I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that I don’t think most people who have a heavy investment in video games have even seen Citizen Kane.  I haven’t seen Citizen Kane, so maybe I’m just projecting myself onto the gaming community… b...

“A survivor is born”. That is what it says on the back of Tomb Raider’s box; they also present that text quite prominently at the end of the game before the credits roll, and after finishing the game it’s important to keep those words in m...

I’ve been going to the library quite a lot lately. I used to go to study, as I’ve recently moved towns, and into a busier house back with my family and getting any work done from home was difficult. I get terribly distracted at the best o...

There is no doubt Robert Florence opened a can of worms with his Table of Doritos article over at Eurogamer. Most of us know about the article. It was about the relationship between the games press and PR. I won’t go into the contents in...

I’ll just say it up front now; when you’re talking about Resident Evil 6 it’s hard to not to mention Resident Evil 4. It’s especially hard for me; as to me, RE4 is a game I judge many action shoot-y type games against. I think it’s a true...

I want to thank Polygon. I want to thank them for clearing my eyes. After watching the trailer to their documentary which left me blinking deliriously I have just now opened my eyes to what I should be doing in my blogs, and that’s changi...

It’s easy to feel betrayed when a game series you like changes direction, or appears to reboot itself to a new crowed by reassessing its personality and getting a new hairstyle. It’s also very easy to accept this new persona if you weren’t...

It took me a long time to finally get around to playing Demon’s Souls. I suppose the reason why it took so long is an incredibly shallow reason: it’s how it looks. There is something about the type of fantasy set in middle ages Europe tha...

You can’t help but think of the perceived value of games while playing a platformer. While Donkey Kong Country Returns didn’t suffer so much when it came to sales the genre is often relegated down to something that isn’t worth anyone’s tim...

We’re drawing close to the release of what may be the finest game of 2012. Much like how Mass Effect 2 was released early in the year yet still managed to be many people’s game of the year despite the impressive competition that would foll...

So the Resident Evil 6 trailer showed up last night on a number of sites and as I turned off the computer and tucked myself in bed I found myself thinking about the series a lot. I thought about the original and how that scene from the Hun...

Now I know many of you are seeing that this is about Red Steel 2; a game that most don’t give two pointless thoughts about, but hear me out. This game made me realise some deep thoughts. Thoughts that undermine modern game conventions and...

I expect some of you are looking at this title and saying ‘Lolwut!? Portal 2 came out in 2011! What an idiot!’ or perhaps just gently wondering what the deal is, or even not caring at all and just skimming past these very words while your ...

You can browse any forum or comments section relating to gaming and find a multitude of ill thought out or carefully considered debates over a whole host of subjects; or sometimes just trolling and in-jokes. With the recent wave of info re...

Hi there. After lurking for over a year I've decided to become a little more active within Destructoid. I felt I had to come and kind of defend Other M, I enjoyed the game, I'm a fan of the series. But another reason is I never felt I ne...
