Second place is Lucario In case you missed it,Google held a “Pokemon of the Year [2020]” poll recently, and allowed everyone to vote on their favorite creatures. The results are in! And for the most part, will not shock you. Coming in fifth is Umbreon (of course an Evee-lution made it in) with 67062 votes. The enduring Charizard is fourth with 93968, a substantial increase over Umbreon. Recent favorite Mimikyu is unsurprisingly high-up in third with 99077 votes....

Dear Destructoid readers, I have something I’d like to share with you today. It’s something quite… dastardly, if I do say so myself. More maniacal than the Joker, more ruthless than Killer Croc, more relentless than Two-Face, I have concocted a new, nefarious villain forBatman: Arkham City. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you…THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE. Naturally, the part of this addition to the Dark Knight’s rogues gallery — who is extremely attractive and like, totally awesome in every way I might add — will be played by none other than yours truly....

The closest (hopefully) we’ll ever get to being in court The re-release ofApollo Justicefor the Nintendo 3DS gives me a perfect opportunity to bring up some of the important lessons the series has taught us about the law. In the strange world of Japanifornia, the courts are a place not only of finding guilt, but of putting on the most incredible, often bizarre displays of justice possible. Your arguments are only as good as the flair with which you give them....

Japanese soundtrack + Blu-ray format = steep price tag Square Enix has strangely avoided releasing theFinal Fantasy XIVsoundtrack despite promoting the fact that series composer Nobuo Uematsu was returning to take up composition duties. Whenasked, we’d been told that they were waiting for the “right time” before releasing it, which I thought would be the launch of the PlayStation 3 version, but it looks likeA Realm Rebornis the event they were referring to....

Monster Hunter Wilds‘ character creation has certainly inspired players to create some amazing designs for their Hunters, and they have certainly taken their creativity to the next level. In the following list, you’ll find some of the best Hunter designs in my books. Thanks to the codes, you may use them pretty easily for your own Hunter design. Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher) Design code:PN5AL8K78EY5 There are some similarities between the worlds ofMonster HunterandThe Witcher, given that we hunt down monsters in both....

‘People sell used games all the time…We’re not trying to stop that.’ Early yesterday morning, Polygonreported thatBethesda had issued a cease and desist order to Amazon marketplace seller Ryan Hupp, for his listing of a sealed copy ofThe Evil Within 2. Bethesda’s case was that Hupp was not an “authorized reseller,” and that his sale of the game as new was “unlawful.” That issue seems to stem from the wording of “new” in the store description, since Bethesda is claiming Hupp should have the item listed as “used....

In a press release, Bethesda revealed the following release dates:Skyrim VRwill launch on November 17 (PlayStation VR);Doom VFRwill launch on December 1 (PlayStation VR and Vive); andFallout VRwill launch on December 12 (Vive)....

Beef…then chicken? I’m Guerrilla, an average 14-year-old high school girl that you’d find anywhere! I’m also your host for this edition of Comments of the Week! Guerrilla:Can’t argue with that… A politician in Rhode Island has proposed a ‘violent video game’ sales tax Kingdom Come: Deliverance has hit 500k in sales Guerrilla:I was starting to type out a comment…then I realised that I was literally repeating what Matt had already said....

Out now on PC, console versions coming ‘ASAP’ It looks like I’ll have to throwDead Cellsback in my rotation. The game got a freeBestiary updatetoday on PC that adds six new foes – three of which are limited to certain biomes, and three of which are “dispatched through various levels at different Boss Cells” – to help spice up the “common” enemy pool. Aside from adding three new secret outfits, the Bestiary update also has a pair of items to try out, if only for a cursoryDead Cellsrun....

Reach out and touch faith It’s been just over two years since the release of one of last gen’s most polarizing titles. Back in 2010, Capcom made a bold and wildly unexpected decision to hand one of its most-loved franchises to a Western developer, and ever since many people have been vocal about their opinion ofDmC Devil May Cry. A common topic for debate among fans of theDevil May Cryseries is the aftermath of Ninja Theory’s attempt at rebooting Capcom’s beloved action-brawler....

Spider-Man 2, the long-awaited numbered sequel to the 2018 monster hit, is finally upon us. As a PS5 exclusive, it’s also the first game in the series to not be released on the PS4. That doesn’t mean it’s the first game in the series to be released on PS5 though. The original game was remastered for PS5, andSpider-Man: Miles Moraleswas a PS5 launch title that also had a PS4 release....

While this technically isn’t our first glimpse at the in-game action ofDead Space 2— that award goes to this blurry, yet awesomefootage from PAX East— it might as well be. In it, we get to see a couple of new tricks, like Isaac’s ability to hover with some fancy jetboots. The puking Necromorph shows up too, as does a boss enemy that looks like it crawled out of aSilent Hillgame. I don’t know what its deal is, but I will say it already tops all ofDead Space‘s bosses in terms of sheer what-the-eff creepiness....
