Mario Tennis Aces is slamming into Switches everywhere this weekend, so I think it’s time for us to get video games ready for summer sports. I’m not really a “sports and shorts” kind of guy, but it’s hard to deny that it feels great to go outside and throw some sort of ball object around…

I’m a sucker for Dark Souls lore, and Dark Souls retold as a fairy tale storybook is one of the best ways to get that lore communicated in an easy, simple way. This video spoils the entirety of Dark Souls. There are spoilers. Dark Souls is often discussed as a game with an oblique story…
Track: Llorar | Artist: The Prids | Album: Love Zero Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to at the moment.
Four Job Fiesta, the Final Fantasy V challenge run event, is happening through August 31st. It’s all about beating the game with randomly assigned jobs. Read up on the event at the official site and check out some Twitch streams of runners doing their thing
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ Sanhok map is now available to all players on PC after a few months of testing, and it has mannequins. They’re terrifying. I stayed away from Sanhok during testing, preferring to wait until the final curated experience would be released, and I haven’t been disappointed with the experience. Myself and a couple friends…
I count myself as a fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, but even I get a little confused about which game has what kind of stuff in it. Now there’s a chart that clears up any confusion. Sometimes, in the heat of discussion, I forget exactly what you could do in each entry of the…
Smash Bros. is a fan favorite, and one of the reasons it is so successful is that it brings all of our favorite characters together to absolutely wreck house all over each other. I asked you to add more characters. You delivered. Adding characters to a real Smash Bros. game seems to be a serious,…
Mario Tennis Aces week is upon us. Like many, I want to see my favorite Mushroom Kingdom friends absolutely annihilate a world tour of tennis players. But it’s not the only great thing coming out. The time after E3 is always strange, and this year is no different. We’re getting some interesting releases like The…
Track: Just A Cloud (feat. Vilja Larjosto) | Artist: Lusine | Album: Sensorimotor Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to at the moment.
Rich Hagon, the shining light of the Magic: The Gathering coverage desk, pulled a black Lotus out of a bag on-air at Grand Prix Las Vegas this weekend. It was not the $5,000+ card; it was a Hot Wheels car. There’s nothing I love more than a good goofy gag, and everyone here plays their…
Today is Father’s Day, and there’s a special new God of War trailer to mark the occasion. It’s full of soaring music that tugs at the heart strings, but it also spoils one of the more moving moments in the game.
Dark Souls is a game that’s celebrated for its oblique narrative and skillful combat, but it also has some complicated and obscure mechanics that don’t make much sense. Now someone is finally explaining them all in a useful video format. The first two episodes of “Dark Souls Dissected” are an investigation into the more subtle…
While we were all screaming about E3, a speedrunner by the name of Mysticore was setting the world record for completing Gex: Enter The Gecko for the Playstation in 48:51. Golly, that game is weird. I’ve always had a fascination with Gex. Despite only ever playing the Game Boy Color version of Enter The Gecko,…
The new Smash Bros. game has a lot of characters, but it doesn’t have every character ever created, so our ‘Shop Contest this week is all about cramming more weird stuff into this game. Look, I’ve never been a Smash fan. I think I must be missing something crucial that gets people hollerin’ about Peach…

An intrepid filmmaker going by the name of TDB Games has created a rousing 24-minute movie called “Yoko” about the destruction of a small city. It’s very good. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of a good Cities: Skylines cinematic flythrough, but it’s rare that I see a creator attempt to do something…

The 2016 Assassin’s Creed film is not good. However, it does have a really cool take on the series’s memory-reliving technology called the Animus. Even Patrice Désilets, the creative lead on the first three Assassin’s Creed games before leaving Ubisoft in 2010, liked it. In an interview conducted by YouTuber Loomer, Désilets reveals that he…
