This morning Hi-Rez Studios added another deity to MOBA Smite's ever-growing stable. God of war Bellona might not be the most recognizable name in the Roman pantheon, but that's okay—she prefers to let kicking everybody's ass speak for her.
I got to play the first few hours of The Witcher 3, and so did Kotaku UK's own ruthless god-commander, Keza MacDonald. Per UN mandate, this meant we were required to talk about it. Watch the video to hear our thoughts on open-world stuff, combat, the series' progress in portraying sex, and more.
Hearthstone is a game of ups and downs, where anything can happen at the drop of a card. That sentiment is even more true at competition level.

Well, thanks to a plethora of built-in tools and software designed to record gameplay, it's easier than ever before. Read on for Kotaku's (mostly) definitive guide to capturing gameplay video on your…
This is video of an animatronic Rocket Raccoon answering reporters' questions in Japan. My understanding is that he threatens the reporters and it's hilarious:
I played through Fallout 1 and 2 multiple times, but didn't like the squad based complexity of Fallout Tactics. So this latest trailer for Wasteland 2 is bad news for me. The trailer spends several minutes explaining the seemingly infinite options in designing a squad, only to then show how a poorly designed squad…
There's plenty of character explanation, naval battles, and acrobatic fighting in the latest Assassin's Creed Rogue video. But most importantly, polar bears!:
Devin Graham's latest video features an insane series of dunks pulled off by the Lords of Gravity:

James Clement created The Battle of Endor from Return of the Jedi for the Oculus Rift:
So good it was promoted by the game's director, this trailer for The Last of Us Remastered was made in photo mode by Grant Voegtle (warning, it contains spoilers for the game):
Tom Francis, the designer of Gunpoint, just released a demonstration video of his new game, Heat Signature. In the game, which is a work in progress but already looks great, you choose to play as a thief or assassin, and then travel through space looking for targets to board and people to kill or rob.
LikeButta finished atop the Crucible leaderboard in the Destiny beta. Here's a nearly eight-minute-long montage of his takedowns.
