In theory, a videogame is really just a computer program made up of electronic signals, creating light that moves in different patterns on a television screen.  BUT. With that said, I've always been a big fan of both box art & packaging th...

I've been playing videogames for the vast majority of my life, and some of my most fondest memories involve gaming in some capacity or other.  Today, I want to share a simple story with you guys about one of my favoruite moments I've had...

With the month of October in full swing and Halloween just around the bend, I thought I'd remind the you guys about the old story of the cursed Majora's Mask cartridge... *holds flashlight under face and grins menacingly* { Artwork by Wi...

The fact that E3 exists really amazes me. The fact that our society has such an excess of "needs" that we can warrant and justify to ourselves that a convention of E3's size and sheer magnitude can exist for the sole purpose of videogames...

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future is a fun, addictive videogame with an extremely creative gameplay premise behind it and a story that completely draws the player in and holds him there. I've been a fan of the series ever sinc...

Let's just play pretend for a bit... let's just pretend that we live in an alternate universe. An alternate universe where the current state of the videogames industry was dramatically altered. Let's pretend that the three big ga...

I was digging through some old cupboards in our house last night when I found my mom's giganto pile of cross stitching materials. =D I decided "Hey, what a perfect way to make Cave Story sprites!". And so I did just that. Seriously guys,...

Picture unrelated. Obviously. ;) Hey Dtoid community. :) It's garison here. You may know me from such places as the previous Dtoid Friday Cblog recapper! ... and that's ... pretty much it... ;) Alright. Gaming. Right. So I got the newl...

I know everyone is doing it today, but I just thought I would do my part. After all, CTZ told me to! Happy Birthday, Dtoid and Niero. You are both amazing, you were my first online community, and I love you for it. <3

[I also uploaded the video to YouTube if you would prefer to watch it there.] Hey everybody. I'm garison, and this is my video entry for the 2 Worlds II PAX East contest. I hope you like it. It took a lot of work, and I'm pretty proud of ...

I apologize for the pointlessness of this post, but I just had to share my excitement with you in the form of a Cblog. Today, we found out that a) Super Mario Galaxy 2 is coming out May 23rd, and b) Metroid: Other M is coming out June 2...

IGN posted some videos today of Gaijin Games' newest entry in the Bit.Trip series, Runner. Let me tell you, from the videos alone, I am kind of not impressed by how the game is coming along. What I loved about the first three games in th...

SHORTBLAWG! <3 I love you all.

So I was surfing Twitter the other day, and I came across a Tweet by iconsam showing his frustration over the perfectly good Heavy Rain box art ruined for the North American Release. This made me think of Ico, and start wondering if it n...

[SPOILER ALERT, but nothing too major.] Kay, so I was walking through this like courtyard thing right, and there is a broken swing set sitting in the corner of the yard. The game tells me that things aren't always as they seem, and that ...

I would like to start out this post by saying that I have utmost respect for Elsa, Randombullseye, and Jim Sterling possible. BUT! The fact that I am reviewing a review of a review of a review of a videogame that I have never even playe...

I can't believe that I wrote my first Cblog post a year and 26 days ago. I never did make a proper intro post for the site, my first entry was just a few opinions on Metal Gear Solid 4. It's actually super interesting looking back at the ...

I love you, Dyson, but I'm gonna have to go with Chad on this one ... [via: @gatorsax2010's twitter]

I seriously don't even know where to start when it comes to making a post on the amazingness that was the Penny Arcade Expo of 2009. The whole thing was just such a positive experience for me, I am totally at a loss for words just how ama...

When you ask a normal person on the street what they think of when you say "Rhythm Game", 9 times out of 10 they will probably say Rock Band or Guitar Hero. Not enough people know that the Rhythm Game can be something other than plastic g...

This PAX 08 recap video was recently posted by the beautiful Hamza CTZ over on the Dtoid PAX 09 Meetup Google Group. Apparently when Destructoid started uploading all it's original videos onto YouTube, all the videos that used the old vi...

Hey, it's another teaser site put up by Square-Enix! SHOCKER! This time wielding nothing but the roman numeral "VII" accompanied by the word "DAYS". What could this mean? Well, it's OBVIOUSLY the remake of Final Fantasy VII that was confi...

[SPOILER ALERT -- This post includes minor Persona 4 spoilers.] After reading Colette's news post about EA's panel on homophobia in games, I got inspired to write about my own opinion on the subject. What exactly is it that makes some...

Everyone is talking about the PSPgo, the slide up screen, the internal memory, and of course the lack of UMD drive along with its digital distribution exclusivity. All that stuff is cool (I guess), but I'm excited for what digital dist...

Today, in Sir Chad Concelmo's "If the Destructoid Editors were videogame characters" post, he challenged the community to come up with some doppelgangers of themselves, so I decided to take on the challenge. Keep reading to see my picks...

If anyone has visited the Destructoid Community Leaderboard lately, it's been changed to say -- and I quote -- "Currently offline -- getting reboot soon with FNF features..." This is pretty exciting news, although I"m not really a big Fr...

If really irks me when guys like IGN, and GameFAQs make top (insert # here) best videogames of all time lists. How is it possible to pick just one game of all time, and put x number of games in subsequent order of quality? Videogames are...

I really really really love Team ICO's games. so much so that I hold Shadow of the Colossus and Ico as some of my favourite games ever made. So, naturally, I was really looking forward to the formal of announcement of their next game, cod...

Ubisoft's press conference today was utter disaster, but don't take my word for it, covah did a good job of recapping just why they sucked as hard as they did. But what I want to focus mostly on this post is just how fucking proud Ubisof...
