Burn it all to the ground No! No, no, no! We were doing so well,Star Wars Battlefront. We had thatopen betathat anyone could play, with nothing locked behind a pre-order wall. Gameplay looked like fun, and we got a bunch ofamusing clipsout of it. There’s even thatDarth Vader PS4that a lot of people seemed to like. But, all that glitters is not gold. We’re starting to see the Dark Side ofBattlefront, and it comes in the form of a $50 season pass....

It’s a metaphor for life! I usedSuper Mario Makerto drive one of my good friends into the arms of alcoholism. When Myles Cox (the Destructoid Video Boywho had his day) and I workshopped the idea that would become the Coximano Challenge, we figured it would be mostly some good-natured competition — not this. Anything but this. Anyway, this is a new video series where the two of us go head-to-head in video games....

It must be because of the ‘free’ in the title, right? I’m glad thatThe Denpa Menfranchise is still around. While it wasn’t the best set of games on the already crowded 3DS eShop, it was a cute enough series, and I would like to see the little guys live on in some form. It looks like developer Genius Sonority has attained that goal, with its newly mintedThe Denpa Men RPG Free!...

Better yet, the game’s Heroes mode has four-person teams of these all-stars fighting one another.

Create the most eccentric lineup of heroes and test their skills inTrainer Battle RNG. Look, I like Gojo as much as all theJujutsu Kaisengirls, but rolling him nine times in a row was overkill.
