Burned out on Game of the Year lists? Well, buddy, I've got you covered with another one. So, without further ado, here are Kyle MacGregor's hottest game tracks of 2016. Hitman (2016) - "Train Tracks" Battlefield 1 - "Armored Tr...

This may be the most difficult thing I have ever had to write. And not just because I think that Game of Thrones reference in the headline is dumb and trite and played out already (I'm already looking forward to cringing in a few year...

http://www.destructoid.com//ul/user/3/33509-295328-whatisgoingonjpg-620x.jpg Ohayou gozaimasu! I'm excited to announce that starting today I'm what Niero is calling our "chief weekend Ché." What does that mean exactly? Well...

Gardevoir is now awake. Here she is at the lake.    Check out her tiny rake. Did you know she likes to bake? Sometimes girl just wants a steak. Even she could use a break.  Ekans is a purple snake. mmmm m...

We just doled out a mess of game of the year awards, and they're all lovely games. That said, they're not necessarily all my favorite games of 2013. So, in the interest of full disclosure or something, here were the games I voted for.  H...

Update: Dragon's Crown also deserves a spot on this list. And from what I've played of Killzone Mercenary it'll be on here too. We're a little over halfway through the year. Seems like a good time to do some reflecting or whatever. In no p...

A few weeks ago Destructoid staff submitted lists of our ten favorite games to release in the past twelve months. Those lists were concentrated down to just five nominees. And Telltale's The Walking Dead emerged the victor. Now that it's pa...

Several months ago I wrote a blog expressing my discontent with the current state of Goozex. The videogame trading community served me well for years. But recently the bottom has fallen out. The bubble has burst. The market has taken a tu...

I've been working on some reviews lately and got into the Monaco beta so I haven't been digging into my backlog much lately. In fact, aside from Asura's Wrath I beat all of these months ago and just forgot about them. But I still have opini...

Last time on Backlog: Kyle played God Hand, Lollipop Chainsaw, Valkyria Chronicles and Binary Domain. Guys, I have a confession to make. I fell off the wagon a bit and have been playing wayyy too much Puzzle Fighter and Ikaruga over the pa...

I used to be an avid fan of Goozex. During my college years money was tight and I liked the idea of skirting around corporate middlemen and exchanging games with a community of players. I was actually introduced with Goozex through the Dt...

Since getting rid of The Bigs 2 and forcing myself to stop playing shmups all the time I've been surprisingly effective at knocking games off my list. Feels good, man. This time on my personal adventure to cut my backlog down to size we hav...

Ah yes, the infamous backlog, that dust-covered stack of games sitting forever unfinished in homes of gamers everywhere. Last week I decided to do something about mine. Sure, that's an annual New Year's resolution that never seems to come t...

I figured it's the end of my first week writing here at Destructoid so I might as well do one of those re-introduction things. Everybody's doing it so I'll just jump off that bridge too. I'm a real sucker for some peer pressure -- th...

Four times now I have made this journey. I have voyaged across a sea of glittering sand, dotted with the scattered remnants of my ancestors’ world. Here once stood a grand civilization. Now, all that remains are but ruins. Pillars line th...

So last night I received this text message from a good friend of mine. He asked why I gave Portal 2 an 8/10. I replied that I thought it was a great game and most of my reasoning was contained within the review, if he wanted to give it an...

From the moment I heard about Dead Space I was in love with the concept. My father indoctrinated me into the world of science fiction when I was a young child. Star Wars, Star Trek, Doom, Larry Niven and Robert Heinlein novels…I was expos...

Sony Computer Entertainment and thatgamecompany’s Flower is a title that is considered by many to be centered on evoking positive emotions and have a soothing effect on the player. While Flower succeeds at this with its lush and vibrant vi...

Bit.Trip RUNNER (Wii) Developer: Gaijin Games Publisher: Aksys Games Released: May 17th, 2010 MSRP: 800 Wii Points Bit.Trip RUNNER is a 2D autorun platformer; much like the recently released iPhone/PC title Canabalt. The player takes c...

Grand Theft Auto is a video game. I bought it because it has a big number on Metacritic. Grand Theft Auto has very graphics that are like almost as good as what is on the Gamecube. Grand Theft Auto is made by one of my favourite video g...

In early 2007 I made a pact with myself; to ride out this generation with just my Gamecube and PC. About a year and a half later I broke that pact by purchasing a Wii. The first game I played on my new console was No More Heroes. Shortly...

Let me just start out by saying that Far Cry 2 is one of the most interesting and rewarding experiences that I have had with a videogame in recent years. While it certainly did not achieve perfection, it in and of itself, Far Cry 2 is sti...

I recently participated in a community podcast discussing history and videogames. As the least vocal member of the cast, I had some thoughts that I didn't elaborate on during the show. No matter how truthful and realistic a game is at re...

I have been planning to make a list of Wii Games to Look Forward to in 2010 for the past few weeks, but its February and here it is. There is already way more here than I could possibly play in a year, and we have not even heard E3 ann...

10. Rome Total War. The Creative Assembly. 2004. PC Rome Total War blends RTS, Turn Based Strategy and historical events seamlessly. I would be lying if I told you that I did not spend countless hours of my high school years playing this...

The other day I played Every Day the Same Dream after being alerted to it by Anthony Burch’s recent article. This was originally meant as a reply to that article, but I felt that it went beyond the scope of just that. Every Day the Same ...

Online services like PSN, XBL and the Virtual Console have given many of us the opportunity to play classic titles from a variety of systems. These games may be titles that let us reminisce and bask in the nostalgia of games from decades ...

As a literature student, I shall use my superior writing abilities and intellect to win you over with my impressive arguments. Now, you may wish to judge me for not having actually played Bayonetta, but I can assure you that I would never h...

I enjoyed Mirror’s Edge for the gameplay and interesting take on the platforming genre, but as far as the storyline goes, it has extremely little appeal. However, I would like to set the gameplay and story aside and take a deeper look at so...

Last night I began to play...inFAMOUS. While finding it fun, after a couple hours with the game I began questioning what the point in playing further was. Initially I took delight in harming civilians, only to realise they were not puppets...
