The Daily Hotness: I wish I could listen to this

Once again, Jayson brought us a Noteworthy today, this time featuring nothing but Final Fantasy music. Of particular interest to me are the chiptune arrangements from Final Fantasy VII, so you can imagine my chagrin finding o...   more

The Daily Hotness: Bounce music off walls to level it up

That's the secret subtitle of Make Music, Throw Music: A Yoshi's Island Tribute, as far as I'm concerned. Why nobody thought to take Yoshi's Island's sounds and compose original music with them before is beyond me. This shou...   more

The Daily Hotness: Forward Unto Dawn

Although I'm not nearly as into Halo as a videogame series now as I was ten years ago, Forward Unto Dawn reminds me that the franchise has really rich fiction associated with it. The folks at Machinima have done a great job ...   more

The Daily Hotness: Come play Werewolf with us

About a year ago, we started playing Werewolf on the Destructoid forums. We're gearing up for our anniversary game, and we'd love some fresh meat to brutally rend and devour, via asynchronous text-based gameplay. You should j...   more

The Daily Hotness: Thomas was dubstep

In response to a joke that Thomas Was Alone would sell better in North America with a dubstep trailer, our own Conrad Zimmerman put the above video together. The sad thing is that watching this video reminded me that I've be...   more

The Daily Hotness: I am the two percent

Microsoft had teased it awhile ago, but today they officially announced rewards for players with high Gamerscores. The more cynical among us will scoff that the reward results in Microsoft getting more money, but I side with ...   more

The Daily Hotness: Layton, Wright, and Cooper

Tons of news and coverage has come out of our handsome and hard-working team at Tokyo Game Show today, but for me, the spotlight has been on the new Professor Layton game, the new Ace Attorney game, the new Professor Layton/A...   more

The Daily Hotness: One more time

Does anybody out there remember Friday Robot Intermissions? Well for one day only (or until I find another robot video), I'm bringing them back. One of the actors from Beat Down Boogie, the creators of the web series Modern ...   more

The Daily Hotness: Can't beat free

Super Crate Box showed up on Steam for free today. I first saw it at PAX East 2012 with a challenge to get a hundred boxes. It looked easy. My best score was eight. Jim highlighted some of the best and the brightest of the In...   more

The Daily Hotness: PAX begins

PAX Prime 2012 officially started today, and pictures of staff and community members have already begun to surface. Those of us who are not in Seattle right now are all incredibly jealous. Fraser reviewed an episode of The Wa...   more

The Daily Hotness: Joe Danger's swan song

I will admit, I haven't played as much Joe Danger as I'd like. It's sitting there on my PS3 hard drive, waiting for when I figure out how to stop time and play all of the games in my backlog. Still, with what little I ha...   more

The Daily Hotness: gamescom is almost over

It has been quite a week full of news, trailers, and previews out of gamescom. After reading Hamza's preview, I'm stoked for Rayman Legends as a reason to buy a WiiU past the fact that I need a new machine to play my Wii...   more

gamescom day three: More videos from gamescom

Sometimes I wish I had gotten into voice acting and motion capture.  I mainly just want to wear one of those awesome suits with the ping pong balls all over them.  Above is a full scene from The Last of Us as recor...   more

gamescom day two: Read all the previews!

Dale and Hamza have been hard at work over in Germany, playing games and then writing about them like some sort of game-playing-then-writing-about automata. Check out some of these previews, would you? Personally, I'm most in...   more

gamescom day one: Billions and billions of videos

Okay, so there aren't that many videos to have come out of gamescom today. Maybe only millions. Okay, maybe only twelve. If I had to recommend a couple of the videos, I'd suggest you take a gander at Remember Me&nb...;   more

The Daily Hotness: XCOM is getting close

As one who regularly talks to Sean Carey, I feel obligated to qualify that headline with "the proper one." I've personally never played an X-Com game before, but after hearing the fervor of old fans, I'm getting excited for i...   more
