gamescom blew our expectations away and showed us exactly why it's one of the most popular videogame conventions in the world last week. We saw a ton of great games, and nominated loads of titles in 12 different categories, i...
Many of us at Destructoid have been looking forward to Hawken for a very long time now. How could we not? The mech genre was seemingly dead in the water until Adhesive Games revealed the teaser video which showed us a mech ga...
