Witness another poor decision on my part.Street Fighter IVtaught me not to play modern fighting games, or, at the very least, speak my opinion of them in public. Of course, that was before I was able to post to the third largest gaming blog on the internet, where everyone loves me…weak laughter. Mortal Kombatgames sort of dropped of the planet for a while, so we’re served up with a nice reboot this time around....

UK producer adds tenth studio to its portfolio UK digital marketer Sumo Group has acquired indie developer PixelAnt, adding the Polish outfit to its family of ten-strong studios – although PixelAnt is Sumo’s first acquisition from mainland Europe. PixelAnt, based in Wroclaw, will retain the leadership of studio heads and industry veterans Pawal Rohleder and Adam LasoÅ„, who co-founded the company just last summer. Going forward, PixelAnt will now work exclusively with Sumo Digital on its upcoming releases....

Coming in December in Japan [Update:Here are thefirst official screensand the trailer!] Puyo Puyois one of those criminally underrated series. Enthusiasts know about it and live by it, but the gaming public often drifts by in favor of other puzzle games. Hopefully the newly minted puzzle RPG,Puyo Puyo Chronicle, will help change that. Announced today by way of Famitsu, it will launch on December 8 in Japan on 3DS, with both a standard and anniversary edition....

I still think that Psyonix Studios’ PlayStation Network battle-car game,Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars,has a name that’s just too damned long. Even the abbreviation, SARPBC, is longer than I’d like it to be. But I can get down with a price drop, as the game has shed $5 and can now be picked up for a cool $9.99 on PSN. Now might be the perfect time to pick it up, too, as they’ve also released a free holiday update that adds a new “Cosmic” arena, and other game fixes and updates (the full list of which you can see after the jump)....

Previously on the Destructoid Comic: It seems like an eternity since our heroes set about on their quest to retrieve a Dreamcast from the Goodwill store, needed to repair the Ikaruga. They have fought through the night against sentient consoles and deadly troll zombies, all while keeping undercover, away from the giant, metal behemoth, the Destructor-toid. Unwittingly controlled by young Ashley Burch, The Destructor-toid has destroyed much of the city, and nothing has come close to stopping it....

Three decades of transforming entertainment Thirty years ago today, peak television was born. ABC, a second-place network at the time mostly known for family-friendly dramas and comedies, took a gamble on an unusual crime drama about murder and secrets in the Pacific Northwest. Mark Frost was best known as a writer forHill Street Blues. David Lynch had two Oscar nominations under his belt and a penchant for the unusual. They were brought together for a biopic that never happened, but it was in this partnership that Lynch first had the mental image of a dead woman washed ashore; a picture that would eventually spiral into the pilot episode ofTwin Peaks....

‘A glimpse at the distant future’ It’s kind of incredible thatGuild Wars 2has lasted this long. It turns eight years old this August, and ArenaNet, for the most part, has been a pretty good steward of the game. In all that time it’s only hosted two expansions (Heart of ThornsandPath of Fire): otherwise, it’s been propelled by its “Living World” seasonal concept that was way ahead of the curve of many others games at the time....

‘Slot cars’ is a game It’s kind of low key, butClubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics, a first-party Nintendo releases, is arriving very soon on June 5. Although there are fans of the originalClubhouse Games(which had “42 all-time classics”) on the DS, a lot of you are probably worried that this iteration will just be boring out-of-trademark board games. That’s only partially correct. In this wonderful trailer, we get to see all 51 games shown off in just four minutes, with an extra minute and change tacked-on to showcase multiplayer features....

Remember when Eat Sleep Play was aiming for a T-rating for the upcoming PlayStation 3Twisted Metal? It’s given up that plan; the game will now ship with an M-rating. “Without the blood,” Eat Sleep Play’s David Jaffe told a crowd during a panel at Comic-Con (viaGameSpot), “it felt a little weird, frankly.” During an on-stage demo, Jaffe showed off a few of the game’s weapons, including a sniper rifle. After landing a headshot with the gun, the skull exploded in a fountain of gore, something you definitely wouldn’t have seen with a T-rating....

Finding the best pet inPet Tower Defenselargely depends on which stage of the game you’re in. For example a base version Electro Dragon is better than a Golem early until you get the King Trait on the Golem for an extra placement and suddenly the Golem is stronger. Also note that you’re always rolling for all units, the banners just increase the chances for featured units. Lets analyze all units and find the best pets in ourPet Tower Defensetier list....

Hint: the PS4 does more things Yes, I still playDynasty Warriorsgames. Despite the many iterations and enhanced ports, it’s still good fun to just run around and slice up hundreds of dudes on a battlefield — in that regard, theWarriorsseries is rarely matched. It’s a good thing then that Koei Tecmo is actually putting some effort into the PlayStation 4 version ofDynasty Warriors 8: Complete Edition, as the newer console will not only support enhanced visuals over the PS3, but more on-screen enemies....
