If you’re a gamer in the US, likely your only encounter with the Ys brand before this era would have been with Wanderers from Ys for the SNES. It was certainly my first experience, and one that h... more

The Wii U marked the beginning of a new console generation of video games, with Microsoft and Sony's offerings soon to follow. This past generation gave us some great games, but it left kind of... more
I want to go on the record here and say that I absolutely LOVE horror. I never used to; It was the movie, of all things, that got me hooked on the genre. The series was my first foray into ... more
Hey Destructoidians, Returner Mike here once again with the thrilling second episode of my special, ‘So Your Rampant Insanity Has Driven You To Create Something’. Last post dealt with what I like... more
Apologies, but this’ll be a long one. About a year ago, I received a strange notification. An offhand remark that I enjoyed writing in my free time had caught someone’s attention on one of the ... more

I am nearly finished with Max Payne 3, and have finally come to admit to myself a difficult truth. I don’t like this game. This was a shocker to me, as MP 1 & 2 are games that I consider to b... more
I find myself in a position I’m becoming rather familiar with (no, not reverse cowgirl)... owning all of the games in an upcoming pack. So now that I’m finally doing this crazy blog thing, I figu... more
