From the very moment I began at the title screen, this game would echo questions through my mind. I'd question the mental construct of "life or hometown"? The dilemma of who is “best girl” and if love can truly bloom on the wet-...

There hasn't been a game as popular as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in quite some time. The indie darling, which is still in Early Access, has hit a new milestone of 10 million copies sold. I think at this point, the development team can d...

During a Gamescom keynote presentation, Brenden Greene shared a quick look at PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' upcoming desert map. According to Greene, the image reflects the level's work-in-progress status, but if you ask me, it seems like ...

At Gamescom 2017, Nintendo has announced free new content for Splatoon 2 including the Bubble Blaster weapon, a pirate ship-themed level called "Manta Maria," and a new Salmon Run level titled "Lost Outpost." Pirates are the best. I l...

And I don't just mean the Assassin's Creed-esque face! Brett and I partnered up for a few rounds of first-person mode, and the end result felt like a mix between a walking sim as we combed over houses and survival horror as the weather took...

Three's company, but four's a squad in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. At least that's how it typically goes when the D-Team gets together. This time around, Steven "Lipovka Lover" Hansen ditched Brett, Jordan, and me in favor of drinking te...

This week Bandai Namco teased a new game using the name Projekt #1514. That game has turned out to be Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet, as the Chinese trailer leaked online hours ahead of the official announcement. Developed by Dimps, Fatal...

Hot off the heels of the recent mayonnaise vs ketchup (semper fidelis mayonnaise) Splatfest, Nintendo of Europe has announced the theme for the Splatfest scheduled for September 1st through 3rd. That weekend you'll have to choose whether yo...

Volition took Saints Row in such a nuttier direction than anyone could have predicted. But after ruling Stilwater, taking out the military in Steelport, being trapped in a virtual world and fighting aliens, and literally going to Hell, sure...

Resident Evil: Revelations 1 and 2 have appeared on tons of consoles, especially the first, and now they headed to the Nintendo Switch in "late 2017" according to Capcom. They will release together as the Resident ...

[Update: Japan's match was Rock versus Pop, and Rock won the competition.] I may have missed out on the original Splatoon, but I enjoyed seeing Destructoid's people and my friends express their love of the series. As Splatoon 2's first...

Is it weird I'm not surprised School Girl/Zombie Hunter is coming to North America late 2017? To be honest I thought it already did, but then the announcement at the Anime Expo in LA reminded me that oh yeah these sorts of things don't...

With Splatoon 2 being only a few weeks away, Nintendo has to build hype somehow. What better way than to host one of their patented Directs? Despite showing up in a stream dedicated to ARMS, Splatoon 2 has not yet received its own showcase....

The Danganronpa series has such an expansive narrative, it's spread itself across multiple games, anime, and short stories. By its very nature of spreading itself out so thin, some of the side projects just aren't going to mean as much in t...

I've got to be honest with you all here. I may have extensive experience with the Senran Kagura series since I'm addicted to Dynasty Warriors-like hack and slash games, but I've never fully gelled with its, uh, packaging. I've got a preferr...

I've been hooked to Volition's Saints Row series ever since it underwent a major tonal reboot with Saints Row: The Third. The series may have been a victim of diminishing returns as of late -- you can only jump over the proverbial shar...

I ended up really liking Uncharted 4: A Thief's End because of its story. The wild action setpieces were well paced and there were plenty of smaller, quieter moments that resonated. Everything felt in service to a story about people and the...

Crackdown 3 was a big Microsoft reveal seemingly ages ago with a focus on how "cloud computing" was going to make the game very, uh, cloudy, I guess. Anyways it showed back up at Microsoft's E3 presser, as introduced by Terry Crews, and fi...

Let's not beat around the bush: I like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. I like it quite a lot. In fact, I feel a little bit of gratitude towards it, or more accurately, towards Bluehole and Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene for coming up with it...
