I must admit: I still playDraw Something, albeit only with the few loyal friends that I have left (thanks Chad!).Like millions of others, most of the people on my friends list flocked to basically anything else, avoiding the game like the plague — some users cited Zynga as the cause. Well, the saga of Zynga’s evil mobile influence continues, as it’s been a paltry month and a half, and it seems that the real reason forZynga’s OMGPop acquisitionis out on the table: ad spots....

Pocket Paddies The adorable but mischievous Princess Sakuna, titular star of farming RPGSakuna: Of Rice and Ruinis definitely making her presence felt here and there. We recently reported on the harvest goddess’snew Pop-Up Parade figurine, as well as her crossover appearance inStory of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, and this week brings news of both a new toy and a second guest appearance. You love to see it! First up, Good Smile Co....

The Total Rush Team 2 players will soon be available atEA FC 25, and some have already been leaked on social media. It’s already confirmed that we will get a second team for the ongoing promo, replacing the Team 1 cards in packs. While EA Sports remains tight-lipped about which footballers will get unique cards, the leaks have already gone live on social media platform X. While the information should always be taken with a grain of salt, Team 2 is rumored to include some absolute bangers....

From an unexpected, free add-on to a battle royale The new season ofApex Legendslaunched last week, and with it came the surprise addition of the“Broken Ghost” quest, a new solo or cooperative multiplayer experience meant to flesh out the back story for its league of mass-murdering gladiators. And while the season began last week, it wasn’t until this week that we got to dip into the game mode and see what it’s all about....

I’d love to see this game thrive On May 24, the 2D MOBAAwesomenautsis finally, thankfully going free-to-play. That’s a while from now, though. Why make the announcement so early? Ronimo is gearing up for the free-to-play transition with a beta update for current players available today, April 26. What to expect: According to the studio, “Nobody will lose any content during this transition. Existing players will automatically have all the content they previously owned unlocked....

Da-ba-dee da-ba-dow Bandai Namco has registered an ambiguous trademark for something called “Blue Bullet Pride.” The mystery IP was filed and confirmed in Japan earlier this month, before beingmade public this morning. As noted by Gematsu, there is little in the way of clues as to whatBlue Bullet Priderepresents. Bandai Namco Japan was working on an online action-RPG known asBlue Protocol, so there are similarities there, but that title has been quiet since an announcement made during theBandai Namco Studio Creators’ Nightlive stream — which was held way back in the fall of 2021....

Hi gang, once again I’m holding down the fort while much of the staff are out of the office, which is why I’m covering Aaron Linde’sBargain Bin Ladenpost for today. I’m very pleased to be able to write it this week as well, for it gives me the chance to talk about a game that may very well enjoy a place in Mr. Anthony’sgames that time forgot. Not only is it an utter classic, it’s also quite tragically less than known in the gaming world, despite being one of the most hardcore, challenging and above all, amusing games of the last generation....

Watch this trailer. If Ubisoft is to be believed, it foretells the coming of a new dawn, a heretofore unknown ecstasy known asThe Black Eyed Peas Experience. Gaze upon the majesty of The Black Eyed Peas and know that they alone hold the key to the ultimate dance party in their inexplicably fashionable pockets. Maybe I’ve embellished a bit, but how could I be anything but excited? They used “hottest” twice in that trailer and did so in such a way as to create a point of near-infinite heat....

Purchasers of the digital version ofDiablo IIIwill now be able to progress past level 13 and the game’s first Act,according to Blizzard. These restrictions were an “unintended consequence” of the studio’ssecurity measuresput in place to “help ensure the integrity of the game and auction house service.” Of course, there are still other restrictions on those aforementioned players until payment verification can be completed by Blizzard. Once again, they are: Still unfortunate to see, but not quite as aggravating....

Stretchy pirates punching fire pirates Hey lovely Destructoid reader. It’s time to eat some magic forbidden fruit, become a super powerful magic pirate, and spend the next decade of your life looking for a specific piece of treasure so you can be the king of the pirates. I think that’s the plot ofOne Piece, right? Last week, Destructoid got to sit down with the versus mode forOne Piece: Burning Bloodon PS4, and captured a bunch of direct feed footage of the game....

More MMO influences arrive Look, the word MMO is thrown around a lot these days as a buzzword, sometimes in the case ofDestiny. Although it has MMO-likefeatures, I wouldn’t consider six-person squad-based shooter with a hub world an MMO. Similar toDiabloandPhantasy Star Online, they mostly lack that first M, “massive.” But I do like the genre-creep though, especially when it comes to the focus on high-end loot, endgame, and raids.Speaking to IGN, Bungie divulged a bit more information on the latter, noting that it will feature multiple mission types and not just singular boss fights likeBorderlandstraditionally features....

Into the Breach Into the Breachleaves nothing to chance, nothing to luck. It tells you exactly what it’s going to do, all the while daring you to stop it. And most of the time you may’t. How frustrating yet fair. Into the Breachis Subset Games’FTLfollowup, and it’s every bit the hallmark of excellence as its predecessor. It’s deceptively simple. Three mechs need to stop aliens from destroying a power grid. Easy enough, this is the exact sort of fight video games have always trained us for....
