Better late than never, eh? A couple of years following its debut on iPhone, turn-based RPGChaos Ringshas become availablefor Android devices 2.3 and up. I would have figured that Square Enix and developer Media.Vision would drop the price a bit given those circumstances, but no — this is still $12.99. Back in 2010,Jim described the gameas reminiscent of PlayStation-era genre classics and ultimately considered it worth the premium asking price, giving it a 9....

The pre-recorded event will be streaming live on Monday, June 11 at 10:00am Pacific, giving us a few precious hours before Ubisoft’s event starts at 1:00pm....

In a twist that should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone playing STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl right now, GSC Game World has admitted that it nerfed A-Life 2.0 ahead of release. This was done, as GSC claims, due to performance concerns, and it’s abelievable argument for sure. This information is the first time GSC Game World has officially commented on the status of A-Life 2.0 inSTALKER 2, short of acknowledging the fact that it’s broken beyond belief....

Katsuhiro Harada, the director ofTekken 8and long-time veteran of the series, has responded to what he refers to as “silly threats.” In a recent tweet, he hits back at online trolls with a pretty lengthy statement about what harassment leads to. In a recent post onTwitter, Harada decided to give his take on the threats that have been coming his way online. One such example comes from a no-named user who says they will hit the director “with a Burning Hammer” (a move used byTekkenwrestler King) ifTekken 8doesn’t feature Eddy Gordo....

The Muppetscomes out tomorrowand you better go see it, as it deserves to make all the money. It’s all that has kept me going these past few weeks (it’s not easy being green). Is disliking The Muppets even possible? I can’t fathom it. They’re charming, adorable, and clever. I’ll be there with bells on my toes. Today, we released our handy Holiday Shopping Guide for software, we celebrated the game-themed marriage of a Dtoid member, Jim reviewed the latestDynasty Warriorsgame, Keither Swiader found himself surprised at the effectSpec Ops: The Linehad on him, and more!...

Check out everything Destructoid did today MC Frontalotdid a Kickstarter last year to raise money to make a music video. He raised so much, he made three. The third of these just hit the intarwebs Monday night, and if you’re a Voltron fan, it’s quite a good tribute to the animation style and show, and features other awesome nerdcore actsZealous1andDr. Awkward(who recently released hisOcarina of Timesampled EP “Boy Without A Fairy”)....

A veritable lose-lose situation SomeFriday the 13thplayers have a penchant for killing their fellow camp counselors. It’s gotten to the point where Gun Media describes the team-killing problem as “rampant,” like something out ofBattle Royale. With the next update, the developers hope to address the issue. That has a lot of folks worried. “Our team believes that the ability to hurt other counselors is something that this game should have as it adds tension and requires players to make tough calls,”wroteGun Media....

I know what I’m thankful for this year When Ice Cube rapped about having a good day, he must have been looking into the future to today, July 15, 2025. Because this was the day Square Enix, after years of teasing fans, finally confirmed the DS classicThe World Ends with Youwould be getting a sequel. Not a port or a remix, but an honest-to-God sequel with new characters, new gameplay, and everything....

‘Reworked Project’ The Witcher 3: Wild Huntis over five years old at this point, but CD Projekt Red is still reaping the benefits of its lasting appeal. Appearing on nearly every Game of the Year list at the time, the RPG has extremely long legs, even appearing on the Nintendo Switch over four years after launch. That many people are still playing it amid various deep discount PC sales, and the modding community is has been going strong ever since it arrived....

In a world in which the AAA gaming sphere has the resources to muscle its way to the top of the conversation pile, we should always strive to give indie studios a look-in. TakeTime Fliesas an example. This rather twee-looking game from developer Playables feels like it has a certain amount of heart built into it, with lashings of irreverent existentialism. I remember it being announced a few years ago, with a premise that feels equal parts unique and niche....

It goes live tomorrow on PS4, next week everywhere else As someone who is mildly curious aboutBattleborn, I’m glad Gearbox is holding an open beta. It’s one of those games where I don’t think reviews alone will suffice for me — I’ll want to get more of a feel for it first-hand to know if it’s something I can get into. My intuition isn’t enough to go on. If you’re coming from a similar mindset, you may want to download the beta ahead of time so you’re all situated once it goes live....
