Machinarium Review: Beautiful Robots
In case you haven't noticed, we're playing catch-up here at Kotaku. Reviewing some games that were missed in the run-in to the holiday season. Which is great, because it means I get a chance to talk about Machinarium. More »Weyland-Yutani: Building Better, Bloodier Worlds
Lance Henriksen slithers back into the role of Charles Bishop Weyland in this story trailer for Rebellion's Aliens vs. Predator, once again managing to sound comforting and sinister at the same time. More »Oh The Weather Outside Is...Ice
If the weather outside is frightful, there's a good chance Victor Fries is out there somewhere. Sony Online Entertainment reveals the DC Universe Online look for one of Batman's most tragic villains, and I'm not even counting the movie appearance. More »Assassin's Creed II Spoiler Talk With Patrice Desilets
Yesterday's Kotaku interview with Assassin's Creed II creative director Patrice Desilets covered a lot, but it did not reveal his thoughts on some of the more surprising and controversial parts of ACII. That's in this post, which is all spoiler. More »Try Out Team Fortress 2's Bots
Valve have quietly been tinkering under Team Fortess 2's hood for some time now, and today would like you to try and help them test something out: officially-sanctioned, AI-controlled "bots". More »One Man's Year Making Assassin's Creed II
If you made Assassin's Creed II this year, it was a good year — even if you had to trim the game, even if things didn't click until August, even if, for five minutes, you had to suppress your accent. More »Divinity II Demo Out Now
Between now and Friday, I'm loading up on every free or borrowed video game-related thing I can to keep me from going out and buying anything before Christmas. The Divinity II demo fills the bill nicely. More »GOG.com Puts Good Old Games On Sale For The Holidays
DRM-free classic PC game store GOG.com is rolling out deals for the holiday season, with up to 40% off 171 titles, including Duke Nukem 3D, Freespace 2, Fallout, and Beyond Good & Evil, with free Tex Murphy for everyone. More »Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising Overwatch DLC Deployed
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising gets its second helping of downloadable content today with the Overwatch pack, bringing two new multiplayer modes and two new fire team engagements to the battle for Skira. More »Pretty Pictures From BioShock 2
Totilo's shining BioShock 2 preview was big on words, but where were the images? Here are the images, and they are just as lovely and enthralling as the experience Mr. Totlio describes. More »BioShock 2 Preview: Maybe It Was Needed After All
It's hard not to start playing BioShock 2 without thinking about it as one of the most unnecessary sequels in gaming. It is easy, however, once playing has begun to recognize it as a very promising game. More »Giant Evil Robot Teddy Bear Attacks Champions Online
Champions Online's Millennium City has been invaded by the Black Harlequin and his giant, murderous mecha-teddy, Clarence for the holidays. We're going to need bigger hugs. More »Blizzard Will "Definitely" Make Another Console Game
It's been nine years since a Blizzard game appeared on a console. But don't worry! That doesn't mean the world's richest developers have given up taking way too long to develop games for those under-TV family game box machine things. More »2010: Looking Back on Kotaku's Look Ahead
We're 10 days from New Year's but tomorrow is the winter solstice, starting us on another trip around the sun. And a new year that will be full of its own controversies, challenges, triumphs, disappointments and delights in video gaming. More »The Non-Adventure Adventure Game
Dutch game designer Kenney Vleugels realizes how prosaic life can be sometimes. Not that a flash game about watching a DVD turns that into an epic happening. But it is more interactive than reading someone tweet about it. More »The Advent Calendar of Indie Games
Little doors and fun-sized prizes aren't just for the kitchen wall. The Indie Games Advent Calendar reveals a new game each day counting down to Christmas. It's a neat way to see what's out there and support indie devs. More »The Saboteur is Le Patched, But Will Need un Autre, Soon
The Saboteur's PC version had big problems out of the box - something like 9 out of 10 ATI-equipped systems couldn't make it work properly. The remnants of Pandemic have rolled a patch, but be sure to read it carefully. More »Torchlight Goes On Sale, Gets New Stuff
Runic's quietly amazing Torchlight is due for a bumper few days this weekend, Valve announcing today that the game's in line for some post-release improvements. More »2010: The Year of Better PC Games?
PC gaming - will it finally die in 2010? No. C'mon, stop already with that. Sure, 2009 had its ups and downs, PC gaming is very much alive and maybe looking healthier than ever in 2010. More »Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Preview: Seriously. Come Back Here With My Tank! [UPDATED]
I have a thing about tanks. If I can drive it, I will. If I can run you over with it, I shall. If you take it from me, I will chase you down and blow it up. Because if I can't have it, nobody can! More »Star Wars: The Old Republic Just Got A Whole Lot Sandier
Tatooine. A harsh, desert planet, filled with hives of scum and villainy. A place where it is nearly impossible to find the droids you are looking for, and the latest planet to join the Star Wars: The Old Republic galaxy. More »
