Portal After Dark

When Chell wakes up in Portal and needs to get herself out of a pickle, she wakes up wearing an orange jumpsuit and some snappy robotic chicken legs. They're both comfortable and practical. But what if she'd woken up with...less gear? A surprisingly tasteful artist's impression of this possible scenario awaits you. Unless you're at work, that is, because like many other works of art, this one's not safe for the office. More »

Rockstar Blames PS3 (In Part) For GTA IV Delays

When GTA IV was delayed last year, neither investors nor gamers were happy. And many of us pointed the finger at the PS3 for the reported "technical" problems during Rockstar's joint PS3/Xbox 360 development process. According to Rockstar's VP of Product Development Jeronimo Barrera, we weren't so crazy.

It's really no surprise to anybody that the PS3 was definitely a contributing factor to [the delay].
He continues:

Kotaku's 2007 Pointies

Last year, way back a few days ago, we posted our official Goaties, Kotaku's picks for Game of the Year. Then we allowed you the readers to pick your favorites. But Game of the Year is such a specific goal, and their were so many games deserving of awards. Awards like Best Engine Missing a Game, Best Game that Shipped with a Blu-Ray Movie and The Wrong Time, Wrong Place award. Hit the jump to see the run down for our first ever Kotaku Pointing Fish Awards: The Pointies.

How Poland Was Sold On Halo 3 (NSFW)

Not with Mountain Dew, or soppy commercials, or signs behind trees. No, when Poland needs to know how great Halo 3 is, they go the direct route: they crack out the slutty models. This is Ania. Ania may or may not love Halo 3, we'll never know! But when Polish lads mag CKM called, said they wanted her to frolic with the game, the 360 and its associated peripherals, Ania answered. With gusto. Verve, even. Click through to see just how much verve. But be warned. It's totally, utterly NSFW. Bare flesh, wireless wheel straddling and pointing fish abound! More »

Power Rangers: Super Legends Hands-On Impressions

Tired of answering the question "You were at Comic Con? What did you think of Power Rangers: Super Legends?!" upon my return from San Diego, I decided that the best way to avoid recounting my experience again and again was to post hands-on impressions of the PlayStation 2 game from Disney Interactive—also publishing Turok, another potential sleeper hit from a Canadian developer—on Kotaku.

Blind Item: Bad Bathroom Habits

Pointing Fish says, "A little known difference between Western and Japanese developers is that some want your stool while their across-the-pond counterparts don't." More »

Blind Item: Jealous Guy

kotakupointingfish.jpgPointing Fish says: This promoted business exec appeared on stage at a poorly received press conference last year. Later, he would later laugh off the ensuing jokes publicly. However, around the office, it was a different story altogether! He caught one of his employees watching a YouTube version of that press conference and took that employee into his office, where he went into a 15 minute rant about watching that clip. He said, and we quote, "Watching that is what jealous people do." The employee felt disgusted after the ordeal, and word hasn't it that this exec wasn't exactly loved by his underlings. Okay, so who is it?

Blind Item: Name The Credit Hog

kotakupointingfish.jpgPointing Fish says: This game designer has been credited with one of the most successful fighting series ever. A few years back, he left his previous company to create his own start-up. Word is that while he has taken credit for that fighting series, he actually has taken too much or all the credit. During his residency at his previous employer, he was actually against greenlighting what turned out to be a hugely successful horror franchise. And later, he would even take credit for helping to get that game made as well! Currently, he holds the distinction of making launch games on both the Xbox 360 and the PLAYSTATION 3. Okay, Kotaku-land, guess away in the comments section.

You Got PS3 In My 360!

So Microsoft is advertising on the back of PSM magazine, encroaching on enemy territory, as it were. Well that's nothing compared to what is set to greet fans who purchase EA's European UEFA Champions League Event football game for the Xbox 360 once it hits stores. Turns out one of the event's major sponsors has a mighty big presence in the game.
As you can see from the screen (hit the link below for a larger image) this is a preview build of the game, but since the PlayStation 3 is a big sponsor of the event I doubt they would be taking it out for release. I suppose it will be odd seeing a PlayStation 3 ad appearing in a game that isn't even scheduled for the PS3, but that's just how the cookie crumbles in the magical land of licensing. More »
