Killing with friends is so much better In order to continue the hype-train coverage that is so much of the norm for today’s AAA mega franchises (and probably lesser games too), this hot-off-the-presses marketing video forCall of Duty Black Ops IIIwill take you on a 13-minute tour of the “cooperative campaign with the Cyber Core tutorial.” Sit back, relax, and let the sounds of war bathe you in a warming glow....
As waspreviously promisedjust a few weeks ago, Rockstar and Marvel have released the first part of theMax Payne 3comic. Written by Dan Houser and Sam Lake, “After The Fall” explains a bit of Max’s childhood and some events that happened during the first two games. It’s also beautifully drawn with a really nice use of color. The best part is it’s absolutelyfree to read or downloadright now! Rockstar knows that some of you may want a physical printed copy....
And Capcom spoiled it on Twitter The following story sort of spoils the ending ofResident Evil 7. There is a big twist for series fans at the end of the game and I’m shocked that Capcom just so blatantly ruined it on the officialResident EvilTwitter account. In the interest of not spoiling that surprise for anyone who is casually browsing Destructoid and hasn’t beaten the game, I’m going to refrain from embedding the Tweet....
New changes in the Bastion patch Blizzard sharedsome patch notesthree days ago in what I’m referring to as the “Bastion patch.” Currently in PTR, the update adds CTF to the mix, as well as a server browser. In terms of hero changes the big alterations involve Bastion, who got a rework for both of his configurations, as well as Mercy, who got a big buff for her ultimate (she’s invincible temporarily after casting it, as are the teammates who were resurrected)....
My wife is convinced that Bruno Mars is a dwarf. This after seeing him perform onAmerican Idol, and then immediately doing a Google search for “Bruno Mars, dwarf.” Turns outshe’s not the first to think this. While Mars has dwarf-potential, that doesn’t really matter, because the singer-songwriter is an unstoppable hit machine. And those hits, including “Grenade” (where Mars sings that he’d so some crazy, dumb s**t for someone he presumably cares for), will be coming toRock Bandnext week....
[This weekend Destructoid is reporting live fromRTXin Austin, Texas, the community based gaming expo for Rooster Teeth fans and everyone else.] A month ago at E3,Hamza saw, conquered, and approvedofHalo 4. But, why wouldn’t he? He’s like the biggestHalofan on staff! I, on the other hand, have lukewarm feelings toward the series. I played all butHalo 2to completion and enjoyed them (ODSTthe most), but have never been profoundly impressed by the games....
Promoted from our community blogs [I used to sell stuff on eBay, until it just up and mysteriously marked me as a delinquent account. I haven’t sold my gaming stuff since then, especially after adopting a download stance (unless I’m desperate). I can see now why GameStop can afford to give buybacks such piddly rates: exploring the world of secondhand game sales can attract a shadier clientele, as SpielerDad recounts. ~Strider]...

Now that thoseother shootersare out of the way, it’s time for me to play a few that I wanted give a spin. And I think this video encapsulates my mantra, “I only look out for numero uno.” Bulletstormstormstormstorm, me, me, me, brought joy to my life, even before it was released, with the Burgerstorm truck at E3 2010. A free burger was almost enough for a good review of the game…the buns were a little dry, though…and I’m not a reviewer....
It’s damn good to hear that the Chronicles of Riddick game is still in the works. I loved the first one, but got stuck half way through and gave up. Next time though, I’m going all the way through!

No Parasite Eve Happy birthday VitaVita it’s your birthdayHappy birthday VitaVita it’s your birthday Maybe a heartfelt Michael Jackson tune can ease the pain of thissad sale, live tomorrow, commemorating Sony’s abandoned system. There’s a free Toro theme to go along with the god awfulCall of Duty: Black Ops Declassifiedbeing lowered from $50 (fifty dollars!) to $15, at least. There are some alright to good games on sale, likeNew Little King’s StoryandMuramasaandZero Escape, but the Vita’s most excelled titles are absent and it really shows that, while the highs are high —Tearaway,Gravity Rush,Persona 4 Golden— the system can be real empty otherwise....
Withrecent newsthat theleaked “Xbox 720” dev kit pictures and specsmay actually be — gasp! —genuine, what are your thoughts? Here are the facts: The console is codenamed “Durango,” the dev kit allegedly has 8 GB of memory, is 64-bit, and supports DirectX 11. When all is said and done,documented rumorspoint to the next-gen console being aroundsix times more powerfulthan the current Xbox 360. Six times more powerful.That is one impressive machine!...
Promoted from our Community Blogs! [Dtoid community blogger TheDustinThomas tackles the age old question: when is a game “so bad it’s good” and when is it just “BAD!”? Share your own experiences in the comments! –Mr Andy Dixon] Within the last month, two of the games I’ve played (and finished) wereDead Space 3and… deep breath…Aliens: Colonial Marines. Yeah, I know, awful, right? Honestly, I really enjoyedDead Space 3, and while there were definitely aspects of it that I found to be quite annoying — not every game needs a crafting system, guys — I had a genuinely good time with it....
