While perhaps not seen in the full context of his talk at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch conference, Activision head Bobby Kotick‘s comments about Bungie did create quite a stir last week. It is worth your time to go listen to the full 40-minute or so talk here, but the thing that captured so…
Perhaps calls out is too harsh a phrase. Really Lucas Molyneux just asks, almost begs, Valve’s Gabe Newell for more details on the perpetually not-finished Half-Life 3 All the while Peter Molyneux, creator of Black & White, Magic Carpet, and Fable, peppers his son with advice and questions like, “What would you say to the…
The sharp-eyed bloggers over at Aggrogate noticed something amiss with today’s issue of freebie New York newspaper Metro. Instead of a sexy cover for the pub’s Sex Issue, the Metro was wrapped with a faux cover dedicated to the panic in London caused by puzzles. That’s right, Nintendo took over the New York paper with…
8 Bit Wood specializes in making video-game themed pixel art with thousands of little blocks of wood, stained and glued together and then sealed. The website for 8 Bit Wood shows off amazing wall art inspired by Contra, Adventure, Ninja Gaiden, Excite Bike, Mario and more. But since there’s no price listed (you have to…
To: Luke From: Crecente Re: This Is Noisy I just got all three of Karen Traviss’ Gears of War books in the mail. I plan on reading them to review the most recent one: Anvil Gate. Have you read any of these? I’m a fan of all sorts of books, from classics to poetry to…
Dante goes punk. Wesker slaps down Spidey. Doc Brown is back. Pokemon for grown-ups? What’s going on! Don’t panic. We’re here for you, just call in and Totilo and I will ease your fears and talk you through what has been a very hot and cold week for gaming. The weekly Kotaku Talk Radio podcast…
Music gaming seems to be heading in two distinctly different directions. Guitar Hero looks like it’s shooting to capture a blend of fantasy gaming and rock, while games like Rock Band 3 and Power Gig are taking the ultra realistic path. It’s almost like what we’ve seen happen to racing and flight games. You’ve got…
Starting this November five popular ski slopes in Colorado, Nevada and California will start tracking powder time to award skiers achievements pins and the ability to level up. EpicMix goes live on all but one of Vail Resports’ slopes this coming ski season. Keystone, which opens on Nov. 5, will be the first to see…
Don’t forget. Mark your clock! Today’s podcast day. Drop by at 1 p.m. eastern, 10 a.m. pacific to chat about Civ V, achievement ski bums and, inevitably, Dante’s hair
No matter how much you may hate the new punk look of Devil May Cry’s Dante, keep in mind it could have been worse. When developers Ninja Theory were asked by Capcom to come up with a new look for the star of a reboot of the popular action game, now known only as DmC,…
These pack of diminutive Wii remote and nunchuk is too cute for words… so I shot a video instead. The Miniremote has LED illuminated action buttons, a textured rubber grip and is a third smaller than the much less cute Nintendo remote. The MiniChuk has a click-free thumb button and formed rubber grip. The pack…
While it appears that nearly all of these 600 video game machines are used for gambling, it doesn’t make their death at the hand of Chinese police any less tragic. I can see copies of World of Warcraft going into a bonfire next. Contraband [Time, thanks Kyle]
Is mowing down hundreds of enemies, like cutting through grass with a scythe, your kinda thing? Then you’re probably looking forward to Aeria’s Dynasty Warriors Online which is packed with weapons and enemies who stand like chaff on the field of battle, waiting to be knocked down. If these screens, and the concept for this…
To: Luke From: Crecente Hey, hey! Happy Birthday Kotaku’s Stephen Totilo. I hope you’re doing something fun. If not, might I suggest a silent disco, followed by cheese, wine and crusty French bread. Have a good one, man! What you missed: A Look At the PS3 High-Def, Snap-On Video Screen LittleBigPlanet 2 As Street Fighter,…
Telltale Games are hard at work on their new Back to the Future games with the help of Christopher “Doc Brown” Lloyd and Back to the Future screenwriter Bob Gale. Telltale Games sent along these photos to Kotaku showing Lloyd hard at work in the audio studio yesterday on voice recordings for the game. Gale…
We haven’t had a chance to take Hori’s HD LCD Monitor 3 for the Playstation 3 for a full test run yet, but I wanted to give you a look at this high-def video monitor in action. As I mention in the video, the HD LCD Monitor 3 hit Japan in May of this year,…
To: Ash From: Crecente I went for a run last night with Trish and Tristan. We did two miles at about ten minutes a mile, which isn’t too bad for someone who spent the past year sitting on his ass writing about video games. Trish is prepping to train for a half marathon. I think…
Halo: Reach’s Forge World is a much more robust tool for creating videos, gameplay ideas and, well, insanity than I first realized. Take for instance this video created by Ben Buja. Ignore, if you must, the insane body juggling and over-sized golf balls and check out that amazing grenade toss about one minute and twenty…
