E3 2007 Aftershocks: Burnout Paradise

Burnout Paradise was one of the few games at this years E3 to actually draw a reasonable line (and by line, I mean three humans and a Frag Doll). As always, it’s looking quite amazing, with a lot of big changes this time around. The open-ended world is the most obvious, but other things like a heavier feel to the cars, unique use of the camera peripheral, amazing new crash physics, and the ability to hop in and out of a friends city online with up to eight people, all adds up to make this a package that could rival David Bowie’s in Labyrinth....

Destructoid review: TNA Wrestling

A few years ago, my friends and I would have huge wrestling game parties thanks to the long line of absolutely rockin’ Nintendo 64 titles. We’d stay up all night, giggling like little girls while we smashed each other through tables, hit each other with foreign objects and forget to tag our partners. It was the only time in my life that I socially played games without the Internet. And I’m sad that wrestling titles haven’t been able to interest me much since....

Mario & Luigi RPG 3 trailer is like Innerspace, but with less Martin Short

A new trailer forMario & Luigi RPG 3has made its way from the shadowy underbelly of Japan and into the West’s foul clutches, detailing the new gameplay to be had when our intrepid Mario Bros. end up inside Bowser’s body … and not in the way I’ve seen during visits to questionable “art” sites.I really like where this new chapter of the incredibly fun RPG series is going.
