Get into a fight at Destructoid, win a Razer fight pad photo

Bored this weekend?  Get into a fight at Fight.destructoid.com!    

 We've launched a streamlined way to challenge other players online to friendly wagered competitions of various Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 games, as well as Starcraft II. By challenging your friends to competitive games such as Marvel vs Capcom 3 or Fight Night Round 4, you can wager points to the winner of head to head or tournament style competitions. You will then be able to trade these points in for prizes as they become available! This system also allows you to create your own money matches, if you so desire.

Contest: Just by logging in and completing a match you will be entered to win this Razer Onza Tournament Edition Controller for the Xbox 360, a $50 value.  As time goes on we will support more games, so if you don't have any of the games just yet, don't fret! Look for updates every friday.

im curious, is the site based on the honesty system? like how would it know who won the match and in what game? or is it filled out after you play?

cause some shady people could easily create fake accounts and wager against themselves or other shady friends, to amass points. i would assume?

@fetusmilk: the site auto-verifies all games except for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Super Street Fighter 4, which are verified manually as a bit of an experiment. We have dedicated admins and support staff watching all activity in the sad event that a player is being dishonest.

So sad about no PS3 FNF :(

Fight.Destructoid.com looks very slick, though more oriented to one on one competitive games which is great as there aren't many venues for this.

I don't tend to play those type of games but the usual FNF line up almost always has some team shooter games - so it's all good!

This is a very cool idea! I'm not much of a competitive multiplayer guy myself, but I dig what you guys are doing here.

(Did anything ever happen with the "Meetup and Play" experiment, speaking of which? I never actually got around to trying the feature out, and now I don't see it anywhere...)

I have none of the games for F.Dtoid.com, but it looks interesting. Not really sure how it works though. Do I have to pay to play or is it pay to play for $$$. Not really sure.

@manasteel88

You can play for points for free. If you wanted to wager money, you would have to do that with your paypal account to play money matches. But points is totally free!

Hey guys, just as an FYI there will be SSF4 and MvC3 tournaments all weekend for bonus points. Check fight.destructoid.com and click 'tournaments' after adding the games you have.

I have one of those Onza TEs, and it could use some work. The triggers feel squishy, the extra buttons are in an awkward place and make the bumpers feel weird too, and the directional pad buttons have way too much throw. Also, the triggers stick out too far.

This is actually a really well-made system here, still figuring out everything.

Didn't Gamespot try doing something like this awhile back? Not that I'm implying the staff and community here are even remotely as stupid as that community.

I would be much more interested if there were some FPS games in the mix. Not really interested in playing any of these games online.

I saw that controller at best buy today, it looks really sweet and better than the ms 360 controller (except for that long cord thing coming out of it, what is that?)

What this needs is Reach, so the EUFNF team can play those suckers in 360 FNF.
