Today’s episode of The Destructoid Show is brought to you by a flock of magical falcons who carried it here in a net woven out of gossamer spider-silk. Okay, not really.

Sega released a developer diary forAliens: Colonial Marines, which features a bunch of Gearbox guys (who are all pretty cool guys) awkwardly putting on their glasses in slow motion and talking about how faithful the game is going to be to the original film....
A chance to quickly stock up Sony is running two notable sales this week. The first is an“Only on PlayStation” salepeppered with console exclusives, and the other is amonster of a PlayStation VR sale.

Sony humiliated in shock turn of events! When Sony had its PS4 reveal a while back, some people wondered why it had absolutely zero women on stage. Microsoft has today gained an early advantage in the console war, managing to fit not one, but TWO women in its Xbox One reveal. Even more amazing, the women in question wereon stage at the same time. Can the industry sustain this level of excessive liberalism?...

All the winners, in no particular order Another year, another gamescom. The show wrapped up last weekend and both Brett and I are safely home in the United States of America, clutching out guns and dystopian healthcare, but we’ve loosed out iron grip just long enough to type out some thoughts on the best games over at gamescom 2015.
