Draw Something 2 was announced today, by… Ryan Seacrest
When I first saw There Came An Echo, the Wil Wheaton-supported Kickstarter project whose creators want $90,000 to make a voice-controlled real-time strategy game, I thought it was kind of absurd. Voice commands? Who wants to use some sort of gimmick to play an RTS? What’s wrong with a mouse and keyboard? So while chatting…

Capcom just released the introductory cinematic to Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, which comes out March 19 for Wii U and 3DS. Gorgeous, don’t you think? Too bad the real game doesn’t look like this.
Over the past few days, I’ve been talking to multiple sources about Star Wars: First Assault, the troubled multiplayer shooter that could be LucasArts’s downloadable take on Battlefield and Call of Duty Today Kotaku can reveal gameplay footage from the Star Wars shooter, which has not been announced and may never actually make it out…
Holy crap. HOLY CRAP. Five years after its unceremonious demise, Veronica Mars could be coming back in movie form, if creator Rob Thomas and star Kristen Bell can raise $2 million on Kickstarter to make it happen If you’ve never watched Veronica Mars, or if you’ve scoffed at it because it sounds like a shitty…
Hardware maker Xi3 has addressed today’s confusion, telling Kotaku tonight that despite Valve’s statements this morning, the Steam makers actually asked Xi3 to design the Piston PC. In a strange statement this morning, Valve distanced themselves from Piston, a living-room-friendly PC that some have taken to calling an unofficial ‘Steam Box’ because it is designed…
