The sky is the limit for Yacht Club Games. In just a few months they're set to wrap up all of the content they promised in their Shovel Knight Kickstarter campaign, which began crowdfunding operations all the way back in 2013. Whi...

Some shit is gonna go down at Gearbox's PAX East 2019 panel on March 28 in Boston. It has to. Those resolute Borderlands fans will mutiny if they've been strung along yet again, this time way harder than ever before. It started ea...

[Update: In addition to the Switch tease, there's also a nod to Castle Crashers on PS4.] The thought hadn't crossed my mind lately, but yeah, Castle Crashers would rule pretty hard on Nintendo Switch. In a tweet today, The Behemoth seemed t...

Gearbox Software has acknowledged that its PAX East 2019 panel is an opportune time to lift the lid on Borderlands 3 once and for all. The studio shared some rather unsubtle teaser art earlier today. I mean, they used the eyes. You don't u...

Can we really be this close to PAX East? A couple short weeks from now, Nintendo will haul third-party games like Mortal Kombat 11 and assorted indie titles to Boston for a public preview. Here's the lineup: Nintendo Booth #18055 Yoshi's C...

Fans are hungry for the ever-elusive Borderlands 3 to finally show itself, but is PAX East 2019 the right time and place for a full reveal? I could see it going either way. This week, Gearbox Software noted that it's bringing "never-before-...

I've done long-distance relationships before. Twice, actually. The first one didn't work out. The second has (so far at least). But both were hard. Being physically apart from someone you love may be easier today with our current technology...

I have a confession to make. We were very close to passing by this one. In the business of finding gems at a place like PAX South, first impressions are huge. My first impressions for Dicey Dungeons aren't bad by any means, but it didn't ha...

Publisher NIS America has sent out a press release informing folk that they have a "new game" announcement to make on January 17. This could be a "new new" game or, more likely, it's a localisation of a previously released Japanese title."H...

Get your PAX on with this contest for a free three-day pass for PAX South! Hey, what are you doing January 18-20? Other than celebrating my and Panda's birthday, of course. We'll be 32. Twinsies! So, what are you doing apart from that? If y...

Well, it’s that time of year again. PAX Australia -- which will once again be hosted at the Melbourne Convention Centre from October 26-28 -- is just around the corner, and thanks to the lovely folks handling PR for PAX, we’ve g...

The end of PAX West marked the beginning of the busy season for gaming with so many AAA titles hitting the market in such a short amount of time. And while we're all quite focused on the exploits of a friendly neighborhood superhero, I stil...

Sometimes a game's title tells you everything you need to know. Shovel Knight, Battletoads, and even Super Mario Odyssey all give you a pretty good idea of what you're in for before you boot up the game. That isn't the case with D...

I'm not exactly sure how much laughing is appropriate during the demo for The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories. The title, due out for PC and all major consoles this year, is the latest project from avant-garde game designe...

Nintendo has had its ups and downs with indie developers, but the Switch seems to be doing things right. The versatile console has become a lot of people's indie machine of choice, and most games released on the system seem to be performing...

The Quiet Man isn’t a game I’m supposed to preview at PAX. When my appointment was made for Square Enix, it was for Left Alive, a lackluster presentation I’ve already covered. I have no interest in playing The Quiet Man af...

It's safe to say every game developer working today has probably played and enjoyed a Legend of Zelda game at some point in their history. Nintendo's adventure series has been consistently popular for more than 30 years, and it's not h...

I imagine most visitors to PAX West this year don’t even know about NIS America’s suite at the Sheraton in Seattle. In a small room on the second floor of the hotel, a half-dozen NISA employees in “Dood” jerseys dire...

PAX's Indie Megabooth is always worth checking out, and it's frequently one of the most crowded sections of the show floor. You never know exactly what to expect when you visit, but there's almost always something exciting and eye-catching ...

What the Golf? is by far the shortest appointment I had at PAX West. In the overcrowded Indie Megabooth, where a day earlier I meet former Destructoid editor Hamza for the first time, its quirky demo encourages people to watch the utte...

Gris is an absolutely stunning game. The first title from Spanish studio Nomada made a splash in mid-August when it announced a publishing deal with Devolver Digital. Anyone can immediately tell it's a real looker. That beauty isn't j...

Up until this past weekend, ToeJam & Earl was a title I knew nothing about. I've heard of the games over the years, usually from people at GameStop romanticizing the days of their youth spent with it, but for decades it was just a ...

Double Fine is always trying something new. The developer regularly invites employees to pitch their game ideas during its annual Amnesia Fortnight events, internal game jams where no idea is too bizarre. Several well-regarded games have re...

It's rare that I get to cover a game twice in a pre-release state, but I'm happy I had the chance with Ashen, an action-RPG I first played at E3 last year and just saw again last weekend at PAX West. While the first impression was promising...
