If there's anything more metal than breaking multiple copyright laws at the same time, I've yet to see it in my lifetime. The folks over at the Scorehero forums are at it again, hacking their way through Guitar Hero I...

[This month Destructoid celebrates 7 friggin' years of whatever it is we do! Here's the most popular article of this weekend, back in 2007, and easily one of my favorite story headlines of all time. Check our Golden Archi...

In November of 2005, the Xbox 360 launched with a number of retail-based games. While the launch games were (arguably) solid, not all will be remembered as classics. But Bizarre Creation's Xbox Live Arcade title, Geometry War...

One of the things we were really excited about when we originally reported on Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 was the fact that the game appeared to have four-player cooperative play. Recently, Xbox360Fanboy got word from Micr...

Just like with 2D fighting games, there are basically two types of shmup fans: those who love them primarily for the fun of developing the skills required to play them with any modicum of success, and those that are still att...

"I don't know anything about it," said of God of War III producer Stig Asmussen of a God of War I/II Blu-ray collection, "so I don't think it's likely it's gonna happen." That was at E3 earlier this year. Months later, Sony a...

Reader Raffi sent us this video he shot from a holiday party where a developer for Natal was playing Geometry Wars with just hand gestures. We can't say for sure if this is really a Natal powered game of Geometry Wars until ...

Kratos has successfully killed the God of War, Ares. He has challenged Zeus, the King of the Gods, and lived. What's next? Well, take down all of Olympus, of course. In the latest and final installment of the God of War...

After a number of misses from its competition, last year Harmonix and MTV Games proved that it was possible to do a band-specific music game "right." The Beatles: Rock Band was an incredible journey through the band's career,...

Given Activision's love of releasing ten billion Guitar Hero games a month, it's somewhat surprising that the evil publisher has taken so long to wrap its tendrils around iTunes. Titles like Tap Tap Revenge have already demon...

Japan can be a real ball hog sometimes. A bazillion awesome-looking games come out each year, yet only a handful get localized. Don't even get me started on the surplus of legacy software that appears on their download servic...

Less than two weeks ago, I reviewed G.G Series Ninja Karakuri Den, a two-dollar microgame that is part of a Japanese series of budget downloadables. It was a decent game that could have used a little more zest, which is why ...

Regular Nick: "Hey, The Dillinger Escape Plan made it into Guitar Hero! That's awesome. And, nice... you can play through Rush's 2112, and it's narrated by bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee himself. Man, this is going to rock." Warrior Nick: "Sweet holy hell, why did I just turn into a f**ing rock n' roll chupacabra?"

Yes, I know, this review is ridiculously late. But ... for fans of the first two Golden Sun games on the Game Boy Advance that have been looking forward to this anticipated, yet quietly-released Nintendo DS sequel, this revie...

Murder mysterious are a dime a dozen, but it’s not every day the gumshoe is investigating his own death from beyond the grave. Then again, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective -- the latest game by Ace Attorney creator Shu...

Oh, snap. Seriously? A little over a year ago, I played through an import copy of Giana Sisters DS and posted my impressions as part of my Off-Brand Games series. I had assumed that the likelihood of the game releasing States...

Hey dudes, whacky awesome exciting news today. First, hacker group LulzSec gave one last hurrah before saying the voyage of their LulzBoat had come to an end. Or something, I don't even know. Second, the United States Suprem...

Space bees are the worst. They think they're so cool, but they're really not. Fortunately, games like Galaga exist to take them down a peg or two, and Galaga Legions DX exists to take them down in the coolest way possible.  Stupid space bees.

If you saw my hands-on preview of upcoming PS Vita title Gravity from E3 you'd know that the title is still early. Sony Studios Japan is supposed to have this game ready for the system launch, but right now they don't have th...

Gravity Guy is one of my favorite iOS games on the market, so there's no contest for today's freebie. The gravity-shifting runner game costs nothing right now, and it's easily one of the best Apps that FAotD has ever featured...

Videogames provide the perfect tools for pure escapism or utter powerlessness. As a fully interactive media, the player can be as involved as the developer in the fate of our characters, or we can be utterly impotent in swayi...

I have to admit that I love me a good tank battle. Shredding treads and busting out armor-piercing rounds on some underarmored fools is my idea of a good time. In fact, that I don't care if there's no context. Just gimme a ta...

There are few things in this world that allow people worldwide to connect at a human level, and learn from each other's cultures, more than entertainment. Cinema can show us humanity wherever it is filmed, and games can teach...

In some circles, the Green Lantern movie and games have been a major success. So much so that the folks at WB have decided to give fans a chance to peek behind the curtain at the making of Rise of the Manhunters. They're definitely right about one thing, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan, specifically) is a fantastic super hero. The jury may be out on the movie and games, but he's a damn good character.

A listing on Amazon.de for God of War Master Collection has been making the rounds. It pins the three console-based titles -- in addition to Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta -- as making it into one retail package for Pl...

If there's one thing a bunch of hormone-addled, masculinity-obsessed, spiteful Xbox Live players want to do, it's sit around a table playing board games. Esdevium Games has tapped into this cultural demand with Gears of ...

Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising, an MMO by developer Heatwave Interactive, has been out for a little while. If you have been curious about the game, but reluctant to throw down money on an unknown title, the developers are now o...

I think I can hear my soul weeping. 

With everything going on during this year's E3, you may have missed some big news. Grease for the Kinect and PlayStation Move is out this week in the US, and will be out November 4th in Europe. This isn't just another singing...

Groove Coaster is awesome. It's easily one of my favorite iOS titles, and I think that every rhythm game fan should check it out. It's kind of like Rez in the visual department, but the music gaming is much simpler, as it has...

Do you hate the new Xbox 360 dash? I don't, but the ads kind of suck. Know that you can opt out of them. Serious bitching has taken place since the update, but I won't join in, as the 'play disc' and game list options are ea...

Here is a trailer for Ghost Camera, a new horror game for the 3DS. It's being made by the same team responsible for Fatal Frame and published by Tecmo Koei.  The name gives you a big enough clue as to what this game ent...
