Post-Apocalyptic Settings for Games Are Cool Urban Wastelands
WorldWorks Games has a set of tabletop gaming sets that would make the perfect setting for a mutant raid on a gas station, or for an I Am Legend scenario. [io9]

Crecente Plays Football
NaturalMotion is currently working on a new next-gen football game called Backbreaker for next year. One of the features of the game will be the ability to assign your own colors, logos and names to your team's players. So, to show off the feature, the folks at NM threw together a little Kotaku team featuring our signature pink and green colors and our own Crecente as Quarterback. I don't know what's funnier, the pink uniforms or the thought of anyone on the Kotaku team (with the possible exception of Fahey and Luke) playing football. -

Kotaku Originals: From Blackballs To Ice Castles
It has been a dramatic week here at Kotaku Tower. But, the drama seems to have spawned a huge lot of Kotaku Originals. Denver wants to ban M rated game ads, McWhertor braves the ice and snow for SSX Blur, Sony dis-invites Kotaku , then dis-dis-invites us and yet somehow we still manage to give away a PS3. More » -

Sponsors Thanks
Two things are necessary to ring in the New Year: Top hats and Sponsors. We've spent all morning rummaging around Kotaku Tower for our top hats (they were under our coat-tails and next to our walking canes!), so now we can spend all afternoon thanking our Sponsors. This week, we tip our lids to AOL Music, Casio, Fox Soccer Channel, Gamefly, Genji, HD-DVD, Intel, LG VX8600, PlayStation and Sprint. Happy 2007! Now, we must find spats for our dress shoes. More » -

Long lines. Screaming children. Pushy people. Welcome to shopping hell! We've made our list, checked it twice and now we're out buying stuff. We've called in our friendly neighborhood Sponsors to help out — Read: Carry things. For that, we thank them. This week, the Kotaku shopping chart was pushed by AOL Music, Ali G DVD, Casio, Curse of the Golden Flower, Fox Soccer Channel, Genji, HD-DVD, LG VX8600, Sonos and Sprint. More » -

With our spirits crushed from the stress of shopping for our extended family and those in our circle of friends that we only pretend to like, we can at least take comfort in the one thing we know is genuine and true during these trying times: the unwavering, undying love of our sponsors. Without the enduring financial cheer of the following, this Christmas would surely be a bleak one: Ali G DVD, Casio, Fox Soccer Channel, Genji, HD-DVD, LG VX8600, Nokia, Pinger, Sonos, and Sprint.

Vacation time! We're total clothes horses here at Kotaku Tower, so we need multiple suitcases and trunks. Hours of packing later, we're ready to go. But getting the luggage down the stone staircase to the bottom of Kotaku Tower and then hauling them all the way to the airport? That's gonna be tough. Good thing we have Sponsors to help out. This week, we'd like to thank Fox Soccer Channel, Genji, HD-DVD, LG VX8600, Nokia, Pinger, Sonos and Sprint. Not some much for carrying our luggage. But for reminding us not to pack too many socks.

November is so over, and December is so here. It's officially winter, but we're still wandering around Kotaku Tower in t-shirts. Time to go shopping! We might know games, but we're clueless when it comes to proper winter wear. Thank goodness for our savvy Sponsors, who gave us a 101 in sweaters. This week, Kotaku was bundled up and brought to you by: Ali G DVD, FEAR 360, Fox Soccer Channel, Genji, HD-DVD, LG VX8600, Nokia, Sonos and Sprint. More » -

Man, we at Kotaku Tower are bloated and stuffed with turkey and pie. We've been feeding our faces all week. While we can't cook, our Sponsors can.
