Game SERIES Debate to the Death! Super Mario series

Talk about a nostalgia-fest! Last week had more lengthy bonus question comments than ever before, and I'm pretty sure I read every single one of them. There was so much insight that I even pulled...
Monday Mind Teasers: Colour My Heart & Colour My Dreams

Last week proved that great music in a game can make all the difference, and easily turn a decent game into something much more impacting and memorable. This week we visit the Colour series once ...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death! The Legend of Zelda

Good gaming gods, last week's debate was epic, and I do not use that word lightly. I had to go through all 235 comments twice, just to make sure no tallying mistakes were made. The outcome broke ...
Monday Mind Teasers: Colour My World

This week's mind teaser uses even less color than last week's fun hacking simulator game. Colour My World was rated as one of the top five Newgrounds games of October, and when you beat it in jus...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death! MGS VS Half-Life

Last week's bonus questions brought in even more discussion than the week before, and when you outdo a Zelda and Final Fantasy debate, that's saying something. And boy did you guys and gamer girl...
Monday Mind Teasers: Exploit

Last week's outdoors creature killer tactics game was inspired by a recent camping trip, whereas this week's hacking mind teaser is inspired by the start of dropping temperatures and my winter re...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death! Halo VS Half-Life

Last week I introduced a new format for these weekly game debates, and it went great! I used two of the most loved series in the game industry of all time, and the result was just as vicious...
Monday Mind Teasers: Bloody Fun Day

Did everyone escape the clutches of last week's locked room game? Great! This week we face a whole different type of mind teaser game, with both turn-based and path-based strategies to consider a...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death: Zelda VS Final Fantasy

Last week's debate turned out pretty close considering each series has opposing goals, but there was plenty of Dtoid Army support on both sides. Here's are the racing results:Twisted Metal s...
Monday Mind Teasers: Sagrario’s Room Escape

Calling all claustrophobics! Step right up, and don't bother closing the door behind you because it's already closed. And locked. And, oh, look at that. The handle is missing. I hate it when that...
Monday Mind Teasers: Tank Search

With a name like Tank Search, you might expect another violent game like last week's KOI2, but instead we'll just be looking for tanks -- not using them. Paperbat's game is very simple and very a...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death! T. Metal VS G. Turismo

Last week's debate will hopefully be a wake up call to those responsible for the Mortal Kombat series' future. The numbers from our microcosm debate poll may show that a small group of people are...
Monday Mind Teasers: KOI2

Last week was full of violence as Karoshi (Japanese for "death by overwork") brought us countless levels involving suicide strategies. If you thought that was the peak of Japanese odd v...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death! SF VS MK

I guess last week's debate was a Super Smash Bros. battle on stock mode set for 82 lives each -- truly a debate to the death. The result was not pretty, and reminiscent to those times when you we...
Monday (mutilation) Mind Teasers: Karoshi series

Last week we played through a game where your future self torments you. This week we just plain old fashion torment ourselves. "Karoshi" is a Japanese word for "death by overwork&q...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death!Smash Bros VS Mario Party

Last week's debate made me pretty nervous. On paper, comparing a cartoony and speedy shooter to a realistic and slow stealth shooting game made perfect sense. But this was Metal Gear -- could any...
Monday Mind Teasers: Time Fcuk

So how did last week's browser Diablo 2 clone game go? Did you point and click to your heart's content? Good. Because now I've got much more of a "mind teaser" game for you, and it come...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death! Metal Gear VS Metal Slug

Last week we stepped on another sports course to watch another industry rivalry. With a long line of games on other consoles in both series' pasts, it was tied for the first half of the votes. Ho...
Monday Mind Teasers: Merlin's Revenge 2

Are you done walking in circles from last week? This week we have a spectacular game that shouldn't be too hard to convince you to play. First question: did you love Diablo 2? Thought so. Last qu...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death!Mario Golf VS Tiger Woods

Time to tee off and debate until you're tee'd off! From turf to rough we move on from last week's debate to another sports series Dtoid discussion. Debate dare: read the rest of this in your...
Monday Mind Teasers: Walking In Circles

On our previous flash adventure we ran into yet another locked room and most of us promptly conquered the “escape the room” in record time. However, this time around the block won't b...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death! Madden VS Blitz

The debate destruction trail continues hot off the heels of Guitar Hero's corpse from last week. Another week, another homicide. This one wasn't as horrible to witness, but it still made you want...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death: Mario Kart VS Gran Turismo

Last week I think we killed a game series. No one checked to see if it was breathing, we just all ran in fear and guilt. Could we have done anything to save the series? We might have to make a pa...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death: Guitar Hero VS Rock Band

Last week we all went down guns ablazin' as everyone duked it out over what the better FPS gun was. One side was armed with a gravity gun, and man did they do a lot of damage. Unfortunately, the ...
Monday Mind Teasers: Swan's Room

