There has been an awakening. Whilethe new Star Wars movie crushes box office records across the US and Europe, let’s take this moment to consider that not every market awards box office victories based on cash money. Japan, for example, tracks movies based on the number of ticket sales, not how much money was made…
Track: Silent Night | Artist: Boyz II Men | Album: Christmas Interpretations Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
I got an early Christmas present yesterday when a copy of Assassin’s Creed: The Complete Visual History arrived at my doorstep. It’s a shame I’d already written my gift guide for art books, because this would have jumped straight on it. While Ubisoft is generally pretty good with its Assassin’s Creed art books, releasing one…
Corneline’s Priscilla was one of the nicest surprises in a year of very strong Witcher 3 cosplay, and that was just when we thought all she was doing was dressing up. Turns out she can sing Priscilla’s song as well (in French), and did so live in Paris earlier this year.
ThreeZero, makers of fine, large and expensive adult collectibles, is working on a Fallout 4 action figure. And it’s fantastic. See how he’s wearing power armour? And how it looks good, but not amazing? Well, the power armour can be removed, piece by piece, revealing not just the frame, but a Vault jumpsuit as well.…
Inspired by The Force Awakens, artist Vadu Amka decided to make a Star Wars console themed after the desert wreckage scattered all over the planet Jakku. It took him around 30 hours to make, and involved everything from hammered aluminium to sanding to melting tin sheets onto the thing. You can see more pics of…

Nicely done, rori3
2014 was a big year in cosplay. 2015? Even bigger From cons to private photoshoots to kids screwing around with junk and a sewing machine, cosplay has continued to explode in popularity across the globe. And the more people who take up the artform, the more amazing outfits we get. The images below, though, are…
Let’s imagine, for a moment, that Nintendo went a little crazy and made a sci-fi Zelda game. The end result could look a lot worse than this cosplay outfit by Ten D. Motomochi Snapped by Chocozumoat the Phoenix Comic Con, it’s actually a converted, Zelda-themed Spartan, with some nice touches like the Triforce of courage…
Ben Rose says he was sitting in his apartment last week playing Fallout 4 when he was hit by a runaway Hyundai Sonata and badly injured. Wait, what? As CBS’ local affiliate reports, the Irving man says he was in the middle of a Fallout 4 session on his Xbox One when the car, with…

This is Clustertruck. It’s a game about not falling off trucks. An indie title in development at Landfall Games, it’s due around April 2016, and is planned to include both a “Hollywoodesque” campaign “where everything tries to kill” you, along with a level editor.
ICO, a game that is as barren as they come, offers a small piece of solace when you reach a save point and a piece of music called Heal kicks in. Realising that there wasn’t a looping version of the very chill music available, reader Stephen Mlinarcik spliced on together. I’ve had it on in…
Turns out there’s a very good reason Just Cause 3 is full of cars and planes and choppers and grappling hooks and parachutes: its map is enormous Reader Conor—who suffers through this kind of thing for your enjoyment—plotted the farthest distance across land in Just Cause 3’s map and started strolling (and occasionally swimming). It…
This is Lady Angelus as Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s Evie Frye, perhaps the best-dressed video game character of 2015. Making this one of the best pieces of cosplay for 2015, as the work that went into the fine details of Evie’s suit (in this case the Bloofer Lady Outfit from the Victorian Legends DLC) is just…
There was an official Star Wars console released this year. It was…not great. Much better is this unofficial, custom-made Boba Fett effort for the Xbox One by Devin Smith It’s just…perfect. Not just the colours, but the wear & tear, digital counter and canvas “underwear” as well. This isn’t for general sale, but if you…
Well, this is a surprise. Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak—a game we heard nothing about for years until it broke cover in October—is coming out soon. Very soon. Deserts of Kharak is a prequel to the space-faring Homeworld series, set on the planet…Kharak, and is basically Homeworld, only with a ground. One neat twist is that…
