Luckily, I managed to wrangle out a couple stories from Destructoid’s veterans and youngins, including myself. You’ve read me talk aboutthe work that goes into being a journalist at E3, now hear from others what it’s like to be a drunken, dazed fool at gaming’s biggest expo....

More bad news for the eastern side of the Atlantic; Sony’s PlayStation 3 console isnot going to have the same kind of wonderful backwards compatibilitythat US gamers have enjoyed in the recent past. Of course, according to Sony, that’s a good thing! Here’s the justification for that mind-boggling statement: “Rather than concentrate on PS2 backwards compatibility, in the future, company resources will be increasingly focused on developing new games and entertainment features exclusively for PS3,” Sony Computer Entertainment said in a statement....

True, we know it’s coming out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but the release ofGuitar Hero IIIis great news for Wii owners since aGuitar Herogame has not yet come to a Nintendo console. What is strange about this news, though, is how it was announced. On Red Octane’s official Web site’sSupport Center(huh?), someone randomly asked the company whenGuitar Hero IIwas coming out. I guess they were stuck in a worm hole and did not realize that the PlayStation 2 version of the game came out about six months ago....

Tom Francis, the guy behindGunpoint, has a treat for us today. He’s got a new game out on Steam calledFloating Pointand it’s free,no strings attached. Using your mouse, you swing through randomly generated levels while listening to peaceful jams from Form & Shape.
