I've never really paid attention to Dynasty Warriors, as Chinese history usually isn't something that grabs my attention. Besides, I didn't think that I was missing much more than a whole lot of button mashing. Then Namco Ban... more

While it was already announced that Mass Effect Trilogy would hit PC and Xbox 360 on November 6 in North America, the last PlayStation 3 owners heard was an ominous "later date" for their version of the compilation. BioWare h... more

Fans that pre-order Black Ops II will be given the Nuketown 2025 map, as seen in the latest video from Treyarch. Nuketown was fun in the first Black Ops thanks to how small the map is, but there's an even better and smaller ... more
One of my favorite parts of getting a fresh new Devil May Cry game is working my way up to Dante Must Die mode (read: Very Hard) and beyond. There's something about the Devil May Cry series and its harder difficulty modes tha... more
It seems as if more XCOM is on the way: an announcement that couldn't have been better timed with the recent news that it sold fairly well. After the two announced DLC drops, the Elite Solider and the Slingshot Content Pack, ... more
Rising Star games dropped a little tease of Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut today, and what a tiny morsel it is. Following about a minute of quotes about the release from fine publications such as Giant Bomb, EGM and ... more
Okami HD released on PlayStation Network this week, but Capcom seems to think you might have another game on the brain. They released this new video by way of a reminder and, seeing as they have new Okami hoodie merchandise ... more
Sony released a creepy new trailer for the upcoming "teen horror" game from Supermassive, Until Dawn. There's a creepy cabin, buzzsaws, a dude who looks like he's having a bit of a bad day and Polaroids of kids with numbers ... more
As I pointed out in my original Sleeping Dogs review, the game sorely lacked ghosts. Now there are ghosts. Rejoice. more

[Full Disclosure: Not only do current and former Destructoid staff appear as unlockable character skins in the game, there's also a main story mission during which you go inside a giant Mr. Destructoid robot. For these reaso... more
Assassin's Creed III is likely to be one of the most massive titles of 2012. As vast as the American frontier it portrays and able to consume quite a few dozen hours with its single-player content alone, it is ambitious, visually stunning and packed with things to do. Whether or not many of these things are enjoyable depends on how much you like busywork. more
After it turned out that the new GoldenEye game didn't suck and Activision simultaneously published a new third-person Bond adventure in the form of Blood Stone (seriously flawed, but showed promise) I actually had ... more
Eight years after its release, Painkiller has received numerous expansions, mods-turned-retail-releases, and ports. Almost all of which have been terrible and too stubborn to update the game. Nearing its ten-year anniversa... more
Medal of Honor: Warfighter is a funny name. Yes, "Warfighter" is a term with a real-life military application, but that doesn't stop it from sounding incredibly silly. It is gratuitously macho, not to mention rather redundant... more
Mention DOOM 3 to most fans, and the common (disparaging) response will be, "Monster Closets." Earning criticism for its jump scares, lack of charisma, and stylistic departure from previous DOOM titles, DOOM 3 has not aged we... more
Skylanders was one of the biggest surprises of 2011. Pretty much everyone expected it to be a cheap cash-in of 90s nostalgia to sell toys to unsuspecting kids -- and boy, were we wrong. It was actually a pretty fun, serviceab... more
Borderlands has often been described, perhaps not unfairly, as "work." In the sense that it can be repetitive and monotonous, yes, but also in that it's largely driven by a kind of materialistic consumerism. There's not ... more
Of all the games I never expected to get a sequel, Naughty Bear was pretty high on the list. Not only was it a bottom-shelf title from a studio not exactly known for its long-running franchises, it was pretty underwhelming. A... more
One cannot help but wonder, after so many years of senseless violence and bloodshed, what is it that makes worms so murderous? I guess that if you lived in the dirt, looked a bit gross, and were so often at the mercy of a tro... more
A name can say a lot about a piece of art, with the particularly poetic ones giving you a clue as to where a project may be coming from. You can certainly get a good idea of the differences between The Unfinished Swan and Bat... more
The Unfinished Swan has come a long way since it was first revealed in 2008 as "that weird game where you chuck paint at white walls." It still is that weird game where you chuck paint at white walls, but there's a lot more t... more
The wasteland of Fallout may be impressive in terms of scale and detail, but I always feel a bit lonely in it. Defiance is such a world, but it’s one constantly shared with other players. At any time, your clan may s... more
Captain Scarlet and the Pirate's Booty is the first story expansion for Borderlands 2 and the overall plot sees you hunting after the legendary Captain Blade's lost treasure of the sands. The DLC takes place in Oasis, and the... more
Announced at gamescom earlier this year, Until Dawn puts players in control of the cast of characters in what looks to be a classic teen horror film. It's a PS3 title set for next year, and it uses the PlayStation Move contro... more
I finally had a chance to go hands-on with Sony's upcoming PS3 platformer Puppeteer here at New York Comic-Con at a PlayStation press event. It's as great as I imagined it would be after hearing about it at gamescom earlier t... more
In about two weeks, Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be released. While we've seen single-player content twice already, it wasn't until recently that we got to try out the game's multiplayer at length. Although the last game h... more
Criterion says that they pulled some of the best bits from several of their racing creations to make their latest, Need for Speed Most Wanted. They also gathered inspiration from the classic franchise title of the same name. ... more
The original Far Cry was an incredibly fun experience, with a varied deadly tropical landscape and relatively intelligent A.I. opponents for the time. The gameplay was both challenging and continuously engaging, and made me a... more

