If you're a massive shmup fan, you own a Dreamcast. The number of quality shooters released on that white-box-of-awesome far exceeds that of any other console (with the 360 coming in a close second). Years after the console's demise, dedi...

For me, this would have to be the best news of the year. Being a HUGE fan of shmups, and Cave in particular, I was ecstatic when I heard that the innovative shmup "Deathsmiles" would be getting a european release. It'll be brought over cou...

I've recently been taking a bit of time outta my not-too-busy schedule to learn how to create games for the Atari 2600. Since I love Destructoid so much, I've decided this site of awesome deserves it's own (semi) official game. Since I'm ne...

You heard right. Treasure have combined forces with Hori to make an arcade stick specifically designed (but perhaps not exclusively) for the upcoming release of Radiant Silvergun on XBLA. Not only is this good news unto itself, but it als...

I've finally done it. I actually stuck with a programming language long enough to vaguely learn it. And I produced my first program from scratch. I'm proud, to be honest. And it's coded in Python. It's creatively named. It's called the 'Ar...

Special thanks to CAFFEINE KNIGHT for recommending this game to me. I'll get this clear at the beginning. I won't say anything about the story. I reckon it's better if you find it out for yourself. With that out the way, it's time to actu...

Yes. I'm back. With another free game. This one's called Cottage of Doom. It's a very simple survival horror game. With zombies. You control your character with the mouse. Left-click is move, left-click twice to sprint, and right-click to ...

Times are tough. The economy's stuffed. People don't have as much money as they used to. So who could decline a free offer? Especially an offer for a free game? Well this game's free, and it's a good one. Black Shades (developed by Wolfire...

Yup. I couldn't stay away for more than 10 minutes. But I had to tell the world what came. I got The Legend of Zelda for the NES. It freaking rocks. I'm on the 5th dungeon and think it rocks. It combines elements of exploration, combat and ...
