Let’s Watch The Walking Dead‘s Carl Play League Of Legends

Having spent four seasons watching the once bright-eyed son of Rick Grimes harden under the weight of the zombie apocalypse, seeing actor Chandler Riggs clicking away on a mouse in the lower right corner of a League of Legends stream on Twitch is just surreal. Reader Chase pointed us to the Twitch channel for Chandler…

Gameloft is streaming The Amazing Spider-Man 2 mobile game on Twitch. You can watch the stream here, until they stop. After that, this message is a waste of time. Sorry, future readers.

Monument Valley Is The Perfect Hour

In a mobile gamescape cluttered with free-to-play fluff meant to while away weeks, months and even years rises Monument Valley, a premium perceptual puzzle game that offers just an hour of content — the most sublime hour my iPad has ever given me. Luke Plunkett told us to play Monument Valley last week (I even…

The Glory Days Of Platform Adventure Reclaimed By One Brave Hamster

2010’s The Flying Hamster is an adorable bite-sized shooter mainly aimed at mobile and portable platforms. Flying Hamster II: Knight of the Golden Seed is a gorplatforming adventure that aims to resurrect the spirit of the classic Wonder Boy/Monster World franchise. Normally, when a mobile-centric shooter gets a sequel, the developer stays in or around…

Every Trek Generation Comes Together In Star Trek Timelines

A Star Trek strategy role-playing game that allows fans to build their dream crew out of characters from every generation of the television series? You have my attention, Disruptor Beam.

AMD’s Latest ‘World’s Fastest’ Video Card Is A Liquid-Cooled Monster

After weeks of teasing, AMD has finally revealed the Radeon R9 295X2, the first dual-processor graphics card that actually doubles the performance of a single-processor card. It’s got tubes. Tubes are cool. Well, tubes are cooling at least. Along with a single center fan that doesn’t seem like it would do much for a card…

And Then X-Men’s Quicksilver Ate A Carl’s Jr. Biscuit Really Fast

In an effort to make me hate the Days of Future Past version of speedy mutant Quicksilver even more, fast food chain Carl’s Jr. went and did this. Note the X-tra bacon. Carl’s Jr., aka Hardee’s, has teamed up with some of the actors from X-Men: Days of Future Past to help promote its new…

True Detective‘s Rusty Cohle Is Just The Worst

As much as I enjoyed True Detective, I couldn’t spend more than a couple of minutes in the company of Matthew McConaughey’s Rustin Cohle without going completely insane. Pete Holmes demonstrates why.

It’s Looking Bad For Peter Parker In The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Game

As if three movie villains weren’t enough, Electro and the Green Goblin are are joined by the ugliest Kingpin ever, bad-hair-lighting Black Cat and… is that Carnage? Yeah, Parker is screwed. Activision tried to sneak a little Carnage into the trailer, but I can smell a Cleetus a mile away. It helps that I was…

Watch Tetris Being Played On The Side Of A 29-Story Building

Drexel University professor Frank Lee took over the side of the 29-story Cira Centre in Philadelphia last year to play a gigantic game of Pong, setting the Guinness World Record for the “Largest Architectural Video Game Display.” Last night he doubled the record with a massive game of Tetris. Controlled by joysticks conneted to the…

The Week In Games: Let’s Do The Titanfall Again

This week’s biggest release is a game we don’t have a single screenshot or snippet of gameplay for. That’s not something you don’t see every day. Retailers are selling copies of Titanfall for the Xbox 360 early, but since the servers aren’t live there is no way for early owners to capture gameplay footage. There…

Elder Scrolls Online MMO Log: The World Is My Cat Box

It’s been one week since I donned my tail and cat ears and began my journey into The Elder Scrolls Online, and I’m having a much better time on day seven than I did on day one. My first level Khajiit Nightblade is now a tenth level Khajiit Nightblade who has seen and done many…

Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Hide The Megalodon

Last week Battlefield 4 players found the legendary Megalodon, parading the massive Cenozoic Era shark around the internet like some twisted fishing trophy. Sounds like ol’ Megalodon needs a better hiding place. Perhaps Photoshop can help. Hey Megalodon, if you’re trying to hide from Battlefield 4 players, inside Battlefield 4 is probably not the best…

Persona Q‘s Battle System Makes Me So Happy

Why are the characters in Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth so tiny? So you can fit more of them on the battlefield at once. “But Fahey, having five characters fighting at once leads to a whole lot of menu navigation during battles.” Stop trying to sell me, I am already sold. Besides, they’re not…

Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Turtle Power: The Winners!

Last week I asked you fine Photoshop people to take back the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from Michael Bay. You’ve made this old and wizened anthropomorphic rat proud. I seriously don’t know how my predecessor managed to deal with so much beauty every week. Once again I found myself selecting just about every entry —…

Super Mario Cat Doesn’t Take No Crap From No Goomba

There’s a reason it takes a rare power-up to turn into a cat in the Mushroom Kingdom — they’re just too powerful. While the plumber is away, Super Mario Cat saves the day. Youtube’s Mr. TVCow shot a bunch of footage of this cat, and then spent hours adding CG Mario scenery and sound effects.…

It’s The Last Weekend To Play Resistance Online, So Get Right On That

It’s time to shut the door on the least memorable shooter franchise of the previous generation. Online services for Resistance: Fall of Man and its two sequels will cease functioning on April 8. Surely someone out there is sad? Originally announced last year, the final shutdown of the Resistance franchise’s PlayStation 3 online multiplayer features…
