Vintage arcade-style football is back: the Game X Change Iron-Man of Gaming

Boy, that Ace Bricka is a regular Vince Lombardi, isn’t he? As Destructoid’s resident sports gamer, I see tons of comments on my posts along the lines of “I only care about sports games when you can hit someone after the play”, or “If you can’t get ‘on fire’, then I don’t care.” That’s fine; I spent many an afternoon in high school playingNFL Blitzon the PlayStation with my friends, so I enjoy arcade sports games, too....

Avatar: The Game ‘should never have existed’ says a man

Avalanche CEO Christofer Sundberg has been having a good old moan, righteously proclaiming that more bad games need to be canceled rather than pushed out the door in a bid to make some short-term cash. He especially picked on Ubisoft Montreal’s stunningly lazy and slapdash videogame adaptation ofJames Cameron Presents James Cameron’s Avatar By James Cameron, saying games like that give licensed products a bad name. “I still believe publishers should cancel more projects in case the developers fail to deliver quality, before the investments become too high,” he proclaims....
