After E3, many of us are excited to see the finished products of many of the unbelievable games that were shown on the show floor, behind closed doors and press conferences. I know for sure that around my house one game in particular has been getting alot of attention and play time. Turns out this game is already out and could be described as the gateway drug into gaming. Peggle fever has arrived.

Okay, I can only speak for myself when I write this; but drinking is awesome. Drinking is even more enjoyable when you are with a group of your buddies, all laughing and making jokes about penises in your intoxicated state. What could make this scenario even better? The answer is videogames; however some games are far better suited to drunken people than others. Not only are they more fun to play when drunk, but they can lead to hilarious situations often involving injuries such as broken bones or a Wii-Mote in the bum.

I’ve spent some time mulling this over and thought up some games which should be inducted into a new gaming genre: the Drunk and Dangerous genre. Check them out inside! Read more… »

This is a direct response to the hundreds of comments that IGN received recently due to their Prototype review. After giving it a 7.5, which is a respectable score by their own standards, IGN received a myriad of these types of choice words:

“kongii29: go review something else pussy u dnt deserve to review a great game like Prototype…go fuk urself..hahahahaha…”

Really? Run for the hills, reviewers! If you give any popular game less than an 8, prepare to be assaulted over the internet (and physically, when the fanboys track you down…and they will). So what exactly goes into scoring a game below an 8? Is a 7.5 really that bad? Read more… »

The mantra “co-op makes everything better” is true to a certain extent, but gamers and developers have not yet scratched the surface on the benefits of quality cooperative gaming. In 2008 publishers such as Treyarch, Valve, and Behemoth provided us with three examples of incredibly enjoyable cooperative gameplay.

My favorite three so far? Well…

This is what happens when you don’t own a Nintendo game console, smoke a lot of weed, and really want to “experience” Zelda in some manner. I think this video would have also gone well with the Ocarina of Rhyme.

Seriously, this video makes me want to do the exact same thing to the Final Fantasy victory fanfare theme!

It is a commonly established fact among gamers that we are fiercely defensive of our favorite games. Such loyalty leads to countless message board flame wars and fanboy crusades over which game did what the best. These “debates” never lead to any sort of satisfying conclusion, each side turning a blind eye to the opposing argument; or as much of an argument one can make when fumbling between 1337 speak and heinously butchered English.

With the advent of Final Fantasy XIV at this year’s E3 convention, heated discussions of this rather stubborn brand have sprouted up across the internet. This time players of World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XI have engaged in a futile, yet seemingly unending dispute of what this new MMORPG from Square-Enix will offer fans of these vastly different games.

Its been a little over a week now since E3 officially ended. I am not sure if it was the best event I have ever seen, considering it was my first visit, but I can say that a lot of effort was put forth by every company to impress everyone on the show floor.

There were hundreds of HD TVs hooked up to some of the hottest games in extremely overdecorated booths. Now that I finally got the bags out of my eyes, and clarity has been restored, its time to put down my experience on the good ole e-paper. Read more… »

Today I’d like to share with you a bit of artwork from a budding artist named Chris Sweeney. Sweeney goes by the online alias SuitcoatAvenger, and frequents the Destructoid.com community blogs. Personally, I’d refer to his art as “Samurai Jack on crack”, but he has some more professional, artsy sounding terms for us.

Sweeney himself describes his style as “an art deco mosh pit. It’s grounded on the basic foundations of the graphic arts that were popular throughout the 60′s, but lends itself to being much more random and free. Realism takes a back seat to conveying a basic idea, and the linework tends to find its way to where it needs to go largely on its own.”

Check out some of his samples below! Read more… »
