Awesome Radical Gaming

  • Venetica Announced For 360 And PC

    Venetica is an upcoming RPG by Deck 13 and DTP Entertainment. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of either of them before, but apparently Deck 13 is a big deal in Germany. In the game you play as death’s daughter, which maybe could be cool but also could end up incredibly lame. The graphics don’t…

  • Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King Review

    Before I actually begin this review I think I should make it clear that I really didn’t like Crystal Chronicles. As a fan of the more “traditional” Final Fantasy games, I found Crystal Chronicles to be extremely lacking, just a half-assed attempt to put a “Final Fantasy” title on the Gamecube. So, when I heard…

  • Etrian Odyssey II MEGA Contest

    A few weeks ago there was an Etrian Odyssey II contest where you could win the games imported 3-disc soundtrack. That was pretty awesome, but not quite awesome enough. Now there’s another, better, more radical contest. Basically, you write a blog entry on Destructoid.com about “your most memorable experience associated with the series.” Like, basically…

  • Lost Planet: Extreme Condition COLONIES EDITION Akrid Hunt Video

    [flashvideo filename=”wp-content/uploads/2008/05/Akrid_Hunt.flv” /] Some players control the bugs and try to kill the people, other players shoot at the bugs. I, for one, am intrigued. Actually, could be a pretty cool game mode. I remember in one of the Unreal Tournaments they had a mode where players could all fight against progressively harder waves of…

  • ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat Coming to U.S.

    Archaic Sealed Heat, it had everything going for it, awesome graphics and it’s a Hironobu Sakaguchi produced RPG, but it only sold about 50,000 copies in Japan (50,000 doesn’t seem that bad…but, I guess that’s bad nowadays). What’s your problem, Japan? I mean seriously, dick move guys. Anyway, the ESRB has given ASH an E10+…

  • Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen (DS)

    There’s been no official announcement from Square Enix, but an official Dragon Quest IV site has shown up through Square Enix North America. The site also reveals the games release date of September 16th! It goes on to tease information about Dragon Quest V and VI U.S. releases, but no release dates are mentioned. I…

  • The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff

    This is more for Liz then anyone, because she likes IKEA AND the Sims, this is like a match made in heaven. Me, I don’t know. I got this thing to hold all my games that was pretty cool, but it just talks to long to go there and walk around and look at stuff…

  • New Spore Trailer

    [flashvideo filename=”wp-content/uploads/2008/05/sporgencellpv10hi.flv” /] Spore looks totally radical, I can hardly wait for this game. Sure it will probably run like crap on my PC, but that’s fine, I don’t care, it will still be awesome. I actually had this same idea for a game 10 years ago but everyone shot me down and said “Mike,…

  • Skate 2 Trailer – We’re Dropping The Deuce

    I think this is the worst game trailer I’ve ever seen in my life. I mean, why waste time dropping a deuce on us all?

  • MadWorld

    I think it’s interesting how a vast majority of gamers automatically thinks this game is going to be amazing because of the art direction. Like, alright, it’s all in black and white but the blood, the blood is still red, I see that and that’s really very clever and original I guess, but I’m still…

  • PixelJunk Eden Gamers’ Day 08 Trailer

    I think I love these PixelJunk games. If I had a PS3 I would totally get them all. I’m not really sure what’s happening, but I would be it. I like the music.

  • Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia Announced (DS)

    Konami officially announced the next Castlevania game last night during their Gamer’s Night ’08 in San Francisco. Dracula is back again, but this time years after the Belmont family has disappeared. The lead character, Shenoa, is a female, which is a first (technically second I think, the other game with a female character was removed…
