Like many video game hobbyists, I’ve had dreams of making a game of my own. Before I was even in high school, I had a binder full of designs for a game I had dreamt up, but I never really got the means to even attempt to make it. Programming has always bored me, and I tend to get frustrated with art. Even attempts at small projects to just motivate myself with some visible progress fizzled....

Check out everything Destructoid did today Well, things were awful quiet around here as everyone is exhausted from PAX (while still having the fourth day today) and it’s Labor Day here in the US, which we celebrate by not doing anything at all! So, wealmosttook that to heart, but still some things happened. Speaking of things happening, in the wee hours of the morning we had a karaoke party, we reviewedKickBeat, the hot new version ofBravely Defaultis making its way to the West, and not much more happened on 03-08-2025....
Perfect for today’s release of Sly Cooper Sly Cooper: Thieves in Timeis out today, and I’ve already had a stampede of readers who have no idea how to redeem their cross-buy copy. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Sony’s promotion, if you buy the $39.99 PS3 version ofSly Cooper(or any game within the cross-buy realm), you’ll get a free digital Vita copy. But this process isn’t as simple as redeeming a code included in the game....

It airs live every Sunday at 4pm EST onYouTube, and can be found in Podcast form onLibsynandiTunes.] FormerSup Holmes guest Zoe Quinnrecently announced that she’s writing an autobiographythat’s already been optioned for a film adaptation.

Taking back the streets on July 23 Growing up, one of my favorite genres was the side-scrolling beat-’em-up. FromFinal FighttoDouble Dragon, I was quite fond of the action found in traveling through different stages and kicking the asses of gang members and thugs that had done me wrong. By the current outlook, it’s starting to feel like a lost art with only a few niche titles carrying the proverbial fire. Thankfully, Sega still recognizes the strength and respect that the classic games command with the upcoming return to one of the most loved beat-’em-ups of all time....
