There's nothing quite like the sensation of causing almost cartoonish levels of destruction to other vehicles in a city devoid of pedestrians, especially when you can take those vehicular shenanigans on th...

The classic 1982 food puzzle arcade game returns, now in all-new 3D, and now with a cameo from our own Mr. Destructoid! BurgerTime World Tour takes you around the world as chef Pepper, who is still working to make massi...

Despite plenty of hype, solid reviews, and a premise that seemed almost cynically geared toward the modern American gamer, Bulletstorm didn't do as well as Electronic Arts hoped. People Can Fly's violent shooter didn't set th...

Depending on how well Brütal Legend does on PC, we may be able to take part in some new adventures in the world of metal. Schafer explains what he would change, speaking to Rock, Paper Shotgun: "I mean, we have a wishlis...

A week ago, the Humble Double Fine Bundle was announced. For some, it was easy to resist; though the games on the list range from decent to great, fans of the studio already owned most, if not all of the titles. Of course th...

There seemed to be cause for concern over Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 due to trademarks, but that ended up having to do with Ubisoft and Gearbox Software filing jointly, an issue which is now being addressed. There's still th...

I caught wind of Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons by way of a short teaser trailer a while back (you can find it after the jump) and was digging the art style, but put it out of mind. As its spring release approaches, however, ...

Despite mixed reviews, documented lag issues, and a heap of criticism from players, Splash Damage's Brink is estimated to have sold around 2.5 million copies. According to CEO Paul Wedgewood, the Bethesda-published multi...

Never give up hope! Pixelitis spotted a ray of hope on the Capcom-Unity forums for a domestic release of the PSP port of RPG Breath of Fire III, which was released in Japan in 2005, and later in Europe. Never here, though.&nb...

I'll say this about Spiders, the studio behind titles like Mars: War Logs and Of Orcs and Men -- its projects sure do a good job of grabbing your attention early on, even if the end result doesn't tend to match lofty ambition...

It's been a hell of ride, with a fair share of high and low points, but the Borderlands 2 season of content is finally at an end. As the last campaign downloadable content for Borderlands 2, there's a considerable amount of p...

It’s a good thing that Borderlands 2 doesn’t often touch on real-world culture over the course of its kitschy, ostentatious sci-fi romp -- the times where it does have tended to be low points. I was disappointed t...

The best downloadable content, in my experience, serves as a low-risk workshop to spitball and prototype new ideas. Sometimes those ideas pop up later in, say, sequels: it’s impossible to get from Dragon Age: Origins to...

Borderlands 2's first DLC, Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty, extends the original game's love for having as many Easter eggs as possible. The latest (I'd argue greatest), discovery is that there is a Big Daddy na...

Like every meeting of the nerd minds, you can expect a healthy amount of awesome cosplay, and the London Comic Con is no exception. Not satisfied with a mere gallery, the folks behind the YouTube channel sneakyzebra made two...

Gearbox Software is looking for fan feedback when it comes to Borderlands 2, as we heard earlier today. Going a step further, the company is experimenting with a limited-time stat-tracking service called BTest. The Steam vers...

Bonk: Brink of Extinction was one the more prominent titles to get the big boot once Hudson Entertainment closed. Sure, our impression from last year's E3 was rather lukewarm, but it was still a revival of a beloved property ...

In a move that's unlikely to surprise anyone, Codemasters have started the process of closing its Guildford Studio, creator of Bodycount. The UK developer wants to focus on its racing properties and is encouraging the 66 empl...

Okay, so maybe Jim didn't care for WayFoward's reboot of the BloodRayne franchise with last week's release of BloodRayne: Betrayal, but I'm here to tell you that it wasn't all bad. The game's soundtrack, composed by Jake Kauf...

In a surprisingly pleasant bit of news, it has been announced that BloodRayne: Betrayal will release August 30 on PlayStation Network and August 31 on Xbox Live Arcade. Nice! BloodRayne: Betrayal is well on its way to becomin...

