We’ve been curious about how Call of Duty will run on Sony’s handheld Vita console ever since we first heard about the game, and today at Sony’s Gamescom press conference, we got a look at Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified in action. You can see the game doing its thing above. It looks… well,…
This new trailer for Naughty Dog’s The Last Of Us doesn’t show a whole lot of new stuff, but it shows it in a way we haven’t yet seen—accompanied by the wistful words of Hank Williams’ “Alone And Forsaken.” Those lyrics, via A Hank Williams Journal (where they have chords, should you want to strum…
At Sony’s Gamescom press conference, we got a look at a new montage of gameplay footage from the fall’s Vita exclusive Assassin’s Creed III Liberation. In the video, Liberation protagonist Aveline broke out some new tricks, from a guard-dropping blowgun to a bullwhip to some heavy alligator wrestling. Last week, I saw more of the…
As long as we’re posting dialogue bits that we enjoy, I thought that this fine Monday evening I’d share my favorite line from Speed. Which is saying something! I don’t know why, but my sister, friends and I would repeat this line—Cans! It was cans!—over and over and over again, laughing and laughing. Evidently we…
Did you feel slightly on edge when you got out of bed this morning? Like your world was just a little bit more dangerous? As you went about your day, did you have the sense that you were… hunted? Well, that might be because IT’S MOTHER EFFIN SHARK WEEK, YO. Shark Week is the Discovery…
Here now, the new Gamescom trailer for Injustice: Gods Among Us, featuring a ton of but-whipping (geddit?) by the one and only Catwoman. Dang, girl! Those are some serious claws you’ve got there. (Via Ed Boon)
Before you get all super excited about “OMG System Shock 2 remake,” well… this isn’t one. What it is is a fun way to imagine what one of the greatest games of all time would look like with a more current engine. Inspired by those images depicting what BioShock would look like in Crytek’s CryEngine…

There have been approximately one billion tribute, cover, and parody versions of Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Used To Know.’ One of my favorites was this amazing Star Wars parody, but this shredding solo acoustic guitar version by Mike Dawes is another contender. There are so many different versions, actually, that Gotye himself has mashed up…
We’re only getting a taste of the onslaught of great user-generated levels for the PS3 and Vita’s splendid (SPLENDID) Sound Shapes. This one, created by Alejandro Quan-Madrid, for Bitmob, cleverly builds the skyline of L.A., then lines it up with actual footage of the city. Evan’s perusing all of the user-generated content for more great…
I don’t know why, but a ton of people I know on Twitter have been talking about and rewatching The X-Files. (Clarification: This phenomenon pre-dates rumors that Mulder and Scully had gotten together in real life (which have since been debunked?) though I’m sure that’s contributing lately.) I remembered from my time watching the show…
Earlier this week, I shared my story of falling in love with playing video games (and working) at a standing desk. In this video found via Reddit, YouTuber Happy Jack enthusiastically shows off his standing desk, which he made out of an art easel (nice call!) and actually uses an Ergotron monitor holder (Ergotron makes…
Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and even Super Pac-Man… all video games. But not Super PAC—despite its similar name, a Super PAC is in no way related to Pac-Man. It’s a term for a controversial type of political action group that’s able to accept an unlimited amount of campaign donations and in so doing get around some…
Slenderman, that terrifying faceless ghoul in a suit, has been around for a good long while before that stripped-down, scary video game Slender hopped into the public eye. He’s a long-standing meme going back years, and he’s turned up everywhere from the YouTube Series Marble Hornets to.. well, to a Skrillex video from last year.…
A string of bad news about one of the most anticipated games on the planet might be giving BioShock Infinite fans cause for concern. But the game’s creative director, Ken Levine, tried to allay concerns during a call with Kotaku today. He did so on the heels of us learning some surprising details about Infinite‘s…
Hello, baby. How are you today? I just wanted to tell you I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the things I’ve done, I’m sorry for the way I am. Let me make it up to you. Let me play you a love song on this plant I brought. This video of “Botanicus Interacticus,” comest to us…
“I could barely see my vision was so blurry and grey but I wasn’t going down without a fight. I squeezed off as many rounds from my .45 revolver into those blood thirsty monsters as I could manage. I dropped about 15 before I passed out from blood loss. I woke up to see more…
