To: Ash From: Crecente Re: Egg Allergy Gone, Gone, Gone Tim sent over his column this morning. As usual it was quite lengthy, but man was it funny. It’s unfortunate that some people don’t get Tim. But I suppose, like a fine wine or meth, he’s an acquired taste. What you missed: The Everything Disease:…
Exploding monkeys, zombies, new maps? It must be time to give away some codes for Call of Duty: World at War’s third map pack. We’ve got five Playstation 3 codes and ten Xbox 360 codes. I’ve decided to bury the codes in two old posts on Kotaku. You’ll just need to find them. Here’s a…
Click to viewMTV’s Russ Frushtick is showing off the first 10 minutes of Arkham Asylum over on Multiplayer. This five minute taste gives you a really good sense of the broody, dark feel of the upcoming Batman title. Check out the link for the second half, which shows off the rest of the intro and…
Twitter may be down, perhaps the victim of the same denial-of-service attack that knocked Kotaku and Gawker Media out earlier this week, but that doesn’t mean you have to start working. Not if we can help it. Go ahead tell us about that coffee you just bought, about the game you’re playing, the boss who…
With less than two weeks to go before Gamescom kicks off in Cologne, the list of games that will be present and playable continues to grow. Today Bethesda confirmed that WET, Wheelspin and Medieval Games will all be playable at the show and that they will be talking up Brink. Ubisoft’s list of games at…
To: Bash From: Crecente Re: Two Words: Cancer Sucks. Yes it does. My mom is a cancer survivor, for quite awhile now fortunately. Finding out is always a shock. Few words have as much an impact on a person as the C word. We recorded our first live podcast today with live call-ins from readers.…
We did it. The show is in the can and you can now listen to it not live and pretend you can call in. Despite one technical snafu (Fahey’s early bit is quite quiet), the show seems to have worked out quite well. UPDATE: And here’s the iTunes link for Kotaku Talk Radio. Please subscribe…
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Kotaku Talk Radio.

More than a year ago we hosted a slew of photos showing off the work desks and gaming set-ups of the world’s game developers. We’re now in the process of updating Work and Play: A Peek Inside the Lives of Gaming’s Greatest with new desks and new developers. We’ve decided to move the entire project…
With Gamescom just two weeks away, the recently transplanted show is heating up to outshine its already white hot predecessor in Leipzig. The new European games convention, shifted this year from Leipzig to Cologne, will feature most of the major game developers, plenty of press conferences and an absurd amount of games. The list of…
We’ve long played with the concept of podcasts for Kotaku, doing late-night chats over drinks and food and trying various video formats, but we’ve never really landed on one I’ve liked. That’s because I’ve never been a fan of podcasts myself. They feel a bit too canned, too introspective for my tastes. This week we’re…
It’s a modern day gold rush and Namco’s not above admitting it, or trying to profit from it. Earlier this week the developer announced that they were opening up a new division dedicated solely to the creation of iPhone games. That means more Namco classics, new in-house titles and even third-party games for Apple’s inordinately…
As of this evening DSi owners in North America can now directly upload the pictures they took using the portable to their Facebook account, with one caveat. While the uploading is fairly seamless, Facebook’s own terms of use prevent anyone under the age of 13 from using it because you’re not allowed to set up…
To: Ash From: Crecente Re: Don’t Interview Pretty Actresses When You Have A Runny Nose Wow, this has been a fun day. Something horrific happened to our servers (I imagine it involved wolverines or piranha or piranha wolverines) and we’ve essentially been knocked out all day. You actually could load the site, but it took…
Earlier this year Taito released the original Space Invaders on the iPhone and iPod Touch to average reviews and little fanfare.

The new game has you controlling the laser cannon with your finger, breaking it…

To: Ash From: Crecente Re: Right Now, Mrs. Bashcraft Will Start Reading Kotaku No, not me. I wasn’t the one diagnosed today with carpal tunnel syndrome, Lucy was.
