Amazing Castlevania and Silent Hill posters Much like Capcom andMega Man, Konami seems keen on strutting out the shambling corpses ofCastlevaniaandSilent Hill(andnow,Metal Gear) for merchandising purposes — canceling actual gaming related projects along the way. Mondo is adding salt to the wound with these new amazing posters by artists Becky Cloonan and Sam Wolfe Connelly forCastlevaniaandSilent Hillrespectively. Want ’em? you’re able to pick them up at Emerald City Comicon in Seattle (which starts on April 7)....

Usually, weekends at Dtoid are extremely slow, but we were so chock-full of stories over the past couple of days that I held off on posting this video. I only just now remembered it was in my inbox. I don’t see how I could forget — about 50 or so people tipped it in. GoldenEye 007on the N64 doesn’t quite hold up nowadays. Or does it? With a hi-res texture mod, it could pass off as… an N64 game....

Sword or whip? I’d like to use a time machine to, among other deeds, dissuade Brett from using the headline “Xbox One inheritsRogue Legacy” so that I might use it right now in this post. Hate coming up with these things. But, really, saving it for Aug 03, 2025 would have been more appropriate — that’s whenRogue Legacylaunches on the console. Abstraction Games is handling the port. If you haven’t played this action-platformer on Steam or PlayStation yet, you may enjoy it....

Come get some! It’s happening — the day I thought I’d never see in a million years.3D Realms is back, five years after closing its doors. Original members like Bryan Turner and Scott Miller are on board with the relaunch, having onboarded CEO Mike Nielsen and Frederik Schreiber, CEO of Interceptor Entertainment. It’s like my childhood has come back to stroke my hair and tell me everything’s going to be okay, because some of my favorite games are coming back....

No self-respecting soon-to-be-released game sequel can step into the public spotlight without a proper papercraft to steadily guide it’s bashful hand ahead. And so from the right wing enters the Master Chief papercraft by 3D-modeler billybob884. By adjusting the originalHaloMaster Chief model to make the figure more ‘build-able’, billybob884 has created a figure so outrageously multi-faceted that determined crafters will really have to ‘Finish the Fold’ with this guy. Er. Ack....

Blizzard has been avoiding the issue of setting a release date forDiablo IIIfor months now, but we’ve finally received information that they do actually plan to release the thing at some point. And that point is somewhere between the months of April and June of this year, during the company’s second quarter, as announced today during Activision Blizzard’s year-end earnings call to investors. The company went on reassert that the game has undergonesome revisionbased on player feedback from the beta, though no specifics were given as to what changes may have occurred....

Looks like it’s that time again, kids! Time for another indie bundle to tempt your wallet and Steam account. Some of Britain’s most successful independent game developers have come together in a show of jolly-good cooperation to bring usthe Best of British Indie Bundle. Odd title grammar aside, the bundle features seven fantastic indies from the past few years. The bundle includes:Gratuitous Space Battles,DEFCON,Eufloria, Revenge of the Titans,Frozen Synapse, and theBen There, Dan That!...

That dong, dong, dong, dong, dong It’s the beginning of a new year. For millions around the world, that means creating resolutions they will in no ways keep, costing them potentially thousands of dollars in exercise equipment, diet foods and gym memberships. For games journalists, it means filling the void left by video game PR companies taking an extended holiday with crap that usually only gets a few hundred page views....

Katawa Shoujois a game I first heard about years ago but that hasn’t been discussed on the Destructoid main page. At least, I didn’t notice any posts after a cursory search. Anyway,Katawa Shoujo(which translates to “Disability Girls”) is an indie love sim that takes place in a high school setting. The twist is that you and the girls you are pursuing are all handicapped. There is a girl without legs, one without arms, one who is blind, one who is a deaf-mute, and one with horrible burn scars across half her body....

Heart-warming end to GDC In a much more tender (than poop-suicide) end to the Game Developers Conference, at today’s post-mortem talk on the firstDiablo, writerShivam Bhattstepped up during the Q&A session of the talk to apologize toDiablocreator David Brevik for pirating the game as a teenager in 1997. Bhatt gave Brevik some cash in a part symbolic, part class move simply out of the atmosphere of yours truly, the man who saw an abandoned, 3/4ths-drunk 40 oz Cobra sitting in a subway station this week and thought, “I could probably drink the rest of that....

After a long, long wait (of only a few months)Duke Nukem Foreveris coming to Mac, courtesy of Aspyr Games. It’ll be out this August, and it sounds like a direct port of the long-awaited shooter. If you don’t know whatDuke Nukem Foreveris, I question why you’re reading Destructoid at all. But for more details, be sure tocheck out the review; I largely suspect much of that will apply to Aspyr’s port....

Origin Access EA Access, the subscription service to lease certain Electronic Arts games, is no longer exclusive to the Xbox One. It’s now available on PC as well, but rebranded to “Origin Access.” Despite the name change, Origin Access looks to function identically to EA Access. For $4.99 per month, users are granted free rein to a vault of games to play as often as they wish assuming the rent keeps getting paid....
