Sorry Kim Jong Un. Some days are full of spectacular technology and triumph, while some days are just full of embarassing failure. I’m not a politician, someone remotely important, nor do I feel one country should tell another what to do. However, you’ll have to excuse as I let out a chuckle about the ill fate of the dear rocket. It’s not all sad news. Around the network we were met with great success!...

If I wasn’t on board with the game before today, I would be now having seen this trailer....
What Destructoid Editor-in-Chief Nick Chester wants, he gets. Here’s a perfect example: Electronic Arts teased about “Vampire Sims” coming out of aSims 3Creator Camp at their Redwood Shores campus recently. The problem was that there was no proof, as EA did not send along any vampire pictures. Butmy pampered boss bitches, and then screenshots are hand-delivered on a silver platter today, alongside the finest wines and cheeses. He’s not in the office, so I crammed down the goodies....

Yes! I love the DualShock 4. Outside of the Wii U GamePad it’s currently my favorite controller, with the Xbox One remote not far behind. It really is a great generation in terms of control options, yeah? Anyways, you can now use your Dualshock 4 wirelessly on your PS3 after the latest firmware update. You could always just plug it into the system, but now you can go to your Bluetooth settings on your PS3, register a new device, then hold the Share and PlayStation buttons on your DS4 — presto, it works....

The horror genre doesn’t always have to be nightmarishly terrifying. Sometimes a good light horror is enough to get into the season’s mood. That being said, this list will have a little bit of everything, so there should be something for everyone.

Free substantial updates help (there’s more on the way!), but co-op single-handedly sealed the deal. I literally doubled my playtime with that in the bag.

Takes to forum to argue his studio’s case [Update:Anonymous no more! It appears that this comment comes fromXavier Piox, the Ubisoft managing director who recently said that “gaming is no longer just for geeks.”Errr… guess not. It’s just a random dev who left the team at the end of January following completion of the project.] Rayman Legendscoming to Xbox 360 and PS3 is good news, but Ubisoft didn’t get the praise it hoped for when it revealed a multiplatform release was coming at the expense of the Wii U’s release date....
