GR writes: "For the past few months gamers have been busy comparing the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as if theyre the only two contenders of next-gen. Not only are they not, theyre a distraction from the platform that has been alive for longer than most gamers: the PC. PC gaming might have fallen from the top of the totem pole just over a decade ago, but during its time of struggle it was refined. Today, millions of gamers across the globe consider it their primary platform, and thats only the beginning."

"Prime World: Defenders is the newest release from independent developer Nival. The game is one of three games that currently makes up the Prime World universe. While Prime World: Alchemy is a free-to-play, match three puzzle game for mobile and Prime World is an upcoming role-playing strategy title with player versus player modes, Prime World: Defenders is a game completely different from the other Nival titles that combines elements of a collectible card game with tower defense mechanics."

Welcome to another edition of Dtoid's Friday Night Fights!

We had a cool little thing planned for y'all tonight, but had to postpone it at the last minute because reasons happened. (Don't worry, you'll get it next week instead. You'll get it hard.) So pressed for time and lacking in inspiration, I did what I always do: browsed through my albums of sexy, sexy Dtoiders and selected one at random.

So enjoy this picture of Dtoid community team member Conor Elsea being assaulted by (left to right) Beccy Cain, Swishiee, JJMcCallum, Gobun, and yours truly. Enjoy it hard.

During an earnings call, Mad Catz CEO Darren Richardson announced that the “micro console” would be further unveiled during E3, but we do know that it will play any Android games right out of the box. In typical Android fashion, it will be totally open, with anyone able to put their software up on the store.

A juxtaposition of emotions washed over me whilst playing The Swapper; the unbridled joy of solving a seemingly impossible puzzle delicately balanced with the gloomy, almost melancholic atmosphere of my decaying surroundings. It is an emotional state that doesnt quite subside throughout the duration of the game. Hinging progression on the creation and sometimes, the sacrifice - of duplicates of the protagonist creates a bitter-sweet moment that few games can rival.

DT:Rising Storm needs a bit more polishing and a few more updates to really shine, but as it stands it's an excellent escape for old-school FPS fans. If you were a hardcore fan of Heroes of Stalingrad, this is basically an expansion in the Pacific with more gameplay you know and love. For everyone else, take a look if you enjoy tactical FPS action once more of the bugs are ironed out.

Chris Macaulay of TheKoalition writes: As a fan of Crusader Kings 2, and a longtime follower of Paradox Entertainment, I was very eager to dive into the newest DLC, The Old Gods. Somewhere between an expansion and a DLC, The Old Gods adds new content for Crusader Kings 2 by adding considerable flavor to the pagan faiths in Medieval Europe (and the Near East), with special attention given to the Norse and to a lesser extent the Zoroastrians.

Ginx:The world of Metro was first written into being by Dimitri Glukovsky in his novel Metro 2033, and adapted into a complex but flawed first person shooter by developers 4A games. Now, Metro Last light picks up where it left off, following the story of young ranger Artyom once more. For the first hour newcomers will be playing catch up, as they begin to understand the politics, people and stations of the metro but once they are immersed in this dense world, there will be no escape. Its a plot that ranges in quality of writing and clarity, but in atmosphere and detail its unbeatable. Showing the kind of maturity that few games ever reach, its portrayal of the dangers of extreme ideologies, and the atrocities that man is able to commit in the name of ignorance is startlingly well observed.

It isn't often that a developer works in tandem with the modding community to deliver a product, but that's exactly what happened with Tripwire Interactive's Rising Storm, the follow-up standalone expansion for Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad .

In a joint effort to deliver World War II action on the Pacific front, the two forces united to produce a product worth of the Red Orchestra name. They mostly succeeded, but not without a few sacrifices.

We got a look at the trailer for the upcoming Sonic Lost World , but now you can feast your eyes on three whole levels and the 3DS version, compliments of a video preview from IGN. You're basically getting a full look at the game here, with almost thirty minutes of footage total -- in short, it's like Mario Galaxy meets Sonic.

If the 3DS version is your huckleberry, there are three videos below for it as well. I have to say, although this is typical "Sonic Cycle" fashion wishful thinking, that Lost World looks great. I'm not even sure what version I prefer at this point, but both the GamePad and 3D effects sound enticing. Keep your eye on this one -- I'm sure nothing will go wrong, right?

The E3 2013 Trailer of DARK.

