Nothing Brings World Of Warcraft Together Like The Invading Demonic Horde

For the past week players of all levels, races and factions have been joining forces to try and stem the tide of soul-hungry demons spilling into our lands, determined to end life as we know it. I’ve not had this much fun with other players in ages. Since last Tuesday up until this morning’s maintenance,…

Next Call of Duty Has ’80s Zombies With David Hasselhoff And Pee-wee Herman

While Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare takes place in the future, its initial Zombies experience is firmly rooted in the past. In Zombies in Spaceland, four aspiring actors are transported to a zombie-infested space theme park by Paul “Pee-wee Herman” Reubens. Reubens plays a once-popular horror actor who lures the player characters to an abandoned…

My Little Pony Fan Figures Are Figures Of My Little Pony Fans

Integrity Toys celebrates the adult fandom of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic with a line of high-end fashion dolls that are mind-bendingly discordant. The outfits, the hair, the accessories—all of these make sense. But when applied to people so pretty only plastic could render them properly, my head starts to hurt. I’m not saying…

After months of paid early access and a stint as a PlayStation Plus joint, Epic Games’ Paragon launches into open beta today. The shooter-looking MOBA is nowfree to play for everybody on PlayStation 4 and PC.

Nvidia’s Latest Desktop Graphics Cards Are Now Its Latest Notebook Graphics Cards

Today gaming notebook makers around the world begin shipping systems decked out with Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080 GPUs, essentially the same Pascal-based graphics hardware introduced for desktop PCs earlier this year. The line, it grows thinner. Mobile PC gaming is always a compromise between portability and performance, but it’s much less of…

Supergirl Added To Lego Dimensions In The Worst Way

Supergirl is coming to Lego Dimensions late next month, but she’s not coming easy. Not only is Superman’s cousin a PlayStation 4 exclusive, her figure will only be available in Starter Packs, the full edition of the game most fans already own. One of my favorite things about Lego Dimensions up until this point was…

Metroid Prime‘s First Boss Battle Captured Perfectly In Lego

Last year Lego builder and Metroid Prime fan Jared Rosenblitt recreated the exciting battle between the terrifying Meta Ridley and Samus atop the Chozo Artifact Temple. To celebrate the series’ 30th anniversary, Jared hit reset and went back to the beginning of the game. Metroid Prime is one of our favorite games as well, so…

Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Mario And Sonic At The Real Olympic Games: The Winners

In our latest Photoshop contest I asked for images of Sonic and Mario characters at the real Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Our contestants either ignored that request completely, or went way dark. This was not entirely unexpected. I figured that the much-publicized poor quality of Rio’s water-like substance would steal the show, one way or…

Snacktaku Eats Swedish Fish Oreos

The look of terror in my eyes is half the idea of Oreo cookies filled with Swedish Fish “flavor creme,” half the outrageous pressure put on me to eat them from the moment they became a real thing. I have done your bidding. Please release my family. The good ones, at least. I’ve spent the…

During E3 2016, Patrick Klepek told us what it was like to be Batman in virtual reality. Now the official fan reactions trailer for Batman: Arkham VR for the PS4 shows us flashes of gameplay between shots of excited Comic-Con attendees. You’re Batman.

Lego Is About As Fun As The U.S. Capitol Building Is Going To Get

Arriving on store shelves September 1, Lego Architecture’s version of the U.S. Capitol looks like it’s fun to put together, only costs $99 and will still be standing a year from now, no matter what happens in November. The Capitol Building is one of the most iconic man made structures in the country. It started…

Toy Time Builds Lego Nexo Knights‘ Volcano Lair

Lego Nexo Knights, the most kid-friendly battle between techno knights and dark magic possible, returns to Cartoon Network this weekend for a second season. Seems like as good a reason as any to assemble the 1,186 piece Jestro’s Volcano Lair set. In a world where Lego can’t seem to keep kids interested in Bionicle anymore…

Kotaku‘s First Level 100 Demon Hunter, And Other Cool Things Happening In World Of Warcraft Today

I was a little slow for a world’s first, so this’ll do. I’m off this week, but not so off that I wasn’t sitting at my desk when the World of Warcraft servers came up to get mydouble-jumping fetish elf on. Demon Hunters and all sorts of fiery green hell are now live. Demon Hunters…

World Of Warcraft Expansions Revisited: Lich King It’s Cold Outside

Our trip through the first five World of Warcraft expansions on the way to Legion continues into Northrend, the frozen continent no one was paying attention to for the first four years of the game’s existence, but is actually a major threat to all existence. This piece originally appeared 8/6/16. InThe Burning Crusade the Dark…

Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Mario And Sonic At The Real Olympic Games

With the real Olympic games going on, there’s no reason Mario and Sonic need to remain trapped inside their colorful fantasy land. Let’s send them to Rio, and hope they survive. What I’m looking for in this week’s contest, which might be my last for awhile, is Sonic and Mario characters inserted into real images…

The Week In Games: Gimme Back That Sky

No Man’s Sky? Bullshit. I’ve got a deed and everything, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned from failed science fiction television show theme songs, it’s that you can’t take it from me. It seems like a challenge, this No Man’s Sky. Everybody’s Sky would have been a much nicer title. Or maybe Sky For…

Rocket League‘s Rumble Mode Brings The Goofy Power-Ups Next Month 

Giving players the ability to kick away other cars with giant boots or disrupt their driving ability are too silly for standard competitive Rocket League play, That’s serious business. Next month’s newly-announced Rumble mode looks to be anything but. Announced during the finale of the Rocket League Championship Series in Hollywood, California today, Rocket League…

A Bro In The Life Of A Steam Greenlight Developer

German independent developer Roman Uhlig recently had his excellent local multiplayer game 12 Orbits added to Steam Greenlight. He’s posted a lengthy, bro-packed conversation demonstrating the sort of attention such a move brings. 12 Orbits is a local multiplayer game for 2 to 12 players, currently available for free on iOS and Android. It’s good…

What’s Up With World Of Warcraft‘s New Double-Jumping Fetish Elves

World of Warcraft’s second hero class goes live this week, and there’s a lot more to Illidan Stormrage’s elite Demon Hunters than meets the blindfold. Sometimes they can triple jump. Blizzard’s Demon Hunter developer preview will tell you all about them. The MMORPGs second hero class starts life at level 98 some ten years before…
