Steam made the move from US currency to the local dollarydoo in Australia today, and all publishers had to do to ensure a smooth transition was tick a box saying they now supported the Australian dollar. Loads of them, including Microsoft and Konami, forgot. As Kotaku Australia have catalogued, plenty of big games on Steam…

Insomniac’s Spider-Man for the PS4 is out, it’s good and it looks good. Because of that, let’s take a look at a range of concept and promotional art that went into the game’s creation. Most of the images you’ll see below are also available in Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Art of the Game, a new book…
Things have been a little grim for Fallout 76 since (and even before) launch, so some fans are trying to make their own fun with the game. Like RpTheHotrod, who is running around the wastelands of West Virginia pretending to be Fallout 4’s Preston Garvey, defender of Settlements. It’s achieved by combining “several audio clips…
Keyforge is a big new card game where every $40 starter set contains randomised cards, meaning no two players will have the same experience. Publishers Fantasy Flight say this results in “104 septillion possible deck combinations”, which might explain why some of the first batch contained some words they maybe shouldn’t have. See, the reason…
I know, we’ve already run our BlizzCon cosplay gallery, but there was a special event being held at the show this year that I thought deserved its own spotlight. It was called Project Ebon Blade, and involved dozens of World of Warcraft fans trying out a new twist on the game’s canon. With outfits based…

I reviewed Half-Life remake Black Mesa—which began development in 2004—six years ago. It was great, but it was also missing something: the game’s final act, set on the alien world of Xen. That’ll be out next year, and if you’re wondering why it’s taken so long, it’s because the section has been almost completely remade.…

While it has them during gameplay, the new Spyro Reignited Trilogy doesn’t have subtitles during its cutscenes. So anyone who is hearing impaired, or just likes to play with the sound down/off and wants to enjoy the game’s story, is shit out of luck. This is very much not normal, which is why what might…
EA’s Dante’s Inferno, released back in 2010, is a game you probably haven’t thought about in almost a decade. But animator Tal Peleg is out here doing superfan work, bringing the series back with a professionally made short film.

Krzysztof Piatek has been one of the revelations of the season so far, banging in 13 goals in just 11 games for Genoa. He might have been doing even better if he’d had any idea who his teammates were going to be before joining the club. In 2017-18 the young striker scored 21 goals for…
One of the few criticisms levelled at Frostpunk was that the city-building game only shipped with curated scenarios, not a more traditional (for the genre) sandbox mode. That’s about to change, with an “Endless Mode” due for release very soon. Coming as a free update for existing owners of the game, there’ll be two ways…

Because the shoes themselves have mostly been trash, Adidas has been leaning on gimmicks to try and make their big line of Dragon Ball sneakers more appealing. The latest example being these Vegeta kicks. Based on the Adidas Ultra Tech, and featuring Vegeta’s colour scheme, here’s what they look like from the side: I would…
I’ve been trying for three years now to get this site turned into a dedicated Witcher 3 cosplay blog, and while that hasn’t quite panned out like I was hoping, I’m going to keep on trying with shots like these. This is Ves & Roche from the Blue Stripes commando group, steadfast and strangely-dressed special…
