Some of you might not agree with Jim Sterling’s review scores, but you have to admit that the man is a master of the digital paint brush. For instance: the complex facial expression on Baldur exudes not only a deep sense of internal conflict and pain, but also a strong external facade of bravado that serves to hide those feelings from the world at large; clearly conveying a strong warning about the ideology of individualism taken too far to its extreme, which can result in the alienation of the people we need the most when our lives grow turbulent. I, for one, was moved.
Nyko makes another weird looking peripheral, Disaster: Day of Crisis may finally be coming out next month, StarCraft II better be coming out by next year, and plenty more happened on Destructoid today.
