The following piece is neither thorough nor polished. Essentially, over at , there was some discussion about the importance of for the Japanese strategy RPG genre. I argued that was more centr... more
There's been a long road up until this point. We've covered the brokenness of Final Fantasy 2 (11th place). We've covered the problems that held FF8 and FF12 back (9th place). We have discusse... more
I ran out of silly titles for this series. Whatcha gonna do, y'know? So, to recap, I am ranking the Final Fantasy mainline games, except for side-games, 11, 14, and, for no good reason at all, ... more
Welcome to the second installment of Final Rankasy, which ranks the top 11 best Final Fantasy games (not counting 11, 13, or 14 or any side games) ever made! Last time, we covered Final Fantasy ... more
I'm here to engage in a pretty standard practice: ranking the mainline Final Fantasy series. Although I've been considering this for a while now, Stealth's ranking of the side story games final... more
Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 are commonly agreed to be classics of the action platforming genre and of the NES more generally. They both combined tight controls, solid presentation, good music, fun leve... more
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (with Alien Crossfire expansion) was a bit of a revelation for 4x gamers back in the day. On one hand, this was clearly a Civilization game. Alpha Centauri was the pl... more
I've read the RPS and Joystiq reviews, as well as some of the other chatter happening around the tubes, and I've come to the conclusion that there are a lot of misnomers out there about Civ 5's m... more
So, as I mentioned might happen in my post about Warlock, I broke down and bought Endless Space. For the unaware, Endless Space is the first game from Amplitude. Amplitude is a new, independent... more
I’m not entirely sure when the wretched tentacles of the real world’s troubles began to wriggle their way in to my preferred form of escapism, but I would really love it if they would stay the ... more
Maybe there are rules against this. Maybe it's been done before, or there are threads like this on the forums. Maybe you've already heard of all of these. If so, I apologize, but, if I help an... more
I know there aren't many PC gamers on Dtoid, but I figured I'd add my thoughts on this game anyway. Let's see how it goes. If you aren't aware, Warlock: Master of the Arcane (simply Warlock fro... more
There are few things in this industry that motivates me to write these days. However, when I came across this ambitious indie title by Theory Interactive, I had to bring it to the Destructoid... more
I'm so sick and tired of the ignorance that pervades this site when it comes to the used game market and online passes. It seems like once a week or so, Jim launches some big tirade against onli... more
I don't know. I'm considering doing a series on great games that are generally overlooked. I decided that, if I'm going to start anywhere, I'll start with the Langrisser series. Revisited Gem ... more
OK OK OK , LET ME TALK, EVERYONE SHUT THE CHAOS UP. (no I will not apologize for that big ass picture, it's manly.) k. k. um... ok.. k. *cracks hands while looking around* k. Wha... more
Before you write off the rest of this post, let me just state that I in fact believe that games are a valid form of art, and that sometimes the medium's merits are sold short. With that said, ho... more
When Final Fantasy XIV was revealed one of the first things that was announced was a beta test. Within a matter of weeks a beta application went up on the main FFXIV site, but nobody has receiv... more
I've found myself with some free time before my last semester of college, and I'm looking to start a series of illustrations (which may or may not lead to my final, senior project). The idea cam... more
I'm a guy who likes his music within arm's reach. My friends make fun of me because I constantly have headphones around my neck. I swear, I have a headphone fetish or something. But awhile ago, m... more
Pitiful. I'm not sure how this happened. Sales of Sin and Punishment on Virtual Console were so good that Treasure actually translated the menus and brought it over to western countries, and th... more
I had this sketched in my notebook for a few months, so I decided to ink and color it this afternoon. Most of my childhood was spent with my fingers wrapped around an SNES pad, and I was feeling ... more
I'm a little too lazy this evening to think of a proper introduction to my argument, so I'll cut right to the chase: video games to be fun. I'm not saying games can't ever be more than fun, or ... more
ALL YOU GUYS CARE ABOUT IS OCARINA OF TIME AND WIND WAKER. JUST LEAVE TWILIGHT PRINCESS ALOOOOOOONE. Ah, I didn't see you there. I've been replaying Twilight Princess lately; maybe it's becaus... more
I have a confession: I never really "got" Miku. She's a robot thing, she sings, and she likes vegetables? I never understood you, Japan. Anyways, the PSP game seems to be getting a bit of attent... more
Things to note: -This is a full on collaboration. It's not Nintendo handing off their franchise to another company; the Metroid staff are working on this to make sure it's going to be a true M... more
http://wii.ign.com/articles/987/987312p1.html Pretty exciting stuff. Looks like enough people bought Retro Game Challenge to convince them to bring this neat game stateside as well, which is jus... more
Gonna leave the screencap as a URL, so no one can complain about how I ruined this awesome nugget of win. Holy shit. UPDATE: someone made a short youtube with two more photos, one showing the... more
Yes! My buddy emailed me these with the subject "OMGOMGOMGOMG", so I can't really comment on these, but it looks legit. Kudos to Capcom for bringing this over. Wii might not get MvC2, but at... more
I visited my parents again this weekend, and like all visits, my dad's been actively talking to me about how far he got in a game or a new title he's looking forward to. A few weeks ago, my da... more
