Sonic Utopia is a fan-made game being made by a small team who want to“expand on Sonic gameplay in an intuitive way in 3D”, while at the same time “capture the best of Sonic’s style and tie it together in a cohesive experience”. The animation and art look cool! They also show off the fundamental…

The Nintendo Switch shown in the console’s debut trailer is grey. This being Nintendo, though, you can be sure that other shades and variations will be coming. TheGrumpyCat decided to get out ahead of Nintendo’s marketing and mock up a range of Switches. White ones, red ones, there are even Famicom and NES variants, throwback…
Sean Bean is not the star of Civilization VI. But he is easily one of the highlights. The role of Civilization tech narrator, despite sounding boring as hell, is actually a pretty famous one! Leonard Nimoy, for example, was incredible in the job, turning a dull series of quotes into a real treat every time…
Some GAME stores in the UK are charging people to try the new PlayStation VR headset. Not to buy it. Just to try it. £15 is just over USD$18 in this post-Brexit world. The fact they’re charging at all is nuts, but charging that much is insane. While some stores, like the one above, are…
That’s one hell of an intro for a turn-based strategy game you’ve got there, Civilization VI After six years—six years!!—we’ve finally got our hands on a brand new Civilization game. I only started playing the final release today, though, so if you’re expecting a full review of the game in the next few days, sorry,…
Shenzi is a cosplayer from France who specialises in the kind of characters who will put on some space armour (or at least some fictional armour) then go shoot the place up. Her Witcher and Mass Effect cosplay is fantastic, but that 40K stuff is from another dimension. Also, a round of applause for any…
Rudeism likes to play video games with weird controllers. So yeah, here he is playing Overwatch—as Hanzo—using a nerf bow. He’s done something similar recently, playing as D.Va using joysticks and as Winston using bananas, but there’s something about that pissy little bow that’s more entertaining. It just…fits playing as fucking Hanzo In case you…

Track: Sark | Artist: Occam’s Laser | Album: The Grid Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to at the moment.
Tomorrow morning (October 20) at 7amPT/10amET, Nintendo will release the first trailer for the NX, its next console. Exciting times! We’ve heard reports that the NX is a small, portable console with detachable controllers, which you can either use on the road or plugged into a TV via a dock. Guess we don’t have long…
Oriental Empires is still in Early Access, but from what I’ve played so far of the ambitious 4X strategy game—which blends elements of the Total War and Civilization series—I see a lot of promise. The influence of the former is clear not only from screenshots, but from playing the game. It just feels like a…
Troy Baker does voice work for almost every video game released on every platform made by every company. He was even in Persona 4. He will not, however, be in the English-language version of Persona 5 Instead, these folks will be handling dub duties: Xander Mobus: Protagonist Cassandra Morris: Morgana Max Mittelman: Ryuji Sakamoto Erika…
Here’s the thing about most Australian characters in video games: their stereotypical depiction would be almost offensive, if Australians ever gave enough of a shit to be offended in the first place. Most big games are still made in the US, and in America a particular stereotype of Australia exists that has lingered since the…
Tu Bui is an artist at Respawn, where he’s worked on both Titanfall games. We’ve featured some of his work beforein larger galleries for the series, but today’s a good day to run some of his stuff on its own. You can see more of Bui’s work at his ArtStation page To see the images…
Russian cosplayer Songbird pretty much is Mara Sov, Queen of Destiny’s Awoken. That Ghost is a nice touch.
This is my kind of streaming.
Stardock is rebooting Star Control. Here’s hoping this turns out OK, because I remember II being cool as hell.
