Brian Crecente — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:00:00 EDT

SOCOM has always been a great shooter. It has also always had wonderful ways to humiliate the people to take down with headshots, shotgun blasts and pew, pew, pewing. More »

This man is playing Dance Central, a dancing video game for the Xbox 360's Kinect sensor. He's at Boston's PAX East gaming convention. He is dancing to Bell Biv Devoe's Poison, a song that taught children of the 90s never to trust a big butt and a smile. More »

Braid Becomes, Of Course, Interpretive Dance

Luke Plunkett — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 05:00:00 EDT

Some of the more crass video games, those for the unwashed masses, are turned into cartoons, or motion pictures. Something with ambitions as lofty as Braid, though, was never going to settle for such a low-brow adaptation. More »

BioWare Wants You To Dance, Fools

Mark Wilson — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 12:40:44 EST

Anyone who has played Mass Effect remembers the Flux night club...and the horridly asynchronous butt contortions that your otherwise smooth-operating character would engage in at said locale following the mistimed touch of a button. Now BioWare wants to bring that fun to the small screen with user-submitted videos. You tape yourself doing the "Flux dance" and—if you "win"—you score some sweet swag. Note that we put "win" in the quotes only because, well, you're embarrassing yourself on the internet for a few bucks of gear. But at least this time you'll (hopefully) have your clothes on. More »

Games Are The New Rock 'n' Roll

Brian Ashcraft — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 09:22:43 EST

Rock 'n' Roll. Video games. Kindred Spirits. Parents and politicians have targeted both, blaming them for society's ills. That's not the only thing they have in common. Hit titles like Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero or Lumines show how profitable marrying games and music can be. Rocker Dave Navarro sums it up: More »

Dave Perry Announces DANCE!

kotaku.com — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 07:00:52 EDT

As a gay albino African-Irishman, you just know I have rhythm. If you've ever read Voltaire, you might recall Candide's description of what happened when Cunegonde stripped naked: every bystander fell to the ground in epileptic seizures of ecstasy. Well, that doesn't happen when I expose my mottled, creepy pink flesh, but when I get naked and hit the DDR mat? Everyone becomes my ho. More »

The game supports the EyeToy and hits on Sept. 26. I put the partial song list up for the game on the jump for you DDR freaks out there. Brian Crecente More »

Gun Play Gets Experimental

Gun Play Gets Experimental" alt="Click here to read Gun Play Gets Experimental" src="http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/images/9/2006/01/gunface-thumb.jpg"/>

A dance troupe will be putting on an "ode" to firearms in a performance they are calling "a live-action videogame." Gun Play, they say, is inspired by the American obsession with guns and gun violence and will include actors portraying real people such as Hunter S. Thompson and John Carmack interacting in an environment created by projecting pictures on a wall. Chocolate Factory likes to call it an immersive 3D videogame. I like to call it pedantic tripe, but I'm not a big fan of experimental dance mostly because it's crap. More »
