Nicholson wrote a very detailed piece on the PlayStation Move from PAX East which snuck in at the late hour. You should go and read it because it’s very interesting and not because it has endless opportunities for you to snicker about how the PlayStation Move looks like it should be applied liberally to parts of the body ill-suited for public display. Nudge, nudge. Beyond that, Nick talked to Visceral about the newDante’s Infernoexpansion, we’re giving awaySection 8on PS3 and all of this other stuff happened today too....

Check out everything Destructoid did today Yeah, I know we already “reviewed” it, but man…I’m having a blast playingRetro City Rampagenow that it’s on XBLA. Today, on Dtoid — well, actually, not a lot happened. Guess folks are still recovering from their hangover yesterday. Still, we had a bunch of news items happen, such as another android-based console doing the Kickstarter thing, Metacritic releasing their top rated games of 2012 list, a fan-made trailer forAMC’s The Walking Deadhitting the net, and the aforementioned release ofRetro City Rampageon Xbox Live Arcade…for only 800 Moon bucks, you guys!...

Thief 4is currently in the weird position new installments of series sometimes fall into: we know that it exists, officially, and that’s about it as far as details go. It’s also awkwardly named “Thi4f,” unless Eidos finally came to its senses and told no one. The schedule for GDC 2011has been posted, and as spotted byNeoGAF, there’s a talk by the name of “Stealing Sound: Generative Music in THIEF.” Not enough?...

I just wanna run, mama I thought finishingSuper Mario Bros. 3with my dad over the course of a week when I was a little girl was impressive, but this speedrun clocking in at 2:54:98 has forever shamed me. Of course, it lessens the pain a bit to know that this isn’t exactly a “legitimate” time — it’s a tool-assisted video fromTASVideosChannelthat uses a pipe glitch to allow Mario to make his way to Peach in world 7-1 in record time....

Add it to your wishlist I really like covering toys on Destructoid. I get to talk to a ton of like-minded collectors, share shopping strategies, and the community in general always comes together to help one another. It’s a feel-good experience even with scalpers on the loose. Just so you’re aware, the Lucario amiibo isnow sold outon Toys “R” Us’ website, and many stores as a result are no longer taking pre-orders....

That’s four months from now, and it sits right in that around-E3 summer lull where a lot of games don’t traditionally launch....

Gotta catch ’em all! [Also, feel free to check out myfullPokemon XandYtrading guide.] While I recently created a mini-guide forhow to make the most out of your tradesinPokemon XandY, I figured a completely separate tips guide was to cover everything else. This is a massive game after all, and there are a ton of ways to help kickstart the process of catching all 454 Kalos-region Pokemon. [Please note that this guide does not contain spoilers until the very end, in which I detail how to capture all of the legendary Pokemon in the game....

Start the reactor In a future where corporate greed has depleted the Earth’s resources, humanity has taken to space to acquire the goods needed for survival. The asteroid belt was supposed to be the great salvation, an almost limitless bastion of metal and minerals which could be used to prop our depleted world up. However, the same corporations that harvested the Earth dry laid claim to all the most bountiful asteroids, forming a syndicate that continued to subjugate even the most powerful of the world’s governments....

We’re gonna need some fresh underpants in here! I used to be a pretty big scaredy cat when it came to games (not so much with films, though – the interactive side to games really had the potential to freak me out). After toughing it out for a few weeks withREmakeearlier on in the year, I think I made some good progress towards having a normal tolerance for spooky games. I would no longer flinch and switch my console off straight away at the first sign of a zombie, and I realised that I felt no fear whatsoever trying the originalBioShockfor the first time in October....
