Legends of Pegasus already sounds like one of those games you play all throughout the night in one massive marathon session while neglecting to eat entire meals along the way. It's a 4X (explore, expand, exploit, and extermin...

Here's a cute trailer for the coming conclusion of the epic LEGO Harry Potter saga, LEGO Harry Potter: Years-5-7. Voldemort is working on being creepy but we all know what he really just wants in life (unlife? re-life?) is to be loved. Perhaps this little boost to his self-image will do the trick.

Last week during E3, I met up with 3000AD's president and lead developer, Derek Smart, where he showed me a significant amount of his team's upcoming free-to-play shooter Line of Defense. In all honesty, I was not familiar wi...

"Riders of Rohan" will be the fourth major expansion for free-to-play MMO, Lord of the Rings Online. At over twice the size of "Mines of Moria," this expansion is the largest yet, covering six different regions from the Fang...

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light was one of my favorite games of 2010. It came out of nowhere, and at first I was completely skeptical of the oddly isometric Tomb Raider game. After actually giving it a shot, I walked awa...

[This weekend Destructoid is reporting live from RTX in Austin, Texas, the community based gaming expo for Rooster Teeth fans and everyone else.] At a glance onlookers might characterize Loadout as yet another emulo...

Limbo made its debut on Xbox Live, but Sony could have been first to get its hands on the beautiful sidescroller if only it'd kept its dick in its pants. Instead, the publisher tried to go the whole way and own the game, its ...

Later this Spring, TT Games and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will be putting out a Wii U version of last year's LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, which was something of a departure from the franchise with its full voi...

I make no secret of my love for the guys at Vlambeer. Their approach to design, making games that are instantly understandable yet endlessly challenging, hits at the very core of what I think makes for timeless entertainment....

Simon Pegg's love of zombies and indeed Left 4 Dead 2 is well documented, but it could be that his blessing will breathe new life into a stagnant mod. Left 4 Winchester was a mod started in 2009 based on the comedy zombie hit...

GOG.com has just released a compilation pack for Leisure Suit Larry for $9.99 -- it comes with Larry 1-6 and Softporn Adventure. This is a compilation that originally came out in 1996 (RIP Sierra), b...

L.A. Noire used a very advance motion capture setup for the detective drama that was able to capture anything the face did. Best of all, it would capture when the actors would screw up their lines too. Nothing creepier than a computer graphic tongue getting flicked out of someone's mouth. Gross.

Limbo of the Lost is the stuff nightmares are made of (see above) and the stuff of lawsuits, as well. It's a perfect storm of all things terrible that makes a game in the adventure genre -- a genre that even at its worst can ...

The tough-as-nails La-Mulana remake is now available on Steam for $14.99 if you dare to venture into the deepest, darkest depths of your gaming talent. As one of the best remakes and games I've ever played, I strongly recomme...

After recently releasing on iPhone, Tomorrow Corporation's game about burning (and so much more), Little Inferno, is now available for Mac. Better yet, those who own the Windows version won't have to pay another cent for the ...

We knew Lost Planet 3 would have multiplayer, but we've not heard anything about it until now.  Capcom says that the game will feature four modes across six maps. You'll play as either the NEVEC or the Snow Pirates in m...

I'll admit, I had expected that the novelty would have worn off from the last smooth jazz trailer for the naval warfare strategy game Leviathan: Warships. Still, I started watching the above video and halfway through was chu...

During my competitive years, I wouldn't settle for anything less than ranked Summoner's Rift, 5v5 (Dota). But as I started to fill my schedule with other games and responsibilities, I needed another mode that I could dedica...
