The leaked details surrounding Disney Infinity have more or less panned out as originally reported. First releasing this June for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS, Infinity can be summed up as an extensi... more

In the first level of DmC: Devil May Cry, Dante gets a little surprise while taking on the game's first boss. The video is below the fold as the thumbnail is a a bit spoilerish. [Thanks, Zak!] more
Though Street Fighter X Mega Man was a fairly decent romp, there were quite a few issues that held it back from being as good as it could be. The free "Version 2" update mentioned a couple weeks back will be ready for distrib... more
Teased last month by Gas Powered Games as "Project W," the studio's next game has now been unveiled as Wildman. This PC-only title will draw from the team's prior experience working on Dungeon Siege, Supreme Commander, and De... more
Muahahahahahahaha! more
DmC: Devil May Cry is an insult. It insults the fans, who have loyally supported Capcom through thick and thin, and it insults the legacy of a most respected action series. Ninja Theory has spat upon one of the last pure name... more

deviantARTist tarrer and MadeInHeaven1979 joined forces for some rad Dead Space 2 centric cosplay. tarrer brought Isaac Clarke to life with his stunningly detailed power suit, while MadeInHeaven took on the role of Ellie, eye... more
Critical Studio and Paradox Interactive are now accepting pre-orders for their cooperative hack'n'slash Dungeonland. Taking on hordes of monsters with a solid team should prove to be fun, but it's the role of the Dungeon Mae... more
Down as I was on Marvel Heroes based on my time spent with the closed beta, there's little doubt in my mind that the game will find its audience and do quite well for itself. In addition to narrowing down the release to sprin... more
When I played TERA at launch, it felt like it was designed for a free-to-play audience. There were so many "kill X of Y" quests that it made me a bit nauseous. Now that it will be free-to-play starting in February, ... more
The second downloadable content pack for Assassin's Creed III is now out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with the PC version set to arrive on January 15. The Battle Hardened Pack adds to the multiplayer, bringing three ne... more
The team behind God of War: Ascension has shared a behind the scenes videos showing how they started life on the multiplayer component to the game. The video spans over two years of the development process, and it's really c... more

Imagine for a moment that you have the power to make videogames. OK, I guess you don't have to imagine. With tools like Unity, Game Maker, and Flash on the market readily available to anyone who puts their mind towards snaggi... more
Capcom's treatment of the Mega Man franchise these past couple of years has been atrocious. When Street Fighter kicked off its 25th anniversary, Capcom clearly laid out its plans for the coming year, which included key softwa... more
All this Grand Theft Auto anniversary talk makes me feel old. It feels like just yesterday I was listening to Michael Jackson, swerving around as Tommy Vercetti, and taking in the sights of Rockstar's faux-Miami setting. I th... more
When death comes in Teleglitch, I can feel a part of myself being replaced with a weighted ton of soulcrushing loss and hopelessness. So goes the roguelike, a genre that has increasingly proliferated among bedroom developer... more
I'll admit, I've struggled to keep up with the Transformers brand since Generation One. I've played the High Moon Studios games, and loved them, but the TV shows have been something of a blur to me -- be it Armada, Animated, ... more
Zone of the Enders was a welcome departure from Hideo Kojima's legendary brainchild Metal Gear Solid back in 2001. While a stark contrast to tactical espionage action, Z.O.E. always weirdly felt like it could easily fit ... more
Adventure Time is currently my favorite show on television. It offers the same kind of nonchalant surrealism, iconic but expressive characters, and the simple delivery of complex themes that got me interested in videogames in... more
Warriors Orochi 3 was one of the best entries in Koei's long-running Warriors series, perhaps since Dynasty Warriors 3. Not only was it packed with content, the inclusion of Ryu Hayabusa, Joan of Arc, and other characters fro... more
Reviewing Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is difficult, because if I were to say it's bland, unfunny, and offensive, a large portion of the audience will fire back with, "Just like the show!" Meanwhile, another portion wil... more
There's nothing more upsetting than a game that believes, if it's wacky enough, it can get away with being crap. It's hard not to love a game that seeks refuge in audacity, as evidenced by the cult fanbase of such titles as D... more
For most of this generation, Nintendo existed as its own entity in the market. The Wii couldn't match the technical prowess of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, while third-party publishers famously struggled when attempting to... more
Epic Mickey is easily among the more tragic wastes of potential we've seen in the videogame industry. It first whipped fans into a frothy lather of excitement when concept images were shown, displaying a twisted and macabre t... more
Ninja Gaiden 3 was remarkable in its lack of remarkability. Team Ninja's ability to drop the ball with its franchise so spectacularly was damn near impressive, even if the result was a monotonous and exhausting slog thro... more
It’s been an exciting year for The Walking Dead. The comic series reached its 100th issue, the TV series has hit its stride in the current season, and Telltale Games’ adventure title has broken new ground for stor... more
In our prior coverage of Marvel Heroes, Steven set the stage for the free-to-play MMO. On paper, it all sounds rather good: an action-RPG starring iconic heroes and villains being worked on by Diablo creator David Brevik... more
One of my fonder PlayStation 1 memories was of raiding tombs on a demo disc with the dual-wielding, ponytail-clad, buxom Lara Croft and her '90s edge reminiscent of an Alanis Morissette song. I ran about with my ostensible In... more
If you followed Destructoid at all last month, you know that the site was pretty collectively excited about Borderlands 2. Of course, in the fast cars, loose joysticks world of videogames, a month ago is practically forever a... more
My first foray into the blood-soaked battlegrounds of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is not one that will be sung by bards, or even drunks staggering out of a tavern at three in the morning. The first commercial game from To... 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
I don’t know much about Fist of the North Star other than it’s very violent. I don’t know much about Dynasty Warriors other than there are a lot of dudes on screen to kill. That being said, Fist of the Nort... more
Let's be honest: The Silent Hill name was tarnished long ago. Somewhere between that awful Hollywood film and The Room, a game that was never supposed to and never should have been a Silent Hill entry. Things have gotten even... more
Earlier this week, I got to take a stroll through Gotham and Metropolis with DC Universe Online's creative director, Jens Andersen. Being shown off was the latest DLC, Hand of Fate, which introduces a whole bunch of new PvE a... more
Between the 5.5 and a 4.5 awarded to the first two entries in the series, Destructoid is perhaps somewhat known for not being keen on Assassin’s Creed. At least until Nick and Maurice both tried to ruin the Fonzie-cool ... more
[Destructoid is grabbing its rail gun and heading to Dallas, Texas this weekend for QuakeCon. Stay posted for game news, previews, and strange happenings from the infamous LAN room.] Russian text, a neon colored flickeri... more
The announcement of Mass Effect 3 being released on the Wii U was a pleasant surprise. As BioWare’s first entry into the Nintendo console, Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U takes advantage of the new hardware, while at the same time featuring the most recent Mass Effect 3 content. Specifically, the inclusion of the extended cut DLC, and much of the multiplayer updates and expansions. more
Just a month after releasing the Extended Cut to their controversial ending, BioWare returns to the Mass Effect 3 universe with their first original add-on to the single-player campaign, called Leviathan. Taking place duri... more
So, there certainly was a reaction to the newly announced Horn when Jim posted a little clip a few days ago in which the game was shown off and Phosphor Games’ Chip Sineni made some innocent claims about the mobile and ... more
You'll have to forgive the lateness of this preview. I was bed-ridden for damn near four days after E3 on account of nerd-flu. Still, if you'll stick around for a little bit, I'd like to tell you about one of my favorite game... more
Muramasa: The Demon Blade is still one of the best Wii games available, and it's coming to the PlayStation Vita in Japan on March 28th. This new trailer shows off the beautiful new visuals, and gives you a general outline of... more
Remember Remember Me? It's that game from Capcom everybody decided was crap already. Well, here's some new gameplay footage in a "late Christmas present" of a trailer. Looks pretty promising, in my humblest of opinions... more
Here's a new Dynasty Warriors 8 trailer, featuring our usual excited announcer and a pair of new characters for the Jin faction -- Zhang Chunhua and Jia Chong. As well as the video, a bunch of Jin screens show off the ... more
The Zodiac Tournament downloadable content for Sleeping Dogs sees protagonist Wei Shen fighting for survival on a secret island tournament against the world's greatest warriors.

