seem likely. In fact, the words "not possible" ...

If you thought that The Beatles: Rock Band downloadable content that was announced earlier today was the only time I'd be writing about Rock Band DLC today, you're wrong. Thank god, because serio...

Next week, the second full album by The Beatles will be available for download for The Beatles: Rock Band, Harmonix/MTV Games/Apple Corp. announced today.  The Beatles' 1967 record, Sgt. Pep...

Konami has finally put a firm date on Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for the Wii -- December 8. How appropriate, considering the game's icy setting.  If your arms tire out easily, but you s...

Whether you like it or not, the push towards a mostly-digital game industry is ahead of us. It may not be next year, it may not be in the next five years... but it's coming.  Brick and morta...

For completionists, collecting all of the Gold Coins in New Super Mario Bros. Wii (there are three in each world) won't simply be a matter of saying "I did it."  The coins act as currency, ...

Capcom knows that standard trailers are so last year. You sit back, some stuff happens on the screen, and then it's over. Maybe you see some gameplay, maybe you don't. Neat.  So the publishe...

It's day three of the big, fat, wobbly, sexy, delicious, erotic A Boy & His Blob giveaway. Yet another day brings yet another copy of the game, plus a delightful art book, which we shall awar...

Good gaming gods, last week's debate was epic, and I do not use that word lightly. I had to go through all 235 comments twice, just to make sure no tallying mistakes were made. The outcome broke ...

A final retail copy of New Super Mario Wii arrived today, and as promised, the box is fancy.  Unlike the normal, boring white boxes that most Wii games come in, New Super Mario Wii will hit ...

Day two of our big A Boy & His Blob competition begins! Yesterday you all contested for a copy of A Boy & His Blob plus a kick-ass art book, with MoX becoming the 500th poster and snaggin...

I can't believe I'm about to write this, but... Majesco has announced that its bringing Pizza Delivery Boy to the Wii. Apparently part of some secret industry initiative to bring every modern pro...

Silver-haired king of Electronic Arts, John Riccitiello, has confessed that his company is feeling frustration over the current performance of a "weak" Wii, with Nintendo's smash-hit superconsole...

With all the hype and controversy about terrorists doing evil terrorists things involving terror, addictive multi-player and shiny graphics -- Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has showered in a cra...

How does an indie developer grab our attention? Well, throw around the names of games like Flower and Pikmin, of course. Developer Onteca is saying its upcoming WiiWare title, Monsteca Corra...

Maybe. Probably not. Okay, not really. [Warning: Contains foul language.] Dinosaurs.

Last Friday, we passed along information about this week's Rock Band Music Store update, which included The White Stripes, Kasabian, and The Damned. Well, surprise -- there's more.  Today, t...

Nintendo is encouraging any and all fans to celebrate the launch of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and it's shaping up to be one helluva neat shindig. On November 14, from 3:00 - 7:00 PM, you'll have...

Rght around the time that WiiWare was just becoming known to the public, a little company in New Hampshire called Medaverse Studios announced that they would be jumping in on the fun with a game ...
