Are you still playing World of Warcraft? Patch 5.2, a major content update forWorld of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, is nearly upon us, and Blizzard has a new trailer to celebrate. Lorewalker Cho lays down some phat poetry to get us in the mood for hot raid content, and a bunch of other stuff that’s set to hit in 5.2, like new mounts and pets. The content itself looks great, but I just love that it’s narrated by Jim Cummings, aka Darkwing Duck, aka Tigger, aka Mr....

Announcements of announcements Silicon Studio and Mistwalker arejointly developing a new game, the studios just announced. What they won’t tell us is what the game is called, what it looks like, or when it might come out. But all will be revealed, they promise, at a later date. Who knows how soon? It’s a mystery! Also a mystery is this image (pictured above), which came along with today’s announcement. However, itfirst appearedon Mistwalker’s website in 2009 shortly after the company’s role-playing gameCry Onwascanceledin the middle of development, and then later showed up during thepromotional campaignforTerra Battlealong with apledges of a console game....

The Orange Box comes out this week and I can’t wait to playPortalandHalf-Life: Episode 2.Team Fortress 2is also coming out with it and you already know howI feel about the game. The good Reverend Anthony has had a giant hard-on for it though and you should check out hisvaluable tips on how to not look like an idiot. Aside from that,Rock ‘N’ Roll Adventureslooks like a god damn Nintendo 64 game!...

Fresh code Klei has been killing it. I haven’t gotten around toInvisible, Inc.yet, but today’sSteam sale($11.99 until August 10) will remedy that. My boy Steven gave the turn-based stealth game a10 out of 10, which is a rare sight. He even dug it while it was still unfinished in Early Access. Even rarer! There’s something for current players, too, as the 11th update is now live. Besides bug fixing and balancing, the game has added more programs, starting room variations, and improvements (“Open single door hotkey – default is F,” “Item requirements always show”)....

And it plays beautifully too Before I was able to playOri and the Blind Forest, Microsoft Studios producer Daniel Smith rattled off a list of influences for the game, which sets lofty, perhaps unreasonable, expectations. He cited the works of Hayao Miyazaki,Super Meat Boy,Limbo, andMetroid. Though each has achieved greatness in its own right, the grouping is a strange one. Imagine my surprise and delight to find that the influences are not only clear, but that they work wonderfully together....

Podtoid hits the Destructoid frontpage every Thursday! [Incredibly Important Note:The full title isHomelessMen Masturbating with Glow-in-the-Dark Paint, but that was too big for the Destructoid headline. I need you ALL to know this!] On this week’s Podtoid, the gang ponders the conglomeration of Disney and opens a planetarium to ponder the nature of the universe and give homeless men some honest work. We also chat about how pretty theHitman Collectionis, and angrily flick through aFire Emblemart book to try and find Jonathan Holmes....

Credit where it’s due A few days ago, Microsoft had aHalo 5mural painted on a building in London. This video shows the creation process. It’s nice, as these things tend to be — at least as nice as possible when it’s Master Chief’s head splayed across three stories. Sometime since then, hopefully in the thick of the night, someone“vandalized” it. The word “Traitor” is now scrawled on it in giant red letters....

Just when I was getting thoroughly sick of zombie games, along comes Tecmo with another one. Only,thisone turns the entire idea of zombie slaughter on its head and manages to do something surprisingly fresh with the whole theme. Take the minion-style gameplay ofOverlord, mix it up with someDynasty Warriorshack n’ slash, then sprinkle zombies over the whole thing. You now haveUndead Knights. Oh, and don’t forget the ludicrious hair metal soundtrack....

Improved damage tech demonstrated As a casual observer ofStar Citizen, I’ve struggled to keep up to date with the game’s open development. It can be overwhelming. That’s why I appreciate this recent video covering the damage model — it’s accessible. Blowing up spaceships? Yeah, cool, I’m right there with you. The real fun starts at about a minute in when entire chunks of a ship are shot offPatchwork Heroesstyle. (Do you remember that game?...

A tactless blast of unbridled imagination Earlier this year, I did a little volunteer play testing forVivian Clark,an approximately 12 hour long game hidden inside of another game calledSoda Drinker Pro, I also donated a few sounds that my 7-month-old son had made for a 10-second-long sequence that’s hidden even deeper in the thing, so deep that 90% of people who play the game will probably never see it. This all came together after I spoke to the game’s developer aboutKanye West for a video Dtoid put out last year....

Like your console gaming experiences hardcore, with nary a Wiimote in sight? The latest from SCEA’s Scott Steinberg ought to be music to your ears. In a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Steinberg addressed issues such as future plans for the PS3 and why Sony is uninterested in reeling in the “senior” demographic. Direct from the interview: “I think the notion of that controller is a non-trivial point that you’ve brought up, that control and that familiarity is like comfort food – from my perspective, we lead, we don’t follow,” he said....

If you can’t have exclusive titles, then you may as well have someexclusive contentthat can sell a game for your system. Such is the case withSpider-Man 3for the PlayStation 3.Check outwhat kind of exclusive junk you’ll be able to get (which, by the way, is pretty damn cool for anySpidey fans): The PS3-exclusiveSpider-Man 3: Collector’s Edition: Scheduled for a simultaneous release with the regular version of Spider-Man 3 in early May, Spider-Man 3 Collector’s Edition will add a number of bonus features not available on other platforms....
