My review ofAlan Wake 2makes it obvious I’m a huge fan, not just of the game butRemedy’s work overall. With that said, I’m not blind to some of the flaws of the company, including the often missing features at launch such as chapter selection. It’s not compulsory by any means, but when you consider the lack of photo mode as well, you begin to wish things were a little more filled out....
The Android Market started small, but grew very quickly. TheGoogle Mobile blogsays that the Market has just passed the 10 billion download mark this past weekend. The growth rate is at one billion app downloads a month! That big Android user base has to have Apple checking the rearview mirror constantly. Apple hit the same mark earlier this year, so Google is catching up quickly. To celebrate, Android Market has tons of $0....
Smash and grab Ape Out, a Devolver Digital joint that puts players in the skull-crushing hands of a big ol’ gorilla, will release on February 28 instead of next week. It’s coming to PC and Switch. Look, I could sit here and smash my fingers all over the keyboard to flesh this post out. I could even toss in a few puns like howApe Outlooks more fun than a barrel of monkeys....
It’s hardly surprising to see yet another multiplatform Ubisoft game arrive on PC later than its console counterparts — even if it is something as popular asAssassin’s Creed— but the company seems to be getting ever closer to achieving that utopian concept. A guy can dream, can’t he? For now, though, we’ll have to wait a few weeks forAssassin’s Creed III: it’s hitting PCs on November 20 in the United States and on November 23 in Europe....
The power of love is a curious thing… We’ll always remember our first time. Sometimes it can be the best experience we ever had, opening our eyes to things we had never known. The sound of an ocarina. That time heroic moogles came to your rescue. Or maybe you found yourself mostly alone in a mansion loaded with undead horrors and felt a certain thrill in overcoming great odds despite your limited resources....
Hoping to hit its target Last time we heard aboutCatapult for Hire, it was taking its brightly colored physics-based puzzle-exploration toPAX Prime 2013. Since then, developer Tyrone Henrie has continued working on it as he has been for the past four years, and it has finally progressed to the point where it is now up onKickstarterandSteam Greenlight. Most interesting about the gameplay shown above is thatCatapult for Hireis not just about being stationary and lobbing items at targets....
But west coast folks will get it earlier than usual Given thatDestiny 2is such a massive online-only release with millions of worldwide fans, it’s tough to just flip a switch and have everyone get access at the same time. To combat any server stoppage problems, Bungie is rolling out a staggered launch schedule, with certain regions gaining access before others. The way it works is that once it hits midnight in any given region, you’re good to go....
Climate ‘not healthy’ for Vita successor In case you hadn’t already guessed, Sony is unlikely to make another dedicated gaming handheld. Speaking during a panel atEGXthis weekend, SCE Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida expressed that while he personally is “a huge fan” of PlayStation Vita, the dedicated portable market is “not healthy” at the moment due to the overwhelming dominance of mobile devices. “People have mobile phones and it’s so easy to play games on smartphones,” said Yoshida, adding “many games on smartphones are free, or free to start” in contrast with more expensive Vita titles....
Updated: June 26, 2025 We added new codes! Fishing is fun except for the parts when you wake up at the crack of dawn, dig out slimy worms, and wait for five hours to catch a big, fat nothing. So yeah—fishing is fun when it’s virtual. That’s why I immediately got hooked on the Roblox gameFish It. Do you know what else is fun to catch? Free rewards! You can get plenty of those if you redeem theFish Itcodes from our list below....
The difference between a game with set tracks, and an open world So it seemsForza Horizon 2, unlikeForza 5, will not be running at 60 frames per second. While it will still display in 1080p, the open-world nature ofHorizondoesn’t seems to play nice with the idea of a locked 60fps rate, especially considering the game will be streaming and loading in data constantly. Playground Games and company have instead adopted a zero-tolerance policy where frame rate dips are concerned, to ensure a consistent driving experience....

Settle in for a curated selection of narrated Destructoid stories If you’ve poked around Destructoid’s original features section lately, you might’ve noticed something new — a curious little embedded audio clip at the top of certain articles where there wasn’t one before. Wait,when did that happen? Just recently! It’s a still-fresh experiment. For this test run, we tappedDan VincentandJosh Picardto lend their voices to ten long-form Destructoid articles — some that you likely read when they were originally published, and some that you might’ve missed....
No Man’s Skyis full of various planets and moons to explore, with each star system offering unique planets with varying terrain, weather, temperature, and resources. With over 18 quintillion planets inNo Man’s Sky, one can guess how massive the game’s scope is. Each star system in the game has about 2-6 planets, and while it’s difficult to say for certain how many star systems there are, the number of planets should give you a rough idea that star systems would also be in trillions....
