He’ll be in Sapienza on Thursday The next limited-time target for players to hunt down inHitmanwill be actor Gary “The Wildcard” Busey, as decided by you,Twitter user who chose#KillBusey instead of #KillCole. Are you on some government watch list after casting your vote? Almost certainly. But who isn’t these days? I’ve seen it posited that Gary Busey is unkillable, so this could be a tough one. We’ll have seven days to find him in Sapienza beginning this Thursday, July 21 at 5:00am Pacific....

Like their recent change-up for exotic weapons Bungie recently did a new pass onDestiny 2‘s exotic weapons, tuning them up so that people will actually use them outside of the few meta min-maxed items for high-end content. It was long overdue, but they left out a huge aspect of the re-tooling — armor. Yep, for the most part outside of very few pieces of gear like the Orpheus Rig (which pretty much rocked day one), armor is extremely underwhelming....

The results are in, and the winners ofGod of War IIAlternate Costume Contest havebeen announced! The three, fan-created, alternative costumes will appear in the game — Hydra Armor, Cod of War, and an outfit that can only be described asKratostaking advantage of a “First Tan’s Free!” offer at Hollywood Tans. I’d like to thank everyone who made this possible, particularly the entireDestructoidcommunity whobanded together behind Cod of War. Finally, something to get me excited about this stupid game....

Watch as $60 games push the not-free-to-play model Dead Space 3is going to see a fair few changes, boasting a faster pace, cover-based shooting, and a weapon crafting system. While I’m not a big fan of some of the alterations, the one thing Ididfind praiseworthy was that latter element — that is, until Visceral revealed the potential reason why it exists. It’s another way to push freemium elements into a non-free game....

Updated: June 12, 2025 We looked for new codes! Do you ever wish to leave everything behind and become one of those wackyHistory Channeltreasure hunters prowling the wastelands with a metal detector? Me too. WithDesert Detectors, you can let those intrusive thoughts win and have fun without getting eaten by a coyote. You’ll probably get a lot of rusty bean cans before you hit the jackpot, so stay patient. You know what they say....

(Only half of that is me, honest) Destinyhas over 20 million players. Together, they have clocked up a combined total of twobillionhours play time since launch. That works out at around 100 hours of gameplay from each player. (Which is around half of what I’ve sunk into it, I think. Someone help me.) The news comes via Activision’s quarterly investor call, which also confirmed that theHouse of WolvesDLC was successful in bringing Guardians back to the game....

It’s fair to say that Koei’sDynasty Warriorsseries gets more coverage on Destructoid than possibly any other games media outlet. The fact is, I’m crazy about the games and I don’t care who knows it. The first few games provided an ingenious take on the hack n’ slash genre when they were released, and while Koei hasn’t helped the series endear itself to gamers with numerous sequels, the hardcore fanbase just keeps coming back for more....

Looks like the ratherhilarious rumorsconcerningBattlefield Premiumare pretty much true. Although Electronic Arts wouldn’t discuss the details, it did confirm thatBattlefield Premiumwas indeed a thing, declaring that the world wastoo excitedto wait for an announcement. “Looks like the excitement forBattlefield Premiumcannot be contained,” EA comically toldJoystiq. “For details, please visit Battlefield.com on June 4.” The already controversial service will cost $50 and contains all five expansion packs, alongside future DLC, exclusive in-game items, the power to reset stats, AND server queue priority — by far the most aggravating bit....

Customers apparently ’embracing’ EA’s shakedown [Update:According toTheSixthAxis, EA’s CFO “misspoke” on the subject of game prices, and is actually expecting games to cost between $49 and $59, rather than the $69 he original talked about. Don’t worry, they can always make up that missing ten bucks with more DLC!] The controversialaddition of microtransactionstoDead Space 3apparently wasn’t controversial enough, according to Electronic Arts. By way of CFO Blake Jorgensen, we’ve learned customers have “embraced” the idea of paying piecemeal for contentthey already paid $60 to access— and EA’s going to do it across its library....

There’s a new Oceania tab too [Update:Square Enix has explained thatFinal Fantasy XIVcongested servershave led to congestion for transfers, too: “We are currently experiencing a high volume of applications for Home World Transfer Service, and it’s causing major congestion. If you are experiencing congestion when accessing the Home World Transfer Service page on Mog Station, please wait a few moments and try again.” Make a note of it if you’re having issues!...

Despite all of the recentissues with staffing, it seems as if LucasArts is still on schedule with the game considering that the demo was promised to hit about this timelast month. The demo will have a tutorial mode that demonstrates how to use the infamous Force Grip power and will take place in an early level dubbed TIE Fighter Construction Facility....

Kevin Pereira am cry Gamers and all-around lovers of nerd culture love it when shows or outlets hire very attractive women for their programs in order to cater to that lower demographic and drive ratings. This appeared to be the case back in the day when the G4 network brought along Olivia Munn to a somewhat-popular show amongst us nerdy folk calledAttack of the Show. For some at the time, this signified the downfall of not only the show, but the lack of focus and intent that it and the network originally had — believe it or not, G4TV was actually pretty good for a decent number of years....
