Since today is the kind of official Dreamcast Memorial Day, I give you a special edition of the Video Game Canon, focussing on the Sega Dreamcast Games on the list. Unfortunately, there is only one Dreamcast game on the list until now: Pha...

My Dreamcast has actually survived its second day, which is quite an achievement since the one I got before died after 24 hours. Well, still scared the hell out of my when it resetted out of no reason yesterday... about three times. At the ...

Well, it's actually my second one, the first one died after one day. This one seems to work fine, even though it restarts several times the first time you turn it on in a day. The Dreamcast itself looks a bit used, but it still is good en...

Sorry about my last blog-post, which is now hidden for good. Should have thought twice about it. Anyways, this is a follow-up article to my last post where I described the many methods on how to show your appreciation for a game. But what ...

We probably all love, or at least like, gaming as a whole. Destructoid is all about how we love our hobby and what we think about it and I guess, only a masochist would come here if he hated games. The question I asked myself recently howev...

Hello everyone, Here I am again. I know, I'm a week late... again! But it's the summer... it's way too hot... and I'm lazy... Sorry about that, here come the new additions to the Videogame Canon: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Touhou 6 ~...

Some hours ago, the first trailer for Guild Wars 2 was revealed. Since Destructoid ignored this for quite some time (together with some other online media outlets), I'll just post it here: I'm so hyped for this game, since I loved the fi...

Since a certain someone once again posted a Blog Entry about his awesome emulation skills (and thus reviews 3 Batman games which he does not own...), I wanted to write an entry about one of my most cherished games of m childhood: Batman for...

If you checked out Wikipedia today, you might have noticed that today's featured Article is about Vagrant Story! I loved that game back in the days and it was pretty much the last game I bought for the first Playstation. Unfortunately I gav...

Hello everyone, I'm back again in order to present you the new changes on the Video Game Canon! Three new games made it on the list this week: Cave Story, Dance Dance Revolution and Passage. This is the first time that Indie games make it ...

If the NES was my childhood, the Sega Mega Drive (and I'll stick with that name) was definitely my youth. When I got the console, I probably got one of the most awesome pack-in games ever: The Sonic Compilation. This compilation was o...

Hello everyone! Discussions have slowed down, probably because it's summer time and everyone has better stuff to do (read: playing videogames!). We have three new games on the list, submitted by nintendoll, who actually gives interesting a...

About two months ago, I found a little SNES cartridge at my local game store, nobody else seemed to have noticed. It was Pop'n Twinbee, a game of which I did not know that there would actually exist a version in the west. After I bought i...

Since there are some people spamming around on the C-Blogs about how many Roms they have torrented and got absolutely no time to play with, I thought to myself: Why not do the exact opposite? So, here I am, telling you a bit about how exact...

Hello everyone! We are already nine weeks into the discussions, and one again, some new games have made it to the [Confirmed] area of the list: Deus Ex, one of my personal favorites, seems to have owned a place on the list, same goes for W...

It's Saturday again, which means another update of the Video Game Canon, created by this wonderful community! This week I had to do two seperate updates, so there are many games that made it on to the [Confirmed] part of the List, includin...

Hello everyone, the discussions around the inclusion of specific Final Fantasy entries to the video game canon are getting really interesting, but I ask myself if there are other JRPG that belong on the list. Up until now, also Dragon Ques...

The video game canon is already in its sixth week and discussions are healthy again. I still have no clue what Final Fantasy should be included, since I don't want to include all of them, as some have proposed. Another interesting topic tha...

When I got Mana Khemia about 2 months ago, I had absolutely no clue about the game. The only thing I saw was a cover with Anime art on it, which is always a plus, a bigger box than usual, including the original Soundtrack of the game. And...

Hello everyone, It has been a (very) slow week once again, so I'd like to kick of discussions about a videogame franchise that that was also in the focus of RetroForceGo! This week: Final Fantasy. The question would be, which Final Fantas...

Hello everyone, I'm quite happy that I can say that after one very slow week, we had a very active one. Discussions had a new turn since some users new to the discussion wanted to discuss the concept of the video game canon we are trying t...

Discussions have pretty much totally stopped in the Forum, so unless there will be some new activity in the Topic here, this will be the final update on the situation. I updated the list and have redone it in a new way: New Tags have been a...

Since the forum was down for one whole week, I have no other choice to combine week 2 and 3 into one single update. So, what's new in the discussions? When it comes to Metal Gear Solid, the discussions seem to more and more tend to includ...

One week ago I started a thread on the Destructoid Forums in order to create a video game canon. There was some response to it, and most of it was very constructive and it was interesting how the games that were proposed have been discussed...

Hello everyone, it seems there is some movement in the Fatal Frame 4 case. The official Twitter of the Official Nintendo Magazine states the following: What you up to this weekend? Chris is going for dinner with Suda 51 tonight. Going to g...

This morning, I turned my Xbox 360 on for the very first time this week and checked out if there was something new and interesting... and there was! I did not know about a Tales of Vesperia Demo coming to Europe, and since I am looking forw...

Hello everyone, Before I actually start talking why there is a certain need for a video game canon, I think I might have to explain to you what I mean with the word „canon“. A canon contains a certain number of works of its specific medium...

Dear readers, I have a huge problem: My PS2 just won't die! Just two weeks ago, I bought myself Mana Khemia, which came out end of March in Europe, and I'm still playing it to this date. Before that it was Persona 4. And I still have not b...

“Analyze this” is a series where I try to analyze different aspects of Video Games, the concepts behind them and the community around them. Recently, the cast of Destructoid had a really insightful discussion about what in fact is “Retro...

This article is meant to give you a little overview of Game Studies. I’ll try to make this not too complicated so that everyone can read it and get something out of it, which is the ultimate reason for this (and maybe the following) artic...