Games are growing up. There is a very real movement to mine greater emotional depth from interactive entertainment, to produce clever narratives and explore engaging themes. We're seeing games that strive for a level of matur...

GoldenEye 007 for the Wii wasn’t the only Bond game to come out this holiday season. No, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 also got their dose of Bond in the form of an original Bond adventure called Blood Stone. Since the...

Sidhe Interactive’s Blood Drive welcomes players to Las Rulettas, a fictional Las Vegas-inspired setting for a vehicular homicide reality show that shares the game’s name. Bonus: Blood Drive’s arenas are lit...

My hands are tired. My right hand in particular is a numb, unresponsive mass of flesh and bone that refuses to do anything I tell it to. I blame Bleach: Soul Resurreccion, a new cut-'em-up that requires some serious button ma...

When people talk about EVO, most people recall the big names in Street Fighter or Marvel vs. Capcom 3, such as Daigo Umehara and Justin Wong. However, Capcom games aren't the only ones getting representation at this fighting ...

It has been the year of fighting games. Dragon punches, quarter turns, blocks, double jumps, ultras, aerials, health bars, tag teaming, crossovers, and a whole lot more means it's practically 1997 all over again. Know what el...

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND, which was announced earlier this year for the PS Vita (and later for the PS3 and Xbox 360), will be getting a limited edition. The LE will include a calender, 40 page art book, and soundtrack...

BlazBlue Chronophantasma, the next entry in the BlazBlue franchise, is hitting Japan later this year. In order to get people sufficiently pumped, a new gameplay trailer has surfaced with that classic rock feel we'd expect fr...

[Update: Aksys Games has confirmed at E3 that BlazBlue Chronophantasma will be released in the US next year.] BlazBlue Chronophantasma is coming to the PS3 later this year in Japan, and Arc System Works has another trailer t...

When I read the "word" BlazBlue, I immediately hear Bill Cosby in my head babbling a "Blazem Blazblue Blippity BLOP". Did Bill Cosby ever actually say anything like that, or is that something we just believe due to the antics...

If you thought the intense Blades of Time saga was over just because we finally got a copy and were able to review it, think again. In astounding news, it seems that an honest-to-God Limited Edition version is on its way to P...

If the main hero of your comic is a pointy-eared young girl with perky breasts and pink hair, it is one of two things -- a Japanese Manga, or a Western comic that desperately wishes it was a Japanese Manga. Blade Kitten, a co...

Darkworks will be known to those who played Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare and checked the box to see who to blame. The studio also did work on Ubisoft's I Am Alive, which appears to be filling in the vaporware gap lef...

Within my first thirty minutes of playing Black Knight Sword, I encountered a menu option called "cat head grass," a giant mother eye that eats hearts, and severed skulls in a microwave oven that serve as health power-ups. Yep, this is definitely a Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality joint.

By the time Bit.Trip Runner burst onto the scene three years ago, Gaijin Games had already established itself on WiiWare with a trio of some of the best games on the platform. The retro-inspired rhythm series shared certain c...

Combat flight simulators, like real-time strategy games, are a resilient breed which has always struggled to find its place on consoles. A mouse and keyboard control scheme is almost always preferred over a gamepad when it co...

Bioshock Infinite has been out for a little while now. The spoiler police are starting to doze off at their posts. The game's harshest critics and most passionate fans have seemingly declared a temporary cease fire (at least...

Are we past the point where I can stop warning people about spoilers? Well just in case, don't watch this if you haven't beaten BioShock Infinite yet. Actually, this won't even make sense until you have gotten all the way th...

BioShock Infinite is still a few months off, so 2K Games has decided to make a quick buck in the interim with BioShock: Ultimate Rapture Edition. Slated for January 14, the package bundles both BioShock and BioShock 2, along ...

I know I'm not the only person that's fantasized about having plasmid powers. Andrew Ryan may have been a bat crazy anarchist, but he created a city where super powers became a thing, so he's alright with me. Thanks to TheDa...

