Hey gang, another one of these things again. Today, people said things about the Playstation Vita. Then, Christian policemen got mad at The Darkness II, that douche from Oasis got mad at video games in general, and I got mad at Dark Souls for having bird-butts but no lady-boobs. Amazon is having a big fat summer sale of handheld games, Valve is making Defense of the Ancients 2, and Batman: Arkham City looks super cool. Because it has Mr. Freeze in it. Because ice. Get it? Finally, one of the guys who worked on Deus Ex: Human Revolution for the PC says that the PC version is probably best. Ahhh, Monday news.
Also, you guys should tune into Mash Tactics tomorrow, where I will be making a special guest appearance with Mr. John Carnage himself. That's on Twitch.TV/Destructoid, at 4 PM PST, 7 PM EST. We gonna play the vidyas.

The Nintendo 3DS was the best-selling piece of gaming hardware in the United States during May, according to the NPD's monthly report. Nintendo attributes the achievement to the platform's strong software sales, which have in...
It feels like we've been waiting forever, but finally, New Super Luigi U is here. This release serves as DLC to New Super Mario Bros. U, until the stand-alone disc arrives. On the Virtual Console, you're getting Mario Bros. (...
Funny thing about the 3DS demo stations at this year's and last year's E3: they were mobile. And I don't mean they were attached to rolling podiums. Nintendo hired a bunch of girls to walk around the floor with 3DS units fast...
The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma recognizes some of Nintendo's venerable franchises may be growing a tad stale. That's something Aonuma is looking to change in the near future, as he strives to inject new ideas...
