Hello! I just discovered this sitting in my drafts area from way back in November 2017. It's not as fully complete as I want it to be, but it's still something I'm pretty passionate about. I'll get right to it: this'll be about Grand T...

I don't want to be a naysayer but there simply isn't enough software momentum behind the Switch at present. All that can be hoped for at this stage is that E3 2017 brings a slew of ports from some of the software giants shown in Ninten...

So given I'm off work for the Christmas holiday at present I thought it was high time to indulge in a large single-player game that I don't always get chance to during the rest of the year.  Only this time I thought I'd do write-u...

Nintendo today announced a major component of their next generation machine, currently codenamed NX: a HD DVD drive.  In an unprecedented move, it will allow consumers the freedom to play DVD discs for the first time on a Nintendo...

I'm currently having a blast with the one and only Super Mario 64 via Wii Virtual Console and having even more of a blast because my three-and-a-half year old son and I are running around Bomb-omb Battlefield together collecting all manner ...

Let's just forget about all that Instincts, Predator, Evolution business for a moment and salute the upcoming release of Far Cry Primal. It's good to see a company that, yes, regularly releases new versions of their games but no, doesn't ov...

After several years of reading (and loving) games journalism I still cannot fathom how entire development bonus payments can be decided on the whimsical nature of a metascore average.  Thus, to illustrate this foolishness, and pon...

Can you even see your reflection in the edge of a mirror? 1/1/16 I love DICE.  I really do.  I've owned Battlefield 2 on PC and failed spectacularly at it; I even played the slightly odd/before its time incarnation of Batt...

Early in the morning.  No Fallout 4. No Just Cause 3. No Star Wars: Battlefront. Not even a whiff of Rainbow Six Siege. Nor any poor ports of any other current blockbusters. What's a last-gen action gamer to do this Christmas aside fr...

(Sunday  13/12/15 I've managed to hide this for a few days because of my technical ineptitude and because I keep proof-reading and faffing around with it - so sorry and thank you for the comments!) Minor SPECTRE spoilers within a...

First impressions of MGSV are wholly positive.  The game, viewed within the context of its own series, has evolved.  The title screen features a grim-looking Snake/(Boss) looking out at you, so different to the weary salutes of Old Snake in...

Is Grand Theft Auto Online worth it? I, for one, do not believe so. To me, it seems like the normally glorious, jam-packed single-player mode Rockstar provides once every three or so years has had, to mangle a phrase, a little too much cosm...

It's always strangely satisfying and yet utterly compelling to read countless articles listing the successes, failures and obscurities of a particular console generation.  The joy lies in recognising where you've had the same experiences as...

This evening has been a heady rush for me in signing up to Destructoid.  I have spent the last three days, more or less, reading reviews for Call of Duty: Ghosts.  I am reeling from recent news that Blockbuster (UK) have been put into admin...
