Nick unleashed his load of Nintendo previews today and one of the games he talked about was Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure.Henry Hatsworth is going to be an absolutely amazing game and I will gladly hype this game up whenever I can.
Codemasters donates $1000 to the SingSterling Challenge, Destructoid Discusses handheld gaming, the Mega Man 9 DLC is out, the new C Blog recapping account is up, and plenty more happened on 10/06/08.
Recently, I headed out to Los Angeles to get some hands-on time with Rockstar’s upcoming racer, Midnight Club: Los Angeles. Well actually, that’s not technically true -- the event itself was held at Willow Springs Raceway, which is located in the California desert in Rosamond, an hour and a half north of the City of Angels.
There, I played the single-player and multiplayer portions of MC: LA -- and I also took a stomach-churning ride in an Audi R8. Hit the jump for my impressions of the first two experiences.

Today, in the wake of scandalous controversy, Wii owners got their first taste of Mega Man 9's downloadable content. DLC is old news for 360 owners who also have the internet (meaning, every 360 owner reading this), but for Wii owners, their only other real DLC opportunities are the overpriced song packs of Samba de Amigo or the hit-or-miss, user created content of Blast Works. So for them, this is a pretty big deal.
Yes, sir, for just 300 Wii points, Mega Man 9 owners can now download an Endless Attack mode, which only ends when you die (just like your actual life). For the slightly cheaper price of 200 Wii points, you can also download Mega Man's older brother Proto Man as a playable character.
This isn't the first time a Mega Man game has gotten DLC. The under-appreciated classic Mega Man: Powered Up on the PSP has its fair share of downloadable characters and levels. What's more, the DLC in Mega Man: Powered Up is all completely free. So while folks who only own a Wii may be amazed with what is, for them, Mega Man's first outing into the DLC arena, PSP owners may not only be unimpressed, but a tad insulted at the content's price tag as well.
For Mega Man lovers who have never experienced the joys of DLC, and those who have already been spoiled by Mega Man: Powered Up, I offer this brief report on Mega Man 9's current DLC offerings. Are they crap? Are they overpriced? Should you buy them anyway? Hit the jump to find out.

Local news is really funny. As I was watching Heroes tonight (Hiro's "key" is WIN), my local NBC affiliate news had a promo for what we could expect to see on tonight's program. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet because it's only about 9:30 here, but I'm so tuning in. Apparently, scientists are warning that hamsters may be dangerous pets for children to have.
Okay, the Dow Jones Industrial dropped another 350 points today, we're in the middle of an election and my local news is warning me about the risks of children and hamsters. If that isn't a misplaced set of priorities, I don't know what is.
Here at Destructoid, our priorities are right where they belong. That's why you didn't see any of these stories getting the full post treatment earlier today.
Steve "Developers" Ballmer said that price cuts to the Xbox 360 are in no way indicative of poor sales. [GamesIndustry]
Midway has made the PC version of Area 51 a free download. This game always intrigued me, but I never bothered to play it. Anybody know if it's any good? [GamersHell]
Attendance at E 4 All dropped 17% this year, bringing in only 15,000 people. Dtoid was there. Expect our impressions of the show soon. You'll want to see this. [Joystiq]
Sony's Jon Koller says that the DS user base is under 12 years of age. I wish he'd tell that to my parents so they'd let me have my own damn hobby. [GameDaily]
Latest comment by Edarios |view all 3 comments Area 51 was an average shooter, might as well try it if ur not playing anything else. Spoiler: THERE ARE SHARKS WITH LASERBEAMS ON THEIR HEADS!...
You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones.
Last week I stumped everyone again! This week's theme is pretty random, so it might be a little challenging for you guys. As usual, don't be afraid to shout out ideas and work together as a team to solve them all. Good luck!
P.S. If you haven't voted on last week's Game Debate yet, then tonight is your last chance.
In case you didn’t know, Tokyo Game Show is rapidly approaching. Nick, Dale, and Jim all have the wonderful pleasure of attending this year and they’re currently preparing for the rather long voyage to the magical world of Japan. While playing games in a foreign country sounds wicked awesome, getting around town and obtaining what you need can be a hassle. Why? Here’s a hint: English is not the first language in Japan.
Thankfully, the guys at Siliconera are here to help the boys out. They’ve recently created a pretty hip flash game designed to help people brush up on their “katakana,” which is explained by Spencer at Siliconera as the “symbols used for foreign words and often videogame titles.” The best part of the experience isn’t the learning for me -- it’s watching dinosaurs drown as my fingers tap on the keys frantically.
I can totally see how this could help everyone on their way over to TGS, although I’m not getting the vibe that I could order a cheeseburger in Japan after playing. Regardless, I’d imagine we all wish Nick, Dale, and Jim a very happy and safe trip to TGS. Look for our coverage of TGS this October 9-12th!
The latest PlayStation Underground newsletter highlights something very important to those eagerly awaiting the next rendition of Resistance: Fall of Man. Starting today, if you pre-order Resistance 2 at GameStop, you’ll automatically be enrolled into the multiplayer beta.
The beta includes the highly touted 8-player cooperative mode, as well as competitive play. In Nick’s hands-on with the game he framed the cooperative mode and competitive multiplayer in a pretty positive light. If you’re skeptical about what the beta will offer (or the full game for that matter) definitely check it out.
I have almost become numb to pre-order offers, but this one sounds entirely more appealing than a collection of Xbox Live Arcade games or armor. Too bad they aren’t offering an alien beanie baby. I’d be all over that.
