LA Cops wants you to play with yourself on March 13

‘One-person co-op’ Alasdair told us abouthis time withLA Copslate last year, detailing his failures as an American law enforcement official. For those averse to Early Access, it will be available to play in just ten days. The “one-person co-op” strategy shooter is set to release on PC and Xbox One on March 13, and to commemorate the occasion, publisher Team17 released the trailer above. It was a little difficult to get a feel for how the game plays with just Ali D’s description, but it also seems like the video alone leaves out some key details....

Nintendo is already smashing its Wii U indie initiative out of the gate with the Switch

Timed exclusives up the ol’ wazoo Nintendo is making up for lost time with all of the work they’ve been doing to woo indie developers on their platform. While the Wii U was a decent step up from the pitiful WiiWare platform, they really didn’t come around to the idea of aggressively competing with other platforms until halfway into its life cycle — by then, it was too late. But in this past week, they’ve basically turned the notion around that they aren’t trying....

Saints Row IV is going to be the best superhero game ever

I pledge allegiance to the United Saints of America I was a little worried aboutSaints Row IVwhen itwas revealed at PAX East. My main concern being how much fun would it really be revisiting Steelport even with superpowers and such. After some hands-on time though, I really can’t wait to dive into the stupid world ofSaints Rowall over again. Yeah the environment is largely the same, but personally that’s something I’m okay with as that’s given Volition the chance to focus way more on upping the gameplay, adding a ton more mini-games, and creating a story as absurd and funny as you fighting off an alien invasion as the President of the United States....

Truthfully though, the talent involved has me curious....

Storm’s Adventure with The God of War Anthology Part 3

Ghost of Sparta, Ascension, and other ungodly surprises A long time ago, I was convinced to play 4God of Wargames, and I thought it would be a brilliant idea to split it into two videos, and, in essence, double the view count without much work. That wasPart 1andPart 2. That was three years ago. That was a better time. That was video.destructoid.com. Since then, two moreGod of Wargame have been released, and I can finally make Part 3....

TGS: Creepy leg touching game makes me feel pervy

It wouldn’t be a Tokyo Game Show without some kind of creepy gaming experience. This year’s find is a mobile game being showcased in Sony’s PlayStation Mobile pavilion. Alongside the family friendly experiences here I foundKaikan Ashitsubo Massage,or something likePleasant-feeling Leg Reflexology Massage. This Android-based touchscreen game has you pressing pressure points, giving some sexy stocking’d legs a rubdown. You tap or rub (though holding works fine) and continue doing so until you reach the minimum score level to move onto the next set of legs....
