Retroid is recording our sixth episode tonight, and for this one we'll be taking a look back at the Mega Man/Rockman franchise. There have been nearly 100 games tied to Mega Man, so there's a lot to cover! Fortunately, I'll be joined by som...

San Diego Comic-Con is heating up in the lead in to the big weekend with some trailer tapas to hold us over until the main course of the big panels. This teaser trailer for Pacific Rim: Uprising may be a bit light on any story elemen...

The cast of playable mecha in Gundam Versus is pretty damn extensive. Covering the revealed series thus far, when the game launches this fall, it will come with 94 different characters to select from. That must be hell for balancing, but it...

I'll spare you the sermon on the wonders and shortcomings of virtual reality this time. Robo Recall lets you beat robots to death with their own arms to an '80s soundtrack. It also happens to be a touch-based VR game that you need expensive...

Overwatch's newest member Orisa hit Blizzard's public test realm earlier this morning. I've been testing out the bot, and it seems like she'll be a great addition to the team. Read on and I'll go over her loadout and abilities.

For some time now, it has seemed unlikely that Project Giant Robot would ever see the light of day. Were any of you keeping hope alive for the clumsy robot brawler? You can abruptly stop that now. Nintendo has confirmed to Polygon that the ...

The lobby of the San Francisco Hilton was congested as 9 to 5ers met over cocktails, conversed, laughed, and routinely checked their smartphones looking for a better time than the one they were currently having. Well off my normal path, I s...

Tekhartha Zenyatta (Zenyatta or Zen for short) is one of the more unique characters in Overwatch, an enlightened Buddhist priest in the body of an android. I've written before that he reminds me of the character Lobsang in The Long Earth&nb...

I couldn't have been less interested in RIGS when it was announced along with the PlayStation VR. It sounded like the off-brand Gobots version of Sony's take on mechs, but as I always say, I'm willing to give anything a fair ...

Haydee, if you haven't heard, is the ass-to-face indie puzzler that's been turning heads all week for its glorious robottocks(tm) and otherwise awful, unintuitive, punishing gameplay that roguelike-lovers crave. Former Destructoid editor a...

Microsoft didn't dedicate a long section of its E3 2016 press conference to Keiji Inafune's newest new joint ReCore, but it did get a trailer that made quite a splash. That's mostly because the trailer itself is quite splashy. Waterco...

I played a lot of Fallout 4 last year. Too much, too quickly, in retrospect. It was one of those games I loved in the moment, but whenever I stopped to think about the bigger picture, I couldn't get away from the nagging feeling that it was...

Well, bugger. That’s me out of a job. Some of you may remember a while ago when UK editor Laura and I played a fair amount of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes on YouTube. We became a well-oiled machine, adopting new strategies to def...

Grow Home released on PC earlier this year, and it sort of took us by surprise. This is an Ubisoft game? The publisher currently best known for squirting out iteration after iteration of Assassin's Creed is doing a game about a robot g...

With over 1,000 puzzle pieces available for the Nintendo 3DS' StreetPass Puzzle Swap game, it takes a considerable amount of time to collect them all. Now one man has invented a robot to automate the process of pressing A multipl...

Terminator: Genisys opened this past weekend to a tepid box office reception and groaning reviews. But did anyone really expect anything else? Terminator 3 and Salvation more than burned up the credit earned by the original (truly excellent...

This is how it starts, I fucking know it. First it’s cute little tricks like playing football. Then it’s some actually kind of impressive stuff like this AI who has managed to learn and beat a Mario level in 34 tries. Then it&rs...

I never got much into my high school's favorite rainy-day activity, dodgeball, but it was fun to half participate in, half watch. Our gym teacher would roll out carts full of fluffy, foamy, definitely-not-rubber balls and about twenty othe...

5734L3R (pronounced Stealer), the intriguing post-apocalyptic robotic future title that seemed to disappear as quickly as it had arrived is back, perhaps; or at least this shiny new teaser trailer for it seems to indicate it is for no...

SteamWorld Dig is hitting the Wii U on August 28th, and if you happen to live in the EU, AUS, or NZ regions, you'll get a 25% off discount for owning the 3DS version. But wait -- why isn't this cross-buy discount available in North Ame...

This isn’t the first rodeo for SteamWorld Dig -- the cute mining adventure game first arrived last year on the 3DS eshop, followed by a Steam release. Now it’s making a comeback to the Wii U this week on August 28, along the way...

Supercharged Robot Vulkaiser is pretty much love at first sight. A shoot-'em-up inspired by the cheesy animes of yesteryear, Vulkaiser takes place in an alternate 1977, where a bunch of kids in bizarre outfits and a giant robot are all tha...

Hey everybody! Here's the second episode of Farts 'N' Crafts, the show where I draw pictures of stuff related to what's going on in gaming. Today, there's a lot of buzz about a new Batman game from Rocksteady, and Titanfall continues to be...

Hey, did you see those Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes track jackets and sneakers that Puma's making? They're pretty cool, but a franchise with such awesome character and mechanical designs really deserves more creative merchandising. Her...

Oh I tell you, it brings a small ray of sunshine to my old and tired heart to load up Steam and see an old favorite of mine has been added to the service. Today is another one of those days as the original Descent has been made available on...
