Hey Gang, remember me? No? I don't blame you. It's been over a year since I've blogged here. Sorry about that. Over the last couple of years I've had less and less access to a stable and working computer and in all honesty while I had a ...

So a few weeks ago I saw this game on the PlayStation Network called Closure. Usually when I'm drawn to a game it has alot to do with the presentation. I'd say most of today's games try to be as colorful and as visually appealing as they ca...

Thanks to everyone whose written about themselves because honestly reading some of your stuff has kind of allayed my fears that I am not a total weirdo about somethings...though I still wear the weirdo badge with pride. So thanks for doing ...

I've wanted to just write up a rambling about some of the new video games I've picked up lately because I had money, it was burning a hole in my pocket and now I have more games I can play and further avoid some of the ones I have lesser in...

Do I really need to put too much effort into this? Wasn't it obvious? Dead Space 2 won by a landslide though I gotta throw out some love to the people who voted for stuff like Bullet Witch and Halo 3 just because damnit they may be 4 years ...

Hey guys! How you been? Grrrrrreat? I thought so. So I did what you said. I played the game you guys suggested and boy...what a game Enslaved was. I'll type out some thoughts at the bottom of this about the game but since I had fun creating...

What up nerds? A long time ago, when I was a wee one in Northern England, my dad brought home this funny looking video game system. I had no idea what it was, but I'd come to learn not long after that it was an Atari (not sure what generat...

Hey gang, the time has come! Let's see how you guys voted on what video game(s) I should play next! Thanks again for contributing this and for giving your opinions. I may just do this again sometime soon since I've enjoyed hearing about wha...

Back through the Omega 4 Relay, Shepard and Crew breathe one big sigh of relief as their final mission comes to a close. The credits roll as Mass Effect 2's epic final theme plays out. I got there without just jumping to the credits (becaus...

It seems like straight up brawlers are a dying breed in the gaming world. It's understandable as technology evolves and the FPS continues to be gaming's most popular genre, the side scrolling beat 'em up of yore seem dated. Hack and Slash t...

From the company I keep here on Destructoid and beyond, gaming feels somewhat like a disposable hobby. Of course I know I'm not exactly exempt from this mentality but it seems pretty prevalent between the gaming community to, and allow me t...

The F.E.A.R. series has always been a polarizing one for me. My initial experience buying the games a year ago had me quickly dismissing the titles based upon the fact that if there was a horror element it was severly lacking. The fact t...

Gareth here, it's been a while since I posted one of these so it's nice to be back in the big comfy chair. Remarkably the place looks the same....damn it who left that coffee laying there! Why is this seat so wobbly now? This floor is sti...

For most people Nintendo's defining moments came in 1985 when Super Mario Bros. arrived and changed the landscape for video games forever. During that time, my cousins, friends and almost everyone I knew would have a Nintendo Entertainment ...

So I guess today is Destructoid's 5 Year Anniversary and birthday to one Niero. Funny how that worked out eh? I can't fully remember what brought me to this site, though I know it was Jim Sterling that got my attention with his How [PROTO...

[Note: This is one of them there fancy smancy "opinion" pieces. Hence it's my opinion and thus in no way a definitive authority on the subject matter. It's also a look at sequels that I feel ultimately outdo their predecessor and more so it...

Well guys, I figured there would be no point in holding off one more day and decided to announce the contest winners! But first let me say this because like any good contest thrower guy I have to pad this baby out! But before you do, check ...

A while back whilst sitting in a session of whatever the hell it was we were playing at the time, Occams Electric Tooth Brush casually announced he'd be sending out some packages to some of us fine folks here at the Destructoid. As you all ...

Ever wanted to enter a Destructoid contest only to have the person in charge waggle his index finger and pucker his bottom lip and say "Nay Nay, my contest is open to Americans only". How gay is that? The answer? VERY. So here I present to ...

I have no idea if it really is 'Extremely Huge' but I thought this would be the best way to find out.... Hey gang, I haven't written anything non Friday Night Fights and even then, I haven't written one of those either. This is partially d...

Here on Destructoid we pride ourselves on being the best of the best, of the best of the best. Seriously. So with that said, we gather once again for a night of Friday...Night....shit. Before we do any of that I wanted to say thanks to L...

Hey yo guys, it's Friday again and you know what that means?!? Washing your socks and paying your bills time! No wait...sorry Friday Night Fights yes that's it. Though socks will still be washed. So here's the dealio, I'll be posting this...

War Is Hell. Sure, that's what you say now, but wait till your playin' with all ya buddies on Xbox Live and depending on whether your kicking ass or taking it up the moviepoopshoot.com you'll decided how much HELL you're ready to be in fo...

Calll Offff Dooooooddddy is a battle cry I sometimes let loose because I used to look down on the franchise. Another silly fucking herp-a-derp army game awash in a sea of herp-a-derp army games. Sure you won't find me going out to get the...

Hey gang. It's literally been one month and a day since I wrote a blog. An actual blog that wasn't just about this week's Friday Night Fights. Originally I was going to write a thank you blog to one "Occams Electric Toothbrush" because I re...

Hey gang, another Friday is upon is and you know what that means. Time to quit sticking that fork into the electrical socket and plug in yo Ecksbawks Tree City, for some epic Friday Night Fightin'. Last week, was kinda disappointing...

As I struggle to understand a world so cold, I try desperately to reach out to "New Destructoid" to find that I think some of my browser settings are screwing with me in that respect. So fuck it. Let's do this. Super Meat ...

I won't lie, this was sort of inspired by Disco's latest blog 'No GTA IV' but definitely not as much testing was put into it. I realized early on that to really appreciate the limits of a game you have to use your imagina...

It's that time again. We gather in honor of what our forefathers fought for...the freedom to play video games together on one set evening. How cool is that? So tonight is Friday and there shall be games played in groups and what not. Th...

Warning: This blog features pictures of a very homely person. I apologize, avert your eyes and there may still be a place for you in Heaven. In Heaven, everything's fine. You've got your good things and I've got mine. To really appreciate ...
