Talking Toasters, Pop Rocks And Other Fun Stuff Cut From Fallout 2

The sequel to Interplay’s legendary post-apocalyptic role-playing game was bigger and badder than the original Fallout, which translates into more space on the cutting room floor for discarded storylines, abandoned features, unrealized non-player characters and a fully-upgradeable, completely drive-able vehicle. VG Facts‘ Leftovers series returns to the Fallout series once more, plumbing its grimy depths…

Excerpts From an Erotic Shadow the Hedgehog/Borderlands Fan Ficton

Searching as I do from time to time through the video game crossover wonderland that is FanFiction.net, I happened to turn off the mature story filter for a split-second, during which I encountered the raunchiest, steamiest Shadow the Hedgehog-meets-Borderlands story I’ve ever read. It’s also the only one, but that’s not important right now. What…

Following up on last year’s spectacular Simpsons house set, LEGO returns to Springfield with one of the fictional town’s most iconic retail establishments. Your own miniature Kwik-E-Mart franchise can be yours in May for $200. That’s a lot of dough—$50 less than the $250 house set—but you get a lot for the money. For starters,…

Dungeon Hunter 5 Discovers Exciting New Ways To Disappoint Me

Over its first four iterations Gameloft’s Diablo-esque Dungeon Hunter has transformed from excellent premium mobile game to mildly greedy free-to-play. With this week’s release of Dungeon Hunter 5 the series becomes a mildly greedy free-to-play hack-and-slash card-collecting defense game, aka just about everything I dislike about mobile games. I’m not even upset about the free-to-play…

The First Five Minutes Of Parallax, First-Person Portal Puzzler

Traversing portals to solve puzzles split between two worlds, one black and white, the other white and black? Sounds like a simple enough concept to grasp in five minutes.

Let’s Play The Definitive DMC With Some Classic Devil May Cry Style 

I really enjoyed DMC upon its first release, dark-haired emo Dante and all. Released today, the Definitive Edition for PS4 and Xbox One gives fans of the first game a more traditional demon spawn hero to play with. He’ll do. Let’s play! I’ve not streamed directly from my PlayStation 4 in ages, so if this…

Weird Al Singing ‘Yoda’ With Autistic Children Made Me So Happy

During Comedy Central’s biennial Night of Too Many Stars benefit for New York Collaborates for Autism, Weird Al Yankovic and 13-year-old autistic singer Jodi DiPiazza performed a stunning rendition of the classic “Yoda” that moved me to tears. It’s not that “Yoda”, Weird Al’s 1985 parody of “Lola” by The Kinks is a particularly moving…

The Ultimate StarCraft Action Figure

Sideshow’s partnership with Blizzard has resulted in some pretty amazing collectibles—Deathwing from World of Warcraft, the Diablo III version of the Prime Evil—but nothing nearly as spectacular as the meticulously crafted sixth scale figure of StarCraft‘s Jim Raynor in his signature space marine armor. Fans with $500 to burn have been eagerly awaiting Raynor’s arrival…

The Week In Games: The Blind Leading

It’s some indie gems mixed with big-budget remakes this week, with Ori and The Blind Forest topping my list of games most likely to be the top image for The Week in Games. Oh look, it won. Time for some quiet introspection as we await next week’s release of things with Final Fantasy, Mario and…

Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Agents Of Nvidia Shield

Since early 2013 Nvidia has announced three different Nvidia Shields, the latest being the Android console that debuted at GDC earlier this week.

Star Citizen Shoots Up Expensive Spaceships Real Good

While we’re still waiting to see how Star Citizen turns out as a whole, Chris Roberts and crew continue to prance out impressive bits of the ambitious crowd-funded space sim, like this lovely video of bits being blown off spaceships. It’s not just about flying spaceships about the universe, though I’d probably be just as…

Now That’s A Disturbing Fighting Game Character

Do attractive female fighting game characters in skimpy outfits bother you? Then meet Killer Instinct‘s latest combatant, Hisako. You’ll like her. She’ll break your bones from the inside.
