It’s been two years since The Banner Saga was released on PC and mobile. This week, it’s out on PS4 and Xbox One, and if you haven’t played it yet, there aren’t many surprises in store: this is a good game that’s…still good. I wrote about the PC version at launch, praising the game’s visuals…

A lot of cool stuff went down at Awesome Games Done Quick last week (and over the weekend), but one of the best was a “2P1C” world record on Super Metroid. Where 2P1C stands for “two players one controller”. I wanted to share this last week but Twitch’s archiving and sharing is so terrible that…

Last week, Anel Mujkanovic walked into a Target store in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He then “took a handicap electric cart and drove around the store coming to a stop in the electronics aisle.

Crusader Kings II was released in 2012, and promptly became my Game Of The Year. And that was in its paltry vanilla state! In the years since, it’s gotten so much new content and so many big expansions that it’s practically become its own sequel. The latest is called Conclave, and unlike the expansions which…
For over three years, Figma’s Skyward Sword effort has been the best Zelda figure you could buy. In 2016, there’s a new challenger approaching.

There are already a number of mods out there which alter the appearance of Fallout 4, but they don’t go quite as far as this tweak, which makes the game look like it came from Telltale (or Gearbox) instead of Bethesda. It’s not a standalone mod; as Reddit_is_wrong (who made the screenshots) explains, they’re the…
A lot of very nice words have (surprisingly, given Unity’s qualities) been written about the latest Assassin’s Creed game, but there’s one thing a lot of them overlook: just how pretty this video game is. Yes, technically speaking, the “graphics” are nice. When it’s not giving off a weird shimmering effect or an AI routine…

Narga (who we’ve showcased here before) and her partner Aoki cosplay together under the banner Lifestream. And what better couple to cosplay as than Warcraft’s Alexstrasza and Krasus. There’s a little too much work being done after the fact here on some of the shots, but that doesn’t take anything away from the quality of…
When Hideo Kojima announced his new studio the other day, he did so by showing off a very fancy new 2D logo. Which artist Jarold Sng has decided to unofficially flesh out a little. Here’s the actual logo: And here’s Jarold’s take: Neat! We featured Jarold’s art on Kotaku last year, if you want to…
Some of the world’s most notorious video game pirates, denizens of Chinese hacking forum 3DM, are worried that over the next couple of years video games anti-copy protection will have gotten so good that they’ll be out of a job.

You may have heard there’s a new Katamari Damacy game on both iOS and Android. There is! It’s called Tap My Katamari. It is awful. I played it yesterday so you don’t have to.
