Have you ever been enraptured by a single image from a video game? Just one shot, one minuscule slice of a final product that you just can't take eyes off of, that lives in your brain for days or even weeks after? I've had my fair share. Th...

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 ...

Podtoid is back and the crew is ornery as hell. As Occams takes a break to visit his family in Mississippi; CJ, Dan, Charlotte, and Chris get to talking about all the big news from last week, including everything Star Wars Celebra...

Dragon Marked for Death is a game Destructoid has been talking about for a very long time. We first got wind of it in 2011, when it was revealed the game would be coming out for the then-new Nintendo 3DS following a platform change. After t...

Developer Frogwares has quietly been making a name for itself over the past dozen years or so with its take on the Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic Sherlock Holmes. While its titles have never been the darling of games critics, the company...

In all my years of gaming, from the NES all the way through our current generation of consoles, there has been a single instance where I actually wore out a controller. It was the purple GameCube controller that came with my console. I put ...

After a week away, the Podtoid crew is back and ready to talk games, killer animals, British food, and everything wrong with EA. On this week's episode, Chris, CJ, Dan, Charlotte, and Occams cover Shazam, Battlefield V, The E...

Benjamin Franklin once wrote: Nothing is certain except death and taxes. He’s right, but in our modern era of gaming, I’d like to add one more certainty to that list: that your favorite video game franchise will one day release ...

Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are two of the best games you can buy on Switch. Both are incredibly fun, bright, vibrant, and showcase phenomenal game design that puts them at the top of their resp...

It's the last full week of March and Podtoid is back with an all-new episode. This week, the team is sans Dan but they have plenty to talk about with GDC, Google Stadia, Cadence of Hyrule, Devil May Cry 5, This War of Mine, Chocobo's M...

Bertil Hörberg is probably the only Swedish name I know. I can't pronounce it to save my life, but it's a name that's been at the forefront of my mind when it comes to the games industry. Hörberg, if you are unaware, is the creato...

Digital Extremes's Warframe has fought against the odds to become one of the biggest free-to-play games available today. After a rocky start, the game has built a strong following across four different platforms of fans who are addicte...

One of the things I quite enjoy about Nippon Ichi Software is it's always willing to try new things. Each year, you can depend on the developer-cum-publisher to release one or two titles that are completely unique from everything else in it...

It's GDC week and the big rumors swirling around the show are about Google and its Project Yeti. Will it introduce the future of video gaming? Does it have a comfortable controller? Is it all a ruse to get Jade Raymond under the Google umbr...

I’ve been pretty high on Lapis X Labyrinth since it was first announced by NIS America late last year. With its adorably cute characters, well-drawn levels, and fast-paced combat, it quickly became a game I needed in my Switch to play...

The entire Podtoid team is back and they've got big games to cover. Devil May Cry 5, Wrath, Ape Escape, and more are on the docket, plus EA's E3 plans, Nintendo Labo VR, "Christmas Shoes," and when it is or isn't appropriate to choke somebo...

Each year, NIS America puts on an event in San Francisco for the press where the company highlights the games it's publishing in the coming year. Last February, the talk of the show was SNK Heroines: Tag-Team Frenzy, the bright and sparkly ...

The Kirby franchise has always been something of a petri dish for Nintendo. While its other franchises remain more-or-less the same with each new entry, the company hasn't been afraid to experiment with the pink puff. Games like K...

For the past few weeks, I’ve been obsessing a bit about the Resident Evil 2 remake. Not the game itself which I’m sure is very fine, but rather the mod community that keeps thinking of ways to absolutely blow me away. Whether it...

Podtoid is back with an all-new episode and is missing most of its cast. Charlotte, Chris, and Dan are out for the week, so CJ and Occams have brought in Podtoid's sixth man: Wes Russow (it's pronounced "Smith"). Join them as they talk...

As much as some people will refuse to believe it, one of the best games I've ever played is an always-online mobile game from Japan. In 2017, I reviewed Dandy Dungeon: Legend of Brave Yamada and absolutely fell in love with it. And I k...

A few months back, I got the opportunity to play ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove with series creator Greg Johnson. In a relaxed and comfortably humid showroom, the two of us sat side-by-side, guiding the titular heroes through this fr...

For the past few weeks, the March release that has been at the top of my most-wanted list is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. I've been amped up on that game since it was first revealed in 2017. But there is a second game coming out this month th...

It's Monday and that means the Podtoid crew is back on its bullshit. This week, CJ fights a cold and the fear, Occams is pigging out in Far Cry: New Dawn, Charlotte is punishing herself with another run through Persona 5, Chris is up to his...
