[With apologies to Billy Joel] Soul Sacrificewas certainly one of the biggest games at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. I had a chance to play it on the show floor and, well, I’m confused. Demos are always a little bit confusing because you’re often going in cold on a game. Then, add the language barrier by playing a Japanese demo and it gets a little trickier, and I know that I’ve missed (or misunderstood) a lot of things by playing it....

These games were short and sweet, priced at the even sweeter point of $2-$3 each. It looks like they’re Switch-bound, as Hörberg shared over Twitter that the porting project was going well: “Ok I finally did it....

Fill in the blank: “Controller? ______” Look, we know the reason that you keep coming back to Destructoid is for the hot updates on controller cord length.

Warning! This review contains SPOILERS for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 7.There is only one episode ofThe Walking Dead: Dead Cityseason 2 left, and I think the finale could be the best of the season.
