Surprise! There’s a creepy girl on Calling’s box art

Surprise! There's a creepy girl on Calling's box art screenshot

While the trailer for Hudson’s Calling had an element of camp to it, I’m willing to believe it could provide some creepy moments. After all, you do play as a generally defenseless characters, which always seems to provide more intensity in games than it does it films.

That stated, I’m not much into the whole J-Horror scene. Never have been, for one reason or another. And this game looks mad J-Horror. So no, I can’t state that Calling is especially high up on my radar, and it’s sounding like many of you feel the same way about it.

To keep on the sunny side, here’s one compliment: the box art looks pretty intriguing. Since that’s the main goal of cover art, mission accompli–hold on. I can’t get over how out of place the Hudson logo looks on the box. It’s so damned adorable.

Longoria confirmed for MLB 2K10 cover, you vote on design

Longoria confirmed for MLB 2K10 cover, you vote on design screenshot

Last week, a survey leaked to Kotaku suggested that Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria would be on the cover of 2K Sports’ Major League Baseball 2K10. 2K sent out a press release earlier today to make it official, but we now know that the four covers that the survey included were mere mock-ups. Six different box art designs, available for your viewing in the gallery below, accompanied the press release; you can vote for your favorite at 2ksports.com/vote. (They did the same thing for NBA 2K10.)

Longoria, like MLB 2K9 cover athlete Tim Lincecum, is one of baseball’s most swiftly rising stars; he made the AL All-Star team in his first two years in the league, and he recently won his first Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards. And he isn’t related to Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria.

Which cover do you guys like? I like the one pictured above. MLB 2K10 will be out in March for the PS3, 360, Wii, PS2, PSP, and Personal computer. Cover voting will be open for two weeks, until noon EST on December 8th.

Tis’ the season for gift giving. With some many great games released this year, finding the perfect gift for that gamer in your life (or for yourself, you selfish jerk!) can be quite a task.

That’s where we come in. Destructoid staff writers were asked to make a few holiday, game-related gift picks, either based on personal choice or simply in the spirit of giving. The results were wide and varied, as each staff member’s tastes and gaming experiences, uh, vary widely. We’re quite an eclectic bunch, that’s for sure.