Last week had not one, but twelve puzzles for you to peruse over in the past week, and I encourage you to go back and give them each a try if you haven't yet. However, if you're all caught up and...
Game Debate to the Death! Gravity gun VS Portal gun

Last week was a fighting genre fight to the death. The clash of old versus new brought out all sorts of supporters and critics. The thought process of many of the comments was logical, balanced, ...
Monday Mind Teasers: GROW Games

Anyone beat last week's mind teaser yet? Didn't think so. Okay, no more games until we get past that hellacious hurdle -- see you next week!Okay, okay, okay. I'm not that cruel. But I am cruel en...
Game Debate to the Death! Street Fighter IV VS BlazBlue

Last week we used more Dtoider input and took inFamous through another round of debate. Did it meet its death? Or did it persevere once again? The leader of the votes swayed several times -- just...
Monday Mind Teasers: Not Pr0n

Last week's trip down mind teaser memory lane brought us back to the clicking nightmare known as Crimson Room. Now that some of us have escaped once again with our sanities intact, we run in fear...
Monday Mind Teasers: Crimson Room

"Ahhhh!" "The horror!" "Minimize in fear!" These screams might well describe your reaction to this game back in 2004 when it first hit the Internet. And boy did it h...
Game Debate to the Death! Red Faction: Guerrilla VS inFamous

After much discussion and deliberation, the previous debate has finally come to an end. I expected an onslaught of opinions from both sides, and I definitely wasn't disappointed, but towards the ...
Monday Mind Teasers: Samorost 1 & Samorost 2

After last week's little game Little Wheel, I decided to make this week dedicated to the game that heavily influenced it and countless of other online flash games back in the day. Is Samorost old...
Monday Mind Teasers: Little Wheel

Hey guys and gamer girls, I hope your minds are extra alert tonight since I'm introducing a new direction for this weekly feature. This mind teaser column was the first reoccurring arti...
Monday Mind Teasers: "I have GOT to get me one of these!"

You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. T...
Game Debate to the Death! Prototype VS inFamous

Last week's debate was the last odd game debate in our almost year long journey! It also ended with one of the best "odd debate" matchups of the entire series, with a legendary multipla...

You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. T...
Game Debate to the Death! Counter-Strike VS Portal

Last week's debate could have gone so much worse, and I'm thoroughly pleased that it went as well as it did. I went into the PC odd game debates nervous about what games I could possibly pair up ...
Monday Mind Teasers: I ain't afraid of no teasers!

You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. T...
Game Debate to the Death! Portal VS The Longest Journey

Last week's debate started off the final odd debate brackets with the first of three PC rounds for the Dtoid Army to vote on. I don't think I could have picked a better rivalry to kick things off...
Game Debate to the Death!Counter-Strike VS World of Warcraft

Last week's debate brought us to the end of the PSP odd game debate brackets with two very deserving games in the finals. The votes were a dead tie half way into the tallying, but in the end one ...
Game Debate to the Death! Crisis Core: FFVII VS Patapon

Last week's debate put two distinctly different games against one another, and I have to admit I'm surprised by the outcome. I knew it would be close, but I thought the cult classic PSP game was ...
Monday Mind Teasers: Mind Teasers to my ears

You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. T...
Game Debate to the Death!Monster Hunter Freedom 2 VS Patapon

Last week's debate was the first round of the PSP odd debate brackets and it was a hell of a fight. For the first many votes, things were completely tied up. Then, as expected, LocoRoco took the ...
Game Debate to the Death! LocoRoco VS Crisis Core: FFVII

The last debate was the DS odd debate finals bracket between two games that had no problem making their way to the third round riding the hands of fan support. Despite a strong start by both side...
Monday Mind Teasers: Saints Row

You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. T...
Game Debate to the Death! Phoenix Wright VS Henry Hatsworth

Last week was another battle between a recent-ish DS game versus an older DS game, and this time the support was for the other side of the fence. Here are the results:Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzl...
Game Debate to the Death! Puzzle Quest VS Henry Hatsworth

Last week was one of the closest debates we've ever had. For the first fifty to sixty comments there was a steady tie as both games refused to back down. Eventually one game's momentum broug...
Game Debate to the Death! Phoenix Wright VS Professor Layton

Last week was the conclusion of the PS3 odd debate brackets, and we certainly finished with an incredibly crazy comparison and contrast competition. With two games that are nothing alike, ev...
Game Debate to the Death! M.G.S. 4 VS LittleBigPlanet

Last week was a big win for a Little game. Despite a few gripes with the winner, here are the overwhelming results:LittleBigPlanet (58 votes) -- Winner! Resistance 2 (9 votes)This week ...

Game Debate to the Death! LittleBigPlanet VS Resistance 2

Game Debate to the Death! No More Heroes VS Super Mario Galaxy

Game Debate to the Death! Zelda: Twilight Princess VS Super Mario Galaxy

Yes, I know, my headline butchered Twilight Princess's actual game name quite a bit, but there literally wasn't enough room for its formal name to fit. Besides, neither of these two game series n...
