I didn't play the original 1990s arcade game Splatterhouse. I told Crecente last week that the new one I played at E3 felt like a more violent God of War. Be careful, he warned me. More »
I’m giving this one a bump because I want to make sure Phil gets to show off his fantastic work! You can get the full details here, but below you’ll see what Phil had to say about his latest ‘Read Only Memory’ episode.
This short was a lot of fun to do, and one of [...]
I don’t know if many of you guys and gals noticed this. I know that I didn’t! Looks like Nintendo is already thinking about different ways to charge the 3DS. Of course, there will still be a traditional plug, but it looks like another option is in the works.
The headline says it all: there's new footage of the Halo: Reach Firefight mode courtesy of Halo Waypoint. Keep an eye out for surprises like the return of the bubble shield. We also noticed that drop ships seem to appear on the HUD -- possibly after being marked by other players a laBattlefield.
A portion of an MTV review…
Its arcade style gameplay should keep most gamers entertained while offering up some fun on the field. It’s not over-complicated like a soccer sim would be, and, as an added bonus, includes some classic characters that may stir up some airs of nostalgia in older gamers.

OK, OK smart guy, we get it. E3's been over for a week and you haven't heard so much as a peep from us. We all made some mistakes. But if you think about it, aren't you, the listener, as much to blame, in a sense? ... No? Well, it was worth a shot.
If you still care what we think (or if you want to hear a lengthy explanation of our new review scoring system), you're in for a treat. Special thanks to Alan Black for his photoshop sequel, 11 years in the making.

Looks like Nintendo is taking a unique approach to their packaging, as they’re slapping on advertising for other publishers and services. This is a good way to let the expanded audience know what the hell is going on when they buy these accessories or platforms. A small but interesting approach. Thanks to [...]
Finally, someone is picking up this title! I’ve been waiting awhile now to see if it would get localized, and it looks like Aksys is swooping in to take on the job. Another title that seemed to have no shot at coming to the states, but now its fate has changed! Hopefully [...]

Ah, but there is a catch: in order to gain access to the Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days demo, you'll have to send a message to the Kane & Lynch YouTube channel
before 11am GMT on June 30 -- and obviously you'll need a YouTube account to do this. Simply put "Token Request" in the subject field and include your date of birth (another catch: gotta be 18 years or older!) and Xbox Live Gamertag in the message body and you're good to go!
This is open to residents of the UK and northern Ireland only -- sorry, everybody else! Come July 1, keep an eye on your YouTube inbox for your unlock code. Oh, and take note that those who are already "friends" of the YouTube channel will get first dibs on the demo codes.
Don't have an Xbox 360? Don't fret, because Destructoid spoke with an Eidos rep who confirmed that a "consumer demo" would be available on the PS3 and PC sometime in the future. The Xbox 360 demo is only exclusive to that platform for a limited time.
