Reviews EXPAND STORY TEXTSSubscribe to this tag Review: Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles 16 When I first heard that Capcom's next Resident Evil game was going to be a sequel to the Wii-exclusive Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, I was pretty disappointed. Umbrella Chronicles actua... Review: Left 4 Dead 2 138 New friends, more zombies, better apocalypse. That's what Valve has promised, and that's what fans will come to expect when they finally pick up the sequel to one of the best zombie games ever m... Review: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex 34 I don't generally like wartime FPSes. In fact, I'd say that the "normal guy with guns shooting other normal guys with guns" genre is my least favorite in all of videogame-dom, starting with Golde... Review: Arkedo Series - 02 SWAP! 4 A few weeks ago, indie game developer Arkedo sent me an e-mail titled "An Easy Game from Arkedo to Dtoid, with Love": "Do you think it would be possible to have your mad skillz colleague try and ... Review: EyePet 57 Before the Wii, Sony brought casual motion-controlled gaming to the masses with EyeToy. Unfortunately, Sony never really capitalized on it and is only now scrabbling to make use of its camera per... Review: New Super Mario Bros. Wii 71 It's a-me! Mario! Nick said he's too lazy to write an intro! But he reviewed New Super Mario Bros. Wii and you can read that after the jump! There's also a neat-o video review, too! Woo hoo! Lov...

Destructoid review: Mahjongg Artifacts 2 (PSP minis) 8 It's mahjongg. I'm not going to tell you that this is some groundbreaking videogame. But I will say that I played the hell out of this title. It seemed to fill some gap in my PSPgo library that I... Review: Dragon Age: Origins 222 What do you do when you stop making games for one of the biggest roleplaying franchises of all time? If you're BioWare, the answer is easy -- make your own roleplaying franchise and start again f... Review: Lost Winds: The Winter of the Melodias 17 When I heard the news that a second Lost Winds game was coming out I knew I had to finally download the first game and become a big fan of it. So I did download it and I did become a big fan of i... Review: Osmos 16 Upon reading the title of this post, I assume you will have one of two reactions: 1. What the hell is Osmos what is this crap why are you wasting my 2. Didn't that game come out, like, almost thr... Review: Space Invaders Extreme 2 16 Space Invaders Extreme is regarded by many as among the greatest DS games of all time, and an essential component of any portable gaming repertoire. It was undoubtedly a brilliant game, and so a ... Review: Half-Minute Hero 41 Roleplaying games are dramatic, lengthy affairs in which most players could reasonably expect to lose up to eighty hours of their time. Half-Minute Hero exists to tell you just how much you're wa... Review: JU-ON: The Grudge 22 It's almost Halloween, and if you're anything like me, you're going to try to make the most of it. Playing survival horror games can be one way of doing that, but the way the genre has evolved (o... Destructoid review: Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble 18 You know how it goes. There's always that one badass at school that no one messes with. Everyone around knows that this particular badass has dignified himself by pulling enough sucker punches an... Review: Thexder Neo 25 Thexder began life life in 1985 on the NEC PC-8801. Although regarded as a classic, the SHMUP never became a massive franchise. It gained international success when converted for the MSX system, ... Review: Domino Rally 20 As far as I know, Domino Rally has not yet been released in stores. It's also not available on GameStop's site, or most other online retail outlets. The game came out over a month ago, but I thin... Review: Eufloria 26 Eufloria -- formerly known as Dyson -- has been on my radar for a while now. Firstly, one of its creators also made Cottage of Doom. This, in itself, is sufficient reason for excitement.Secondly,...

