[Boy, it's been a while! So here I am, rolling through the cblogs, looking to catch up, when the first of many blogs I enjoyed reading was the suggestion to try a series in a genre I don't normally play except for kart-racing shenanigans. I...

Every now and then, when a game’s natural progress and in-game collectibles edge me towards the game’s Platinum trophy, I am roped back into the trophy hunting game. Every time, I come to regret it, knowing that I the hunt is s...

Before this year’s E3 conference, there were a bunch of major leaks of the announcements expected in the show. Particularly affected was Bandai Namco who had all of its surprise announcements revealed. The effectiveness of these leak...

As a testament to how far removed I am from the contemporary gaming news hype trends, I had no idea about how Sekiro inspired an intense discussion on the nature of difficulty in video games and questions of accessibility and inclusion, un...

[Lord Spencer brings us up to speed on the past month of Community blogs as well as lays out the state of the community blogging scene. There's something here for everyone, so sit back and enjoy some great blogs from the wonderful community...

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...

[Some people can just cruise through video games like nothing matters, lapping up all the knowledge and skill in various titles like so much potent potables. The rest of us need people like Fivefinger Delta to tell us how to tie our shoes a...

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...

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...

[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...

[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...

[For this month's Bloggers Wanted prompt, Plaguemaniac3434 (aka Gamemaniac3434 during non-spooky seasons) writes about something pretty delightful and gross. With the recent announcement that Resident Evil 4 is coming to Switch, this s...

[Adzuken gave the Destructoid community the chance to create a list of hypothetical robot masters for the next Mega Man entry, and the results are pretty damn fun. I'm especially enamored with Sandwich Man, due to their willingness to shine...

[With all the mini consoles being announced, both official and unofficial, it's fascinating to hear about what was essentially the NES in Japan, except not really. But don't listen to me prattle on about what the Famicom Disk System was or ...

[Dragon's Dogma has always been the game that seems like it would be up my alley but I always play its contemporary counter-part. So really it should be interesting to see someone else talk and recommend it. ~Marcel Hoang] Greetings my fell...

[I have a special place in my heart for the  Dead Or Alive series, and I see I'm not the only one to have eyes for the ladies of this surprisingly long-running fighting game series, featuring beautiful people bashing each other in the ...

Hey kids and kiddos, it’s Smash time, and that means it’s Dr. Mel time, and that means I’m gonna write some stuff for this website. I used to do this more frequently, but I’m a busy boy! Anyway, we got to see five ne...

Of the many Nintendo franchises on hold, none seem to have as much history and as much reason to be made again other than the Advance Wars series. First, let us note that calling it the Advance Wars series is an inaccuracy; it should be mor...

[When I put out last month's Blogger's Wanted prompt, I thought we'd try something a little different and talk about all the games we take down fascist regimes in and the fun ways we may obliterate Nazis and those similar to them. I didn't ...

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...

[Have you ever played a game and thought to yourself, "Man, this is a fantastic allegory for budding sexuality and what it means to be true to yourself?" Me neither, but that's why we have fantastic blogs from Adzuken, who gives us scrumpti...

[We Community Managers usually like to add a witty intro to promoted community blogs to get readers in the right mood. Unfortunately, any attempt at outwitting The Actual Charlton Heston's NieR: Automata exposé would be in vain....

[Despite being one of the best selling series in gaming history, FIFA and other football games tend to get the snub from a good portion of video game fans. Seeing that we are right in the middle of the World Cup right now, this is a nice lo...
