Drowning out the native soundtrack just got easier Last year,KickBeatreleased on PS3 and PS Vita, and we quite liked the “music dressed up as a fighting game.” The final word on it was that it featured solid rhythm gameplay, but was held back by a few questionable song choices and tedious means of unlocking content. Concerning the latter, it appears that Zen Studios was listening to the criticism, as much more of the content is available without as much grinding....
Not necessarily in that order In case you aren’t aware,PixelJunk Inc.looks to be the raddest game ever. ImagineCastlevania,Metal Slug,Pikmin, and a tower defense all rolled into one. Also, soup everywhere. Naturally, when I got the opportunity to talk to the minds behind this game I jumped at the chance. Rowan is a delightfully assuming man with a charming accent. Look forward to that. We both got to stand in direct sunlight so please ignore the awkward faces we make....

An insane scientist, goat riding, pet neglect, Mega Evolutions, and more! Pokemon XandPokemon Yare currently playable in Japan at the Pokemon Game Show. We got a look at the same hands-on demo, minus the 10 minute time limit and the assuredly hours-long line. The demo opens with you as a random trainer — there are six core options that can be customized — with one of the three starter Pokemon. I began as the delightful, pink hat clad Yvonne, with a Fennekin....
[Destructoid is grabbing its rail gun and heading to Dallas, Texas this weekend forQuakeCon. Stay posted for game news, previews, and strange happenings from the infamous LAN room.] In 2004,Doom 3was a disappointment. It neither captured the speed of the original game or the lofty cinematic ambitions it tried to chase after. Instead, it was a slow, methodical shooter that leaned on its horror elements far more than previous games in the series....

One catridge, six games I still remember my amazement nearly two decades ago when my cousin came over to my house and showed me a bootleg Game Boy cartridge. It had a little button on it that you could press to bring up a menu and access over 100 games. We’ve progressed far beyond that point, but I always had a soft spot for compilations due to their convenience. Sega is doing just that with their 3DS Classics collection, which will include a reprint ofSpace Harrier,Fantasy Zone,Outrun,Streets of Rage,Shinobi III, andEcco the Dolphin....

I’m SHARING this with you Want a better look at the PS4 DualShock 4 controller? Then check out this new video that Sony released this morning. They go over just about every detail of the controller in this two-minute overview. You get some nice close-up shots of the ports and buttons, too. Controller porn, if you will. Even with as slick as this controller looks, I do have to point out that at about the 1:30 mark, where the touch pad is being shown off, it sounds like the demonstrator is actually grazing the analog sticks or buttons at the same time....
