Promoted from our Community Blogs! [Dtoid community blogger Last Scion of the blah blah blah shares an awesome analysis of Dark Souls from a mythological perspective. Want to see your own blog appear on our front page?Go write something!–Mr Andy Dixon] In the Age of Ancients, the world was unformed, shrouded by fog.A land of grey crags, archtrees, and everlasting dragons.But then there was Fire.And with Fire, came Disparity.Heat and cold, life and death, and of course…Light and Dark....

Troglobytes games, Stupidi Pixel, and Tiny Pixel have revealed thatDeath Noodle Delivery, a severely nihilistic game about gig work,is coming toPS4, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X|S on July 31. Death Noodle Deliveryon PC this past April.I reviewed itaround launch and found it to be a hauntingly nihilistic and depressing game about the world’s decline in the face of endless crises and unchecked technological advancement. It takes the core premise ofPaperboyand twists it to present its dark underbelly....

There’s something strange going on in theDestiny 2neighborhood. Bungie announced on Twitter that an in-gameGhostbusterscollab heads toDestiny 2next week. It certainly isn’t the first timeGuardianshave seen worlds collide in-game, and it seems that the practice is steadily picking up pace. Destiny 2has seen plenty of crossover content in the last couple of years. Collaborations kicked off in earnest during 2022, with crossover cosmetic gear fromFortniteandAssassin’s Creed. The following year, partnerships intensified, with a PlayStation crossover bringing inGhost of Tsushima, God of War, Horizon,andThe Last of Uscosmetics....

ThenewDiablo 4season is here, Season of the Construct. That means it’s time to level new seasonal characters, with all the new changes from both the previous and new seasons. While every class has multiple builds that can certainly level up in the new season, some are certainly better than others. Here are all theDiablo 4Season 3 best leveling builds for each class, which you should consider choosing to level with before switching to an end-game build....

Though it is cool and refreshing “What’s Retro working on? A newMetroid?ZeldaWii U? Something entirely original?” Those were the questions prior to E3. Turns out the secret project was yet anotherDonkey Kong Countrysequel. Don’t get me wrong!Returnsis friggin’ amazing andTropical Freezeis just as fun so far. I simply think Retro has so much more potential. Never mind that, though.Tropical Freeze… it’s pretty bangin’. From the opening scene in which DK and Diddy bust out of their downed airplane, our duo makes their way into a small pool of water....

For the competitive MOBA mode, that is Trendy Entertainment has opted to focus on the multiplayer online battle arena component ofDungeon Defenders IIin this latest gameplay demonstration. Yes, this probably isn’t what you signed up for, but it makes sense from a promotional standpoint since it’scoming out beforethe traditional cooperative tower defense side of the game. The video itself is a hero showcase, this time for the Apprentice. As a fan of Hi-Rez Studios’ third-person MOBASMITE, I’m somewhat interested, though it’s not exactly like I’m actively searching for more of these games to occupy what remaining leisure gaming time I have left....

Turbo Hyper Over-violent The retro-inspired FPS market is getting extremely crowded, and standing out is becoming more difficult than ever.Hyperviolentdoesn’t really do a good job of doing that on the surface. Even the name is as interchangeable asTurbo OverkillandUltrakill. It advertises violence, which you can get pretty much anywhere. But taking the time to actually get intoHyperviolentreveals that it’s not just another retro-inspired FPS. It’s not just explosions and heavy metal music....

Looks like paper’s back on the menu, boys The peculiar PlayStation VR gamePaper Beastislaunching on Steamlater this summer, and if you’re into the idea of studying fantastic wildlife in a strange land that you can physically reshape, you’re gonna want to check it out. It’s the imaginative work of Pixel Reef andAnother Worldcreator Eric Chahi. At a glance, this might look like a sandbox-style god game about a surreal ecosystem – it can be, if that’s all you’re after – but there’s a main puzzle-solving adventure mode, too....

Covertly board ships or die trying Just like withGunpoint, it’s a joy to watch designer Tom Francis playHeat Signature, wonky wrench physics and all, while it’s still in development. It’s as if he’s making the game solely for himself and, hey, if the rest of us also happen to get a kick out of hijacking spaceships, that’s a bonus. We got our first look atHeat Signature‘s proper artlast week, and here it is up and running....

Sing when you’re winning We may be in the middle of the holidays, but quaint fantasy warfare doesn’t take a break for nobody nor nothing. Nintendo’s mobile battle title,Fire Emblem Heroes, will be introducing another Legendary Hero to its roster this week. The beautiful and radiant Azura, know as the Vallite Songstress, joins the free to play title tomorrow. Originating fromFire Emblem Fates,Azura is a talented singer and dancer, accompanied (as is the style forFire Emblemcharacters) by a tragic backstory....

Sports fans will likely remember that this year’s best baseball videogame, bar none, was SCEA San Diego’sMLB 08: The Show. The game happened to be the subject of my first article for Destructoid, and in my opinion — and that of most other gamers — it blew 2K Sports’ effort,MLB 2K8, out of the water. On Monday, Sony officially announced the next installment in the series,MLB 09 The Show(yes, the title appears to have received a colectomy)....

Major Nelson has updated with the new releases on Games on Demand for Xbox 360. I wouldn’t get too excited. The best of the bunch for my money isStar Wars: Force Unleashedwhich will set you back $29.99 in North America.Top Spin 3looked good but I’m rubbish at tennis games and would just get frustrated with it. you’re able to grab that for $19.99. And then there’sToo Human. Interestingly enough, I can’t seem to findToo Humanon my US account....
