Product listings from retailers in New Zealand suggest a full retail expansion for Dragon Age: Origins is heading to the PC in March. Eurogamer’s Czech Republic site has posted an article detailing a new expansion for Dragon Age titled Dragon Age: Awakening. Apparently culled from product listings from unnamed websites in New Zealand, the land…

Final Fantasy XIII Soundtrack: The Trailer
Final Fantasy XIII‘s soundtrack is so epic that it warrants its own, 2-minute long Japanese trailer. This trailer, which also appears on Square Enix‘s Japanese website for the game, makes it even harder for me to wait until the end of next month to import the soundtrack for a ridiculous amount of money. McWhertor detailed…

Talk Amongst Yourselves
It’s the last TAY of 2009 folks, which is important, but it’s also the last TAY of December, which means we need a new image. You know what to do, at least that’s what the vacationing Stephen said. Fingers crossed! Confused about commenting on Kotaku? Read our FAQ.

A Retro Gaming Room I Could Die In
I’ve seen many a lovely retro gaming room in my lifetime, but this one from Netherlands resident donkey*kong makes me want to lay my head down on his Famicom pillow and quietly pass away. It may be a little Nintendo-centric, but you have to admire the guy’s passion. Just about every major and many minor…

North American Record Of Agarest War Trailer Is Completely Shameless
The North American trailer for Compile Heart’s breeding RPG Record of Agarest War knows its audience, and with blurred nudity and a borderline money shot, grabs them by the…well it isn’t the throat. There were two ways to market this game in the states. Either Aksys could play up the fighting system and gloss over…

The Twelve Days Of Atlus
Twelve days – twelve fabulous prizes. Atlus keeps the holiday spirit alive well into 2010 with twelve days of random prize packages for members of the Atlus Faithful. Look at that JPEG, filled with wondrous prizes. Atlus has bundled up twelve unique prize packages filled with some of those items and is giving them away…

Two Worlds II Is Too Good For Mundane Screenshots
Sure, Two Worlds II developer Reality Pump Studios will still release new normal screen shots, but they can be faked. Movies, on the other hand… …can still be faked. Along with these four new screens for Two Worlds II, Reality Pump has released a series of “MoveShots” at its website. “MoveShots” are tiny little videos…

Divinity 2: Becoming The Dragon
Your character in Larian Studios’ Divinity 2: Ego Draconis starts off as a dragon hunter, but quickly changes his tune once he becomes a dragon/human hybrid. Typical! At last, the hunter becomes the hunted…and the hunter…at the same time. There’s definitely some hunting going on, that’s for sure. Your character’s transition from Dragon Slayer to…

It’s A Good Day To Buy Castle Crashers
Microsoft delivers a late Christmas present to Xbox 360 owners, discounting Castle Crashers by more than 50% for one day only. The Behemoth‘s Castle Crashers is still one of the best things going on Xbox Live Arcade, and an excellent introduction to the service for folks who found a shiny new Xbox 360 under their…

A Mario Wedding Cake From The Best Bride Ever
If I ever get married again, I hope my future wife is at least half as amazing as “Bride of a True Geek,” who sends pictures and a delicious description of the wedding cake she had made for her husband-to-be. Not does the cake look and sound absolutely amazing, “Bride” here goes above and beyond,…

Rock Band Next Week: Rock, Rock, Rock N’ Roll High School
Along with the live Paul McCartney tracks mentioned previously, The Ramones return to Rock Band next week, with their one song worth any three Blink 182 or two songs from The Psychedelic Furs that might also be showing up. The three live Paul McCartney tunes Luke mentioned yesterday are joined by The Ramones classic “Rock…

Blood Bowl Teaser Hits Hard
This is why elves don’t generally make good football players. This teaser trailer goes along with yesterday’s announcement that SouthPeak is bringing Blood Bowl to retail next year, though I highly doubt the action in the PSP, PC, and Xbox 360 versions will be quite as entertaining as the video clip. After spending the better…

Meet Lost Planet 2’s Defolma
Defolma may not be a massive boss monster, but with squid-like arms, a mouth on the top of its head, and a penchant for tight spaces, the latest addition to Lost Planet 2‘s akrid population is nothing to scoff at. Oh fine, go ahead and scoff. It’s a squid with a mouth on its head.…

Paradox Interactive’s Holiday Greeting Is Certainly Majestic
Paradox Interactive, the developers behind Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim, tend to do things on a more epic scale. For instance, their holiday card came with its own dragon. I wasn’t expecting any packages today, so Paradox Interactive‘s holiday greeting took me by surprise. In fact, at first I didn’t even see the card,…

Rock Band Guitar Cited As Instrument Of Domestic Violence
The daughter of 43-year-old Blackstreet singer Teddy Riley has been granted a temporary restraining order against her dad after he allegedly abused his two daughters with a Rock Band guitar. See, Rock Band is all about bringing people together, not tearing families apart. According to documents filed in LA County Superior Court and reported by…

A Real Mario Is A Terrifying Mario
A man calls the plumbing company to complain about the two plumbers sent to fix his pipes, who instead go on a relatively subdued drug-fueled rampage in this College Humor video. It’s really not all that funny. I’d say slightly disturbing is more like it. Mario and Luigi are portrayed as the drug-crazed maniacs they’d…
