Square Enix’s The Quiet Man was the most baffling game at PAX

Silencio The Quiet Manisn’t a game I’m supposed to preview at PAX. When my appointment was made for Square Enix, it was forLeft Alive, a lackluster presentation I’ve already covered. I have no interest in playingThe Quiet Manafter the “big” gameplay reveal a few weeks ago until multiple people with little or no connection to one another keep bringing it up in conversation. It’s a game I have to see, they tell me....

The DTOID Show: Horse Ops II, Dawnguard, & a $99 Xbox 360

Hey guys! Here’s another helping of Destructoid Show! If you don’t eat it all, you won’t get any dessert. (I’m kidding, that was a joke, please do not eat our internet news program, thanks.)

The Memory Card .69: TKO! BJ! LOL!

“The Memory Card” is a seasonal feature that dissects and honors some of the most artistic, innovative, and memorable videogame moments of all time. I was originally going to write about an entirely different topic this week. I had it all planned out, scheduled — ya’ know, what annoyingly organized people do. But then I realized something. Somethingunbelievably important. This is edition#69of The Memory Card. Now, when I noticed this was the 69th article in this series, I could have done two things: I could have ignored my immature giggling and continue things as planned, or I could scrap my original idea, move it to next week, and use this rare event to post something completely juvenile — something that makes me laughevery single time I see it....

The Network Roundup: What’s your resolution?

Not of your monitor silly! Just look at those calendars, 2013. Isn’t it such a futuristic sounding number? I guess so many sci-fi things I love always had the dates of 2012, making 2013 sound so far away. Along with a snazzy new date stamp comes the annual list of personal resolutions we make, and potentially break for ourselves. Personally, I’m hoping to party just a bit less, and get more actually gaming done....

The Street Fighter IV National Champion is Justin Wong

Justin Wong (playing as Rufus) emerged victorious in GameStop and Capcom’sStreet Fighter IVNational Championship. (Part of that tournament we’ve told you about a fewtimesalready.) For his troubles, Wong received bragging rights, aStreet Fighter IVarcade cabinet, and an eighty-pound trophy. That’s a picture of Wong above. He looks extremely excited. The finals event was decided in front of one thousand fans at San Francisco’s Fort Mason. The massive crowd is the only reason why I didn’t participate in the event (and therefore win....

The Witness is already almost outselling Braid’s entire first year

I hope Blow can afford piss breaks now After being in development since what feels like the dawn of humanity, Jonathan Blow’sThe Witnessis doing pretty dang well for itself.

In tweets made by Blow, he announced thatThe Witnessis on track to do better in its first week on all available platforms thanBraiddid in an entire year....

PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 too The latest issue of V Jump magazine is showing off a brand newDragon Ball Zgame. What makes this significant in particular is that it’s going to be the firstDragon Ball Ztitle to hit the current-generation of consoles. Well, the PlayStation 4 at least. There’s also a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 version in the works, and if this one is released outside of Japan I think it’s a safe bet to assume we’ll see an Xbox One version at some point....
