The late season of 2020 and early 2021 seems to have a lot of Open World/Sandbox games coming out so we thought we'd take a look back to the years following GTA3 and the glut of Open World games that came out from that revolutionary idea. What good ideas came from all this and what franchises deserve another look? We also discuss: Doom Eternal Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part One Cyberpunk an...

The next horror game we cover on our October run through scary games is one propped up by a flurry of gimmicks that all sort of worked out in Silicon Knights' favor. The right console at the right time with the right type of coverage gave birth to a gaming classic in Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. One of the few shining gems in the Gamecube library. We also discuss: NBA 2K21 Phasmophobia Gens...

A lot of people have positive memories of the NES game Battletoads. Especially in the wake of the brand new 2020 sequel game release. But is this love well deserved? The game has a massive amount of variety but does it love it's ideas enough to stand on them in the games pacing and design? I think that's a question to be answered this week on VideoDestruct.  We also discuss: DC Fandome Gotham...

An amount of good will was built up during this time between Microsoft and the consumer because of the quick response to the dreaded Red Ring of Death overheating problem but was ultima...

The Splinter Cell series is a classic but recently absent franchise in the Ubisoft library and wasn't necessarily a revolution in stealth game play but did help to incorporate elements of many stealth games and over time become a staple in the realm of stealth games in general.