It includes everything from the original title, plus new games and new "fitness"-related things that I only sort-of care about. The game now tr... Review: Machinarium 64 Machinarium may be the best adventure game I've ever played. I don't know if I outright prefer it over the motion-controlled glory that is Zack and Wiki, or the wacky time-travel-laffs of Chariot... Review: Borderlands 102 Borderlands is almost here, and judging from the constant messages, insults, and death threats I've gotten in the last few weeks as I've been playing it on Steam, I would consider it eagerly anti... Peripherally Speaking: NERF N-Strike Switch Shot EX-3 18 I love NERF guns. In my household, NERF guns are kept within easy reach at all times because you never know when an all-out war is about to occur. This probably happens more frequently than it sh... Review: Squeeballs Party 10 You can never truly have enough party games on the Nintendo Wii, right? Well, actually ... you can. As someone who enjoys a good party-style game on occasion -- y'know, WarioWare, Boom Blox, or s... Destructoid review: Forza Motorsport 3 142 Racing games are not for everybody. Well, the old ones were, but time went by, we slowly got away from the simplicity of just getting over the finish line first. Now we're at a point where we're ...

With founder Tim Schafer behind the wheel, this heavy me...

Review: Critter Crunch (PSN) 32 Toronto-based developed Capybara games has been around for awhile, likely doing a bunch of stuff you might have overlooked. If you haven't heard of them, I wouldn't blame you. Maybe you've had a ... Review: PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe 13 Tower defense-style strategy games are nothing new, nor are variations on tried and true game formulas. But PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is a tower-defense style game that is a variation and improve... Review: Undead Knights 27 Just when I was getting thoroughly sick of zombie games, along comes Tecmo with another one. Only, this one turns the entire idea of zombie slaughter on its head and manages to do something surpr... Non-review: Why I couldn't finish Demon's Souls 118 We're not in the business of reviewing games we don't finish, so I'll say right away that I did not finish Demon's Souls, the latest action RPG for the PlayStation 3. Because of this, we will not... Review: The Warriors: Street Brawl 10 The Warriors is the sort of film which should lend itself almost perfectly to a gaming experience. Its simplistic plot centered around eight gang members trying to cross New York City with every ... Review: Dead Space Extraction 43 When it was first announced that the Wii would be getting its own Dead Space title, fans of the original game immediately cried foul. It was fair to assume that like the console's other big 360-t... Review: Gridrunner Revolution 11 Jeff Minter's Gridrunner Revolution is a good game, and I say that as someone who absolutely hated Space Giraffe. I have no time to play the coy, "these are the opening paragraphs so I don't... Review: Champions Online 29 Ah, the MMO. It's a tricky beast, alright. Making one seems to be such a delicate process. As developers and publishers try to replicate the immense success of World of Warcraft, we've seen few s...

The sexy unit landed in the Destructoid Baltimore offices this week, and I sp... Review: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 94 When people think of ridiculously difficult action games, they tend to gravitate instantly toward Ninja Gaiden. Personally, I feel Ninja Gaiden relies instead on being "annoying" rather...

What once was a rare and genuinely exciting occurrence (Zombies ... Review: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 66 Most RPGs these days are stale, boring and almost impossible to differentiate from one another. They all trot out the same turn-based combat, the same angst-ridden characters, and the same "... Review: Colin McRae DiRT 2 50 When Codemasters announced DiRT 2, I was very happy to see that it still had Colin McRae's name on it. I found the first game to be "okay," and after playing the demo for this second in... Review: Halo 3: ODST 125 The Halo series is one of gaming’s biggest franchises to date. From videogames, books, comics, toys, to clothes -- Halo was even almost turned into (and could very well still be) a Hollywoo...

Review: Scribblenauts 112 Scribblenauts has been one of the most eagerly anticipated DS games of the year, if not the biggest. Its concept was ambitious and its charm captivated all who saw it in the run up to the game's ... Review: Cursed Mountain 33 Survival horror is quickly running out of places to go. The genre feels as though it has matured to the point where not a lot of innovation is going on. At least, until we heard about Cursed Moun... Review: Zuma's Revenge 9 Sometimes I imagine the puzzle game masterminds at PopCap as mad scientists, all hunched over a table in a dark underground laboratory, doing something unworldly to their games to make them as ad...
