Did you realize that the Xbox 360 is now four-years-old? I sure didn't until recently, and that got me to wondering just when might we start seeing the next generation of gaming consoles roll out.

The winner of Destructoid Game of the Year 2009

"Some people seem to complain that this was a rough year for videogames when compared to the glory of 2007 and the not-as-glorious, but still pretty impressive, 2008. To that, I say, "Fiddlesticks!" Sure, some of the huge releases of the year were pushed back to 2010, but that doesn't mean there weren't a ton of great games to play in 2009! Fiddlesticks to all of you naysayers out there! FIDDLESTICKS!

Just look at our list of nominees for Destructoid Game of the Year 2009 (and the runner-ups!). They are all pretty gosh-darned great videogames! All last week we revealed the five nominees, and now it's time to reveal the winner. I know most of you lost sleep all weekend waiting for this historic moment, but it's finally here."

Officially The Worst Game On The Wii

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 23:22:05 GMT

Sukeban Shachou Rena is a game on the Wii, sadly only available in Japan, it is a compilation mini-game collection all about cats in an office. Now I know what you're thinking; that sounds great and those Japanese have done it again, surely we'll get a release over here.

You're wrong though, Sukeban Shachou Rena has sold a total of 100 copies, one hundred, making it the worse selling game on the Wii. I guess even the Japanese have their limits, although they're set very high on the weirdness spectrum. View the video to see what we in the west will never get to experience.

Americas Preorder Charts - 19th Dec 09

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:42:33 GMT

VGChartz writes: "God of War III continues to lead the latest preorder chart with around 160,000 preorders. We still expect total preorders to top out at over 450,000 units and for God of War III to perform similarly to it's immediate predecessor. All of the games in the top 7 have a number of weeks to go until release and should see strong increases in preorders in the new year once the holiday season has finished and gamers start to look towards their next purchases."

Why 'Avatar' didn't change anything for gamers

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 17:29:51 GMT

Destructoid writes:

"If you're like me, you probably saw James Cameron's Avatar over the weekend. If you're really, really like me, you didn't find it particularly impressive. You may have found James Cameron's bazillion-dollar opus boring not because of the cliched plot, or the needless narration, or the uninteresting characters, or the pretty-good-but-not-as-great-as-the-idiots-with-Comic-Con-press-badges-said-it-was CGI, but because of one fairly simple fact:

Avatar wanted to do things videogames are already better at."
