As a sequel to what I see as one of the finest videogames ever made, my expectations for Xenoblade Chronicles X (hereon X) were, perhaps unfairly, astronomical. Regardless of the game itself, I have a great amount of respect for Monoli...

I wonder if the man who, on the UK release of the first Pokémon movie, warned my mother not to enter the theatre had any idea that that was the first of nineteen films. Pokemon has certainly proved itself to have more longevity than it's c...

2015 was a big ol’ year for ol’ Cynric Cyning. Stuff happened. Things changed. A great black shadow blotted out the light of the moon – an evil portend of things to come? Only the weavers of wyrd can say for sure. Well, firstly, I ...

Is there a difference between American and British Shovels? Maybe. But they didn't localise the game properly in that case so my point still stands. Shovel Knight has clearly lied to us all. If we watch trailers of this “acclaimed&rd...

For anyone keeping tabs this blog is actually coming about 6 months late, I had said I would write it for the “Gush about something for Valentine’s Day” thing, but well, I guess something came up at the time and it was nev...

Why hello there, most of you will have never read anything by me, if you have (and remember) then thanks, it actually does mean quite a lot to me, but you see it seems I and others like me are no longer welcome in the Destructoid community ...

After taking a break for a few months while I finished off university and decided where I was going next (most likely getting a job to fund a part-time MA in Museum studies if anyone was wondering) I’ve been looking for an opportunity...

Oh dear.

I was reading Riobux’s blog on review scores and thought I’d give my thoughts on the whole debacle. Before I start, however, I would like to point out that I’m not a games journalist, nor do have any interest in becom...

Ys book I & II for the Turbografx16 is one of my all-time favourite games, despite the fact that it isn�t really all that good. It�s ugly, not particularly well made and nor is its gameplay much fun, and yet, whenever I play it I alway...

I've been frequenting this fine website for a while now, and have recently decided to take the plunge and create content on the community blogs. However this has came with the realisation that I am only worth the amount of traffic that...

I very rarely actually keep up to date with new games except for a few of my favourite franchises; the other games fall to the way side and are picked up a year or two later. This makes compiling a relevant and up to date top 10 pretty...

Ha! I was really talking Animal Crossing!  Is anyone excited about the inevitable console outing for Animal crossing this generation? No? Just me then? OK. Well the entry which held my attention for the least amount of time, to th...
