Dishonored is the sort of game that begs to be played multiple times. The first playthrough acts as an introduction to the game and the world it exists in. As you revisit the game the second, third, fourth time, the richness of the world&rs...

#PROCJAM 2014 was one of many game jams that took place last year. The idea of a game jam is to challenge people to make a short game abiding to a given theme, a strict timeline forcing them to produce, as best as they can, a (often ra...

Assassin's Creed I is my favorite game in the series. There, I said it. Before you leave in horror, I agree, it isn't the best game in the series. That honor likely goes to II or Brotherhood, but nonetheless, for me, Assassin's Creed is my ...

Hmm...I just realised that the title seems excessively profession-of-love-y. Nevertheless, I shan’t hide this secret from the world. I do love Catherine, and believe it or not, it is my favorite game of all time. I’m well aware that no one...

It seems I'm destined to find robots that remotely look like Mr. Destructoid. In this case, though, it looks exactly (only full body Dtoid robot I could find) the same.

After being convinced by Tony Ponce, who said that there is no better time to buy a console than at the tail end of a generation (cheap price, firmware fixed, 7 years of exclusives), I decided to finally dish out the money and have a Statio...

In no particular order. First and foremost, the game not only allows, but encourages creativity and experimentation. You can go about problems however which way you like, and after the first few levels, once all the basic mechanics have b...

Kentucky Route Zero, for those of you that don’t know, is an allusive and weirdly magical 5-part episodic adventure game. Act II, in theme with the game’s tone, has been secretly released overnight, with no press release or official launch ...

A moment ago I’d been enthralled by this place, fascinated by how different and fresh it was, hanging on every word of these people’s everyday lives. When I realized my next task was to ram a piece of metal into eight different people unt...

Recently, Warren Spector gave a talk at DICE 2013 that was largely about his personal tastes in games and how it has changed as he has gotten older and how he has less time to do the kind of things he did when he was in his 20s. The contr...

“Antichamber is a psychological exploration puzzle game set within an Escher-like world. It’s a world where the rules don’t follow the same physical rules as other games would or our own world would.” -Alexander...

[Minor spoilers, specifically the first paragraph after the third picture.] I recently finished playing Assassin's Creed III, so I thought I would write about my impressions of the game. Please note that this isn't a review per se, but rat...

[Major spoilers for all episodes of the Walking Dead] People always go on about the storytelling ability of adventure games, that they are loved so much for their capabilities to tell wonderful stories and present deep characters. I neve...

Indie games don't often get heavy marketing. Word of mouth is usually the largest way for Indie games to garner financial success. A game like The Witness deserves and will most likely get such success. This is primarily because it's being ...

So this is what happens when you piss off a Greybeard (in Skyrim). Also, I made this video and I can't embed it. Sorry. Why did Destructoid remove the ability to embed videos? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm9vmyiYjHY Listen to how he sa...

For those of you that don't already know what Mother 3 is, it's a JRPG that was released for the GBA in 2006. It has only ever been released in Japan, but if it is ever released on the 3DS eShop, that'd be the day that I (finally) buy Ninte...

I learned about Winterhold College through a tweet from reverendanthony, saying "Winterhold College is like Hogwarts for adults, yaaaaay". Obviously, I was immediately intrigued. At the time, I spent most of my time in Whiterun, the trading...

Sure, it's a generic robot, but the head looks a lot like the head of Mr. Destructoid.

Digital distribution is awesome, or more specifically, Steam is awesome. In this blog I'm going to talk about some of the advantages and disadvantages of Steam, and also other platforms of digital distribution, such as XBLA or the PS Store....

Having only joined Destructoid in May of this year, I’ve been waiting for a fun monthly musing/blogs wanted topic to write about. This week's topic interested me because to me every game has some extent of freedom - the defining trait of ...

Note: Major spoilers for Bioshock and Mother 3 I felt like getting my thoughts out, so I decided to write a quick c-blog. Some of my arguments might be contradicting what I said prior - the only excuse I can find for that is that I wasn't ...

I recently had the chance to play Jonathon Blow’s award-winning indie game Braid and I was blown away by it. Although Destructoid already posted an extensive review of Braid by Reverend Anthony, Chad Concelmo and the notorious Jim Sterling ...
