Kirby’s Dream Collectionis a bundle of some of the bestKirbygames ever for the Wii in celebration of the 20th anniversary. Just the fact it containsKirby’s Super Staris enough for me, and the added bonus of theKirbysoundtrack CD is like icing on the cake. If that’s not enough, Nintendo is throwing in a new challenge mode to give something new to longtime fans of the series. I only played through the first world of the challenge mode where I had to go through three levels....

Will be ‘actively on the offensive’ with the system in 2013 Following the PlayStation Vita’sJapanese price cut, SCE Japan president Hiroshi Kawano has toldFamitsuthe handheld is performing a “little” less impressively than it expected. That’sone brave wayof putting it. “Certainly, at the present time, maybe we’re a little behind the numbers we originally pictured,” he said. “I feel we have a ways to go in terms of getting across the good traits of the PS Vita, along with everything the software has to offer....

Meanwhile, there’s a rating for Batman: The Enemy Within At what point do we stop holding out for anotherWolf Among Us? Realistically, are we past it? I ask, but in truth, I don’t think I’m capable of letting go. There isn’t a single other Telltale episodic series I’d like to see continued more than this (the only thing that comes close isTales from the Borderlands).Fablesis arich propertywith so many characters and stories left for the studio to explore....

I was going to talk about something else, but… They are sending copies ofME3into space. Seriously. Nothing else I could post would be that awesome. In our everyday stuff, we have Jim Sterling saying some stuff about the Vita and then people whining about it. A new “Sup Holmes?”, and three previews. And the standard news-y stuff. Destructoid Original:ONLY 70 HOURS OF CONTENT?Ten whining PlayStation Vita nitpicksSup Holmes?: Skyrim is the most romantic game ever?...

Survival of the freest If the Bangles cared more about video games, they’d probably be singing “It’s just another Free Game Thursday.” It beats the hell out of Monday. Epic’s new round of free video games has an underlying theme of survival. In one, you survive getting eaten by giant hungry dinosaurs. In the other, you survive your opponent’s attempts to punch your face through your face. ARK: Survival EvolvedandSamurai Shodown NeoGeo Collectionare both free on the Epic Games Store until the morning of June 18....

Those with good memories willremember that Nick Chester, Destructoid’s Editor-in-Chief, stated that he was most excited about a DS title calledWan! Tertainment: Music Channel. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but now that I’ve seen this horrific trailer from the 2007 Tokyo Game Show, I fear for Nick, Destructoid, and the future of video gaming.What the hell is this? I mean,I know what it is: it’s a collection of mini-games for the Nintendo DS....

Um, wow [Update:Toys”R”Us put pre-ordersback upmomentarily this morning, and I expect them to either be faulty or drop very soon. Try to re-pre-order if you want at your own risk!] [Update 2:Now the retailer has taken off the listing entirely — there’s not even a “sold out” page. What a circus.] The day the Lucario amiibo went on sale, I pre-ordered it. As in, weeks ago. Now Toys”R”Us is canceling orders, including mine....

By the time I finish writing this article, another book will undoubtedly be added to the ever-expanding series of theHalouniverse. There are some fantastic and some not-so-fantastic entries in the list, but if you’re looking to fully grasp the lore of the series, you should take a read. Here is the order in which I think you should read theHalobooks for the most rounded experience. So many Halo books The world ofHaloopens itself to a lot of expansion,looking at the prelude, the histories of both races, the flood, and the list goes on....

But there’s always Kinect! It’s been nearly a week since Microsoft announced its decision toscrap their DRM policy— a decision met with some mixed, albeit mostly-positive reactions. In light of this, many gamers are now prepared to give the Xbox One a second chance, while others may find the $499 price tag a bit too steep. For that price, you’d feel it safe to assume Microsoft would toss in a headset....

Also look at H1Z1 At this point I have no idea how Sony’sDay’s Goneis going to fare. We seem to be reaching peak zombie, withThe Walking DeadTV series slowing down and the low financial results forH1Z1andOverkill’s The Walking Dead. Wait, didn’t that last one just launch on PC and isn’t it still set for a 2019 console release? Yes, yes it is. Speaking on the launch, PC publisher Starbreeze explained that they’re basically reworking the entire way they look at funding their games division due to recent losses....
