It’s still streaming though It was made pretty clear that the newMega Mancartoon,Fully Charged, was aiming for a young audience. Having watched the episodes available so far: yep, I can confirm that, and the show is actually a little better than I initially thought it would be. Sadly, there might not be any room for growth as Cartoon Network has removed the series from its schedule. As reported by the Cartoon Network Schedule Archive, it seems like the Sunday slot of doom (6:30AM ET), and early portent, is no more....

Germany also in the clear Motorola tried to shut down the sale of the Xbox 360 and other Microsoft products over a patent fees dispute, but it didn’t stick. Motorola wanted somewhere near $4 billion a year for the use of some pretty standard tech, but Microsoft was looking to pay a bit less at around $1 million. This case went to trialearly last month, and just now the judge has denied Motorola’s request for a ban....

Popular iOS titleDoodle Jump(pictured above)is headed to Xbox Live Arcade, which is good news for fans of simple, easy-to-play platformers. It’s bad news, however, for people who don’t enjoy moving around. Developer Lima Sky has confirmed that the XBLA version of the game will utilize Kinect in someway, shape, or form. How that will work isn’t clear.Doodle Jumpinvolves a lot of jumping, and the idea of having to do all of that hopping in my living room is already making my knees buckle....

It sounds like gamescom 2010 was an eye opener for Kojima Productions. Their crative director, Shigenobu Matsuyama, told VideoGamer that he’s embracing the Xbox 360 and now even thinking about the PC as a future platform for their games. At gamescom Matsuyama said “We see publishers – Capcom have started a little bit earlier than us – and I can say most of the Japanese studios have seen the importance of going multi-platform, and our studio as well....

Two characters in one It’s getting to the point where I’m starting to get lost when selecting a Champion inLeague of Legends. Sure, the newest kid on the block, Kindred, has a giant floating mask for an icon and the list is in alphabetical order, but with 127 characters in all, there’s room for confusion. Every so often though I find a new favorite and always seem to recall their spot on the list....

No, not Sydrome, Incrediboy LEGOgames are as inevitable as death and taxes, but not every series gets one. It would have been pretty cool to wander around a fully realizedZootopiaworld for instance, but despite its massive box office take, it was neverLEGO-fied into its own thing.The Incrediblesseem to be an exception though, as the existence of their own game has just leaked. Confirmation comes by way of LEGO supersite Brick Fan, in which they found an early Walmart flier that teases aLEGO Incrediblesgame to go along with upcoming real life playsets....

Bless you, Uncle Death Let it Dieis continuing to hang in there, and even though I peaced out a while ago, it’s pleasing to hear that it’s resonating. As of June 03, 2025, the latest figure for the free-to-play hack-and-slash survival game is a cool three million downloads. That total goes for North America, Europe, and Asia. In case you missed it, Grasshopper Manufacture is still moving ahead withcontent updates....

I hope he’s kidding As a rule, I don’t write about Kickstarters unless they’re run by an established developer like Harmonix or Double Fine. It’s true — in my near-2,000 posts for this site, I can’t remember a time when I’ve written about a specific crowdfunding project. There’s just too much that could go wrong for the consumer/backer/investor and I don’t think it’s worth the risk.Ifit gets funded, sure, then I’ll write about it; then it’s just a video game that’s in development like all others....

Did you figure out ourlittle tease? It was indeed a big, glowing eyeball, one of the new features on the latest iteration of the Mr. Destructoid helmet. Once again courtesy ofVolpin Props, this piece of high fashion will no doubt be all the rage in hipster bars nationwide… until Niero grows bored of the frivolity and requests another helmet, of course. Probably made of solid gold next time. PhotographerDan Almasysnapped a few photos of the new helmet in action and graciously shared them with us....

With the immense popularity of the DS and DSi across the world, you’d think publishers would be falling over each other to put as muchstuffon Nintendo’s handheld system as possible. According toBig Blue Bubble, developer ofFighting Fantasy: Warlock of Firetop Mountain, you’d be wrong — it’s just not easy to make a DS game these days. “We were struggling to find a publisher for the title,”explainsCEO Damir Slogar. “Everyone we showed the game loved it but the ‘big guys’ like EA, Ubi or Activision were not interested in DS only titles....

Steam Summer Sale ends in cheat cull In the wake of last week’s Summer sale, it is being reported that upwards of 40,000+ accounts were hit with the banhammer by Steam on grounds of being naughty cheats. Game-hackers often take advantage of sales to scoop up copies of games, such asCounter Strike: GOandDota 2, on multiple accounts. This allows them to test out various hacks and cheats safe in the knowledge that if the new account is banned, then their “real” account is still safe....

Last week, Microsoft confirmed it wouldbring more first-party titles to other platforms.

Then,Hi-Fi Rushfor PS5leaked a little early. Now, Xbox has confirmed all four games:Grounded, Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, andSea of Thieves....

Alternatively titled The Short Adventure of Johnny Spacernaut I don’t have a ton of experience with survival games. I playedThe Forestlast week for the first time in a couple years, barely remembering how to build a fire when I came upon an outpost that my friends had built with blood and sweat and wood and rope. My initial feeling was a punched-gut jealousy that I hadn’t had the time to delve into a survival game and walk away with an intensely personal tale of how I scraped my way to success....
