Every Tuesday a bunch of us Dtoiders get together and hop online to play some Team Fortress 2 on theofficial Destructoid server! You should join us! Wait, what day is it? Tuesday? Uh-oh, that means it’s time for another night of committing ludicrous amounts of murder. Last night we had some ridiculous fun as we tried server-wide Demoknight fights. I thought I would hate this, but boy was I wrong. Want to know how to get into these crazy shenanigans?...
If you haveTekken 6and have played through the Scenario Campaign, you would have played it alongside an AI companion. Boring! That will change with an update coming later this month. When updated, you’ll be able to recruit a friend online and play through the entire campaign mode together. There will be voice chat capability and leaderboards added to go along with the update. Along with this, a smaller item is also being fixed: In online versus mode, Mokujin’s fighting style changes with every round....
Tokyo Game Show is one of the biggest videogame conventions of the year.

Of everything that was announced, I am so looking forward toAzura’s Wrath. It’s looks like it’s going to be a ton of insane fun. What new games that were announced are you looking forward to?...
Death is but a warp pipe, time is but a magic painting I appreciate Flash animators with quick turnaround between projects. Just a couple months ago, James Farr was able to deliverSuper Mario Busters, a kick-ass mashup ofSuper MarioandGhostbusters, and already he’s hammered out a sequel. He’s not a man, he’s a machine! Taking cues fromGhostbusters 2, the latest short expands the busting crew to include Yoshi, Sonic the Hedgehog, and aSlimerYoshi....
A 100-tile design challenge Much can be said about the despair-filled real-world housing market, but in the carefree realm ofThe Sims 4, tiny homes seem fun as hell. It’s all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows. Players have latched onto the downsizing trend as an interesting design constraint where every single piece needs a specific purpose and place. Now, it’s official:The Sims 4is getting aTiny Livingadd-on pack later this month. With a Tiny Home Residential Lot, you’ll have just 100 tiles to work with....

I need to rewatch The Descent We’re in the second half of September and that means fresh Games with Gold. With an Xbox Live Gold membership, you can nabTomb Raider: Definitive Edition(Xbox One) andCrysis 3(Xbox 360) at no extra cost. I doubt I ever would’ve paid for the remaster, so that works. If you missed downloadingThe Deer God, actually, you didn’t — it’s still free to claim with your subscription for the rest of the month (thoughBattlestations Pacifichas left the promo)....
Halloween is almost upon us, which means it’s time for a litany of inane “top things” list articles with vaguely spooky themes! When it comes to stereotypical Halloween items, scarecrows are among my favorite. I’m not sure why that is, but I’ve always enjoyed stories involving haunted scarecrows and I find something aesthetically pleasant about them, albeit in an eerie way. I don’t want to have sex with them or anything, I just think they’re cool....
Day two [Update:Watch the second day of the Treehouse stream below, which kicked off with Pokemon Go today at 1PM ET.] Nintendo is forgoing a traditional E3 conference in favor of a smaller more concise look at the nextZeldagame.

‘The first feature in the social suite’ [Update:The friends list featureis no longer being includedin the November update due to “scaling issues.” No further timeline has been provided, but all of the other changes, including the much-needed performance update, are still coming this month.] A lack of social features and client stabilitywere my biggest gripeswithMagic: Arena‘s 1.0 launch, but it looks like an impending November patch is going to address both of those to some degree....

And a short about Klefki, the key Pokemon Pokémon XY: Cocoon of Destructionis releasing June 24, 2025 in Japan. From early information, it seems that the people behind it are going with a kitchen sink approach to capitalize on the wildly popularPokemon X/Y.

Both Mewtwo Mega Evolutions also appear on promotional material.According to Japanator, Japanese fans will also be able to vote “for the gift that will accompany advanced ticket purchases....
