Remember when Capcom released Street Fighter X Mega Man without a number of core features -- like, oh I don't know, a password or a save system?Well, they had a change of heart, and now you can reap the benefits of fan demand... more
Developed by Ostrich Banditos and published on Adult Swim's website, the cleverly titled Westerado has you running around the Wild West to perform odd jobs and, eventually, find out enough information to track down the scumba... more
When thinking of what-if scenarios that you wouldn't want to happen while running a Kickstarter campaign, I feel like "layoffs" would be up there pretty high. Days after seeking crowdfunding support for its action-RPG/RTS Wil... more
An hour after taking the stage to unveil Disney Infinity, "Disney's most ambitious video game initiative ever" (a press release states), I sat down with Avalanche Studios chief creative officer John Blackburn to discuss where... more
Much of the promotional work on God of War: Ascension has been centered around the game's new multiplayer mode. Which is fine, but I think most long-time fans will be buying this prequel for its single-player campaign, leavin... more
For weeks now, Ubisoft has remained tight-lipped in regards to Assassin's Creed III DLC on the Wii U. We knew it was confirmed, but we had no dates or confirmation of which pieces would be coming. As of now, the Hidden Secret... more
Letting you know that this new Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance trailer is amazing, and then warning you that it may contain boss fight spoilers is pretty devious, right? Well, I'm just telling the truth here! The fights in th... more
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus is on the way, and to celebrate, Tecmo Koei has a new gameplay trailer ready for eye consumption. Of course, that stupid armadillo boss is back, and I can hear the sounds of my controller hitting th... more
After I beat DmC: Devil May Cry the other day, I unlocked the white-haired Dante costume. Essentially, it's the new Dante in his same "new" style, with his old hair color. It was small concession for fans who really cared wha... more
Yesterday Famitsu brought us new info and screens on developer Grasshopper Manufacture's next big game, Killer is Dead. Was that not enough to satisfy you? Well how about the debut trailer for the game then?! Yup. Sure looks... more
The PlayStation Portable just won't go away. Aksys Games has announced that Hakuoki: Warriors of the Shinsengumi is coming to North America on February 19, 2013. Unlike previous entries in the series, this is a hack... more
After seven years of working on Diablo III, game director Jay Wilson has announced his decision to work elsewhere within Blizzard. In a forum post, he writes that "I've reached a point creatively where I'm looking forward to ... more
What is the world coming to when Destructoid community members start making their own videogames? The endtimes are near! Repent! Repent! The disarmingly charming and fetchingly fetching Ben "AgentMOO" Shostak already has a g... more
[Read on for a description of every Devil May Cry game ever released in the US, and my completion of them all in 2013.]2013 is going to be an exciting year. Now that I know you guys enjoy reading my Quests, I'm going to make ... more
While I think the image above (via Famitsu) does an excellent job of communicating what the new project from Grasshopper Manufacture and Kadokawa Games is all about, we thankfully have a bit more to go on than that for Killer... more
If you could somehow combine the addictiveness of micro-transactions with the uncertainty of card packs, you'd probably make a lot of money. Disney is going to make a lot of money. Just a hunch. In June, Disney Infinity, Aval... 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
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
There's not a lot I remember about the rampant imagination of childhood, but most of the good memories came from the depths of my toy chest. Pitting Aliens against Transformers. Imagining Cloud Strife's sword slicing throu... 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
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus is on the way, and to celebrate, Tecmo Koei has a new gameplay trailer ready for eye consumption. Of course, that stupid armadillo boss is back, and I can hear the sounds of my controller hitting th... 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
PlayStation Plus members are getting both Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10 for free this week. Yes, both games! The God of War: Ascension multiplayer beta has also opened up to all Plus members as of today. Additionally, the "Rece... 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. Expect to learn new fighting moves, take on deadly challenges, and probably see way too many Bruce Lee references . 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
