And lots more In our positive review ofNBA Playgrounds, we pointed out that it’s an enjoyable game but that it’s enjoyable despite of a glut of problems. Probably the most concerning dealt with shooting the rock. Players have unique shooting animations andNBA Playgroundsasks that youreleasethe shoot button at the right moment while never really knowing when that right moment is. It leads to a weird disconnect where NBA legends blow simple layups and dunks....

It’s a bit of an understatement to say thatProject Zomboidis a fairly gimmicky gamein some respects. Not in a bad way, of course, because it wouldn’t be nearly as popular as it were. The way it handles spawning, for example, isn’t apparent at all at a glance. While youcandisable zombie (re)spawning during the Sandbox scenario creation process, the default state of the game is such that it eventually replenishes the undead populations after you’ve culled them....

Rumors for the Wii U are a dime a dozen, and not all of them agree. The latest seems to go against the idea that it will be on par with current consoles from Sony and Microsoft, suggesting it will still be weaker than the competition. “No, it’s not up to the same level as the PS3 or the 360,” an anonymous developer toldGI.biz. “The graphics are just not as powerful....

Directed by Eli Roth… wait, what? I never readThe House with the Clock in its Wallswhen I was kid, but I vividly remember its cover for some reason. It has the same “scarier than the actual book” feel as those illustrations fromScary Stories to Tell in the Darkbooks. The new movie based on the book does not have those feelings looking at this trailer, but it is directed by Eli Roth so maybe it could....

From Valkyria Chronicles to Total War By now, you might own quite a few of the games featured in thisHumble Sega Strategy Bundle, but there’s enough here, at such a low price, that it may still be worth considering.

Not to be that devil on your shoulder encouraging you to add more titles than you need to your Steam library, but that deal is stupidly good....

At first, the concept of “video game configuration” might seem daunting to less-seasoned players, but in no time, everyone seemingly becomes quite versed in changing settings that they don’t like. It’s like a little ritual: boot up a new game, head immediately to the Settings tab, and start checking, unchecking, and tinkering with certain modifiers. What are the settings that most of us immediately change to fit our needs and taste as soon as we try out a new game?...

Today’s just another day for it — steamrolling wallets completely flat in 24-hour shifts. Take Nancy Reagan’s advice, kids. Just say no to the Steam Summer Sale.

Check out everything Destructoid did today Who ever thought Blanka was such a bane of society? I mean, he’s always been a pain in the ass to fight against, but why does he have to go around punching innocent people off of logs? At any rate, it’s at least hilarious. On the first Monday after E3, Microsoft is still trying to figure out what their own policies regarding the Xbox One are, Nintendo is adamant in not dropping the Wii U’s price, the 3DS was the best-selling console in May, and a good amount of other things happened on 03-07-2025....

BioShock Infinite moves 878,000 copies Yesterday, Hamza popped up and screamed “Told you!” to our staff. And he was right. Not too long ago he said that miserable gameThe Walking Dead: Survival Instinctwould do better than we’d expect it to. In NPD’s March 2013 sales data the game ranks number 9 on the list of the top ten best selling games of the month. That’s the power of licensing, folks....
