From Dust is out today, and that means Summer of Arcade is in full swing. We've got the comprehensive previews of games like Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Toy Soldiers Cold War, Fruit Ninja Kinect, and reviews of Bastion and From Dust. Plus, Battlefield 3 PS3/360 vs PC - what's missing?
http://www.destructoid.com/destructoid-wants-your-balls-in-ms-splosion-man-pinball-207088.phtml Do you know how long we've been wanting to talk about this? I swear it's like a walking around with grenades in your shorts! I'm so ridiculously excited to announce today that Mr. Destructoid is in Pinball FX2 on the Xbox 360! (Niero Gonzalez)
http://www.destructoid.com/driver-san-francisco-pc-needs-constant-net-connection-207204.phtml Remember that crappy Ubisoft DRM that required PC games to maintain an Internet connection in order to work? It's back, baby! Driver: San Francisco will use the controversial DRM method, because constantly checking in with a publisher like some registered sex offender is the FUTURE! (Jim Sterling)
http://www.destructoid.com/dice-discusses-what-s-cut-out-of-battlefield-3-on-console-207120.phtml There's no doubt that Battlefield 3 will have some significant disparity between the PC and console versions, most notably in terms of size. PC multiplayer will feature 64 players, while Xbox 360 and PS3 will only handle 24. Despite this, however, DICE doesn't think the console versions will be of a significantly lower quality. (Jim Sterling)
http://www.destructoid.com/new-screenshots-for-resident-evil-4-code-veronica-x-hd-207225.phtml Resident Evil 4 will be first, launching on Xbox 360 via Games on Demand and PlayStation Network on September 20. Then comes Resident Evil Code: Veronica X a week later on September 27 for those same digital platforms. These titles are set at $19.99 a piece, or, 1600 Microsoft Points if that's how you roll. (Jordan Devore)
http://www.destructoid.com/review-bastion-206398.phtmlBastion instantly endears itself to those who grew up with such titles as Secret of Mana, taking the form of a traditional action role-playing game with plenty of hack n' slash combat and cool weapons to discover. Players step into the shoes of "The Kid" in a world torn apart by an event known only as The Calamity. The silent hero becomes embroiled in a quest to repair The Bastion, a safe haven that might be able to restore a world that has become utterly shattered.
http://www.destructoid.com/review-from-dust-207068.phtml Anybody who has even glanced at From Dust can tell you that it is unique. Describing it in simple terms is quite difficult indeed, which is strangely ironic, for the game is, itself, deceptively simple.

@Jeremy_LaMont You're confused - we have a "no 'no swears rule' rule." Otherwise known as an "all swears" rule.