Asian sensation Adam WarRock is a pretty chill dude. Our own Tara Long of course loves him to pieces, but it was I who managed to score a brotastic fist bump at last year's Nerdapalooza in Orlando. He's so skilled, he can turn literally anything into hip hop -- hell, he made an entire EP based on the mockumentary show Parks and Recreation ! How does he do it?

Adam has offered a new song for exclusive download on Destructoid. Using the beat from the Raz Fresco track "Phony Ones," he whipped up "Basic Braining," an homage to the other Raz, star of Double Fine's Psychonauts. If you've got love for the house that Tim Schafer built, I think you'll enjoy this track.

You can grab "Basic Braining" for free over here. Can ya dig it?

Next week, LittleBigPlanet 2 , inFAMOUS 2 , and Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One will exit PlayStation Plus' Instant Game Collection. Don't wait until the last minute if you want any of them in your library. Do, however, prepare for some excellent replacements: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception , XCOM: Enemy Unknown , and LittleBigPlanet Karting .

Need I remind that these three games join Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Saints Row: The Third, Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward, Machimarium, and God Eater Burst this month for Plus members. That's one hell of a lineup unless you're some sort of game-playing automaton like our very own Chris Carter. Even then, you still have to give Sony a nod.

"OmniGamer Writes" Darkwood is a 2D, top down survival horror game set in a forest somewhere in Eastern Europe during an alternate 20th century. It has a big emphasis on, surprisingly enough, survival and horror, and the developers (Acid Wizard Studio) have stated that they want to create a true balance between the two. This currently-alpha game is brimming with potential, and here are just a few reasons to be excited about Darkwood.

GR: When will the zombie craze end? Avid GameRevolution readers know full well that I absolutely loved Telltale's The Walking Dead, but what may not be readily apparent to everyone is that my affinity toward that five-episode game experience had nothing to do with an interest in the zombie apocalypse, despite the fact that I also happen to enjoy the AMC television series. What truly sucked me into that experience was its well-crafted narrative and memorable characters. While Undead Lab's third-person, action-heavy XBLA title State of Decay may feature zombies, it lacks the aforementioned elements that drew me into the first season of TWD.

Any Borderlands 2 fan knows that Gearbox Software regularly hands out SHiFT Codes for golden keys inside the popular co-op shooter. According to a comment by Randy Pitchford, the Gearbox Software President revealed that the developer has discussed the idea of selling golden keys for real money in the past. Pitchford is clearly against the idea of monetizing loot inside Borderlands 2 as he stated, Im not sure Im ready to cross that line.

Developer Flippfly is still hard at work with the indie game Race the Sun , and progress seems to be coming along nicely. The newest self titled "experiment" for the game is a relay mode, which is basically a multiplayer of sorts. After death, you can press the "share" button to initiate a relay through a hyperlink.

You can share this hyperlink with anyone, which offers private play sessions or public sessions (sharing over social media). The "relay" itself differentiates from the core game by allowing players to alternate areas of increasing difficulty, which crescendos into a more intense run for a combined "team" score of up to four players. If you have the beta, you can access this free update now.

If you're interested, the blog post that explains the relay system also a bit of developer insight as to how hard it is to update, develop, and experiment with your game with a two man team.

While the Serious Sam franchise is repeatedly discounted, I'm not sure I've come across a better deal than this Humble Weekly Sale. It's pay-what-you-want pricing for Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter, Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, Serious Sam Double D, Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack!, and Serious Sam Public Test 2.

Putting in more than $1 will award you Steam keys, while beating the average unlocks Serious Sam II and Serious Sam 3: BFE . Does anyone need this much Sam in their life? Well, yes -- of course! There's also the fact that this will "help contribute to the production of Croteam's next project" which is none other than Serious Sam 4. What, no subtitle?

Capcom has unveiled new footage of the upcoming Resident Evil Revelations DLC characters Lady Hunk and Rachel Ooze in the form of two trailers. You'll get an extensive look at them in action, doing their thing exclusively in the game's Raid Mode, which basically means you'll just watch them shoot up a bunch of monsters.

The DLC will launch on June 11th on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, and on the Wii U on June 12th for $2.99 per character. All of the game's add-ons are brand new, as the 3DS game had absolutely no DLC to speak of. The designs themselves are...weird to say the least. But extra Raid Mode/Mercenaries characters are always a plus for me given the variety of loadouts and gameplay styles, so I'm fine with it.
