Good news According to a recent update from id Software itself, both the PC and console editions ofDoomwill run at their maximum potential. That translates to a 1080p60 experience. In fact, lead programmer Billy Khan noted that their goal was to “be the best looking game at 1080p in 60fps.” This is partially influenced by the use of idTech 6, which makes that goal easier to achieve. So yeah, there you have it....

GAME OVER, MAN! While I’ve personally gushed over it a few times, Destructoid hasn’t done a proper preview for New Blood Interactive’sAmid Evil. To give you a quick rundown, think a modern take onHereticand you’ll be pretty close to what the game is trying to achieve. This is an arcane inspired first-person shooter that has fast and furious combat mixed with oddball enemy designs and medieval-like architecture. Much like its inspiration, this is a very different beast from shooters currently releasing on the market (which are mostly either sci-fi or military)....

It turns up in several places Hogwarts Legacyhas a world that’s built for discovering small little Easter eggs and cameos, and that includes the Giant Squid in the Black Lake (otherwise known as The Great Lake) that surrounds Hogwarts. Here are all of the known appearances from said squid, and how to see them in the game. The Giant Squid has a quick appearance during the Flying Class quest I would call this appearance a “blink and you’ll miss it” moment, but it shows up for several seconds during a key story mission....

The main complaint leveled atDante’s Infernoother than the fact that the game is bastardizing a great work of literature is that it is simply aGod of Warclone. We here at Destructoidfound itto be a very goodGod of Warclone and thus eliminated that from our complaint book as doing something well, even if it isn’t entirely original, is still doing something well. One of the men behindGod of War 3,director Stig Asmussen,seems to beof the same opinionas he has come out saying that theGoWteam was immensely curious aboutDante’s Inferno....

Not surprisingly,God of War IIled the U.S. sales charts for March. But what is somewhat surprising is the fact that the Wii demoWii Playclaimed a spot in the top five. Huh? Is it a lack of games causing this or did Wii owners simply want another Wiimote? I’m going to go with the Wiimote idea, because damn,Wii Playsucks. The other top sellers viaReuters: “God of War II” for the PlayStation 2 was the best selling video game in the United States in March, market research firm NPD Group said on Monday....

The above imagewas teasedby the official Twitter account forBatman: Arkham City. That sure does seem to be Harley Quinn, eh? On its own, this might not have much meaning, but when you look overthese leaked Trophiesfor unnameddownloadable content, everything comes together nicely. It sounds as if the add-on could be more substantial and story-based than the previous DLC released forArkham City. If so, I’m totally in. Looks Like Harley Quinn Will Be Hammering Back Into Batman: Arkham City in New DLC[Kotaku]...
