While it seems to normally be a faux pas to link external article posts rather than writing here, I figured it'd be okay to mention I recently got posted at Ashly Burch's How Games Saved My Life, since she's old-(or mid-?)guard Destructoid,...

The evolution of gaming consoles from chunky plastic boxes that often involved focused breathing-into in order to get them to function to curvy plastic boxes, twice the size of their predecessors, that occasionally need to be wrapped in tow...

Today's entry got to me just in the nick of time. Saving me by the bell is Reilly Campbell, who portrayed Punch Out!'s Little Mac, garnering a bit more screen time than might've been expected from a support trophy. Can't say it was disappoi...

For my third interview, I present a shorty featuring Tim Williams, who played one half of the most adorable team of sadists ever. When I initially contacted him, he described his time as Popo, the blue Ice Climber, by saying he, "had no lin...

Today's There Will Be Brawl interview comes from Gavin Niebel, the heartthrob and proud owner of a Cylon Resurrection Tub (no, really, he won it at auction after Battlestar Galactica finished) who played the Mushroom Kingdom police officer,...

Back in 2009, a webseries slipped onto the internet that took the whimsical beatdown action of Nintendo's Super Smash Bros series and twisted it into a dark tale of fallen heroes and a world going under. Ekeing by on donations and, about ha...

Nintendo, for the longest time, has not only been adept at creating memorable heroes such as Mario, Link, and Samus Aran, but has had similar skill in crafting villains with staying power. The indominitable Bowser Koopa, the inept but ins...

Back in the mid-90s, video game arcades were still a thing that existed in pretty much every mall in America. Fighters actually had quarter lines, plastic guns abounded, and games with seats in front of the cabinet covered more arenas than ...

Even with the steady stream of awesome-sounding updates, I can't say I'm as excited as I probably ought to be for the PlayStation Vita. All of the features sound great, and even the games I'm not that interested in look fabulous... but I'm ...

Lost in the shuffle amongst all this big-budget, Tokyo Game Show noise, Dan Fornace's Game-Boy-esque Smash Bros. demake, Super Smash Land, was released in its final form today, 9/14. Judging by the comments on the home page, there may sti...

Fusing Kinstones is a series examining both sides of divisive issues in the world of gaming, both current and recurring, in the hopes of finding some common ground both sides can agree upon. Or, failing that, I'm just going to make fun of b...

Normally, I think it's tawdry when people try to tie current affairs to video games for the sake of seeming relevant, but a thought struck me yesterday, so I'm going to become the thing I hate for a bit. It's been a decade now since Americ...

A lot of Playstation veterans will tell you that Final Fantasy VII is the game for which they got the system, that it was the best Final Fantasy game EV4R, that they would kill for an HD remake, et cetera and so forth. I'll admit that it wa...

I've been floating around long enough to appreciate Destructoid's sensitivity to and integration with their community, so it's rather encouraging to see such a direct request for input this week. That being said, I've got a fistful of ideas...

Back in 1995, the SNES and Genesis were graced with the precursor to modern, online console networks, in the form of XBAND, a service that let players dial each other up with modems for their game systems via a central connecting service,...

When debating the superiority of the eastern game scene and that of the west, there's one thing to keep in mind, regardless of any declines or gains either side has made over recent years. When it comes down to it, without the east, we woul...

I've been thinking a bit lately about two of the more maligned things floating around the gaming world as of late; the growing trend of online passes, and the floundering state of Nintendo's 3DS eShop. The former seem to be mostly worthless...

Some amongst you may be aware that this is the last week the anything Halo will be in Bungie's hands. As of tomorrow, August 4th, 2011, the helm of Halo as a franchise will be entirely manned by 343 Industries, thus far responsible for Halo...

Quick confession: I never got into the Scott Pilgrim comic until I heard the film was on the way and under the guidance of Edgar Wright. I'd glanced at the first volume a couple of times, after initial hype made me curious, but I mostly w...

Tony Ponce may have already given us a great article bidding adieu to Mega Man, but given how close the series is to my own heart, I figured I'd throw my own history with the blue bomber out there. I'm not usually the sort to get up and say...

The advent of fully downloadable games seems to be quite the blessing. Entire libraries of games, just a click or some scrolling and button-pressing away, yours concievably forever, virtually theft-proof, waiting for whenever you have the...
