Despite the guff it gets from some members of the fighting game community, the Smash Bros. franchise is not only the biggest game in the genre but also one of the biggest in all of gaming. Each and every entry in the series has outsold...

One of the things I love of Japanese developers is they aren't afraid to bring the strange, the weird, and the absolute crazy. I won't always like it -- Penny Punching Princess comes to mind -- but I love the experimentation and imagin...

One of 2018's biggest stories has been the demise of Telltale Games and the fate of the critically acclaimed The Walking Dead franchise. Two episodes in the series's final season were released before the studio shuttered, putting its f...

The Kinda Funny Games Showcase kicked off with an announcement I've been waiting years to hear: YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG is finally set to release. And soon. Very soon. Like, just over a month from now. The Ackk Studios project is set t...

Four years ago, I was in dire straits as a Wii U owner. The console was flopping, Nintendo couldn't move units, and developers who all seemed to be on board at the beginning were nowhere to be seen. Many, many quality experiences passed me ...

This was supposed to be an awards show, right? Maybe "The Game Awards" is the wrong name for what I just watched. Perhaps "Non-Platform Specific December E3 Keynote-Like Show" would be more apt given that a trailer for a monkey game got mor...

When it was announced Panic Button was bringing Warframe to Switch, I had to Google what Warframe was. Until that moment, I don’t think I spared a second of my life thinking about it. Here was a free-to-play PC game that launched with...

Steamboat Willie, considered the first cartoon to feature Mickey Mouse and Minnie even though the silent short Plane Crazy debuted months before, turns 90-years-old today. It was this day, November 18, back in 1928 when the black-...

Earlier this year, I was invited to Las Vegas to cover the inaugural weekend of the H1Z1 Pro League, or H1PL. It was a big, glitzy affair, put on by league owners Twin Galaxies, with guest appearances from celebrities like Michelle Rodrigue...

(Update: The same day this story went live on Destructoid, an update launched for Stardew Valley that alleviated some of these concerns. For starters, outside of festivals and special events, the game will now quick save when you ...

I've always been a collector. I think it's something I get from my father. He has a massive sports card and memorabilia collection kept away in boxes in mint to near mint condition, accumulating value until he's able to retire, sell all of ...

One of my favorite games of the past decade is a wonderful little collection called NES Remix. From indiezero and Nintendo, this trio of games took classic NES titles and reimagined how people played them. It was a great success, but after ...

Last year I started a new tradition where around Halloween, I would break out my collection of Wii games and play what I consider to be the greatest horror game in my collection. While I wouldn't say I'm the biggest horror fan -- and maybe ...

Last year, the two best games on mobile didn’t come from King, or Nicalis, or Tencent. They came from Onion Games, a Japanese indie studio founded by Rule of Rose and Little King’s Story developer Yoshiro Kimura. Dandy Dungeon a...