In 2008, Capcom rebooted the Bionic Commando franchise with two remarkably disparate approaches. On one end of the spectrum was the third-person action retail title, Bionic Commando, which found ex-Faith No More singer Mike P...

In what's been one of the biggest surprises of the year, Yakuza Studio have managed to succeed where so many Japanese developers have failed, creating a solid "Western"-style shooter in Binary Domain. So if you missed ou...

FPS players, are you getting tired of killing your fellow humans? Say no more, for it's time to move on to the lesser species in the food chain. That's right, that game where you can decimate animal populations is back! Admi...

We've had our time with upcoming PS3 title Beyond: Two Souls before, but only briefly. But for E3 we've finally got our first sizable hands-on with Quantic Dream's latest, and it surprised me in several ways.  First surp...

Ubisoft's oldie-but-goodie HD update was supposed to come out in May on the PS3, but all that hackery and drama got in the way. Now we have a new date for Beyond Good & Evil HD: Wednesday, June 8th. That's right in the mi...

In addition to the launch of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time for the PlayStation 3 and Vita (cross-buy for PS3), another franchise title is coming out today on the PSN: Bentley's Hackpack. It's priced at $2.99, and will also be ...

Sony does a pretty terrible job at promoting its first-party games. For instance, take Sly Cooper. Droves of gamers were not only unaware that Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time launched last week, but they were completely in the da...

If you absolutely cannot wait for a new kart racing game, then D3 Publisher has you covered with the sixth installment in the Ben 10 series, Ben 10 Galactic Racing, which features 16 playable characters and 25 tracks that spa...

Bejeweled has been around for years and has spawned quite a few variations. Keeping things fresh, however, is not always easy. PopCap is well known for fun, entertaining games however, and Bejeweled is just another of its wil...

As an Android user surrounded by iOS gamers, I sometimes feel like the red-headed stepchild when it comes to mobile gaming. Thankfully, the folks at Humble Indie Bundle have been pointing out some of the better Android games,...

If you were to poll me as to what some of my favorite games of all time were, you'd see a lot of Clover Studio and Platinum Games titles on that list. Quite a bit, actually. Both studios are comprised of brilliant minds that ...

Your name is Hasbro and you own the rights to a well-known board game, centered about guessing where the opponent's ships are. What do you do? Naturally, you let Universal turn it into a blockbuster marketed to look like Mich...

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam is one of those rare products where if it simply works as promised -- or gets even marginally close -- it's a crowd pleaser. DICE ran into some temporary technical issues with online multipl...

Are you sitting down? Because you should be before you read this next sentence: Battlefield 3 is only six weeks away from release. Before that game drops, though, DICE hasn't forgotten about its current entry in the fran...

Deadline has a report detailing a deal between FOX and Electronic Arts to make a show about Battlefield: Bad Company happen. It's being pitched as an hour long action comedy and will see John Eisendrath on the project, whose...

The dawn of the next-generation of gaming is upon us, and if Battlefield 4 is any indication, multiplayer won't differ too much with the changing of the guard. Not yet anyway. That'll probably work just fine for fans of...

EA's pretty keen on its Battlefield franchise, and wants to make sure you're as geared-up as possible for Battlefield 4. The best way to do this is probably to ensure that players are still playing lots of Battlefield 3....

It's an innocuous enough little blog post -- an article on Battlelog aiming to help Xbox 360 users save space on their hard-drives by deleting obsolete Battlefield 3 update files. Fair enough, right? Wrong!  The otherwis...

Sony Computer Entertainment America president Jack Tretton announced some exclusive content for the PlayStation 3 version of Batman: Arkham Origins during the company's E3 press conference. There's a 1960s Batman skin that looks goofy in all the right ways, as well as Knightfall DLC. Gotta love Knightfall!

Rocksteady did absolutely everything right in Batman: Arkham City. This includes the stellar sound design; punching thugs makes a satisfying thud, bones make an earth-shattering crack, and even Batman's cape itself has a cas...
