More Metroid Prime? Maybe a DS/DSi game, says Nintendo Right now, all sights are set on Other M, the beautiful Wii Metroid game that is set to be released next year. But what about Metroid Prime? Was it all over with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption? Mayb...
The newest addition to my office wall What the buck? Exactly. We get lots of things in the mail. Games, mostly. But games makers and PR companies send us all manner of things. I wasn't exactly surprised to see a massive inflatable bu...

Square Enix cuts staff by 10 percent, keeps bike guy I don't know who they're getting rid of and who they're keeping, but I hope they kept the lesbian scissoring bike guy on board. That guy is their greatest asset! Square Enix is looking to clean u...
Ten Minute Taste: Armored Core 3 Portable This PSP download is a good candidate for our Ten Minute Taste videos, as it has a really cinematic opening and great sound. The game itself is no slouch either. You'll see the opening, some of ...
Resonance of Fate also standard definition TV friendly After playing Resonance of Fate, I have no idea why you'd play such a beautiful game on a standard definition television. People did it with Dead Rising, and they all had beef with the text size....
Record of Agarest War delayed :( We got all excited when we found out that Aksys Games was prepping saucy stratey RPG Record of Agarest War for a late 2009 release. Well, it's late 2009, and no Agarest War. Turns out that Aksys ...

Destructoid review: Mahjongg Artifacts 2 (PSP minis) It's mahjongg. I'm not going to tell you that this is some groundbreaking videogame. But I will say that I played the hell out of this title. It seemed to fill some gap in my PSPgo library that I...

Ace Combat + Idolmaster = model planes? Japan and their cross-promotions. Fighter jets and dancing girls come together to make model jets. Makes total sense. Namco Bandai's games Ace Combat 6 and Idolmaster have been handed over to mod...
