With television shows and movies taking a backseat this year, that means the spotlight can finally return to the one thing that lives at the heart of SDCC. I am of course talking aboutMarvel’sSpider-Man 2. The upcoming action-adventure game is just a couple of months away, and today at SDCC, we got a brand new story trailer that gives us a good look at perennial favorite Venom....

Nick Valdez’s personal picks for Game of the Year 2016

Pokemon Go to the polls… I took so many Ls in 2016, folks. I lost a couple of jobs, I moved back in with my parents after living on my own (across the country) for two years, we lost so many icons, and there’s a good chance I’ll be half of Master Blaster when the world goes to hell. But I also had victories! I got a couple of jobs (including this one!...

Okay techno Souls-like The Surge is getting a demo soon

For PC, PS4, Xbox One I thought Ray was pretty spot-on with his review ofThe Surge.

To say it riffsSoulsentirely is unfair as it does try to forge its own identity, bu tit does owe a whole lot to From Software....

PlayStation Move’s ‘nunchuk’ device gets a name

The attentive folks at Engadget observed that the FCC has added an entry for the secondary controller accessory used with PlayStation Move to their database. On the label seen above, you can see the product name for the accessory, the “Navigation Controller.” Simple, to the point and makes perfect sense, really. It’s the half with the analog, after all, which is what I plan to use when “navigating” my way through games....

Producer striving to make Starcraft II playable by his mother

When we think ofStarCraft’splayer composition we imagine highly efficient gamers anxiously pounding on the mouse, navigating hot keys like a NASA pilot preparing for liftoff, sweating as he wades the initial Zerg rush from an opponent. We don’t think about our mothers or the casual audience’s inability to grasp StarCraft’s various components. One Blizzard producer is doing just that, and his goal is to not only create a highly complex RTS, but to break it down to where his mother can pick it up and play....

Ranked: The eight best Mega Man games (Zoey’s picks)

A long time ago, back in 2013, both our current managing editor,Chris Carter, and former Destructoid regular,Tony Ponce, created dueling lists of the best games in Capcom’s classic and sprawling action platformer series,Mega Man. They were both wrong. While I can’t apologize on their behalf, there is another way I can set things right: by creating a new, much more definitive list. Just as they do, I, too, have a strong appreciation for the Blue Bomber stretching way back to my childhood when I vicariously played the games through screenshots in a Nintendo Power password book....
