Congratulations Gyrael, I've selected your photoshop and comment as the winner of my little contest! Your fellow Dtoiders gave you a serious run for your money though, I wish I had more copies of the game to give away as this was a hard c...

UPDATE: Gyrael Won! Check it out. I've been a member here on Destructoid for a long time now, ever since December 2006. In my time here, I've made a few friends, won a contest or two and learned a whole lot about video games. Never have...

The controls need to be refined, but I see a definite future in mobile games. Ever since Nokia first embedded snake onto their phones in the late 90s, mobile gaming has been getting bigger every year. These last two years has seen the iPh...

Steam usually has some good stuff for sale every weekend but this weekend really blows me away. First up we have the Crysis Maximum Edition, which is Crysis and Crysis Warhead packaged together for $29.98! Considering $29.98 is the norma...

I found this video on /v/ just now and I absolutely had to share it with the Dtoid community. This scene is from a Jackie Chan movie I've never head of before called "City Hunter" and it's pretty badass. I just love how they accurately us...

Could a game like this sway your vote in 2012? Bonus points if you know what game this picture is spoofing. Video Games as a medium are maturing every day, we all know this. Twenty years ago, the idea of a game such as America's Army bei...

It�s time for another blog dealing with one of the issues I am discussing in my Psychological and Social Effects of Games class. This week we�re discussing cheating in video games. I used to play a lot of Halo 2, like a whole lot. One o...

That's all she wrote folks. My relationship with my wonderful girlfriend is over. I've mentioned her in several other blogs (never by name), most notably in my most recent set-up blog. She said numerous times over the last month or so that ...

Demon's Souls has been hailed as a modern hardcore classic. A game so hard that awaiting it's arrival is akin to sitting on death row. Demon's Souls has already killed thousands of players, possibly millions if you consider the asian rele...

Get it? Today I�m writing this blog post to ask Destructoid what I think is an interesting question. I�ve been pondering lately, mostly because of my Psychological and Social Effects of Games class, what, if any, moral standards do video...

Woo hoo! Sribblenauts came out today! Long months of avoiding any Scribblenauts related media has finally payed off! I literally couldn't wait to get out of class today so I could pick up my pre-order copy and get home. Which is probably ...

This is how I remember Math Blaster. This semester I�m enrolled in a class called the Psychological and Social Effects of Games and one of the things we�ve been talking about recently is education in video games. Now before you start groa...

And I must say, I loved it. Batman will be a strong contender for my Game of the Year 2009. During my play through of the game I avoided any and all blogs discussing the game�s story while bookmarking a few of them. I did get the general ...

My GOG.com collection is really starting to fill out. The title pretty much says it all. In honor of their one year anniversary, GOG.com is having a buy one get one sale on all interplay titles. This is quite a deal. There are some really...

This is the main set up in the living room. Here you can see our PS3, Xbox 360 Elite, Wii as well as games for all three systems. [UPDATE]: I decided not to be such a lazy bum and I unpacked my SNES, Genesis and N64 collections. I also go...

The recent announcement of Heart Gold and Soul Silver has inspired me to get back into Pokemon Diamond. As I usually do when playing a game I love, I've come up with a few things I think would improve upon the old Pokemon formula. Since m...

Ever since the Playstation was released and 3D graphics were made possible, it seems that most developers have left 2D gaming in the dust. That's a shame because there are a lot of things that 2D games can do that 3D games cannot. Well, I...

I like to share the interesting things I find out there on the internet with you fine folks here at Destructoid. One of the things that particularly interests me is space and astronomy, which is why when I ran across HelloFromEarth.net I ...

Yesterday was an awesome day for videogames. I had originally planned on doing nothing but play Marvel vs. Capcom 2 all day but that didn�t exactly work out. My girlfriend wanted to do some shopping and she convinced me to come along by t...

The Path was always a game I was interested in but Rev's review made me not want to spend my money. Luckily, I won't have to as The Path was released on GameTap yesterday along with Rise Of The Argonauts, an action RPG from Codemasters. I...

Before I review this game I�d like to share one of my fondest video game memories. I was only 10 years old when this story took place. My mother worked at RPI (the same college my brother and I currently attend) and there was an arcade th...

I got home from a camping trip late this afternoon and currently I find myself unable to sleep. So I decided to check out some games on my new DSi. First up was WarioWare Snapped and I got through it pretty quickly so I thought I'd share ...

Credit for this comic goes to Penny Arcade. Ok so it's not really my birthday. I don't turn 23 until August 3rd. But that didn't stop my girlfriend from surprising me with a couple of supremely awesome presents today. I have to admit, hav...

The Evo Stick Sack that I told you all to order a couple of weeks ago has finally arrived! I got mine in the mail this morning and I am very pleased with it. The bag is very well made from high quality materials. As an added bonus, it has...

With the recent release of Morrowind and Oblivion on Steam, I've been playing a lot of The Elder Scrolls lately. I've been focusing on Morrowind because I haven't beaten that one yet and while playing, a number of ideas have come to me th...

So I've got good news and I've got bad news. The good news is that The Elder Scrolls series has finally made it's way to Steam and they're cheap! Until 6/19 the Deluxe package (which includes Morrowind GOTY and Oblivion GOTY as well as al...

So I just went to the Shoryuken homepage out of boredom (to tell the truth, I was playing Umbrella Chronicles with the woman when her mother called, pausing our game for who knows how long) when I saw the awesome Evo Stick Sack you see pi...

The Gamepad attachment in action Some of you may have heard of the LG Versa, the new modular phone that had a Gamepad attachment released for it last month. Well my birthday is in August and my parents decided to get me an early birthday ...

As promised, today Valve talked about the new item unlock system that replaced the old achievement based system in Team Fortress 2 yesterday. The new system is based on overall time played. Valve says the goal is for the average player to...

Thanks to the fine folks at Grand Old Games, I no longer feel guilty for my old video game pirating ways. Racing games are 50% off this weekend and I decided to buy Flatout for the low low price of $2.99. Thus I have purchased the very la...
