The Playstation Portable 2, codenamed the NGP, is a sexy beast packed with touch controls, dual analog sticks, a sexy OLED screen and built-in 3G. And just look at it. You know you want to caress it. But you can’t, not until later this year. Until then stare… and stare…. and stare.
I’m ready, basking in the glow of all of those (not really) warming LCDs. You know, my dad told me once about how when he was in the army, back in the 50s I think, G.I.s would stand in front of giant radar dishes on cold winter nights to warm up. Yikes! Anyway, get to…
I spent a chunk of yesterday hulking my way around the rooftop gardens and helipad of Crysis 2’s Skyline map. The demo gives you a solid sampling of what to expect from the game’s multiplayer when it hits. The free multiplayer demo hit the Xbox 360 today, giving players a chance to check out a…
Finally, time for Playstation 3 owners to get some early, free time with an upcoming shooter.

Capturing quality high-definition video from a video game turned out to be trickier than one would think. At least it was a couple of years ago. Nowadays it just requires a nest of technology behind my TV. Check out that nest! Cables, plugs, boxes, laptops, all so I can cap pretty much on the fly.…
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 may have influenced the deadly attack on Russia’s busiest airport earlier this week, state run news network Russia Today suggests. RT points out what they say are similarities between the bloody scenes depicted in the No Russian level of 2009’s game with the gruesome reality of yesterday’s attack at…
Call of Duty: Black Ops isn’t just getting four new maps when First Strike hits the Xbox 360 next month, it’s also getting more zombies. While we have already seen a bit of the four multiplayer maps included in First Strike, due to hit the Xbox 360 on Feb. 1 for 1,200 Microsoft points, or…

This week I found myself doing something I’ve never done before with an iPad. Playing a game, not to pass time, but because it was fun, frightening and I wanted to see what was going to happen next. Gaming on the iPhone and iPad is for me a diversion, something I do to take the…

It was a contentious fight: Which game of 2010 was the absolute best of the year? But we’ve reached a conclusion and have, at last, a clear winner. We spent the better part of January nailing down the games we agreed internally were the best contenders for best game of 2010. In 2009, we narrowed…
Capturing more than 12,000 of the nearly 30,000 votes cast in our Game of the Year poll, this cross-platform game captured Kotaku’s 2010 Readers’ Choice Award. No, it’s not Red Dead Redemption. Congratulations to Mass Effect 2, which earned more than 40 percent of the total votes for game of the year. Call of Duty:…
Would you pay $250 for 3D gaming, movie watching and picture taking you can carry in your pocket?

Looks like it’s going to be down to the line for the Kotaku Readers’ Choice award for the best game of 2010. Poll Daddy blocks multiple votes by IP, so in theory it will be fair. Voting ends at 12: 01 a.m. mountain time on Monday. Completely unrelated, but I seem to recall you like…
You’ve read why Mass Effect 2 deserves to be game of the year. Also why Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty: Black Ops and NBA 2K11 deserve the nod. Now it’s your turn.
