No images in the book! We added all of these just for the Kotaku article. Read more

If I get enough preorders, I might get on best-seller lists and be able to tell everyone that I’m a BEST-SELLING AUTHOR. And then I’d be able to write more books for all of you awesome people. Read more

Hahaha, well, you will in particular enjoy the chapters about Halo Wars, Destiny, and Star Wars 1313. The developers of Uncharted 4 and Dragon Age: Inquisition were also remarkably candid about the brutal crunch and struggles they had to overcome while making those games, and the story of how Eric Barone made Stardew Read more

This is the first time I have ever been happy with a commenter saying they aren’t going to read an article. Read more

My confusion was more along the lines of, how did the self-proclaimed King in the North and his crew of a dozen dudes get all the way across war-ravaged Westeros without running into any sort of bandits, pirates, soldiers, or psychic Greyjoys? Read more

You would enjoy Kotaku Splitscreen, on which we say multiple times, “chill, this is just a beta” Read more

Vaan’s hero’s journey is from “I suck” to “I still suck” Read more

Everyone should listen to Splitscreen to get the scoop on Kotaku articles before they happen. Also to get the scoop on weather before it happens. Read more

I haven’t bought any of the new commanders because I don’t want to spend $5 on any of them, but yeah, co-op is incredibly fun and I recommend it to anyone who’s into Starcraft. Read more

As I watched, I was wondering how the hell the three of them just sat there for eight hours without once getting up or even drinking water, and then I realized: they do this all the time. Regularly speedrunning a massive RPG means sitting down for 8-hour runs every month if not every week. Read more

The DS was full of adventure games, from Hotel Dusk to Phoenix Wright. And of course Gilbert’s first big hit Maniac Mansion was released on the NES (which obviously is a home console, but hey, the Switch is both). Read more
