TVGB: "Project Natal’s killer app may not be a videogame, Naughty Dog co-founder and current social game startup Monkey Gods’s Chief Monkey Jason Rubin believes. It’s more about the interface, he says."
Yesterday Destructoid reviewed Deadly Premonition and gave it a score of 10. This comes just weeks after Destructoid reviewed Heavy Rain and gave it a score of 7. Obviously, this means one thing. We, at Destructoid, love the Xbox 360 and want to have sex with it. This conclusion can be drawn thanks to logic, which is a thing the Internet uses to make decisions based on ideas a thirteen-year-old had.
Some people (idiots) believe that I hate Heavy Rain because it is new and unique. The truth of the matter is that these people are gullible f***wits who believe that Heavy Rain is unique just because Sony told them that’s what it was. People who can think for themselves and actually possess some intellectual standards have realized that the game is not really new at all.
Has Heavy Rain failed as a game in its pursuit of a film-like experience? What is the essence of gaming and should gamers and the industry continue to pursue the film medium?
Valve has released Steam’s top ten sellers list for the week ending on February 27, with Battlefield: Bad Company 2 leading the charge heading into its launch week.
RespawnAction: "I have been hearing/reading a lot of good things about the Timesplitters series for quite a while now. Back in the day I was a huge fan of the N64 Goldeneye game and had many a night playing multiplayer with my friends and cousin. Whipping out the dual P90’s or dual Lasers was great and I’m sure even today the multiplayer would be loads of fun.
Recently I had been looking at Youtube videos of Timesplitters 2 and saw a great similarity between that game and Goldeneye. I thought to myself about how I had never heard of the series before. I am sure my cousin had told me about it as he was always playing first person shooter games, but I guess I had blown it off. I have been playing a lot of online shooters and was in the mood for a nice single player adventure. I love those old school single player FPS games; the games that had a great focus on story as opposed to just the multiplayer. So after seeing Timesplitters 2 for a while now I finally made the trip to Gamestop and picked it up used for roughly $7. Quite a deal, huh? There’s something about buying a last generation game in this day and age, I just can’t describe it. Maybe it is my feeling of last generation games being superior to this generation. Who knows."
The upcoming spring season will be great time for Xbox 360 gamers. This is especially true when it comes to great exclusives (console or otherwise) slated for release from March through May.
PS3attitide: Today the US PlayStation website received an unexpected revamp with a brand new cleaner look.
The dark black site we have become used to has now disappeared in favour of a brighter grey feel that is more akin to its European counterpart.
So far we have to say that we’re impressed with it, and the website feels a lot more inviting.
It will even tell you how many of your friends on your PSN account are online at the top of every page, although this doesn’t appear to be working right now.
The forums are also offline so we will have to wait and see if there is any change there.

Associated Content: Since 1994, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rates video games hitting the store shelves. Ratings can help gamers and parents decide which games to buy. Although, there are times when I feel the ESRB gets the ratings wrong. Here are video games undeserving of their ESRB rating and why.
