Arms. In this post-Splatoon 2 world, are you still playing it? I'm not, but that's because I don't own the game. Or a Switch. But more than one million people have bought it and next year at Evo Japan it will be one of the featured tit... read
The Titanfall franchise has had a bit of a rough go of it, innit? The first game was hyped into the stratosphere and came crashing down to Earth not long after launch when players seem to just get bored of it all. Titanfall 2, inarguably a ... read
Madonna once said, “Music makes the people come together.” She also said, “There’s, like no lessons…. There’s, like, no books about anything,” probably in that stupid fake British voice she has goi... read
I think I’m too old to be attempting to cover all the good mobile games that come out. I try to keep up, but with so many hitting the App Store and Google Play every week, I tend to miss more than a lion’s share of quality gamin... read
When coming up with this week's question, I had a thought. Looking back over the past Destructoid Discusses, I never centered one around the Xbox. Now, part of that reason is I've never owned an Xbox. I have been able to play all three gene... read
Following news the Nintendo Switch will be getting a mainline entry in the Pokémon series either in 2018 or sometime after, I have to remind myself the 3DS is also getting two new games in the franchise this fall. Pokémon... read
During last night's live stream of everything Dragon Quest, we got some good snippets of info on the series. Dragon Quest XI, released just over a week ago, has already hit 3 million copies sold across the PS4 and 3DS. Dragon Quest Builders... read
Here I was just lamenting the need for more Dragon Quest in my life and who should come to my rescue but the only company capable of doing so with this particular property. During a live stream, Square Enix announced Dragon Quest Build... read
I got into the Dragon Quest series far later than I should have. If was the Wii/DS era and the first game that did it for me was Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime. It's a game I still consider one of the 10 best I've played. After that sunk... read
Last night, as is my yearly tradition, I attended the Zelda Symphony concert. It's my fourth year going and my first not in Southern California. Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco is a choice venue for the show -- much better than the Do... read
I don't know if you know this, but Dragon Quest is kind of a big deal in Japan. Like, a real big deal. It is to Japan what heart disease is to America. On Friday, the latest entry in the series, Dragon Quest XI, dropped and more than t... read
The Professor Layton franchise is probably my favorite thing to come out of the Nintendo DS era. A well-written, wonderfully animated adventure game with puzzles that truly tested my logic skills was just what I needed after years of more m... read
Do you remember this? read
Sitting on my desk right now are unopened copies of Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2. Having just got a PlayStation 4, I’m playing a bit of catch up with some of the games I’ve missed over its life. I’ve never played a Dark Sou... read
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is, as I have been told, popular. Very popular. It's the game of choice of The D-Team, it hit six million copies sold earlier this month, and it's produced some entertaining stories of people tempting the hands... read
The 3DS’s days may be numbered, but the plucky little handheld isn’t ready to call it quits just yet. Today it’s seeing the release of two new first-party games in Hey! Pikmin and Miitopia. Both are cute, late-in-the-game ... read
Tomodachi Life is one of the strangest games to come out of Nintendo and, when it launched, it became a lightning rod for stupid controversy over the supposed removal of same-sex relationships from the game. A misunderstanding as ... read
You know what puts a smile on my face? Watching Joan Rivers dressed as a princess use a big wad of cash to “Zsa-Zsa” a turkey with a face on its butt named “Twerkey.” That’s funny, and it’s just one of th... read
Twin Peaks Twin Falls has itself a bit of a menacing problem. Portals to an alternative world known as the Darkside have been popping up around town. The normal police force isn’t equipped to handle this issue, leaving only Detec... read
Last week, the cinema world lost one of its giant giants. I refer to George A. Romero as a giant giant for two reasons: 1) He basically invented an entire genre of film, and 2) the motherfucker was 6’4”. Goddamn that is tall. If... read
Pokémon Go’s success has been quite the odd roller coaster. It launched like a bat out of hell with people around the world wandering the streets, college campuses and anywhere else the radar told them to go. As it grew, the ne... read
Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy, which for the sake of brevity will be referred to as Layton’s Mystery Journey for the rest of this review in progress, begins with a changing of the gua... read
We're opening the Destructoid Discusses Question of the Week to the community once more!
Following this weekend’s announcement that the next iteration of the popular British sci-fi series Doctor Who would feature a female actor in the lead role, the BBC set off a new firestorm today after it was announced the next Doctor ... read
Video gaming as an industry has been around for a few decades now. It’s older than I am, probably older than anyone who will read this. For 40+ years we’ve been gaming, and in that time I’ve seen, and probably you’ve... read
