Iron rusts… poorly designed fish I’ve mentioned thison Destructoid before, but I’ve had bad experiences with water and for some reason that’s transferred into a fear of eels. Those little fuckers freak me out. So developer BeefJack and designer Dean Edwards have decided the best thing to do is to make a “psychological deep-sea thriller set 11 kilometers below the ocean’s surface” with their new game on Steam Greenlight,Iron Fish.I don’t know if I’ve angered these people, but boy do they want me to never sleep again....

For those looking for a powerful, Ground-Type alternative to Earthquake, High Hosepower might be up your alley. On one hand, it is both five points weaker than Earthquake in power and five points less accurate. However, it compensates by having no secondary effects, like potentially hitting a partner Pokemon for serious damage. This gives High Horsepower an interesting niche, and now you can teach it inPokemon Scarlet & Violetvia TM 186....

Podtoid something-something records tonight. Anthony is too busy petting Zebras in the wild safari ofFar Cry 2to bother with a post this afternoon. In fact,he tweeted that we weren’t going to. But I, like a responsible individual, am making sure our usual routine is observed. Zebra love will never get between me the listeners of Podtoid. Take that to the bank.

Taking precautions Almost four weeks after PS4 and Xbox One players have been zipping and stabbing around Victorian London, PC users will finally get their chance withAssassin’s Creed Syndicate. Until then, they have to lurk in the shadows, waiting for their opportunity to strike. Ubisoft announced today that the PC version is being pushed back a little bit.Syndicatereleases on October 23 on consoles, but not until November 19 on PC.

Raids were also not a common practice in MMOs, so that was a pretty big selling point....

In a bizarre turn of events many elements that came standard withDestiny 1years ago, or can be patched into major AAA games in a matter of days with hotfixes, are now “stretch goals” forDestiny 2....

Oh,Mortal Kombat. Though you were pretty much created as a cheap American answer to theStreet Fightercraze of the 90s, you became so much more. You were a landmark title in the game industry: You gave us beautiful fatalities, graphics that were stunning and shockingly realistic for their time, and helped to spark the birth of the rating system all games now use. But, like any great success, you had your share ofripoffsimitators trying to ride the bloody wave of your awesomeness, like the obscure, and probably better left forgottenTattoo Assassins....

Alright then Dead or Alive 5 Last Roundwon’t hit its original July 29, 2025 release on PC, as Koei Tecmo has pushed the game to March 30 “[i]n order to provide you with the best possible experience…” To that end, the company is giving away the Halloween 2013 costume set to everyone who buysLast Roundon Steam. That’s 28 outfits, many of them predictably scandalous. Frankly, I’ve got a feelingthe portwon’t be without its issues, delay or no delay, but let’s shelve that thought until launch....
