Sony’s done a good job of getting the Vita into fans’ hands with theirmulti-city social clubs, but a lot of us can’t make the drive to the nearest event.

A reader in Connecticut has reported that his store has received a pair of Vita systems – complete with a 4gb memory card andLittle Deviants– for their staff to show off....

Destructoid Draws: Our video game struggles

Why do we fall, Master Wayne? If there’s anything that unites all dudes and dudettes, it’s fear of failure. While it’s often not as nerve-wracking as a sales pitch or your first concert, video game failure is terrifying nonetheless. Nobody wants to be that unfortunate soul stuck in a game that all your friends have already finished for months. Even worse is the idea of consistently being a shitty player in an online game, or posting video game footage on a public platform where it ends up being ridiculed by thousands of strangers....

Honestly, I originally wanted to question this product’s enhancing claims (and taste) but withheld judgement until I could try them for myself....

Keep an eye out for this amazing indie In the first few weeks of 2012, a modest indie PC game calledDustforcewas released. It’s a time attack style puzzle platformer by nature, but I found myself immediately falling in love with the high skill ceiling, unique visuals, and solid controls.
