Megatron Can Smell Your Xbox Live Avatar, Boy
Cover your hideous meat-face with a collection of attractive and stylish robot heads today, as Activision releases a set of Transformers gear onto the Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace. I’m not sure how I can tie this together with Thanksgiving Day, so we’ll just mutter incoherently about turkey or something and move on to the main…

Uncharted 2 Title Update Brings Free Map, Double Cash, Double Chins
A massive title update for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves drops this Friday, with a new multiplayer map, global and friend list leaderboards, and a double cash weekend. Unfortunately, Drake went a little overboard at Thanksgiving dinner. Actually Drake and Lazarevic both went a bit heavy on the brown food, so competitive matches over the double…

Star Trek Online Starship Tactics Part 2: You Got The Power
The second starship tactics video for Cryptic’s Star Trek Online discusses power management, starship repair, and boarding parties. I got a little excited when I heard the term ‘boarding parties’ in the video, but it turns out that the separation of starship combat and away missions remains intact, with boarding parties essentially acting as any…

A Little Bad Romance
Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” video features Wii nunchuck controllers, but we prefer a “Bad Romance” video with a slightly bigger gaming connection. Photographer and NeoGAFFer Brian Moreno found the only way to make Lady Gaga’s video more absurd. He definitely deserves Kudos. Failing that, regular granola bars will do. Little Bad Romance [YouTube via NeoGAF…

N is for Nirvana, who gave teen spirit a smell. N is for Night Ranger without “Sister Christian”, what the hell?

Make-A-Wish Kid Designs GameStop’s Holiday Gift Card
If it looks like GameStop’s 2009 holiday gift card was designed by a 12-year-old, that’s because it was. GameStop is donating $1 from every gift card purchased this holiday season to the Make-A-Wish foundation (up to $100,000), and they’ve gotten wish recipient Emily Adkins to pitch in with her own original artwork. “During the holidays,…

Tekken 6 PSP Is Out, And This Is What It Looks Like
The tiny handheld version of Tekken 6 is in stores and on the PlayStation Network today, and we’ve got a video showing you what you can expect from the tiny fighter. It looks like Namco Bandai did as fine a job porting over Tekken 6 to the PSP as they did Soulcalibur IV. I’d run…

A Holiday Message From The Society Against PlayStation
The recent batch of PlayStation 3 ads hearkens back to a simpler time, when all you needed to market your console was a little song, some puppets, and a stick. Ah yes, the 90’s. The console wars were so much better back then, when companies weren’t afraid to create obviously fake protest groups in order…

Splatterhouse Gets Appropriately Splattered Shoes
We weren’t sure if Namco Bandai was taking the new Splatterhouse game seriously until we saw the exclusive Globe International Superfly model Splatterhouse shoes. We’re big video game shoe fans here at Kotaku, though Crecente’s collection is far greater than mine. Perhaps I will 1UP him with a pair of Splatterhouse Superfly high tops. I…

Nightwing Is Still Nightwing In DC Universe Online
Dick Grayson might be running around in a Batman costume with Bruce Wayne’s son in the comics, but in DC Universe Online he’s still rocking the Escrima sticks as Nightwing. I thought DC Universe Online was going to try and coincide with the storylines currently happening in the comics, but apparently that isn’t the case.…
