Thank god. I just barely make the cut. I'm still livid over the 8GB requirement on Ghosts. Even though they patched it out, the game still runs like an old turd on a gradual incline. 30 gigs for a multiplayer game that looks just like every one that preceded it, and I can barely get a kill for all the chugging going Read more

Well, that, the piss-poor writing, cheesy dialog, two-dimensional characters, hideous robot designs, testicle jokes, racist stereotypes...that Optimus Prime was turned from a Christlike figure to a vengeful murderer is at the higher brow end of the list of complaints that can be leveled against them. I'll give it to Read more

First thought: I was ecstatic to see the bit about Four Swords, but only because I assumed it came with Link to the Past. Having just finished Between Worlds for a second time about 5 minutes before reading the Deals headline, I was ready to shit my pants with excitement. Then half-way through the arduous Nintendo ID Read more

I enjoyed the first one. When it goes on sale again, I plan to get the one they released fairly recently for Steam. My favorite Naruto fighter was Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 on Gamecube, but that series has since gone off to weirder, lamer things. On the other hand, the Ultimate Ninja games on PS2 which were Read more

A coworker of mine is actually on the team for that. He spent his entire vacation in his home, at his computer, just working away. He told me a few days ago that he recently broke the map when they gave him WorldEdit permission and he accidentally created some great chunk of blocks that went 2000 units in two Read more

All these years and Kotaku finally has a podcast!? You sum'guns! <3 Read more

Wow, the PS4 one is actually pretty attractive. PS3 one's ugly as hell. It's also surprising to see how well the 360 still looks. Read more

Wow, you just reminded me that there was indeed a time when I stared at the right-side stick thinking "the fuck is this thing for?" Playstation kids looked so spoiled. They had a whole second analog stick that there was never going to be any conceivable use for. Ever. It would just sit there, I knew, talking big and Read more

Hm. I can only speak for myself, and well, every gamer I've ever met, but I think I'm (we're) as empathetic as they come. Read more

I've been giving 0 fucks about new Pokemon games since I played Pearl, which wasn't bad, but was just more of the same. I'm practically frothing at the mouth to play this one. I might even wind up picking up a 2DS to meet that end. Read more

That GIF confirmed for me that if I pick up Ghosts, I'll be pretty safe in just skipping the solo campaign altogether. Read more

Oh, shit, you're right. Knights of Cydonia. It's all I want. Read more

Is Capcom really going to let them get away with this? I mean, it looks great, but it's SO Mega Man'ish that I can so easily see them getting slapped with a cease and desist... Read more

I appreciate your submitting the list, but the operative word in my sentence was "other", which is to say they haven't announced any additions to the list in a little while. Thanks, though, and hopefully the list will come in handy for someone. Read more

I love Rocksmith. I'm excited to find out what other tracks will be in the game, and to try out the new lessons. I'm also pretty pumped up that they claim to have worked all the kinks and poor design choices out of their UI. Read more

Now playing

I know the list can only have 20 entries, but it breaks my heart not to see Chrono Cross get some publicity here. It's 14 years later and I still feel like that game never got a fair shake from anyone but reviewers and the, eh, respectable number of people who bought it. And it's still available via PSN I believe, and

The 3D was the only thing differentiating it from the competition? I disagree. I think the fact that the 3DS actually has a large library of good games is what separates it from the PS Vita, and the fact that it's a dedicated gaming device with tactile buttons separates it from all the smartphone / tablet gaming Read more

Some day I'll get an Xbox One. Some day. In the meantime though, I'll be waiting for the time when this stellar-looking controller becomes PC-compatible. Read more
