The guy who made that one nifty Jay Z + Chrono Trigger mash-up has made another one
I (Kirk) wrote a whole thing about the challenges of living in San Francisco and my ambivalence about how it’s changed.
…Literally! This video from Prima Games shows how to get the “Devil Horns” weapon, which… well, it’s actually just a foam finger. Like, from sporting events? Yeah. They say it’s the most powerful weapon in the game. Makes sense. To get it, you’ll have to beat the game in classic mode. This is not the…
The upcoming sci-fi action/adventure game Remember Me has caught a lot of eyes around Kotaku way. Developed by Dontnod and published by Capcom, it’s a dystopian sci-fi stealth-brawler staring an amnesiac woman is remarkable enough, but the fact that the game lets you actually climb into someone’s memory and re-arrange it to affect the present…
“Boba Fett? BOBA Fett?? Where?” Yesterday, Disney’s CEO confirmed that in addition to the upcoming Star Wars trilogy, there will be all kinds of single-character spin-off films Today, Entertainment Weekly is reporting that one of those films will feature young Han Solo, and another will star Boba Fett. According to EW, the Han story will…
I’m a big fan of Metronomes. They’re the copy-editors of musical performance: they keep you honest. When my sister sent me this video of French beatboxer Alem playing along with a metronome, I thought, “Okay.” Then, he kicked up the tempo a notch and I thought, “Wow.” Then, he kicked it up another notch, and…
I think we’ve all been there: you’re young, you’re bored, you decide to write some poetry about your favorite video game. Actress/writer/musician/etc. Felicia Day sure seems to have been there, and she’s gone ahead and shared some of her 12-year-old self’s video-game poetry. It’s called “Avatar Isle,” and it’s a tribute to the Ultima series.…
If you’re interested in the new 3DS strategy game Fire Emblem: Awakening, you’ve probably heard two things about it: first, that if a character dies in battle, they’re gone for good. Second, that characters can fall in love and marry one another. In other words, the two constants in Fire Emblem: Awakening are marriage and…
We already knew that the newly minted Star Wars-owners at Disney are planning a new trilogy, the first film of which will be directed by nerd-king J.J. Abrams It’s also been heavily rumored that Disney would be making spin-off movies outside of the trilogy. Sounds like that is indeed the way it’s going to go…
We all get a little bit nostalgic from time to time. Childhood was so much fun; we could watch cartoons, eat candy all the time, and let our imaginations run wild. Doesn’t adulthood suck? Well… then again, adulthood has some stuff going for it too. We get to go to R-rated movies, and drink alcohol,…
Watching this video by ReiKo, you have to wonder if the people who made Halo 4 intended for players to be able to pull off some of the insane trick-jumps that they do. The spacing is just right, the trajectories lead perfectly from point to point… maybe they planned it this way? Hard to say.…
I was in third grade when I first heard that they were making a live-action version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. My tiny little third-grader brain couldn’t process it. This was well before I was cynical enough to start immediately complaining about how they were going to ruin everything—I was just gobsmacked at the very…
I rarely get too caught up chasing down achievements in games, but every so often they get under my skin. “Make it through Ravenholm without using a gun, eh? Alright, it’s on.” The feeling of accomplishment that comes with earning an achievement can be fleeting. What did I get, other than a little note that…
Opinions on Ed Key and David Kanaga’s newly released game Proteus are likely as mixed as the crowd at a Justin Bieber/Mastodon double-bill. Personally, I think it’s just lovely. It relaxes me, which certainly isn’t true of most games I play these days. It’s a rare game that just sort of is, and it manages…
We here at Kotaku have been having a lot of fun with rankings lately, from Halo to Grand Theft Auto to Final Fantasy to Pokémon. And now, it’s time to rank the big daddy of single-player RPGs: the Elder Scrolls series. Of course, when I say “big daddy,” I mean it: size is of the…
The first time I heard the battle music in Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, I thought, “Ugh.” That’s never a good sign. In a Japanese role-playing game like Ni no Kuni, the battle music is arguably the most important music in the game. Sure, the world-map music is crucial, but it’s the…
If you’re at all involved in PC modding, you probably frequent a Nexus Mods site. From Fallout: New Vegas to Skyrim, many games that allow for user-created mods have a Nexus site dedicated to organizing mods and bringing modders together. These sites are… incredible. And unless you want to pay for a premium membership, they’re…

When playing video games, it’s easy to get caught up in the notion of utility. Is this ability useful to me, does this skill make my character more powerful, will it improve the ratio of my numbers to my opponents’ numbers, robot, robot, numbers, beep, boop, etc. And so it goes with Ni no Kuni,…
