[Update:Well, that would explain why it’s old footage. It’s an old trailer that Sega uploaded yesterday. Oh well. Watch it again, I guess.] Here’s a new trailer forAliens: Colonial Marines, this time sporting some actual gameplay footageas opposed to CGI. There are plenty of hissing xenomorphs and screaming marines, which is exactly how the universe should be balanced. This trailer would excite me, except for one thing — none of this footage is new....

RememberAnarchy Reigns? That action brawler that myself, and a ton of other Platinum Games fans are really excited for? Even thoughit has already been delayed, Platinum Games’ video show“PG Break”just announced today that there is now no set release date for the game worldwide other than Japan, where it will still launch as planned on July 5th, 2012. The episode also announces the remaining two characters in the game (which are viewable below in the gallery), as well as a few extra tidbits on other Platinum Games happenings, such as their involvement inMetal Gear Rising: Revengeance....

After gracing the Xbox Live Arcade and PSN, it looks likeCastle Crashersis about to call Steam home. The Steam version will support integrated voice chat, steam achievements, gamepad support, cloud support, and local and online multiplayer (hnnngg).Castle Crashershas been one of my wife and I’s yearly “go to” games since its release in 2008. If for some reason you don’t have a 360 or PS3 and are a fan of beat ’em ups, you should probably experience it as soon as possible....

Developer doesn’t think the differences will be gamebreaking The “Xbox 720p” debate rages on, as CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwinski weighs in on the potential differences between the Xbox One and the PS4 versions ofWitcher 3. Speaking to Eurogamer, Iwinski notes, “We are still working on squeezing the juice out of the consoles and Microsoft are supporting us in this respect. The final effect, whether it’s 720p, 1080p – we had the debate in the studio about it and actually asked our tech guys to explain how it works, and they sent me some complicated graphs that if I have this size of the screen, and I sit one meter or two meters from it, then I might be able to see the difference....

With 10 percent of proceeds going to charity TheHumble Storehas a set of daily deals going on right now thatI hope you’ll seebefore it’s too late. Most notably, there’sFezfor $3.99. If not for the sense of discovery or lovely pixel art, do it for Disasterpeace’s sublime soundtrack (you’ve heardSide FandSide Z, right?). I’ve also got to give shout-outs to the 2D god gameReus($3.39) and the excellent co-op brawlerGuacamelee! Gold Edition($7.49). Some fine games these are....

Destructoid produces a weekly podcast calledPodtoid. Our reviews editor Jim Sterling often uses it as a platform for spontaneous free association, improvising nightmarish, hilarious, largely unpredictable scenarios on a weekly basis. Most recently he imagined Destructoid Managing Editor Conrad Zimmerman as aHellraiser-style demon named “F*ck Tape” (illustration by Sarah Thomas). People often ask us to take the ideas spawned from Podtoid and put them into a videogame. We’re probably never going to do that, but if that’s really what you’re looking for in life, then check outDemon Chic....

Yes, please. The PlayStation Store is running a “Horror Week” promotion and I am reaching for my wallet. One of the biggest markdowns is forDmC: Devil May Cry, which has been slashed to 50% off this week, while PlayStation Plus members can snag even more savings and download it for a mere $13.99. Metro: Last LightandThe Darkness IIsee similar discounts, but what’s got me excited isFatal FrameandFatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly, which have dropped from $9....

Viva Las Volus The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) takes place in Las Vegas at the beginning of each year. It’s sort of an odd one for us in that it’s just a smidgen too tech and hardware-centric to really get excited about. It’s on our radar but it rarely makes waves. This year there’s at least one guaranteed wave. BioWare has a spot in the Nvidia’s press conference where it’ll show newMass Effect: Andromedagameplay....

Oh boy! Call of Dutywas once a well respected franchise — at least, more than it is now. It may have borrowed heavily from Hollywood to create scenarios that glorified war, but the games were trailblazers for mechanics that nearly every shooter still uses. Sadly, the common consensus for many people is that the well was run dry and Activision needs to stop making these titles. I’m sorry to disappoint, butCall of Dutyisn’t going anywhere....

Importers rejoice! During the Nintendo Direct the other night, Square Enix announced it would be bringing re-releases ofDragon Quest 1,2, and3to the console in Japan. While it’s unlikely that the West won’t get them, there hasn’t been any confirmation of their existence. Thankfully, if you don’t want to wait or the ports don’t show up, the Asian release of the trio will have an English language option available. Sweetening the deal, Asia will also be getting a physical release of the three games....

Updated: July 12, 2025 We searched for new codes! Love how this game is trying to recapture the feeling of old-school MMORPGs, but kids can’t help a random 30-year-old’s marriage. The true canon event of old-school MMOs. That and the promise of freebies, here they might be in the form ofDungeon Levelingcodes. As of right now, there are no available codes. If there is any new information regarding codes, we will be the first to update....