The Zodiac Tournament add-on is now available for 400 MSP/$4.99 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. more
Visceral Games has today announced that Dead Space 3 will allow for Kinect voice commands, letting players scream things like, "Find partner," "Fire stasis," and "Attack enemy," in order to take down the Necromorph horde. "T... more
Here's a trailer for Dynasty Warriors 8, centered mostly around the new characters. Introduced in the video are Yue Jin, Li Dian, Lu Su, and Guan Yinping. Other new characters, not in the video, are Guan Xing and Zhang Bao.&... more
While I suspect many of you will have seen the announcement trailer for Dark Souls II by now, whether you were there to witness it live during the Spike VGAs or after the fact, I figured this would be worth posting for poste... more
Oh, hello there! Why not sit down and watch this trailer for Gears of War: Judgment, as seen during the Spike Videogame Commercials? It has guns in it, and some other things that aren't guns. Mostly guns, though. And shoutin... more
Lollipop Chainsaw Valentine Edition has been announced for Japan, slated to arrive on February 14, 2013. The special edition release will include a "perfect unlock code," as well as two DVDs, and computer stuff includi... more
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger is officially back! The mascot nobody wept for has returned from the dead in an all-new adventure ... for iOS, of course. Just like we all predicted. Ty the Tasmanian Tiger: Boomerang Blast is no... more
An open world full of wild jungle animals, with only your survival skills to keep you alive. That's Miasmata, one of the early games to be approved via Steam Greenlight. A new trailer has been released (spotted on PC Gamer),... more
When we last looked at State of Decay, our man Casey Baker was pretty excited. The idea of a persistent, zombie-afflicted, open world where choices matter and survivors have to literally survive? Well, sounds great in theory... more
Here's a new (rather short) video for Dead Space 3, showcasing the extra toys that buyers of the Limited Edition shall obtain. The Limited version comes with two in-game content bundles -- "Witness the Truth" and "Firs... more
Of Orcs and Men is out October 11, and Focus Interactive has released a nifty little launch trailer to celebrate. If you were unaware of this one, it's a story about an orc and a goblin as they fight their human oppressors. ... more
Now, when I say "love" here I don't mean romance scenes or anything like that (though all that incipient facial contact between Sasuke and Naruto could imply a lot), but Cyberconnect2's love for both Naruto and QTEs tha... more
