As part of The Game Awards 2023, House House, the developers ofUntitled Goose Game,have revealedBig Walk, a game about… friendship? I don’t even know what to say about this. Steam page to the rescue. Apparently,Big Walkis “a cooperative multiplayer adventure about teamwork and talking.” Oh! Those two things. Okay, let’s look at the trailer. I guess that is self-explanatory. Maybe. It just doesn’t seem like much. Let’s go back to the Steam store page: “Adventuring aside, there’s plenty of time to just hang out....

Vergil has always been one of the best parts of this series What are some of my favorite moments in any game, ever? Well,Devil May Cry 3steals awaymultipleslots for me. The rush of figuring out that a second player can pick up and play Vergil alongside of Dante in that pivotal moment near the end of the game? Priceless. The humanoid confrontation with Vergil at the very end that showcases some of the best aspects ofDevil May Cry‘s combat?...

Today is special for two obvious reasons. Both Niero and Destructoid are a day older, two pretty solid reasons for drinking and general joviality. So I sort of feel a little bit sorry for theBritish Academy Video Game Awards— the gaming BAFTAs — which also happen tonight. That’s just poor planning, BAFTA. Irish comedian Dara O Briain is hosting the show, so at the very least it should be funny and relevant to gaming....

The videogame musical gang Random Encounters released a new song entitled “The Best We Can Be: A Princess Peach Musical.” Obviously, it centers on good ol’ Princess Toadstool and her various political and charitable acts as ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. But the amazing part is the girl playing Peach, cosplayerAnji Viper. That is her legit singing voice. Holy crap! You go, gurl! Way to hit those high notes! She could hold her own against the ladies of Disney!...

The greatest videogame site ever,Forbes, is reporting that Xbox Live Primetime will not be coming this November with the New Xbox Experience.

What could possibly go wrong? This month’s Xbox update is set to roll out later today and features a slew of new features. Among the most significant are Mixer co-streaming and the ability to upload custom Gamerpics, a feature I’m sure won’t be abused in any way. Major Nelson implores everyone to keep it clean and stick to the code of conduct. Here’s a list of the new features you can start enjoying once the update has rolled out:...

My Blood Elf Demon Hunter made it in, and a Blizzard employee handed the figure to me after the closing ceremonies for a closer look. Upon inspection, this looks likea near 1:1 re-creation of my character. The horns are exact, the shoulder pads are the same, it has the same bandana/mask, and the same belt....

Permanently benched Without any prior notice, Saber Interactive has removedNBA Playgroundsfrom all digital storefronts. The delisting was noticed bya Reddit userfor the eShop version before confirming it had disappeared from each digital shop. I suppose the reasoning has to do with poor critical reception and the sequel,NBA 2K Playgrounds 2, just launching.
