http://www.destructoid.com/doritos-says-female-online-gamers-prefer-games-to-sex-206157.phtml In what can only be described as hilarious news, Doritos -- yes, the people who make pointy snacks -- conducted a survey to reveal that women who play online games prefer clicking mice to getting a firm one right up themselves.

Aliens Infestation revealed by ESRB

http://www.destructoid.com/esrb-confirms-aliens-infestation-206154.phtml Aliens: Infestation has been properly outed by the ESRB. We first heard about it when it was revealed as a canceled project, before the OFLC revealed its name. Since then, SEGA has refused to officially announce the WayForward-developed DS shooter, but the ESRB seems quite sure it's happening. (Jim Sterling)

Metro Last Light First Gameplay Trailer

http://www.destructoid.com/metro-last-light-gets-first-public-video-demonstration-206085.phtml THQ has started to release the Metro: Last Light gameplay demo is kindly showed us behind closed doors at E3 this year. I say "started" because it's been broken into three parts and is getting drip-fed to the Internet. Because that's not annoying at all. (Jim Sterling)
