If you haven't played 2015's Her Story yet and really enjoy the idea of a modern FMV adventure game, you probably should get on that: it's $10 on Steam and worth an afternoon (or several). It's better than the FMV board game from Community,...

If you burned out on Pokemon Go (or never started), there's a new Pokemon mobile game coming to town very soon: Masters. The gist is you'll be syncing Pokemon up with trainers for battles and friendship, as the game takes a decide...

Mega Man X DiVE is proceeding as planned. Despite the trepidation with fans all over the world, the next Mega Man X game is officially a mobile joint, with an "all-stars" tint and a sort of meta-narrative that involves you revisiting "...

Reed, Sue, Johnny, Ben. It's good to have you all back in the fold. I mean the 2000s-era Tim Story films didn't do you any favors with the public, and the 2015 project, "FANT4STIC," might be the worst superhero movie ever made. And yes, I r...

Whether you've stuck with Pokémon Go since the beginning or you've long since dropped off, it can be interesting to see where the game is at from time to time. This week, The Pokémon Company touted a new milestone that helps i...

We'll always have the original Plants vs. Zombies. I'm just putting that out there now. This week, PopCap and EA began testing Plants vs. Zombies 3 with a pre-alpha version available to Android users. You'll need at least a Galaxy S7 runnin...

The more I heard about Dr. Mario World the more I wanted in. The idea of multiple characters from the Mario-verse donning doctor outfits beyond the scope of just Mario and Luigi was a sight to behold: I mean Bowser in a coat helping cu...

Minecraft Earth is another intriguing AR game that could make waves in the mobile market, similar to what Pokemon Go did a few years back. It has a similar track, as it's going to be free-to-play and will arrive on iOS and Android, but the ...

The Dota Auto Chess mod kicked off at the beginning of 2019, and started a trend in the process. After reaching an apex of eight million players over a scant few months, the "auto-battler" genre was born, and man did publishers ru...

Tetris 99 gave Nintendo Switch owners the first tantalizing taste of Tetris imagined as a battle royale, and before long, mobile players will also be able to duke it out in block-slinging survival skirmishes. The first in a new line of upco...

Elder Scrolls: Legends is still laying down expansions, and they've been pretty great. The next one is the Khajiit-centric (!) Moons of Elsweyr, which is arriving later this month and sort of meshes Voltron style with the Elder Scrolls...

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius arrived back in 2015 in Japan and in 2016 in the west, and has been firing on all cylinders since then on mobile platforms. It's been firing so brightly that they decided to green light a spinoff: War of the Visi...

Today during Minecraft's 10th anniversary, Microsoft unveiled the new "top secret" project: Minecraft Earth. It's that AR (augmented reality) concept we heard about recently, much in the same vein as Pokemon Go, Garfield Go (haha), and what...

I thought I was done with Minecraft for good, but an augmented-reality mobile game could be the precise thing to pull me back in after all these years. Earlier today, Microsoft began teasing Minecraft AR with the promise that more details w...

I promised the editing staff here at Destructoid that I would write this piece as a professional journalist simply trying to cover industry news for a slow Sunday. Little did they know I had my fingers crossed behind my back. That means it ...

In late 2018, 20th Century Fox trademarked "Alien: Blackout," giving people hope that there was a proper sequel to Alien: Isolation on the way. That, uhh, didn't turn out to be the case. Alien: Blackout is a mobile game that laun...
