    Gendering Game Violence

    There's another great post at Vorpal Bunny Ranch, this one looking at the issue of female game protagonists and game violence — there seem to be different expectations placed on the reaction of female protagonists to violence that is par for the course for male characters. Oh, sure, violence may still be there, but it takes on a different tone. Is this societal expectations playing out on our consoles and PCs?: More »

    Bloody Samus Cosplay Done Right

    Most cosplay fails from either poor costume construction or the revealing of too much unruly flesh. Few want to see Tifa reimagined as a heroine whose shorts are bursting at the seams with layers of manifested laziness, one reason why the generally slender cosplayers in Japan are held in high regard in such circles.

    Metroid Prime 3 Corruption Box Art With Samus, Samus and Samus

    The box art for Nintendo's first game of The Big Three, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, is now available for your expert-level box art critique. While many will agree that it is rich with Samus and her various grotesque mutations, what I'm sure we'll all disagree on is whether it's less or more hideous than the Kotaku redesign. Personally, I'm not a fan, as my appreciation for the typeface arts has grown to the point where I'm under the delusion I know what the hell I'm talking about. However, I am well aware that the extent to which I'll actually view this box art is the sum total of about ninety seconds of my life. More »

    Master Chief Denied By Samus

    Artist Torokun is no stranger to Kotaku. We love his fan art. His most recent addition to his deviantArt profile is of this awesome Metroid Prime 2 Echoes-style Samus Aran showing her distaste for "badly designed guys" like the popular BMX bandit Master Chief. Ice cold, Samus, ice cold. More »
