[ZombieCorps takes over the reins to a beloved community standard in art and expression, Destructoid Draws! From Smash characters to indie games, the community is a wealth of artistic expression just waiting to be converted to DeviantArt So...

[It's easy to laugh off a title like Just Dance when there are a lot of other games to play, but Boxman felt he absolutely needed the exercise. And really, with a goal of some exercise when the fail state is absolutely no exercise, Just Dan...

Super Smash Bros. is one of these special series that means something different to everyone. For some, the appeal comes from the tactical mind games of high-level play. Single-player people also found something to love in Brawl's Subspace E...

[The Goku Effect is something that may be slowly lost to time. As more and more games begin to favor a scaling challenge, there's something nostalgic about the choice to go back to the beginning and stomp all the trash mobs that used to giv...

Hello, everybody! It's your old pal GoofierBrute here to give you some COTW cheer to all the good boys and girls here.....and those of you who've been naughty too. Anyway, anyone got any major plans for the holidays? I'm spending mine at my...

Hey there folks. ooktar here again for another edition of Comments of the Week. I hope you Dtoiders have been staying warm cause it's been cold as fuck outside. Now, though, you have a reason to stay inside for a bit and read. So warm up so...

Hey everyone! Long time, no posting eh? Well it's probably time we started changing that. In recent weeks, probably months now, Comments of the Week has been getting a memory wipe. Well that's not entirely true, we've kept all of the import...

[Soulbow's ongoing inside joke is that he likes Rainbow Six Siege and some of the community sandbag his favorite game. So this is me officially breaking the sandbag, if at least for just a day. Because here, he describes a typical game so w...

[On this, the most holiest of holidays, I think we all need a good reminder that you can never really eat too much candy. Or take your costume too far. How many people must continue to suffer until we learn our lesson? The Actual Charlton H...

[For this month's Bloggers Wanted prompt, Plaguemaniac3434 (aka Gamemaniac3434 during non-spooky seasons) writes about something pretty delightful and gross. With the recent announcement that Resident Evil 4 is coming to Switch, this s...

[Adzuken gave the Destructoid community the chance to create a list of hypothetical robot masters for the next Mega Man entry, and the results are pretty damn fun. I'm especially enamored with Sandwich Man, due to their willingness to shine...

[With all the mini consoles being announced, both official and unofficial, it's fascinating to hear about what was essentially the NES in Japan, except not really. But don't listen to me prattle on about what the Famicom Disk System was or ...

[Dragon's Dogma has always been the game that seems like it would be up my alley but I always play its contemporary counter-part. So really it should be interesting to see someone else talk and recommend it. ~Marcel Hoang] Greetings my fell...

[I have a special place in my heart for the  Dead Or Alive series, and I see I'm not the only one to have eyes for the ladies of this surprisingly long-running fighting game series, featuring beautiful people bashing each other in the ...

Hey kids and kiddos, it’s Smash time, and that means it’s Dr. Mel time, and that means I’m gonna write some stuff for this website. I used to do this more frequently, but I’m a busy boy! Anyway, we got to see five ne...

Of the many Nintendo franchises on hold, none seem to have as much history and as much reason to be made again other than the Advance Wars series. First, let us note that calling it the Advance Wars series is an inaccuracy; it should be mor...

According to my doctor, since I have lost my job I have been working my body too hard and am now suffering the consequences: tonsillitis and a head cold, as well as consistent fatigue, has done a real number on me over the past two days. My...

[Have you ever played a game and thought to yourself, "Man, this is a fantastic allegory for budding sexuality and what it means to be true to yourself?" Me neither, but that's why we have fantastic blogs from Adzuken, who gives us scrumpti...

[We Community Managers usually like to add a witty intro to promoted community blogs to get readers in the right mood. Unfortunately, any attempt at outwitting The Actual Charlton Heston's NieR: Automata exposé would be in vain....

[Pandas, nocturnal by nature, are heard, but rarely seen. Truly majestic in their elegance, to see one is to be blessed until the end of one's days....I might be a bit sick right now. The List will continue being updated as long as there i...

[Despite being one of the best selling series in gaming history, FIFA and other football games tend to get the snub from a good portion of video game fans. Seeing that we are right in the middle of the World Cup right now, this is a nice lo...

Hello everyone, FakePlasticTree here to bring you a special edition of Comments of the Week, centered entirely around the Sony Conference. In a somewhat surprising, and yet not all that surprising, turn of events, Sony done goofed with a he...

What do you know, Microsoft didn't wet the bed this year which makes a nice welcome change to be honest. No, instead this year Microsoft seemed to take all the rightful criticism on board and showcased what we gamers really want to see: Gam...

This is a duo blog, compiled by the hard working pari of Perro and TheLimoMaker.  So that was the EA press conference this year... It was worse than any of could have predicted. No fresh new AAA IP's on display, no mining of old c...

Greetings Space Cowboys! It's PlasticTree back with another edition of Comments of the Week. As we get closer to E3, we are also getting closer to the anniversary of our edition of Comments of the Week. It's been almost a year since I decid...
