TheYu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of Destructionset is an exciting, fiery set that introduces a new fire dragon and makes the most of the previous set’s Ashened theme. When it launches, theYu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of Destructionwill continue the story of Sinful Spoils, Snake-Eyes, and Diabellstar the Black Witch. Maybe the most interesting thing about it is the addition of a theme that will bring together plant, insect, and reptile-type monsters, uniting them under a single banner to help you destroy your opponents....

After getting a taste ofthe single-player inBattlefield: Bad Company 2, it was time to play the newly revealed multiplayer mode, Squad Rush. Squad Rush is basically a toned downed version ofRush modedesigned to be a extreme competitive game mode for quick matches. Maps are smaller, there are no vehicles and rounds move along a lot faster. Four teams of four will be switching between offense and defense sides as the offense team tries to take out the defensive side’s crate....

It’s hard to walk away from a game at your peak It’s a simple question, but your answer might a bit more be complicated — do you typically do New Game+ runs? What do you need from them? Anything extra? Or are you generally looking for an excuse to continue existing in this world for just a while longer? Over the weekend, I circled back toRogue Legacy 2,a game I’ve finished....

In the first of what will be a series of developer diaries, the folks behindBodycountcut through the nonsense: this is a game about guns and shooting things with said guns. They’re calling it a “really intense arcade shooter,” and saying they’re taking it back to the basics. What this means is fewer guns, but more attention to how those guns feel in your hands. You ever fire a gun in real life?...

The meowracle of life Team Meat has provided the first clip from its upcoming catlady simMew-Genics. In a turn that can be described as, “very internet” if you have no paternal instincts towards the English language, the first clip is not a teaser trailer, but an animated gif (below). Also, be sure to read Edmund McMillen’sexplanation of the processand how you can start to see the mechanics at work in this little miracle....

Char did nothing wrong Bandai Namco has released new trailers for the latest DLC forGundam Versus. While Phantom Gundam’s trailer was previously shown off ata tournament last month, the trailer for Nightingale is brand new. Both trailers confirm that the mobile suits will be releasing on September 26 in Japan, which is three days before the international launch. You can check out the Red Comet in action below. Needless to say, Nightingale looks to be an intimidating mobile suit, with impressive ranged options while having dangerous close combat combos....

If SOPA gets passed, at least I know it won’t affect my Public Domain ingredients only soup website: That thing’s just about soup. Comments of the Week is a feature where we scour the front page, community blogs, forums, social media and the 200 year old Russian wax carvings not under any intellectual property management looking for comments.

N Sane, got no brain Vicarious Visions’ remaster of the first threeCrash Bandicootgames has been something I’ve been looking for to for a minute now. Including the first threeCrashtitles (Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, andCrash Bandicoot: Warped),Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogyfeatures new animations, better cinematics (enhanced for 4K and PS4 Pro), and a fully remastered soundtrack.

Unhappy with the official box art for Namco Bandai’sKatamari Damacy,Destructoid forum-goer Matthew Blaketook matters into his own hands. He created his own. While we’re flattered by the fact that he put our very own Mr. Destructoid on the box, more amazing is that nearly all of the text has been replaced by the “lyrics” from the game’s recognizable main theme: “Na na na.” “All of the text is written the same as the original box art,” he xplains....

Game filled with violence, metal and sexy characters sells well This week, Capcom pulled out twin guns, straddled its giant motorcycle, set fire to its own clothes, hit the throttle, and rode that fucker into the sun, as batshit hack ‘n’ slash adventureDevil May Cry 5released to amazing critical and fan acclaim. Of no surprise to anybody, this reception has translated to sales, allowing the sequel to debut at number one in the UK Charts....

Based on how solid and tight the gameplay demo ofUncharted 2: Among Thieveswas at the Sony press conference, it’s hard to believe it isn’t actually launching until November of this year. Still, I have always been a fan of the “it’s done when it’s done” philosophy when it comes to development. At this point, what aboutUncharted 2hasn’t been said already? It’s gorgeous to look at, cinematic, funny when it needs to be, and doesn’t take itself too seriously....

After 13 years,EverQuestis still getting updates. I’d be more amazed if I hadn’t written about another update at thebeginningof the year. It’s looking spry for its age. Its players are also getting a new wardrobe — something that rejuvenates even the most grizzled warrior. In the latest update, “Hero’s Forge“, you can get rid of that rusty, blood smeared armor, and swap it out for something sparkly and lovely, or visa versa if that’s your thing....
