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
This has been a long time in the coming. The marvelous localization masters at XSEED have seen fit to bring Pandora's Tower to North America this Spring. While that's awfully vague, a GameStop listing has a mor... more

Well, not yet. But if Sony has its way, the controller for the PS4 -- I'm sorry, "Orbis" -- will be something completely different. Last time Sony tried that, fearful gamers threw a hissy fit, unwilling to break out of their ... more
Back in October, PlayStation Network got a neat-looking arcade-style game called Derrick the Deathfin that seemed to go under a lot of radars. I was hoping to see it release and do really well on Steam, but that hasn't happen... more
Hey gang, The Destructoid Show wasn't live today, because our producer Zac has his fingers cut off for failing at his Yakuza duties. Er. He cut his hand by accident. Something, I forget. Today, we discuss the possibili... more
