No one can blame you for missing the John Hillcoat-directedRed Dead Redemptionshort film, based on when and where it originally aired. Now that it’s viewable in full on the Internet, though — worth a look, especially if you have no intention of playing the game. By pure luck, I happened to catch the first ten minutes or so of it on TV. I didn’t watch the full thing, and here’s why: much of it is comprised of repurposed in-game cut scenes....

Looking cool We knowDestiny 2has been in the works. Bungie has even confirmed it. And considering the disappointment manyDestinyplayers have gone through based on the current incarnation of the game, the prospect of a fully juiced-up sequel on just current generation systems could be great. It also looks like we’re getting our first look at what’s to come by way of Aziz Dosmetov’s concept art, which clearly details the three main classes — most notably, with a staff weapon, a shield, and a sword with angel wings....

All about FPs Smash Ultimateis kicking off 2020 right with itsMeleetournament, and now that this past weekend is over and done with, it’s time for the new hotness. This weekend Nintendo is getting even wackier, taking the focus off of players and putting them entirely on amiibo figures. Yep that’s right: this week’s tournament event (that begins on Friday and runs for three days) is called “Challenge with Raised amiibo: Tag Tournament....

‘Much of [2020’s celebrations] did not materialize’ I kind of can’t believe thatDanganronpais still around: but I’m loving every second of it. That is not an indictment of any kind! Originally born in 2010,Danganronpacould have ended up meeting the same fate as a lot of beloved, but ultimately niche, games. Instead it’s spawned multiple sequels and spinoffs, as well as manga and anime adaptations. Spike Chunsoft has pivoted it as a major jewel in their crown: and they have a long respectable history of pumping out games....

That didn’t seem to be the case though, as Square Enix only had PC, PS4, and Vita on their platform list, leading many to clamor for a Switch port — as these situations often lead to....

We’ve been talking a lot aboutBinary Domainon Destructoid as we approach theFebruary 28 release date. I actually have some hope for this game that it won’t just be yet another forgettable third-person shooter experience. I’m definitely going to play the single-player due to my giant soft spot for cyberpunk tales. What I won’t touch is the multiplayer, however. Not because it’s bad or anything, but investing in a non-AAA title’s multiplayer feels like a waste of time....

Whatever the age of the kid you’re trying to play with, there’s a board game suitable for them....

Rapper Common believed Issac Newton coined the phrase ‘Standing on the shoulders of giants,’ but that’s a Common misconception [We post a lot of articles here at Destructoid. The endless, ouroboros news cycle has us burning the snake at both ends, which will ultimately push big news, thoughtful original pieces, and all sorts of other great content off of the front page. Check here every Saturday for my attempt to rectify that....
