Remember that guy who said Microsoft's Xbox division cannot be sustained by the company? Well, here comes another analyst with the same suggestion, going so far as to believe rival Sony could acquire the brand. Them's some da... more
My favorite part was when all the clothing erupted off the characters' bodies in a whirlwind of shredded fabric. Hm. Okay. Maybe it is sexist after all. Or not. I don't know. I'm still too busy enjoying that killer music. Oh... more
The facial expression of this man simultaneously dressed as a pimp and Pikachu says it all, until you notice the woman on the left of the photograph. Oh, but just wait -- if you go look at the full image, you'll then see that... more
When it comes to controllers, I try to steer clear of third-party options, as I've never once had a better experience with a knock-off versus the real thing. On the other hand, I gladly welcome any and all limited edition pad... more
Let's face it: waking up in the morning sucks, but Sony has a new game of sorts to make that harsh reality a little more tolerable. Wake-up Club is essentially an alarm clock with social game elements for your PlayS... more
Jhonen Vasquez of Invader Zim and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac fame is the master of the weird and disgusting. His wonderfully grotesque take on the "normal" is no more apparent than with Creepachu! This warped take on Pikachu... more
So, like, this is nothing new. We briefly brought up Japan World Cup, a weird-ass horse race-betting DVD game, a couple years back. You might not have heard of it. Or, if you are like me, you completely forgot that this is a thing that exists. Consider this a refresher course in "Japan is f*ckin' nuts" 101. [Vinesauce] Studyguy - Japonies 2013 [YouTube] more
This is... well... umm... you know what? I'm not even going to explain it. The latest Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'? is brilliance, plain and simple. Go watch it and have a good laugh or two. Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'? - Civilization V [GameTrailers] more
Oh, LOST. I loved you. You were such an addicting show, even when the plot got horribly stupid. And thanks to College Humor's on going series of turning everything into a Super Nintendo RPG, I want to rewatch every single episode on Netflix. more
Shaquille O'Neal has returned to gaming thanks to Hiptic Games, the developer of ShaqDown. An appropriately ridiculous-looking Android and iOS title available as of today, this $0.99 game isn't going to win any awards for or... more
As I said yesterday, mind-blowing stuff can happen at any second at MAGFest. The kind of stuff that people will be talking about for years to come. Stuff like a random dance battle in the middle of the dealer room. I'm on my... more
You'd expect to play as a wizard or warrior in a Dragon Quest game, but in this McD DS downloadable promotional game in Japan, you can also play as a McDonald's crew member or store manager. DS title Dragon Quest VII: McDonal... more
The Wii U's Miiverse community network is my absolute favorite thing about the console thus far. This is in no small part due to our very own Jim Sterling's declaration that the community for Rabbids Land would see better us... more
It's tough not to be a fan of Critter Crunch and Super Time Force developer Capybara Games when they go and do something awesome like make 12 holiday-themed .gifs for our enjoyment. Granted, only nine of the set have been pos... more
Imagine it. You're playing a game, having a great time, and then BAM! Your game glitches out. Sometimes the glitch can be funny. Other times, well, I hope your game auto-saved before all chaos broke out. more
A reinterpretation of a Christmas classic. more
Within my first thirty minutes of playing Black Knight Sword, I encountered a menu option called "cat head grass," a giant mother eye that eats hearts, and severed skulls in a microwave oven that serve as health power-ups. Yep, this is definitely a Grasshopper Manufacture joint. more
The funny physics sandbox of Garry's Mod and Kinect seem like a winning combination. If you don't think so, I'd recommend taking a look at the embedded video. I can only imagine what bizarre creations will come of this once ... more
A terrible cardboard cutout of a Wii U GamePad currently has a bid of $91,300.00 on eBay. The fact someone put the unconvincing replica on eBay is funny enough, but the number of "accidental" bids coming in are icin... more
We get plenty of company based promotional games sent to us to which we almost always just send straight to the trash. Well Old Spice just sent us something, and it's thanks to their amazing ad campaign in the past that I ga... more
According to Ubisoft Montpellier, ZombiU's mysterious Prepper isn't the only one watching players as they pick their way through London's undead-infested streets. The developer is monitoring online survivors, and leaving hidd... more
NeoGAF member Trike managed to accidentally "hack" Miiverse yesterday while dicking around with his Wii U GamePad, stumbling onto a weird little debug menu and temporarily going drunk with power before losing his golden touch... more
[Update: Indie Games has more details on this bizarre social experience and notes how it shares a conceptual resemblance with Johann Sebastian Joust.] During my regular browse of NeoGAF to see if they'd said anything mean ab... more
At the end of the original Black Ops, you got a special bonus game of zombies where you could play as President Kennedy, President Nixon, and Fidel Castro. After the credits in Black Ops II, you get this. Obviously major spo... more
Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden always seemed to be an unlikely game, but it's real, it's playable, and I'm told it's quite humorous. Having already overcome that obstacle, I'm not surprised to find out that Tales of Game's ... more
I suppose this was inevitable. I mean, this is a game featuring an eighteen-year-old zombie hunting cheerleader we're talking about here. And nothing about Japan should surprise me anymore. But I'm still a bit stunned to anno... more
GoNintendo's RawmeatCowboy takes the crown for best Wii U unboxing video on the inter-tubes. Sorry Jim, but I've gotta be real. Let George Michael's silky pipes lead you down the road of forbidden ecstasy. The weirdest Wii U unboxing you'll see...ever [GoNintendo] more
Hey Master Chief, Halo 4 is great and all but you're acting like a dick here. Calm down dude, it's just a videogame. more
I actually prefer this Russian live-action advertisement for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (via All Games Beta) over the short we recently got to see. While it is clearly lacking in production values, the commercial mo... more
If you've ever played a Pokémon game, you'd realize that some of the critters possess rather unbelievable abilities beyond comprehension. I'm not talking about just the legendary Pokémon but also the run-of-the-... more
With a name like Dudebro -- My Shit Is F*cked Up So I Got To Shoot/Slice You II: It's Straight-Up Dawg Time, you know you're in for something special. This is the project from Grimoire Assembly Forge, a team made up of NeoGA... more
[Update: Okay, so this is actually Garry's Mod. Whoopsies!] There's been a lot of amazing videos that people have created with the Source Filmmaker. This creation by YouTuber GlinkoPlayman is perhaps one of the best ones. Toy Soldier [Reddit] more
On today's completely professional, mature, and otherwise not stupid or embarrassing Destructoid Show, we discuss some very serious topics. First, a season pass is announced for Assassin's Creed III, and the first DLC will b... more
Sometimes this job is boring, and sometimes YouPorn sends Destructoid a press release, excitedly telling us that its streaming sex video services is coming to Xbox Live. Of course, what it actually means is that, with Interne... more
I can't hear the word "Mobius" without thinking about Sonic SatAM and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Buried underneath those are memories from elementary school when we were introduced to the Mobius strip, a seemingly mag... more
This ranks as being one of the most awkward experiences I've had this week at Tokyo Game Show. Brain Kiss is a sort of "Love Meter" application, using a brain scanning apparatus to determine your emotional interest in anothe... more
While looking through the long list of Wii U launch titles, a few jumped out at me as completely stupid-sounding. Judging a book by a cover is one thing, but judging a game based on solely its name is a lot more difficult. So... more
Conan O'Brien's Clueless Gamer segments are some of my favorite pieces from his late night talk show. This time around, Capcom has graced him with an exclusive first look at the new demo for Resident Evil 6. I gotta say, not... more
Have you ever wished you could use your 3DS stylus to clean off all the gross filth from your body? Well now you can! The Germa Roller Touch Pen uses something called germanium, which has healing properties that supposedly ma... more
"That's Our Capcom! Coming soon to ABC Family!" Capcom is notorious for its printing errors and spelling gaffes. If it's not using watermarked images for its slip covers, it's failing to run a simple spell check on in-game di... more
Many of us can agree that Oregon Trail is pretty great, even if it isn't the most terribly exciting game all these years later. Even still, we have fond memories and independent developers have been able to capture that spiri... more
It all started with an eloquent email from Destructoid's director of communications, Hamza Aziz: "Shoot the SH*T out of wild animals on the 3DS." I almost felt too guilty to highlight Outdoors Unleashed: Africa 3D when there... more
Who says there's no justice in the world? Just yesterday, we learned that the highly demanded Zelda bible Hyrule Historia is being localized for the US, UK, Australia, and certain other parts of Europe. I originally used the ... more
The popular Adult Swim cartoon Metalocalypse will feature a crossover collaboration with Death from Darksiders II this coming Friday. Now that's totally #darksiders2. The spot will air during the Metalocalypse marathon this F... more
The last Nintendo Direct livestream was packed with big news, from the 3DS XL to the announcement that the next Smash Bros. will be co-developed by Namco Bandai. Hidden within the event was the unveiling of Gyroret... more

Mega Man air fresheners. Let me repeat myself: Mega Man air fresheners. Well, I think we've just about seen everything, right? This fall, fragrance licensee (seriously) Epic-Scents will release Mega Man and Proto Man Scent Bl... more
Don't deny it. You've impersonated Pokemon voices whenever you've watched the cartoons too. I'm not ashamed to admit it. In fact, I do a pretty great Charmander. Well YouTube user Brizzy takes things to a whole different level by impersonating the first 151 Pokemon pretty flawlessly. Check out her other videos on her channel while you're at it, as she does a ton of other great voice impressions. more
Don't run -- gallop! The maker of QWOP and GIRP has just released CLOP, a QWOP-like game featuring a four legged unicorn instead of a two legged Olympic athlete. I'm having a lot of fun with it; I rather like these games wher... more
