Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion We knew thatAdventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridionexisted, but thanks to a new trailer from developer Outright Games, we have a better idea of what it looks like and how it plays. The idea is that you’re free to explore the game’s Land of Ooo realm from the series as four characters (Marceline, Finn, Jake, BMO) as you partake in combat and exploration.Piratespromises some form of progression system along with on-brand humor and charm, a lofty goal for a franchise that’s really lacking when it comes to many of its gaming adaptations for the past decade or so....

They’re bloody everywhere now In case you hadn’t already picked upPsychonautswhen it was available on the Xbox 360, the PS3, or Steam, you’ll be pleased to hear it’s soon to make its way to the PS4. Or maybe not, I don’t know. If you haven’t bought it yet what are the chances you really care? Community manager James Spafford made the announcement earlier today on thePlayStation blog, further shoving this once cult hit into the garish spotlight....

A beautiful and creepy puzzle platformer PAX East had a ton of indie games on display this year, and whilemany of them looked great, only a handful stopped me dead in my tracks as I became mesmerized by what was happening on-screen. The Swapperwas one such game, a Metroidvania-style platformer with a mechanic that reminded me somewhat ofThe Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottomwhere you have to create multiple versions of yourself in order solve puzzles....

Speechless. That’s what I was when Neversoft’s Brian Bright present to a crowd of a journalist’sGuitar Hero: Warrior of Rock’s “Quest Mode” just prior to E3. But now, it’s kind of growing on me. Yeah, it’s ridiculous. Yeah, it’s over the top. Sure, it’s got aBrutal Legendvibe that most gamers might not be able to shake. (Hell, they both likely draw from similar metal history influences.) But this might be a case where the Dumb Van might have just enough gas to make its way past StupidTown, where it makes its final stop in AwesomeVille....

The Decks keep rolling out Valve has once again beaten its estimates for Steam Deck reservations. Today, the companyconfirmsit has sent all reservations for the Q3 window. The Q3 bucket, ranging from July to September, is slightly ahead of pace and so Valve is already getting a head-start on Q4. Thestore’s already been updatedwith a new description, as it extends from September on through December. The Deck manufacturer announced in July that it has been fulfilling demandsooner than estimatedfor the portable PC....

Fellow Destructoid editor Qais Fulton and I share a burning love for most things Star Trek ( I say most because I can’t bring myself to enjoyEnterprise— sorry, fans), and while I know I instantly lose cool points for admitting to loving the often-schlocky series, what can I say — it’s a guilty pleasure. We all have them, and I’d guess that some of yours are much, much more embarrassing than my love of all things Klingon....

InSuper Mario Bros. Wonder, you’ll find a total of 24 different Badges to equip. Each of these adds a new perk to Mario’s moveset, ranging from active abilities to passive effects. Even if you don’t use all the Badges,collecting them all is required to obtain one of the Medals on your save file. So for those looking to obtain 100% completion, you’ll need to obtain every badge. Fortunately, unlocking all the badges inSuper Mario Bros....

Put it all on black A little over a decade ago, Midway – a company spiraling towards bankruptcy – dropped a trailer for what could have been, should have been its saving grace.This Is Vegaswould be an open-world title set in Sin City where gaming’s most generic-ass looking mother fucker could do all the things fans of open-world games love to do: fight, gamble, race, and dance like nobody is watching....

Call it an early present For once, the most exciting part of Xbox’s Games with Gold comes not from a new release but from a very old release. It’s the Xbox 360 and not the Xbox One that’s the star of the show. Xbox has announcedDecember’s Games with Gold, and 2008’sBurnout Paradiseis free and backward compatible next month. This is particularly notable becauseBurnout Paradiseis largely considered to be one of the best open-world racing games of all-time, and it has been one of the most oft-requested backward compatible additions since the program’s reveal at E3 2015....

Are there even 10 Yoshi games worth talking about? Let’s find out! Yoshi has been a mainstay of theSuper Mariouniverse ever since the portly red-hatted plumber hatched his egg inSuper Mario Worldfor the SNES. An instant hit with fans, Yoshi would go on to star in his own series of games, starting with the NES and Game Boy puzzlerYoshi. It wasn’t the best start for the dino, but Yoshi’s subsequent solo outings would be a heck of a lot better....

A bunch of Massachusetts high school students — obviously idealists, too young to be dragged down by cynicism and misanthropy, bless ’em —have attackedtheCall of Dutyfranchise. Somewhat late to the party, the animal lovers object to killing dogs for entertainment. Even though, obviously, these dogsdon’t really exist. “Killing dogs as a form of entertainment … over and over again,” claims the Animal Rights Club president, not worried about misrepresenting the facts or anything....

Veteran mode is scary enough, thanks We were only just chatting about overly harsh difficulty modes last week with Naughty Dog’sBrutal optionforUncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, and now here’s Treyarch with a grueling addition toCall of Duty: Black Ops IIIto contrast the campaign’sunlocked level structure. With Realistic difficulty, “you have one point of life, so if you’re shot once, you’re dead,” director Jason Blundell toldXbox Achievements, adding that you’ll have to survive as a group....
