Here are the nominees for Destructoid’s Game of the Show at E3 2017

The most impressive at a packed show If there’s one defining thing about E3 2017, I don’t think it’s the obvious answer: That this is the year the convention opened its doors to the public. That was notable, but it didn’t really change the show. It was more packed, yes, but this is clearly the direction things are headed. With some PAX-style crowd management, E3 might feel close to normal next year if they find a way to make everything less disorganized....

Here’s the Brotherhood of Steel in action in Fallout 76

Steel Dawn’s first trailer Big lugs lumbering around in their Power Armor, toting their laser beam-shooting gatling guns. That can mean only one thing. The Brotherhood of Steel is here to impose its will with a gruff attitude and self-righteous ideologies. And with big guns. Fallout 76‘s Bombs Drop Day is here (along with a whole in-game event), and it comes with the first official trailer for the upcomingSteel Dawnexpansion. That’s the update that finally brings the Brotherhood of Steel to Appalachia....

If it wasn’t obvious, a Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2 is likely on the way

The first volume oftheMetal Gear Solid: Master Collectionis finally out, and it collectsMetal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Snake’s Revenge, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, andMetal Gear Solid 3: SnakeEater(plus extras). Naturally, a lot ofMetal Geardiehards are ready for the next one: and we might know what a potential “volume 2” could entail! Leaked by way of the game’s Unity-based Master Collection launcher code (thanks Timo653), there are buried listings forMetal Gear Solid 4, Metal Gear Solid 5,andPeacewalker, all of which could make it into a subsequent volume 2 release....

If you aren’t playing AirMech, you’re really missing out

They did it. They finally got me seriously hooked on a free-to-play, browser-based game. With something that feels an awful lot like a modern take onHerzog Zwei, of all things. Before I know it, this crazy dream could end with me putting up real money to unlock pay-walled digital goods.The horror. The game I’m referring to here isAirMech, and the aforementioned “they” are Carbon Games, a studio made up of people who worked onFat Princess....

Interesting song choice, Space Hulk: Deathwing

Please turn out okay Oh, that’s right! The studio behind the eccentric cyberpunk shooterE.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancyis now making aWarhammer 40,000game calledSpace Hulk: Deathwing. That probably explains the atypical song selection (Kadebostany’s “Walking with a Ghost”) for this trailer. I’m curious to see how Streum On Studio will pull off first-person gunplay in the cramped corridors of a Space Hulk. The execution could easily fall flat. Then again,Deathwingis packing Terminator armor and psychic abilities, so I’m obligated by law to keep up with the game until release....

Koei Tecmo says Hyrule Warriors ‘sold much more than expected’ on Switch in the west

Right on Hyrule Warriorsis the gift that keeps on giving for Koei Tecmo. As Nintendo branched out for more third party partnerships they found a friend in Koei, as Omega Force and Team Ninja banded together to create an all-starsMusourendition of the world ofZelda. It was a huge hit on the Wii U, and subsequently was ported to the 3DS and the Switch. As we’re just finding out, it also did very well on the latter platform....

Lone Survival codes (July 2025)

Updated: June 24, 2025 Looked for new codes! I will say the name of the game is kinda deceitful since you’re not surviving alone. You’re on a server with 49 other people. You might be surviving alone, but you’re not SURVIVING alone; know what I mean? Well, at least they haveLone Survivalcodes if you get too lonely. These codes will grant you Credits that you can use at the store in the main menu....

Mafia III breaks 2K records, ships 4.5 million in a week

An offer you can’t refuse The Washington Postis reporting thatMafia IIIhas shipped 4.5 million copies in its first week on sale. This breaks records set by previous 2K games likeBorderlands,BioShock, andNBA 2K. This also makesMafia IIIthe fastest-selling game in 2K’s history, a feat which is mighty impressive considering the lackluster review scores. I’m not sure I understand howMafia IIIis its best-selling title, considering 2K is a subsidiary of Take-Two, which owns Rockstar Games, andGrand Theft Auto Vsold around $800 million worth of stock in a day, but this does represent something positive for game developers; don’t always go the safe route....

MAG gets a launch-day patch

PS3 exclusiveMAGwas released just today, and already a patch has been released. The game will automatically update when it’s crammed into your PS3, and it will allegedly fix issues that were discovered earlier this month. Whatever those issues are, they’ll be fixed. Isn’t that nice? The only noticeable problem I discovered while playingMAGfor ourcomplaint-magnet reviewwere a number of graphical glitches such as corpses that did Michael J Fox impersonations. None of them really affected my enjoyment of the game, but if they’re being dealt with, that’ll be fabulous....

Meat Boy shirts on 360 avatars, and Spelunky on Meat Boy?

This post is half solid, half rumor. The part about the Meat Boy shirts coming to Xbox 360 avatars is definitely legit. This image, spotted onSuper Meat Boy‘s twitter, is the real deal. The second part part of this post is probably equally legit, but due to my super-serious journalistic standards, I’ll have call it a rumor for now. Though I doubt DIY Gamer’s would lie in reporting of aSpelunkysighting inSuper Meat Boy, until I see it myself, I can’t be 100%....
