To: Ash From: Crecente Re: “Happy Inauguration” We just finished recording the month’s video podcast. This time inside Grand Theft Auto IV. Our special guest this month around was the winner of the year-end Be a Kotaku Editor for a Day contest. Kinda fun, mostly because we drove around shooting each other. Adam, apparently, has…
The Big Easy isn’t immune to the same issues that arcade machine vendors across the country face. A shift in culture, a spike in home consoles and arcades, once the bastion for gaming culture, go up in smoke. The latest victim: New Orleans Novelty. After more than 30 years running arcades and placing gaming machines…
.html Yes, I know there’s a wonderful tradition of storytelling behind the Street Fighter series. But still, I don’t play this game because I care about the inner turmoil that haunts its fighters. That’s what College Humor is for.
Still no word on when or if those rumored major cuts will be hitting Sony in the next month, but the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is reporting that Microsoft’s cuts will be laid out later this week. The cuts will be detailed during the company’s second-quarter earnings report on Thursday, the P-I reports, but no word yet…
Back in December I contacted Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony to ask if they would be willing to participate in an experiment. I wanted an executive from each company to write an open letter welcoming new gamers to their specific platform. The idea, I thought, was to serve two purposes. First it seemed like it would…
To say that The Conduit has improved with age would be a bit of an understatement. It has, at least graphically, metamorphosed into something I am actually interesting in watching.
Today Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th president of the United States. It certainly didn’t escape Stephen Totilo’s notice who’s created quite an ode to the event. Using Fallout 3, Totilo wandered around the bomb-blasted, irradiated and devastated Washington D.C. to try and capture, in-game, some of what you’ll be seeing today…
Here’s a cute story about a 9-year-old violist who’s been winning hearts at a busker festival in Australia all to earn enough cash to buy herself a Playstation. Carissa Lynch, of Kootingal, hit Tamworth’s buskers alley on Friday, earning $149 by Saturday afternoon. By Monday she had earned about $350. It sounds like she might…
Today we hear word that more of the 1,000 cuts announced back in December at Electronic Arts are about to hit. The latest rumor is that Blackbox, the folks behind the Need for Speed franchise and others, are next on the chopping block, with the layoff axe cutting into the studio as early as this…
To: Ash From: Crecente Re: Man, it’s been a really bad couple of days. Yesterday we had to rush our greyhound to the emergency vet because she was dripping blood out of places, well places you normally don’t see blood dripping from. They treated her, to the tune of $500, and then sent her home.…
Welcome to the Family is a series of three letters that will run this week from the heads of Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. We asked each of the companies to write up a welcome letter to new owners of their consoles. They did the rest. We are running them in the order they were received.…

The only thing better than a dog-killing metaphor is beating the shit out of said metaphor until it’s painfully, painfully, painfully obvious what Exactly you’re talkinG about.. M.
When we first heard that Pandemic Studios was working on an action game based on The Lord of the Rings, we weren’t just excited, we were a bit giddy. The idea seemed like a good one: Give the people who made Star Wars: Battlefront the license to create a similar game using The Lord of…
LEGO and pixelated video game characters are as delicious a combination as chocolate and peanut butter. The non-Salmonella peanut butter that is. So when Tristan started asking me to help him build an original LEGO creation to mail in to the official LEGO Magazine, I jumped at the opportunity to suggest that maybe he create…
President elect Barack Obama’s first day in office Tuesday will bring gamers one step closer to the White House. This Christmas Obama bought his family a Wii, something he plans to have set up in the family’s main TV room on the second floor of the White House. This morning I stumbled across an fictional…
To: Bash From: Crecente Re: Trying To Stop Cussin’, Huh I was mostly joking when I said that this morning. I just accidentally typed Holy Duck. But, I do try to limit my cussing whenever possible. Too much of it rots the brain, and I do a lot. It’s a lazy way of expressing annoyance,…
