When giving gifts at Christmas, it is the thought that counts. Especially in the time of trophies and achievements, unwrapping a mediocre game from a well-meaning great-aunt who asked the nice shop assistant for recommendations is not a big...

I've seen some weird custom creations when it comes to rhythm games, but this one really made me smile. Found on expnand banana's YouTube, this custom song for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock deals with the classic skit featuring ...

At the beginning of each year, for the last two years or so, I've searched the web and Wikipedia looking for upcoming game anniversaries the Destructoid staff could write articles about and maybe inspire some great discussion. This year's l...

In a bizarre turn of events, I'm writing about new Simpsons in 2017. You know, that once-great show that ended after Season 9? Some say that it actually continued past then, and into Season 29, which supposedly premiered this week. In ...

It's a good time to be a Warriors/Musou fan. For us in the west, we just got our hands on Berserk and the Band of the Hawk, which according to Chris is pretty darn good. Later this month, our friends over in Japan get their first crack...

The Simpsons has been on the air for over 25 years, setting the record for the longest-running scripted show in U.S. television history. The famous family has been pretty much everywhere and done everything in that time, and their occa...

The Simpsons prove that they've already done everything, including inventing one of the best video games of 2015. @MsMinotaur [Twitter]

Silent Hills was a dream game. Specifically, it was my dream game. If you asked me before P.T. crept onto the PSN servers what series I'd most like to see rejuvenated in a bold new way, I would have probably told you Silent Hill. If you ask...

LEGO Dimensions is a game we all know is going to be absolutely huge. It's little, way too expensive LEGO with Disney Infinity glued on to it, and if that doesn’t print money I don’t know what will. Despite that, when it got ann...

The millions of people playing Minecraft on consoles are well acquainted with the default character Steve -- talk about merchandising might! -- but on Wednesday they'll have another option: Alex. "Now, everyone loves Steve -- he's probably ...

Paul Robertson, whose work you might have seen in games like Scott Pilgrim vs. The World or Mercenary Kings or in crazy-ass gifs like this, has teamed up with fellow animator Ivan Dixon and musician Jeremy Dower for a heartfelt pixel-art t...

The Simpsons has finally featured a full-blown Minecraft parody for its opener and yeah, Simpsons, Minecraft is a thing millions of people enjoy. Uh huh. It's worth approximately 30 seconds of your time if you're wondering what the long-ru...

When I first heard that Electronic Arts was suing Zynga over The Ville, a rather blatant ripoff of EA’s The Sims Social, I was pretty excited to see the outcome. After all, there’s nothing worse than a company whose only busines...

Sometimes, a joke is just so simple that you wonder why no one else had done it before. That's what was running through the mind of our old pal Sean Carey when he discovered "Christopher Walkenthroughs" by Game Society Films. The premise i...

It's 'Multiplayer Monday' on Mash Tactics, and King Foom is bringing you double the trouble. Foom will be calling all viewers to join him in Gotham City Imposters on Xbox 360 or PC(depending on viewer majority), and The Simpsons Arcade Game...

Any gamer of a certain age will be able to bore you extensively talking about two particular arcade games: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Simpsons. The classic TMNT game arrived on Xbox Live Arcade years ago, but as with many licensed...

The Simpsons Arcade Game is set to grace Xbox Live Arcade on February 3 -- that's this week! -- and PlayStation Network on February 7. It's free for PlayStation Plus members and a reasonable $9.99 (800 Microsoft Points) for the rest of us. ...

The Simpsons arcade game is considered by many to be a true beat 'em up classic, and while most of that is due to blind nostalgia, it's still a neat little button masher. Sadly, it's never come to consoles, but the Australian Classification...

Electronic Arts had a Wii port of Dead Space 2 game planned, along with a follow up to the utterly awful The Simpsons Game. Both titles have been scrapped in favor of other projects. I'm no analyst, but I'm willing to bet that nothing of va...

[Many video games build upon the concepts and mechanics of their forerunners. Off-Brand Games examines those that draw just a little too much... inspiration.] The Simpsons is an institution. Its relevancy over the years could be charted a...

Izmeth Siddeek of Blue Castle Games recently remarked that he and his team are aiming to pack Dead Rising 2 with up to 6,000 on-screen zombies at a time. Upon first hearing this news, I immediately thought, "YEAH! I can't wait for this...

I apologize for the late announcement on this one, guys -- I've been working on some very special surprises for everyone for December and I completely forgot. Soon enough you'll find out much more about that, but for now, the winners are:&n...

In an almost ironic twist, EA's The Simpsons Game has garnered a lot of press attention through recent controversy after drawing the ire of a company that, well, gains press attention through controversy. Rumors have been flying thick and f...

The gaming biz moves one step closer to becoming an episode of Days of Our Lives with the recent news that EA -- specifically a group of writers on The Simpsons Game -- has fired back with a salvo of verbal hot fire in response to Rockstar'...
