[I remember licensed games being the bane of my existence when I was younger. It was like the glut of shovelware that plagues us nowadays, including Early Access games. I couldn't look past a shelf without seeing some movie tie-in game. Sin...

Last month, I had my first vacation since May of last year. It only lasted for 20 days, but I finally had all day to myself. I even took a pause from Destructoid and the monthly recaps thanks to some great help by Sharukurusu who is actual...

Personally, I think the quality of Mario levels, now that we live in a Super Mario Maker 2 world, has gone up considerably. There are some cool, high-stress runners, some comically-themed levels, and some fun, puzzle-oriented levels. The De...

Right now in the fighting game scene, we're between releases. Older games have been receiving new DLC - like GT Goku arriving in Dragonball FighterZ, Blazblue Crosstag Battle getting Arcana Heart characters, while new titles,...

Hey everyone, Perro here! It's been nearly three months since the last entry for Comments of the Week, so please forgive us for the late start to 2019! It's already three months into the new year, and with each passing week we are fully awa...

Hideaki Itsuno promised that Devil May Cry 5, the just-released fifth game in the main Devil May Cry series, would "exceed all expectations." I think many would agree that it didn't just exceed all expectations, it damn well Max-Acted strai...

With Fortnite basically dominating the battle royale for so long and overshadowing most competition, I was convinced it'd only go down alongside the battle royale genre as a whole. But Apex Legends garnering 25 million p...

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...

[It may be Christmas Day, but that doesn't mean it's too late to request a belated holiday card! Get yer orders in. Digital cards should be incoming sometime today!] It's that time of year again! No, not the time of year where Uncle Terry g...

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...

With over 70 characters to play now in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, just simply finding a character can be daunting. No, seriously, I have to remind myself the roster is in chronological release order, because it's hard to parse all tha...

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...

Last week, we asked you guys what you were holding out on buying for Black Friday. This week, we want to know what you actually pulled the trigger on. Most years I go absolutely HAM and gobble up every good deal in sight. I think my high po...

I think in essence, before hitting the dusty trail of this topic, some amount of acceptance of business practices is inevitable. However, I think it was an interesting juxtaposition of the weeks leading up to Red Dead Redemption 2's release...

[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...

With the spookiness of October past us, it's time for Extra-Life's international game day! While Extra-Life never limits when people can help raise money for children's hospitals by streaming games, November 3rd is the often touted game day...

[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...

Hey, folks. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! I hope my fellow canucks are enjoying their turkey day, as I had to unfortunately cancel my long weekend plans. Ended up getting a cold or something again. BUT! That just means I finally get a long ...

Have you ever asked yourself how YouTubers come up with their intros? Or why most of them can't seem to see how unnatural and lame their intros are? Well, I was just about to start another recap with "Hi, Salador here." Ugh. I didn't even ...

Haldo! I’m Zalno! You might know me! If this is your first time reading the C-Blog recaps, this is where we recap all the blogs the Destructoid community wrote during that week. We love to celebrate everything the community does. Hec...

If you are reading one of these "Recap" blogs for the first time, then you are probably new to Dtoid, or just unaware of the Community Blogging scene that is part and parcel of this site. The Community Blogs, or C-Blogs for short, have alw...

The new Spider-Man game on the PlayStation 4 is the latest Spider-Man game to come in what, four or five years? The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was the last Spider-Man focused console game I could find before years of Marvel ensemble games like th...

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...

Living with my in-laws for summer means joining them as they go to the city's public pool for a cool swim during these hot, Central Californian heat waves. I've helped teach them how to swim because before they usually just enjoy the shallo...
