NEWS - Codemasters is trucking on with DiRT showdown, and they've elected to show the destruction-based 8 Ball mode in this new trailer. The game comes out this May, and while I'm sure the series has its dedicated fans, I'm not sure how much more can be added to the formula. Then again I'm not as well-versed in the DiRT games, so what do you think? Sound off in the comments.

NEWS - After getting the chance to fly out to California to preview Darksiders II, I'm really excited for its launch this summer. However, THQ has announced that they are partnering with Random House's Del Ray imprint to release an original novel set in the Darksiders universe. Darksiders: The Abomination Vault will take place millennia before the events of the first Darksiders. On top of that, the Random House Publishing Group's intellectual property creation and development group will also be developing the IP bible for the Darksiders universe. Now I'm even more excited for the game's summer launch.

When it comes to Android games to look forward to in 2012, few have seemed to have as much potential as ngmoco?s freemium RPG Skyfall. The game entered closed beta a while ago, but no word was ever given on when it would move into a more public beta. As it turns out, it?ll be doing so right? NOW!

NEWS - The developers of Longbow Games spill some details on Hegemony Rome: Rise of Caesar in this new dev diary. They are depicting the Gallic conflict, the campaign that essentially made Caesar but is surprisingly not turned into more video games. Considering they are basically doing Caesar Begins, Longbow are pretty concerned with realism and attention to detail here. Check out the video for more info.

Watch The Destructoid Show on Virgin America NOW! screenshot

I can't believe I haven't posted about this yet, but if you happened to have flown Virgin America recently then perhaps you noticed our very own Destructoid Show hiding out in their "Best of the Web" category. We are indeed featured there, alongside four other Revision3 shows.

If you plan on traveling Virgin soon, I recommend enjoying an episode of our program the same way I do - with a tall gin and tonic, looking over at the person next to you and laughing loudly at your own jokes, waiting until they look over and eventually ask for your autograph.

New screens reveal a bit of XCOM: Enemy Unknown gameplay screenshot

February's cover title for Game Informer was the exclusive announcement of XCOM: Enemy Unknown. No, this is not related to the first-person shooter reboot of XCOM that is also in the works, but is instead a separate reboot that will be a return to the classic strategy gameplay from the original games.

Game Informer also recently put up a sneak peek of Enemy Uknown's gameplay with plenty of screenshots to get you excited. It looks like you'll be taking control of a small squad of soldiers as you defend or attack various areas from alien attack. The game looks pretty incredible from the small glimpse, so definitely go check that out.

Mobile Steam app now ready for the rest of us

Mobile Steam app now ready for the rest of us screenshot

It's not every day you get to use "Valve" and "fast" in the same sentence, but I'm inclined to do so given the quick transition from closed beta to full release for the new mobile Steam app.

It's a free download for Android and iOS, so you might as well. The app allows you to chat with Steam friends, view game listings, see what's on sale, and more. Having access to Steam on a device so close to your wallet is scary to think about. Unless you're a capybara, clearly.
