My eyes are all melty and I'm dying to dig into Smash Ultimate, but let's take a moment to recap the major video game news from The Game Awards 2018. There were some genuinely surprising moments. For instance: a new Marvel Ultimate Alliance...

Microsoft just wrapped X018, its "celebration of all things Xbox." What went down? A lot of crowd cheering, an on-stage selfie with Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto, and a release date for Crackdown 3. While much of the show's news was Game P...

Not bad, Blizzard. After a slow delayed start and a proverbial passing of the presidential torch from Mike Morhaime to J. Allen Brack, the show got rolling. The Lucio-Oh's cereal and the free Destiny 2 PC news came early on before...

Nintendo might not have dropped a ton of big reveals on us but we did get a whole lot of info on a whole lot of indie games today during their summer Nindies Showcase. Hyper Light Drifter arrives on September 6 (with pre-orders up toda...

Oh hey Nindie Direct, didn't see you in there. No one really did outside of random murmurs from indie studios that they were all mysteriously "showing something off" in the early morning today, which led to speculation of a Nindies Direct s...

Yesterday we summed up E3's conference situation so far, and it was looking really good for Microsoft. Towering over above the others with a 76.6% approval rating (for context, we provided polls at the end of every conference for readers to...

Um, yes? Nintendo brought it. I mean, you have to like Super Smash Bros. as that was the vast majority of the Direct today, but since nearly everyone on the planet has enjoyed that series at one point or another, I think you'll find so...

Let's recap E3 so far. It hasn't even started yet (technically that's tomorrow) but we've seen nearly all of the conferences it has to offer outside of Nintendo. EA went up first and pooched it. They're the lowest rated conference right now...

Sony is on top, approaching 100 million PS4s sold. So it makes total sense that they'd start their event off in a very tiny venue, show one long trailer for one game, then shuffle people into a new venue to show the rest of the event (kinda...

Look, I like ducks. Even if they have an eye-hole slit in their neck. But my soul has quietly screamed at the void these past three years covering the PC Gaming Show, and they took away the only joy I got out of associating with it this yea...

Another E3 conference was a thing! We got to see the leaked Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which was through no fault of Ubisoft that the wind was taken out of its sails, as well as several other reveals. A few of their big projects got some "si...

Square Enix tempered our expectations by saying that their E3 "Showcase" was more like a prepped Direct, and man I'm glad they did that. With hardly any reveals it really was a showcase of trailers, giving us info we pretty much knew alread...

Okay so not bad, Bethesda? I wasn't as excited as I was during moments of Microsoft's explosive conference (where they revealed a lot of cool looking multiplatform games), but for the most part, after a rough start, they picked things up an...

Okay Microsoft, job well done. Xbox boss Phil Spencer promised "50 games" and "15 world reveals" during the conference and he delivered. Not all of them are exclusive, mind, but more projects will be one day as Microsoft just acquired four ...

Oh EA. At least you didn't take the cringe-crown early this year (there's nothing quite as meme-worthy as the past few years), but I think the word of the day is "underwhelming." Now EA did have some great showings for indies and that ...

Another year, another set of April Fools, and this time it was over the weekend and on Easter Sunday. It kind of took the wind out of a lot of people's sails, but a lot of publishers managed to get something out anyway. A few of those "some...

During another short (11-minute) "Nindies Showcase" event, Nintendo gave indie developers a chance to sound off on what they've been working on for the Switch -- which included at least one new game announcement, ports, and release window n...

The Game Awards 2017 may have stretched on far too long, with too many ads, and the show's pacing still wasn't where it needs to be, but you know what? I had an okay time. I'm seeing improvement. Zelda: Breath of the Wild took game of the y...

If you're not caught up on the Yakuza series, but want to jump straight into 6 (for some reason), Sega has uploaded a "Previously on Yakuza" trailer to bring you up to speed. While this trailer actually ends up talking more about Kiryu's fi...

Sony promised a handful of new game reveals and announcements for Paris Games Week, and they delivered. While some were fairly throwaway PSVR projects that are also found on other VR platforms, a few were heavy-hitters, like Spelunky 2 ...

Once again the Destructoid community has decided. We polled all of you at the close of every conference (there were seven this year!), and you voted based on your gut. Now is the time to take a look at the results. The two "most hated" conf...

Did Nintendo do it, along with Ubisoft? Did it 'co-win' (not that it's necessarily possible) E3? We'll see when the poll dust settles later today and we report back tomorrow with our findings. In the meantime, I'm leaning toward giving it t...

Guys, as our own Jordan Devore put it -- "how is Ubisoft winning E3 so far?"! Sony had some great stuff for us tonight. We got Monster Hunter World, but that's also coming to PC and Xbox One. We got a lot of old footage, vague confirmations...

What do you do when you need to inject your conference with more joy? Call Nintendo. Ubisoft led their show today with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and it kind of set the tone. From there we got more footage of known stuff like...

Real talk -- PC Gaming Show is one of my favorite conferences to cover because it's so low key and filled with ads disguised as discussions that I'm able to get some breathing room between announcements. Speaking of ads, an Intel exec got u...
