Taking a console or PC game and putting it on mobile isn't as easy as people may think. Getting it to run on high-end phones and tablets is certainly doable, but making it so the game is actually playable is where the challenge lies. Not ev...

After much hullabaloo, Blizzard has finally added a much-requested role queue to its popular shooter Overwatch. As someone who has played the game religiously for well over a year, the move was welcomed with open arms. But now that I'v...

This year hasn't exactly been the best on the books for mobile gaming. Many of the biggest titles have so far failed to meet expectations and much of what is on the horizon isn't exactly painting a glowing picture of mobile's future. Howeve...
The Podtoid team is back together once again, just in time to say goodbye to DuckTales. While Chris laments a game many people will never get a chance to play, the rest of the team reminisces on Omega Labyrinth Life, Rage 2, Metal...
Ohhhhh...now I understand why Sony only wanted a censored version of this game on its console.
It's still a bit surprising to me that one of the most incendiary stories we can post on Destructoid isn't about sex or violence or "censorship" in games. Those were the hallmarks of news bits that used to drive people to the comments secti...
Podtoid is back with an all-new episode, and while we're down exactly one Dan, the rest of the crew is ready to carry on with a particularly frisky show. CJ, Chris, Charlotte, and Occams are on hand to talk Omega Labyrinth Life, Salute Your...

It leaked prior to Sunday's big BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle finals, but Arc System Works did confirm on the Evo stage that Version 2.0 of the game is on its way and bringing with it nine new characters for the anime fighter. Fans of RWB...
Do you ever wonder what time the Podtoid crew actually sits down to record the show? Well, because our hosts live on two different continents in three different time zones, it's quite difficult to find a time we're all available. That's why...
Is there any situation that the presence of a clown improves? No, of course there isn't. Be it a birthday party, a circus, or a cruise ship full of drunk people, clowns unequivocally make every situation worse. And on this episode of the Po...
So, there is this game coming out where you punch the living shit out demons and somehow, I only found out about it this morning. Devil's Hunt is an upcoming action game from Polish developer Layopi Games that lets players knuckle up a...
I have no idea if Nintendo and Syn Sophia are planning a fifth entry in the Style Savvy series for Switch, but I sure as heck hope they are. 2017's Styling Star ended up being my favorite game in the franchise and while I've enjoy...
I can recall the very first time I experienced the awful phenomenon known as FOMO, or “fear of missing out.” It was in middle school. I was obsessed with the WWF at the time and my family had recently traded in our SNES for the ...
Zombieland, the 2009 horror-comedy starring Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Jessie Eisenberg, and Abigail Breslin, is about as close as you can get to making the perfect zombie film. It's got thrills, chills, and a quartet of characters y...
The Dragon Quest Hero is, as of right now, my favorite addition to Smash Bros. Ultimate through the season pass. As a 10-year fan (and counting) of the series, it's great to see some representation in the biggest fighting game in ...
Thatgamecompany is a developer that doesn't so much make games as it does create playable poetry. Its trilogy of titles for PlayStation sought to establish a connection with players on a more spiritual level. Games like Flow and Flower ...

[Update: This original story, written in unfortunate haste, misidentified Omega Labyrinth Life as a port of Omega Labyrinth Z. This is incorrect. Life is a sequel to Z and I apologize for my error on this.] Omega Labyri...
Comic-Con was over the weekend and if you are a comic book fan, or rather, a Marvel comic book fan, you were treated to some huge news out of Hall H. There is a new Blade film on the horizon, the Fantastic 4 are joining the MCU, and so...
The Harry Potter franchise is a riddle gaming just hasn't been able to crack yet. There have been many attempts over the years, with different developers and publishers taking a swing at the book and film series, with mostly middling r...
One common thread I've heard about gaming for the past several years is the amazing quality of Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Once arguably the worst mainline title in the series, it has evolved into what many, many, many&...
