Gawker points out this neat bit of street art found in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, on 9th Street, earlier this week. Unfortunately, the art has since been removed or snagged by some enterprising street walker.

Game Writing Is Like Being An Umpire

Red Storm's Richard Danksy is the Tom Clancy game guy. Since joining the Ubisoft-owned developer, he's been the company's Clancy "writing resource" and has the official office title of Central Clancy Writer, and Manager of Design for Red Storm Entertainment. He's written a ton of games. No, he's written a ton of really good games. So, how does he describe gaming writing?

Drawn To Life Eyeballs-On

THQ's Nintendo DS game Drawn To Life looks like it might be one of the most original platformers the DS has ever seen, an example of user generated content gone horribly right. However, during my hands-off demo of the portable game during the Nintendo Media Summit, I felt like the game was more an example of nearly missed opportunity combined with fantastic potential.

Super Bible Adventures on Broken Pixels

Oh, we're tempted to link this episode of Broken Pixels, 1UP's "Three drunk guys and a crappy game" humor show. It does, after all, have Kotaku's own grumpy, disheveled, eunuch-voiced Luke Smith, dead-center. And I love Luke, as one night under the surreal stars of Leipzig will attest. More »
