This week was a long and unbelievably challenging one. I really don't have too much to say about it, not right here anyway. But it's always nice to be among friends, and here at Destructoid, you are always among friends. I hope that you hav...

Seeing as how Apex Legends launched less than two weeks ago, Valentine's Day is the first chance we get to see how Respawn's free-to-play battle royale handles seasonal and special events. If Valentine's Day is indicative of the model ...

[Image: In lieu of any games I played, here's actor Dick Miller, who I'm pretty sure appeared in every single movie that I've ever watched, and who passed this week at 90 years of age. RIP buddy.]The first month of 2019 is done. Can you bel...

Although Nintendo have admitted themselves that winter is their most profitable season, the U.K. market has always been one of their lower-drawing demographics when compared to Japan and America. Here in Blighty, people are all about PlaySt...

Another splatfest is in the books, as this weekend saw the global Splatoon 2 community wage war in the online shooter's seasonal Frosty Fest. This time, things got a little philosophical, with a topic which saw Friends square off against Fa...

The start of the new year has long been considered the best time to develop better habits not just for gaming, but for our entire lives. The symbolic gesture of renewing yourself with the yearly cycle of seasons makes this a popular time to...

Looks like we already at the end of the first week of 2019, if not the first full week, but why be picky about these things? Fact is, the new year is underway and I'm already quite ill, which better not be a portent for things to come over ...

This is it. The new year is already underway. We're already on the second day of 2019 and boy, is the year dragging. Still, there's plenty of hope and opportunity ahead and I hope that it will prove to be an amazing, happy and successful 12...

There's one day left of THE SINGLE LONGEST YEAR OF ALL TIME. In fact, here in the U.K. there's merely half a day left. 2018 has been quite a year... let's leave it at that. But now, as the clock ticks down to the start of 2019, new hope and...

It's that awkward week between Christmas and the start of a brand new year. Some of us will still be off work, others will never have been off work. Some companies are still closed, while some outlets are running weekend hours. Human sacrif...

As I've said many times, Christmas was always synonymous with video games in my family. Sure I was mostly the only one that played them, and even though we didn't have a ton of money, my mom was a keen shopper. Whether it Toxic Crusade...

It has been a real rough start for Bethesda's open-world MMO Fallout 76. I'm not sure if anyone needs me to dial back through the various issues, major and minor, that have hit the post-apocalyptic title since its November launch, but let's...

For many of you, the week is over, and the holidays have begun. Some of you will be off work now until after the 25th. For others it will be business as usual. Some may be sitting at home, basking in self, while others will be making long t...

The Winter Wonderland 2018 skins for Overwatch are mostly themed around winter sports. They're okay if you're into grounded designs, but I prefer the more out-there stuff. I wasn't really feeling them. There's one big exception, though, and...

Blizzard has begun sharing the latest batch of Overwatch character skins ahead of next week's Winter Wonderland event. I was hoping we'd see creative festive designs. So far, the results are mixed. The first skin, Sugar Plum Fairy Mercy, is...
