Guys this isn't a very good blog post I've written, but dang it, i've got to tell you, MASSIVE CHALICE is really good. Yes its Double Fine. Yes its early access now. Yes its a Kickstartered game. No they haven't finished the game yet....

Guys, I saw this and had to come back home, to try and figure things out. And this isn't to say there's actual sides to be had, or rigth stances or wrong stances... but huh?  Is gaming actually transcending an ideological line ri...

BURST! The right trigger glyph flashes on the screen as Asura's blazing anger reaches yet another limit break, flames licking the chrome on the thin and understated health/rage meters. I slam my index finger against the button with more ...

For about 20 years now, I've wanted to make games. Up until about a year ago, I hadn't made much more than a simple ascii game in PASCAL and a hand full of levels in a handful of level editor enabled games. For the past few years, I've ...

Hi, you probably don't know me... you know, aside from what you knew 3 years ago. Lets catch up, eh? 10. I came to DToid because of Jack Thompson- Or at least because of Robot Leader's dedicated hard journalisms. A guy crazy enough ...

As life has dealt my hand, I have been the traveler of 45 minute commute to and from work for the past 7 years. In that time, I've found a lot of time to enjoy revile several gaming podcasts. As we start to forget 2011, I wanted to say a...

NOTE! I get a little spoilery, though I showed some restraint. Read at your own risky. Game has great performances regardless of knowing the plot points anyway... --- One of my favorite games from last year was L.A. Noire. While the ...

"I'm prepared to scour the Earth for that motherf*ck*r. If Butch goes to Indochina, I want a (dude) waiting in a bowl of rice ready to pop a cap in his *ss." -Marcellus Wallace, Pulp Fiction Looking past the way he says it, Marcellus Wall...

For the past few weeks, Jim Sterling has taken on the Xbox Live Summer of Arcade entry for the week, and each has come in disappointing in his opinion. This has come as a surprise, as many of the games show an overwhelming amount of prom...

Hello Destructoid, it feels like we haven't hung out in forever. You look well. Have you lost weight? Part of the reason I haven't been musing out like a bandit on the c-blogs lately is that I've been tinkering with the idea of maybe de...

As someone that dabbles in writing about games, I have a great respect for reviewers and feature writers. Further still, as someone that dabbles as an artist, I would want nothing more than for every piece of work ever, to get its full s...

E3 means a lot of things to a lot of people. For most people its the announcements of new games, confirmation of rumors and reveal of details on games sure to arrive in the next two years. And for some, its a chance to wade chest deep i...

Money's tight, GameFly queues are long, and you don't have alot of time for games. Seriously. So this is GameFlown: Brief reviews / recommendations for the renting/used gaming enthusiast. So, lets take this format for a test drive. Sing...

I heard this is what's hot on the streets. I refuse to be left behind on the latest gaming or blogging trends, for fear of being considered a dinosaur. If I'm ever going to over come this debilitating case of being "Older Than Most Of Yal...

Super Meat Boy is out now for the Xbox360, and it is glorious. Never before have I played a game that does so many things right, purely, as a game.  I was considering a heady piece on how Super Meat Boy is the true Citizen Kane of...

In a more thoughtful and wordy state of mind, this is where I would blog a scathing retort to Jim Sterling's reviews, which are just dreadful right?  Amirite?! Because, as you didn't notice, Jim Sterling said Herp Der...

Back in my day, games were hard. Jumps would kill you. Potions would kill you. Restarts would be back at the beginning of a level. Moves were only explained in the manual and rally special moves were only available by word of mouth. An...

Sometimes I'm in a room with a tuba and a trumpet player and it feels like there's that much room in the room. -Hype Required-- I need some serious game hype in my life! I end up saying so every fall in some way or another, either becau...

Lured into the den of a powerful biotic mind controller, I had made all the right moves to come this far. Answered all the right questions. Talked about music, sculpture and film and avoided talk of family and law enforcement. While in...

Nuts to your preamble. Substance! 1. Tubatic has been FrontPaged like 30 times. Alright, like... 5? 5 sounds about right, yeah? At any rate, Tubatic has been frontpage promo'd a few times. That make him totally a big deal. 2. Tubat...

My handle is Tubatic, and I like shooters. The first time I realized it was UN Squadron, one of the first games I had for the Super Nintendo. I'd played others before it. Dark, tech heavy games about laser guns and aliens. Standard stu...

Mega Man Universe has been announced!! While some Mega Man fans are a light with ideas on what it could all mean, there's still a good chunk that aren't quite getting an amazing vibe from this mysterious new title. To those on the fence...

Happy 4th of July! This day is an integral part of my timeline, and I'm glad no one's gone back and messed with it... or have they?! Celebrating the 4th- I didn't do much in actual celebration of the 4th of July. Mostly just sat around...

What's this meow about meow being for the meow rwor? Ipods are for purrs and fiskt who like to meowmeowr at pictures of fourteen years olds meowr. I work out at the meow meow everyday for six meows, try finding a fatty meow mow who even k...

In Destructoid's recent review of Backbreaker, Samit Sarkar makes a fair and accurate review of Backbreaker as a football video game that is not Madden in a Madden dominated landscape. While he briefly lauds the game's presentation and u...

Bwomp. Red Dead- This game is mad righteous. I've been enjoying the single player A BUNCH, both roaming around doing random crap and following the really well performed story. One of the things that really strikes me about Red Dead's f...

Earlier this month, a fan film was released onto the public about everyone's favorite little blue dude from the 90's: Mega Man! And, as a long time fan of movies and Mega Man, this film is an absolute success in the realm of game to movi...

I'm a little early for Father's Day, but I really wanted to support the community Monthly Musing initiative linked here!!! People that met my dad when he visited my school could often tell, right away, that we're related. Our look, post...

This time, its personal. Runners- You know how all these games are coming out where your character auto runs and you're expected to jump or slide to avoid obstacles. I really like those. They're kind of turning into a genre, and they're...

Konnichiwa, Fitches. Lemme hum you a tune for a minute. On Getting Older- This Monday, I celebrated turning 31 years old. Taking a moment to reflect, this is not the life I thought I would have when I thought about my future 10 years a...
