I’m fine admitting that I lack the kind of dazzling imagination needed todesign impressive shipsinStarfield. But what about purchasing one? If you need to upgrade inStarfield, I recommend hitting up Neon and asking about the Class C spaceship, The Narwhal. Starfieldhas many ships you can purchase or acquire for free. In fact, some of the game’s best ships comeat the end of a quest— with no money down! But if you’re looking for an option that’s both powerfulandthemed after an ocean mammal, you might be a little odd....

Appetite for destruction: Tiny and Big out now for PC/Mac

Tiny and Big: Grandpa’s Leftoverscaught my eye when it was first announced what feels like many moons ago. It has sincebeen refined, but the core hook — using a laser to slice up structures and watching asphysicsensue — remains very much appealing to me. The unique art style doesn’t hurt, either. The name is more than a little odd and might not necessarily grab your attention, so I figured we could help spread the word that it’savailable right nowon a variety of digital distribution platforms, including GOG....

Community Love: 100 Reasons to blog at Destructoid

One community member, 100 community blogs Depending on who you ask, one hundred blogs is either a huge number or an impossibly small number. It probably depends on how long they’ve been doing it, and whether or not they’re asshats whose online handles start with Z that can put out a fifth the length of a novel in a single blog. Not that I’m saying I know anyone like that or anything....

Another Clueless Gamer segment It sure seems like Conan O’Brien’s pumping out a fair number ofClueless Gamer segmentslately. I suppose that’s what happens in the midst of the madness of the holiday release season and publishers trip over themselves to hire the late night funny man to promote their games. His latest victim isAssassin’s Creed Unity. Conan took no time to call little apple thief Arno Dorian out on being a curse to his fathers....

Who actually wants to relive high school? It’s back to reality with this contest for a PS4 copy ofThe Caligula Effect: Overdose!

High school was just four years of my life where I was starting to have some semblance of independence while trying to figure out how to be a responsible human. While I feel for people who remember it as either the best or worst time of their life, one thing is for certain — I don’t want to go back....

Destructoid review: God of War: Chains of Olympus

I guess I shouldn’t be complaining that it was less than a year ago that I was sitting down to write a review ofGod of War II. Like the first game on the PlayStation 2, I loved the sequel, and was pretty thrilled to hear (immediately upon release ofGod of War II, actually) that Ready at Dawn were hard at work on a portable Kratos adventure for the PlayStation Portable. When it comes to all things ashen and baldy, I’m optimistic, especially considering Ready at Dawn’s impressive portable Daxter adventure....
