Tired of Marvel and all their games? D.C. has got the solution for you: Justice League Heroes. Bam! Kapow! just posted a video showcasing Flash's flashy fighting ability from the game. What would be sweet is the ability to control the entire group of Heroes a la Full Spectrum Warrior style. But one can only hope such a feature would be added to a future game. (Am I the only one still perplexed with Jack Black's casting as the Green Lantern?)
CHECK OUT THE VIDEO HERE. [thx Craig]
Doesn't your stomach just recoil in defense when his name appears on your monitor? Our evil little brother Filmwad has posted ze German's next upcoming movie, In The Name of the King....which is fortunately not lined up to smear the name of any video game franchise you know and love, however loosely based on Dungeon Siege. Instead, it appears it will instead taint the careers of some respected actors. I really hope that guy from Something Awful puts this guy in a wheelchair to at least slow down his production of cinema and focus more on sucking on his own, preferably meals through a straw. Watch it here on FilmWad
First we saw the NES controller turned into an iPod Shuffle. Now, Diyhappy took apart a Nokia 3200, which already comes with interchangeable faceplates, and rebuilt it inside of an old NES controller. Next, we'll find out Air Force One will be completely rebuilt out of thousands of NES controllers.

If I was to turn off the clouds the whole system would die in about six hours," Laukosargas Svarog tells me. "Turn off the bees and [the plants stop] growing, because nothing gets pollinated. And it's the transfer of pollen that signals the plants to drop seeds. The seeds blow in the wind, and if they land on good ground according to different rules for each species, they grow when they receive rain water from the clouds. It's all interdependent.
If you're like me and are really consumed with the desire to be one of three personas (ninja, outlaw <~~read "cowboy" and Galactus) you'll probably be interested in this little tactical strategy game. As you can tell by the screenshot this game is not for the feign of heart, so proceed with caution. A faithful reader, Wild Bill, decided to inform us of this little game:
Howdy! Ya'll seem to be gentlemen of the first water so I'm writing yah. I noticed the good ol' robot don't have any scuttlebutt on my type of affairs. And in case ya'll was wondering, that would be cowboy video games.
Now you can be a big bug, chiseler or a curly wolf it sure don't matter cause everybody's got to work like a team. Thats what makes tactical strategy so darn good. As long as you ain't riding around on no crowbait, you should have plenty of fun with this soon to be blockbuster.
Alrighty, well its time for me to wind up and bid ya'll a good night.

I'm just hoping the game is going to cause a trend for spaghetti westerns that will be as hot as a whorehouse on nickel night.
I don't have the time or the energy to enter something like this, let alone the skill to do it, but I must say I am rather impressed and jealous that I could not compete. I say there should be a robot easter egg contest that includes all of Destructoid's cousins. Yes, we can make room for our gay uncle too.

Granted, it's a marketing ploy from Lumix, but it's still fun. Hope they sell some cams and keep it coming. Don't try this in Manhattan, you will get Starbucks thrown at you.
Back on April 19th, Niero reported to us all that there would be some Katamari Damacy action at the Bay to Breakers race. Naturally, the group showed up and did not disappoint. The crew was pushing a giant katamari ball dotted with all kinds of funny San Francisco symbols. As you flip through the gallery, scan for the faces of the onlookers... priceless!
Check out the gallery.
The footage is not pre-rendered, it is real time on one of Nokia's new N-gage phones. A possible player customization includes texture mapping to create their own costumes. This is way too damn cool for a cell phone. And just the other day, I was having a flashback with Niero about Sega's Game Gear.

9) "You're so money you don't even know it."
8) "How about we go burn out on Burnout? (awkward pause) Get it?"

6) Random Guy: "Can I be your Zelda?" Booth Babe: "Don't you mean Link?"
5) Random Guy: "Hi." Booth Babe: "Hi." Random Guy: "Hi." Booth Babe: "Is there something I can help you with?" Random Guy: "Uhhh..."
4) "Why don't you grab your friend and lets make a run for the border."
3) "Have you ever played Thundercats?"
2) "You're so hot the sprinklers are about to turn on."

They should have read the Destructoid Forums for better ideas. My favorite "Baby, you're my Final Fantasy". LMAO
Warner Bros.-based Legendary Pictures has picked up film rights to adapt the popular fantasy video game franchise World of Warcraft and will develop the project with game publisher Blizzard Entertainment, which is owned by Vivendi.
While the "Warcraft" franchise has been around for more than a decade, the most recent iteration, the megahit online title "World of Warcraft," has transformed the video game industry.
Unlike most games, where players pay $50 once and play until they're done, more than 6 million people around the world pay $14.99 per month to participate in the multiplayer game.
Legendary put up half the money for Warners' Batman Begins and the upcoming Superman Returns.
A ton of you are probably reading this and thinking, "dude they are going to fuck this thing up like every other video game movie." Well, normally I would agree with you, but since Legendary Pictures is assisting in the financing I'll have to say we may actually be in for a surprise. The fact they forked over $75M & $125M to help finance the Batman & Superman franchises only proves to show us they are going to take this thing seriously. Both those franchises were a joke, but after putting up the necessary funds and finding the right people to produce those films they quickly turned around both properties. I think its safe to say they will treat WoW with the utmost respect because of its ridiculous following. Of course, I could be completely wrong but I sincerely hope not.
