You may remember that, last summer, Igave you a lookat howStarCraft II‘s single-player mode was shaping up. Earlier this week, we were invited back to see what’s changed as the game gets closer to release. Because most of the fundamental gameplay systems haven’t changed, this is going to focus mostly on the three new levels we saw, how they eventually decided to handle the research aspect of the game, and the new Challenge Mode....

Not content with letting the N-Gage have all the … haha … fun of being a game system that’s also a phone, Sony have gone and signed afour-year dealwith top UK telecommunications company BT to add new communication features to the PSP, turning it into a phone as well as a movie player, music player and game player, playa. The plan is to intergrate BT’s wireless video and voice service, ‘Softphone’ into the PSP, with intent to add extra features over the following months that would allow your PSP to contact PCs, landlines and cellphones....

This sin is twice as original! While I definitely loved the firstOriginal Sin, it did leave a lot to be desired. Needless to say, I was excited when the sequel got announced and even more excited when I found out the game took place 1,000 years or so later so I didn’t have to try and remember all the details of the first game. So far, the sequel is good enough to completely erase any memory I had from the first one, becausethisis the game I wanted the whole time....

Do it for Kaito If you enjoy theYakuzaseries,Judgmentis probably on your PS4 by now (or it’s at least sitting on your to-do list). The two truly go hand-in-hand. But if you don’t have a connection to those dramatic, silly, face-smashing action-adventure romps,Judgmentcan be a harder sell–there aren’t many other games like it on the market today. To help draw in some fresh faces, Sega now hasa prologue demo. The prologue covers the very basics ofJudgment, from street brawls and investigations to tailing and obstacle-filled chases....

I bought my Sega Saturn back when I was in college. Before that, I didn’t know a single person who had ever owned one. It had only been off the market for a decade, but games for it were tough to come by; still are. It sold nearly 10 million units. I have no hard numbers on this, but anecdotally, it seems to have barely made a ripple in Canada. Even knowing that the platform was mostly just popular in Japan, I would think I’d remember a section for Saturn games inZellers....

Let’s remember the good times [Every Friday (or whenever), Destructoid will pose topical a question to the community. Answer it if you want!] As you may have heard, the PlayStation 2is officially dead. Sony has halted all production of the console worldwide, marking the end of an amazing 12 year run. The PS2 dominated the last-generation of gaming, standing victoriously over Nintendo’s GameCube and Microsoft’s Xbox. There were a ton of amazing games released for the system and it’s almost daunting trying to remember all my favorites....

At the risk ofplayingDestiny 2incorrectly, the odds are good that you, too, use a third-partyDestinyinventory manager of some sort to move items around via your browser, phone, or some other digital implement. Now, though, there’s a new tool at your disposal, known as Deepsight.gg. The creator of Deepsight.gg, known under their Reddit username ChiriVulpes, posted about the inventory manager’s releaseon theDestiny 2subreddit, where they explained what makes this tool such a big deal....

So they made him DLC The Behemoth,Evolve‘s fourth monster, is a big boy. “He was literally made as large as we could make him,” says developer Turtle Rock Studios. The dude is so big he can’t even jump. Jumping is totally overrated, though. Leave that to the bunnies. This creature can roll around, throw exploding balls of magma, snatch up prey with its harpoon-like tongue and isolate them further by summoning walls of rock....
