Here's today's Destructoid Show, in all it's fabulous, timely glory. For starters, there was that thing about how they added a gay planet in Star Wars: The Old Republic, which of course went over like a fart in Church. ... more
Every Tuesday a bunch of us Dtoiders get together and hop online to play some Team Fortress 2 on the official Destructoid server! You should join us! I swear, you get a hair cut and all of a sudden the internet... more
You know what's cool? Transformers. You know what's not cool? That the Autobot symbol looks a little, well, emo. Have you really looked at it before? The robot mascot is sporting a frown face and looks like it's on the verge ... more
My insatiable hunger for tracking and displaying the most revered games of the year will not end. I blame Metacritic. I also blame Metacritic for not doing a proper job in aggregating the best games of the year. While the sit... more
Last week, we asked you in the Destructoid community to pick your most anticipated games of 2013. After a week of intense vote-counting, we're ready to share the results! The voting was extremely close; so much so that the top three games were separated by only a few votes each. Keep reading to see how it all played out! more

Hey gang, welcome to the party. And by "party" I mean "Destructoid Show." I'm sincerely sorry for any confusion I might have caused by referring to it as a "party." Today, we talked about a Fallout-related Tweet. Then, the to... more
Action games can be a bit complicated, and by the time a lot of people pick up the game and play online, everyone else has mastered it (Metal Gear Online immediately comes to mind). Despite the fact that Anarchy Reigns doesn'... more

Last month, Alessandro Fillari brought you a preview of The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. I attended the event with Alessandro and we both thought there were some good ideas behind the project. A lot of work still needed t... more
Joe Danger was the definition of a perfect downloadable game. It was reasonable priced, it was tons of fun, and it was packed with content. Naturally, since a lot of other people felt the same, a Special Edition version of th... more

[Every month or so we post a new art assignment for the Dtoid community. Fun! Here's a recap of the latest. You have until Thursday, January 31st to finish your next project, which is detailed at the end of the... more
If tech reporters seem excited today about the prospect of Project Shield, a new handheld PC gaming console by Nvidia, it’s probably because they are at CES where there is little else to be excited about within the co... more

I finally took the plunge and bought a Wii U on New Year's Eve (thanks, birthday and Christmas money!), but due to sick kids and work and such, I literally haven't even had a chance to play it yet. (Installed the update, thou... more
The staff of Destructoid are a bunch of chiseled yet humble geniuses that make the world better every day through our humanitarian efforts via gaming news and features. The only flaw that can possibly be said about us that we... more
[Thanks to SirTobbii for the image!] It's a brand new year, and Podtoid is back with a brand new world of delights! We kick off with Jonathan's newest persona, Freaky Constantina, we learn how to properly get crackheads to cl... more
When just about every major publisher rolled out a game featuring bows at E3 earlier this year, the fad didn't go unnoticed. Many were quick to comment on how in vogue arrow-slinging weaponry has become and for good reason. T... more
There was an episode of Talking to Women about Videogames a while back that got screwed up when it started to rain, requiring that we abruptly end the episode without a proper resolution. That's why Art Hawk (also known... more

It's the last Podtoid of the year, and that means the gang has cracked open the booze to record a drunken episode. For some reason, Anal Siege was a popular episode last year, so this year we present the chungus-flavored sequ... more
Today is Christmas Day, the day we celebrate America's favorite lover, Cool Christmas, bedding beautiful women around the nation and refusing to pay child support. Cool Christmas says condoms are a scam. Just listen to him. H... 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
This year was great in general for videogames. Beyond the predictable success of games like Halo 4 and Call of Duty: Black Ops II, there were a ton of hits that came out of nowhere, including not just big publisher titles, bu... more
Last week on The Destructoid Show, we asked you guys to draw some gross pictures of me and Tara as Street Fighter and Tekken characters, and we picked our five favorites to win Vita copies of Street Fighter X Tekken. The winners are: Miguel Angel Sosa Barajas, Shane Vacca, Jim Secula, Martenas Godfrey, and Tim. Check out the gallery for unsettling pictures of our weird faces! more
My favorite scene in any holiday movie has always been "the spirit of Christmas" scene from A Charlie Brown Christmas, when Charlie's friends all flail their arms around his tree to make it look a bit less derpy. As a child, ... more
When a stack of releases lands on our desks every week, they can't all be winners, but that doesn't mean the rest have to be losers, either. Prowl your local bargain bin, make some eBay searches, and keep your eyes out for a ... more

Another year, another round of videogame controversies! 2012 was perhaps one of the biggest years ever for scandal and strife, filled with sexism, lies, and ... Doritos? We've compiled the most outrageous outrages of th... more

Hey guys, in spite of this being the second-to-last Destructoid Show of 2012, there's still news. And it's all crappy news. Gross! Okay, so there was this big crapstorm over The War Z, and as a result, it's no longer ava... more
Even as retail stores die a slow death and digital sales take their place, box covers matter. Look no further than the controversy around BioShock Infinite's decidedly safe (and dull) cover for an impassioned example. A good ... more
If you're already familiar with the Wii U and what it can do, then the current crop of commercials for the console act as nice reminder that the thing is currently in stores. If you don't already know about the Wii U, these ... more
