Many months ago when I saw/read about the Japanese getting a Persona 3 "expansion" game, I was green with envy. As great as Persona 3's ending was, it had one of those typical "Vague" Japanese endings where you have no clue what could have ...

So you may wonder what would be so great about buying the SimCity Box that is coming out? I mean, it contains all the previous SimCity games you most likely played (or tried to play) and the less enjoyable SimCity Societies. So why on e...

Hilarity ensues when little sister stays out late to meet a guy she met on MySpace and her brother is there to capture the drama. Note: Yes I know there is a lack of substance here but I couldn't help it?

This doesn't make a good game This thought came upon me when I just got done beating Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (which for some reason the last missions is 15x harder than any other mission in the game). I am sitting on the train, quic...

Command Keen is on my side on this one... It is hard for me to do so but even I will admit that console gaming is at this moment a much stronger platform than the PC. Many companies are switching from developing on PCs to Consoles and mo...

I remember a time when I was able to "play the hell out of a game". For example, not only did I get all the endings in Chrono Trigger but I played the game til I maxed out everyones Speed, Magic, and Power with the proper tabs. I would pl...

There are many reasons to hate EA. They tend to destroy everything and anything that is good in the video game world and just leave it to die like some mule that has done its service and has no more work to do. During its feeding frenzy o...

I have noticed over time that there is a lack of RTS games being played as a community here on Destructoid. There of course is plenty of FPS action going on all platforms and of recent there is Brawl and DS games being enjoyed by many here...

Now before I start this review I am going to mention one thing. I refer to soccer as football. I do this not only out of respect for the sport but also it makes more sense to call a sport you play with your feet football whereas the Ame...

The year was 1991, I was a 9 year old Tragic Hero looking for a new computer game to play. I had already beaten Kings Quest 3 and 4 and I had just completed Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. So now I was without any games to play on my ...

So after looking over the entries many times over here at work I have decided on a winner. Before I reveal said winner though I would like to thank everyone who entered the Tragic Hero contest. I knew that the contest wouldn't be too ea...

Classic Upright Citizens Brigade Today is the last day to submit an entry for the Tragic Hero contest. Further in depth rules can be seen here but mainly the contest is to pick your favorite video game Tragic Hero and write about him or...

Note: Here be a long post During the early days of PC gaming, two companies competed and dominated the compettion when it came to the adventure gaming genre. Both brought new, innovative ways to play PC games and both brought truly great...

As much fun as Oedipus sans the incest and stabbing of the eyes For those of you who might have missed it on Friday, there is the "Tragic Hero" contest going on where the winner gets a free game of their choosing from the steam store. Al...

In light of recent events, I have inherited a pretty decent sum of money in the form of a refund check from my college. This could not have come at a better time seeing as how I owe the state of IL $350 in tollway fines, have some ugly cre...

This is in honor of the fact that because of the snow that hit I won't have to go to class this evening and give my half ass speech on the peloponesian war that I did not prepare for. HORRAY!

Over my lifetime of gaming I have participated in many MMORPGS: Ultima Online, Everquest, City of Heroes, Lineage 2, and WoW. After playing all of these MMORPGs one tends to grind themselves out (if you're like me at least) and the simple...

Over the years Dynasty Warriors 6 has somewhat earned a bad reputation for itself. After many years of the same hack and slash and sub par graphics, many gamers have dubbed this franchise as "boring" and "uninspiring". It almost seemed ...

I've tried my best from refraining from discussing my disdain and disappointment with the news of the upcoming game play features in Fallout 3. I've tried to overlook all the changes that Bethesda has implemented and the old ones elimina...

So like most people I have been playing the hell out of Audiosurf. There is something strangely addicting about playing your own tracks over and over and trying to get the high score, unlike something like Guitar Hero where you force yours...

I remember when I got my SNES in the early 90s my parents bought me Street Fighter 2 Turbo along with it (what was even cooler was that I didn't tell them to). As I played as the months went by I got bored of the simplicity of the 4 star...

So here I am again, with the handful of the rest of you who are unfortunate enough to have to work on wednesday. And why is it when your boss has a shitty memory and you do what he or she tells you to do you apparently don't listen well be...

It’s unfortunate that with the advent of *sigh* online gaming that not a lot of these go on anymore. LAN parties were the ultimate way to play games with friends. Nothing beat bringing over your gaming PC and comparing your specs with you...

History would like to tell us that John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln on the Night of April 14th, 1865 but here is what really happened: I apoligize if this was too low brow for most of you but I thought it was funny.

Just thought I would wish you all out there a Happy Valentines day. For those of you who have a significant other hopefully they had the common decency to skip out on the chalk flavored hearts and stuffed animals and went straight to the v...

Carmageddon, it doesn't get a whole lot more violent than that. Hell even in No More Heroes you have a reason to kill and are pretty much killing "evil" people. In Carmageddon though, vehicular manslaughter is in the game not only for f...

Not the greatest Diablo clone to be created, Vampires The Masquerade: Redemption was quite the enjoyable game when it came out. Despite early bugs, it has good gameplay, a better than average story, and some good graphics and animations...

I am not sure when it happened or how it happened but somewhere along the lines someone "goofed" up. When I grew up playing video games, Sandbox games basically contained one specific genre. The genre that defined Sandbox Games were your ...

Here I am stuck at work on another Saturday. *sigh* I really need a new job. You know it is a boring day when you search for old people fighting on Youtube: And why not add some Dwarven Cage Fighting: Anyone notice that the cag...

I was parusing YTMND like I usually do and I stumbled across this diddy. And of course I thought it was so comical that I would share it with all of you. Is there any better way to cure boredom at work than with YTMND? 60 Second Superbo...
