Here’s the intro to Blood & Wine, in which Geralt is encouraged to take up a fancy new contract and says farewell to the Northern Kingdoms.
You know those enormous space stations you can build in EVE Online now? PC Gamer has a cool story about the quest to build the first one packing a superweapon. A bootleg Death Star, if you will.
The Witcher 3’s final (and biggest) expansion, Blood & Wine, is now out. If you need me for the next month, that’s where I’ll be. To celebrate, here’s a Studio Ghibli-inspired crossover piece by Lap Pun Cheung, who is very good at this sort of thing
As I’ve said, Cities Skylines has its flaws as a city management game, but as a toy to build stuff with, it’s in a league of its own. As we see here, with inthoughtwelive’s near-perfect recreation of Seattle. It’s not perfect perfect, because Skylines has a stupid limit on the number of buildings you can…
I’ve taken nice shots in Uncharted 4’s photo mode, you’ve probably taken some too, but professional real world photographer Ray Soemarsono has us all beat with these incredible images. A top-shelf wedding photographer, Soemarsono obviously has a good eye for when to pull the trigger/shutter, because most of these look better than the pics that…
I quite liked Offworld Trading Company, and part of that was down to how good the game looked. For what could have been a very dry game (it’s basically a stock market simulator), it looks great, almost cute, with a wonderful, toy-like quality to the units and landscape. So it’s a pleasure to be able…
Thatlast attempt at an Age of Empires game is not what the people wanted. They want…well, probably something that looks more like this cute little animation by Shankwanger Here it is in full:
Last week, we looked at some of the best Overwatch cosplay going around. Now, only a few days later, it’s already time to make an addition to the ranks. Russian cosplayerJannet “Incosplay” Vinogradova’s Widowmaker here is just out of sight. And here’s a shot alongside Ardsami cosplay’s Tracer (which itself is awesome, that wig!), giving…
Remember thatinvisible lemur bug in Uncharted 4? Turns out it can also affect Drake himself, making one of the game’s key early scenes play out a little…differently. KHCloud captured this scene, which under normal circumstances is one of the most beautiful, human things we’ve had to sit through in a video game cutscene in a…

This Borderlands cosplay from Thousand-Faces is just ungh. I love how they’ve extended the cel-shading effect, letting it run off their make-up and all the way onto the outfits themselves. Photos by Insomniac Studios
Track: The Prospector | Artist: Edward Scissortongue &Lamplighter | Album: Chavassian Striking Distance Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
Given that Zootopia is an animated film about animals, you’d think effective Zootopia cosplay would be the reserve of furries. Turns out that’s not quite the case: some wigs and subtle but effective make-up work can also get the job done. This is gnitae as Judy Hopps, TimFowl as Nick Wilde and anna_berten as Dawn…
There are two ways you can cosplay as a Fallout vault survivor. One is how they appear in the actual game world. The other is how they’re depicted in the series’ pin-up posters. Russian cosplayer Galina Zhukovskaya (via Cosplay Blog) has gone for the latter.
Tony Temple has written one hell of a story about a “raid” on the The Duke of Lancaster, a beached and rotting former luxury liner in Wales that for over 30 years had hidden a treasure trove of classic arcade games inside its hold. The ship, built in 1956 to move passengers around in style,…
All Erik Flom wanted to do was stream Counter-Strike for nine hours. Microsoft had other ideas. Flom, aka fl0m (he’s a former pro CS player) had been livestreaming the game on his Twitch channel earlier this month when, whomp, Windows 10 did its thing, interrupting his session right in the middle of a game to…

Overwatch’s roster is a cosplayer’s dream, with pretty much every tone, shape and size accounted for in a collection of amazing character designs. Here are the best of them. So far. If there are any you think we’ve missed,let us know!
EVE Online’s political machinations have always been far more interesting than the game itself. And so it is with this RPS article on the gambling kingpins who are quietly taking over the space MMO
