I'm not expecting every big PlayStation 4 release to end up with a patch enabling it to take advantage of the PS4 Pro's more powerful hardware, but it is surprising to hear that a hugely successful game like The Witcher 3 -- a title that ha...   read

Over a year ago, I started writing about video games here at Destructoid. Since I had been playing a ton of the pen-and-paper-RPG Dungeons and Dragons, and digital games owed so much to that series, I figured I would attempt to write about ...   read

Nioh would've been such a fitting end-of-the-year game for me. Based on everything we know about Team Ninja's brutal action-RPG and what we've played first-hand, I think it's going to be not only a time sink, but one that requires our darn-...   read

Square Enix showed off more footage of Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age at TGS, and I'm even more pumped than I was initially. XII is one of my least favorite entries in the series, but I'm eager to jump back into the world of Ivalice agai...   read

During a stage event at the Tokyo Games Show, Kadokawa Games announced that the upcoming PlayStation Vita-exclusive dungeon-crawling RPG Demon Gaze II will be receiving a rather significant free DLC expansion after the base game launch...   read

My Nintendo's reward system kind of went into a free fall after the Twilight Princess Picross game dropped (which was day one, haha), but every so often a cool little digital trinket pops in. Today is that day, as a new theme to promot...   read

Square Enix's Tokyo Game Show trailer for Final Fantasy XV delves further into the plot than the last few videos have, so if you're trying to keep that mostly a surprise until November's launch, you may want to hold off. Needless to say, t...   read

[Update: Bandai Namco is now saying that Digimon World: Next Order will be available digitally on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita next year. There will also be a physical PS4 version at retail.] [Update #2: The situation grows weirder! ...   read

Did you watch Dragon Ball Super after Battle of Gods and Revival of Frieza? Did you feel like you were watching the same thing despite the new scenes? That it was fine and all, but you've been there, done that? That's what playing...   read

"The development team wants to make sure the game experience meets the high expectations of fans and the additional time will help them achieve this goal" is all that is said on Ubisoft's blog announcing that the highly-anticipated South Pa...   read

You could say I like Shin Megami Tensei. I mean, the original name (Megami Tensei), essentially translates to "Rebirth of the Goddess," so you know there's going to be religious undertones afoot. A story framed around the battle o...   read

According to Australian developer Nic Watt, who once worked at Electronic Arts, there was a "Pokemon killer" in the works from the publisher during the Nintendo DS era. The revelation comes by way of his appearance on the "GameHugs" podcast...   read

Persona 5 is out in Japan right now, lucky ducks. And Atlus is strutting -- especially with Final Fantasy XV delayed until the end of November. I just wonder if it won't affect Tokyo Game Show attendance. Atlus is working with some major J...   read

Here are two more Ultra Beasts, each exclusive to either Pokemon Sun or Pokemon Moon. The latter gets the sexy bug, UB-02 Beauty. According to the Pokemon website, "Its narrow, graceful legs allow it to accelerate with such explosive speed...   read

Before there were Guardians, there were Iron Lords. I'm more of an Irony Lord myself, but I appreciate any culture that keeps cute huskies around. Destiny: Rise of Iron is out next week, September 20, and brings with it, "a new cinematic s...   read

Digimon World: Next Order saw a Japanese PlayStation Vita release back in March, but from the sound of it, Bandai Namco isn't done with the monster-raising RPG quite yet. A listing for a PlayStation 4 version has shown up on the Brazilian r...   read

Last night during Sony's TGS conference, Square Enix showed off a new NieR: Automata trailer that had part of the crowd pumped, and the other part rolling their eyes that we'd still have no actual release date for this thing. But the l...   read

When I'm reviewing a game, I keep a notebook for any information or anecdotes about it I want to remember when it actually sit down to type the review out. Scribbled on these pages will be names of places and characters so I don't forget, f...   read

While the first Dragon Quest was the first JRPG I ever played, I never really got into the series until over a decade later. In the world of DQ, I was a dedicated tourist -- present, but almost never at launch like I was for Final Fant...   read

It's that time of year -- the time when Nintendo and The Pokemon Company will send us droplets of Pokemon Sun & Moon info every few days or so, and we'll like it! The new tidbit has to do with Rockruff, who is basically assimilatin...   read

Did you know last year the worldwide gaming industry hit $91 billion? Did you also know of that, 24% came from smartphones? $22 billion dollars from the mobile market, a number expected to increase to nearly $27 billion this year ...   read

The Nosulus Rift is real. Much to my chagrin, the Nosulus Rift is real. Ubisoft hoodwinked me into signing a waiver and strapping this abomination to my face. The things I do for this job. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be games jo...   read

It's starting to dawn on me just how excited I am for Pokémon Sun and Moon. In a word: incredibly. There's a lot of new elements to take in for these titles, as evidenced by this latest overview trailer, but for me it always comes b...   read

As far back as I can remember, I wanted to be a lawyer. Maybe it was The Firm, maybe it just called to me -- but that's not what ended up happening, despite earning my pre-law and philosophy degrees and prepping for the LSATs. In High ...   read
