A recent study shows that more women prefer videogames to sex. What about you? We cover all that, plus a new DS game called Aliens Infestation, the new trailer from Metro Last Light, the virtues of the PS Vita, and the imminent launch of Bastion!
Episode 151 of the Destructoid Show:
http://www.destructoid.com/amd-next-xbox-to-have-graphics-rivaling-cameron-s-avatar-206358.phtml AMD -- the company responsible for the Xbox 360's graphics chip -- has boasted about the graphical capabilities of a console that technically isn't supposed to exist, claiming that Microsoft's next console will rival James Cameron Presents James Cameron's Avatar by Award Winning Director James Cameron on the graphical front. (Jim Sterling)
http://www.destructoid.com/esrb-dead-island-has-head-stomps-bikinis-bloody-torsos-206338.phtml The ESRB has rated Deep Silver's highly anticipated Dead Island, revealing all the juicy filth that it'll be pandering when it launches on September 6. Mutilated limbs, swearing, and disturbing bikini activity are all in attendance. Sounds like a videogame!(Jim Sterling)
http://www.destructoid.com/batman-arkham-city-collector-s-edition-content-revealed-206345.phtml Retailers GameStop and Best Buy have both listed the $99.99 set which will include an art book, animated Gotham Knight content, "early access" to downloadable add-on content, and a statue. The "premium statue" is designed by Kotobukiya, and will "bring the excitement of the game into the real world," whatever that means. Neither listing shows an image of the in-box goodies, but that sounds more like a diorama than a simple statue of the Dark Knight, if you ask me. (Nick Chester)
http://www.destructoid.com/ Volition's head writer has done a new commentary track for the original CG trailer, and revealed some new details.
http://www.destructoid.com/halo-anniversary-game-gets-avatar-skull-pre-orders-206342.phtml If you're champing at the bit to get your hands on Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, a high definition Xbox 360 remake of the original shooter, you'll probably swallow anything Halo-related whole. So this is for you: pre-order goodies for the upcoming game, which hits on November 15. (Nick Chester)

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