More crumbs for the Elden Ring obsessed A known-about gamegetting a Steam pagefeels like the sort of headline we’d run in 2007, but screw it —it’sElden Ring. We’re allowed to be excited, and I genuinely am. Heck, Steameven tweetedabout it this afternoon. The store listing covers info you probably already know about — you’re a Tarnished one who must set out to explore the vast Lands Between on your magical steed, with spells to learn, challenging combat to master, and “huge” dungeons to delve into....

Not what I expected The image above is not the officialSplatoontimeline. It’s a goof created by a fan. Still, it shows that some people are already invested enough in the game to start pondering where it fits in the larger Nintendo universe, despite the fact that its not even out yet. It looks likeSplatoon‘s developers have been pondering that too, as revealed by some unlockable artwork from the game’s single player mode....

Chuck the pigskin As the resident Destructoid staff North Dakotan, I feel oddly obligated to report whenever there’s videogame news that can be tenuously tied to my home state. As such, the University of North Dakota had a recent applicant for its vacant football coach position who alluded to his extensive experience with theNCAAandMaddengames as his credentials to be considered as a serious candidate. In hiscover letter(that was, frankly, pretty great) Christopher McComas boasted that he used to dominate with the Buffalo Bills on Sega Genesis....

Cereza, my dear, watch and learn Platinum Games fans, rejoice!Bayonettawill be coming to the PlayStation Network on January 30 for $19.99. It’s safe to assume that this version will be the patched version of the PS3 game, due to the fact that the base versionsuffered from a number of issues at launch. As I’ve said many times before,Bayonettais my favorite action game outside ofDevil May Cry 3. I think from a technical action standpoint, the game is pure bliss, and challenges you unlike nearly any other action game of the past five years....

Whenever we introduceBioShock 2in a post, get ready to readBioShock 2: Sea of Dreamsagain. Previous reports of 2K stripping the catchy subtitle from the upcoming underwater adventure are false, according toEurogamer. Unfortunately, there’s not a snazzy quote. A 2K Games representative simply told Eurogamer that the subtitle was not pulled.