It hasn't been that long since we first got a look at Medal of Honor: Warfighter's single-player campaign. For general details, do be sure to check out that preview. Recently though, we got a chance to spend a few hours with the game including new single-player content. Specifically, two whole campaign missions. more
So we gave you a pretty extended detail look at Black Ops II's multiplayer not too long ago. It was a lot to take in, but guess what? There's more. So much more. In fact, Treyarch had us out for another visit just to see the ... more
If you haven't noticed by now, there's been a theme with Call of Duty: Black Ops II where everything has been getting revamped. Your actions in the single-player campaign will affect the ending, and multiplayer has ditched th... more

Up until recently, I've been exposed to Assassin Creed III in small doses. I saw an early glimpse of what to expect at the reveal event, enjoyed the new multiplayer offerings, and had fun sailing the seas. Yet in all thi... more
When I read that Ratchet & Clank would gain a traditional third-person entry later this year, I pooped the bed. I literally pooped the bed and you should never poop in the bed. But, after playing the game, I deeply regret... more
Call of Duty: Black Ops II has a new live-action trailer in the same vein as the first game's, continuing the "Soldier in all of us" marketing line. This time around we have mechs, drones, horses, and Robert Downey Jr. in a jet. As you do. Regardless of what folks think of the game, it is a pretty cool bit of footage, don't you think? more
BioShock Infinite's been quiet for a while, but Irrational's awakened the world with a Sunday surprise, offering an all-new trailer. It's called "Beast of America," and it shows off a ton of gameplay. Looks pretty cool, and hopefully the new footage is indicative that Infinite's on the right path after all manner of speculation that it was in trouble. more
Sleeping Dogs next downloadable content is called Nightmare in North Point and it's bringing on zombies! Well, not in the traditional zombie sense. The DLC sees Big Scar Wu rising from hell to exact revenge against the Sun O... more

I never realized before my hands-on time with Assassin's Creed III's multiplayer just how much fun the mode is. So much fun that it's easily going to be in my multiplayer rotation this year along side Black Ops II, Halo 4, a... more
Can you believe DOOM 3 came out eight years ago? To be honest, I feel like it didn't even really need an HD release. To me it still looks fantastic. Oh well, I guess it looks even better now, so that's cool. Also, it's in 3D... more
We're less than a month away from Call of Duty: Black Ops II hitting store shelves now! The launch trailer has just been released, and it shows off a ton of things you can expect to do in the single-player campaign. Grapplin... more
