It's almost Thanksgiving, so that means I have to get the Christmas Tree down from the attic. Normally I make Mrs. Lucha help, but she's busy so it's up to me to get this task done. Ever see someone stream getting a Christmas Tree out of an...
Lauren Faust is a powerful person. She helped take a relatively unremarkable children's show aimed at pre-teen girls and transform it into a multi-media, multi-generation, multi-billion-dollar sensation. She also apparently has the power to...
At least some part of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fandom is taking one on the chin today. The group of fans working together to produce a fighting game based on the plucky ponies has been struck by a cease and desist order ...
There exists a five-book My Little Pony / Fallout crossover series entitled Fallout: Equestria. Written entirely by fans for fans, it takes two absolute extremes and mashes them together in a 2000+ page, 620,000+ word labor of blood, sweat,...
Rhythm Heaven Fever is my favorite game of 2012. I love Fez and Retro City Rampage and Fatal Frame 2 and many, many other games that were released this year, but none of them have made a permanent change to my daily life the way ...
Oooooh, you guys f*cked up! Thanks to your overwhelming responses in the past, I know that I can score about a billion views and 100+ comments simply by posting anything My Little Pony-related. Thanks for making my job super easy! This vid...
With TGS nearly upon us, news this week has been rather slow; I'm sure you've noticed. As such, I'm going to call it right now: Derek Yu's comic about Spelunky Man and Meat Boy is the best thing that's going to happen today. They are made o...
At this point, I ought to just have a percentage of my paychecks go straight to Terry Cavanagh. Everything he does I seem to either enjoy, or at the very least, find interesting. Arguably his best game, VVVVVV, is now on Steam. If you have ...
By the time I realized Capcom was offering those ever-delightful Servbots in Bobble Budd form during this year's Comic-Con, it was already too late. I'm fairly certain I even cursed the name of Giant Bomb's own Ryan Davis for tweeting a pic...
2D, sprite-based platformers seem to be the go-to genre for many independent developers. If you aren't the kind of person who grew up on 8- or 16-bit titles, this can be a hard sell. Dooder by Matthew Thomas Seely certainly applies, and I ...
The popular 90s trivia game series You Don't Know Jack, as revealed on the Giant Bombcast, is being brought back into the fray by Jellyvision and THQ. On the game's official website, Jellyvision lovingly says "We told you so. P.S. More THQ/...
PDP sent over a press release yesterday announcing Tron: Evolution and Epic Mickey controllers it was making, and we basically ignored it. Because, you know, “LOL, controllers,” right? Today’s slow news day forced my hand ...
While Nintendo hasn't uttered a word on the subject yet, Japanese financial paper Nikkei reports (via Andriasang) that the 3DS will allow you to install your software to the handheld's internal memory. For those who aren't familiar with how...
General manager of Xbox LIVE Marc Whitten continues his trend of writing us "letters" that recap Microsoft's happenings at E3 once again. He usually slips in one or two unannounced items, and this year's report is no different. Whitten disc...
Ubisoft's E3 press conference kicked off with Q Entertainment's Tetsuya Mizuguchi wearing a swanky pair of white gloves while he worked it on stage with his new Kinect-centric game, Child of Eden. Basically, it was amazing. Hopefully we'll ...
E3 is going to be massive, and it's only a few days away. After taking a deep breath and digesting the mighty "Games of E3" list we posted yesterday, I polled the Destructoid staff to find out what title they think are going to be the hot...
My strong desire to avoid playing MMOs is not something I've ever tried to hide. Even if I wanted to get pulled into one of these games, the time honestly isn't there. You can imagine, then, how I feel when videos about crazy stunts GMs pu...
I don't own an iPhone or have any real interest in the vast majority of the games exclusive to the device. Why am I telling you this? Because against all odds, I am supremely intrigued by Pix'n Love Rush, which just so happens to be an iPh...
First the good news: OMG Evil Dead RPG! Now the bad: It's not a real thing. The above screens are the work of London-based pixel artist Gary J Lucken, who goes by the name Army of Trolls. Lucken posted the mock-up screens on his portfolio W...
When we last heard about Michel Gagne and Fuelcell Games' independent project Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, it seemed as if the game was likely going to get a release on Xbox LIVE Arcade. I mean, just look at this thing! Have you seen the...
Another World -- or Out of this World, as many of you will know it by -- is now on DRM-free digital distribution service Good Old Games. It can be had for $9.99. Need I say more? I love the game, even though I have never made it more than o...
My desire to play Transformers: War for Cybertron gets a big ol' boost every time one of these videos gets pushed out the door; this latest behind-the-scenes video is probably the worst offender yet. I am more immensely curious about the q...
Oh Valve and your adorable marketing team -- is there anything you can't do? Taking a break from the absolutely insane Portal shenanigans, let's instead take a look at some swanky pictures that various game-covering outlets received today. ...
Due to the ridiculously awesome nature of this news, I'm going to skip the pleasantries and jump right to it: Thanks to the success of Mega Man 9, a new Mega Man game presented in good ol' 16-bit fashion seems like a possibility. "Reviving ...
Insane videogame trivia that someone won't discover until years after the fact and Nintendo sure do go hand in hand. The prime example (I'm so sorry if this is new to you) is surely the "bushes in Super Mario Bros. are simply green-colored ...
The week has started Shit’s bad an’ no foolin’ :(
Do yall think I could get 2k for my Steam profile? Absolute lowest I could go is
Hulk has no time for games
Wait, so the auto run feature in Switch games is actually just a defect? I was wondering why the auto run only worked in two
I want to believe in a future where theres a Darkstalkers game that looks as good as Guilty Gear

There is nothing I hate more than driving at night while its raining
My friend sold his Switch (which is lame because now we can’t play games), but he also just gave me his Nintendo account to put on my console, so now I have Octopath, NSMBU Deluxe, The Messenger, Onimusha, and a bunch of other games!!!
