It might have been the Dreamcast’s 16th birthday in America a few months back, but today actually marks the console’s full and proper 17th birthday, since it was on November 27, 1998 that the Dreamcast was first released in Japan. RIP, little guy. Your controller is still a thing of wonder (Top image by BLUEamnesiac)

Oh, this looks cool. Translator Clyde Mandelin (Attack on Titan, Summer Wars) has turned his websiteinto a book called Legends of Localization: The Legend of Zelda, which digs very deep into the changes and quirks that separate the Japanese and English versions of the very first Legend of Zelda, from character traits to sound files.…
While Ideclared PES 2016 to be the winner in this year’s football game showdown, the game isn’t without its problems. For starters, the PC version is a joke. Then there’s the matter of how badly Konami have screwed up the game’s roster updates. Having accurate player rosters is a big deal for sports games; along…
Yes, there is a good use for all that pre-war money just lying around the place. If you want to try this at home, liftislyfe says it’s 1270 stacks of cash.
Tombs, snowy mountains, sunken ships, bad dudes with guns, Lara looking ready to kick some ass…yup, this is Tomb Raider (which Evan thought was pretty good) On Friday, Titan will be relasing a Rise of the Tomb Raider art book, which is hardcover and runs around 190 pages. You can get it here In the…
For twenty years, Namco Bandai has held patent US 5718632 A, which has given them ownership of the idea of a loading screen minigame. On November 27 (this Friday), that patent expires. This is a big deal! For two decades, companies that wanted to keep players busy during load times (likeRidge Racer’s amazing Galaga) either…
Track: Got a Woman | Artist: Eagles of Death Metal | Album: Zipper Down Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
Ever wonder what Gabe Newell does with all those mountains of Valve money? Well, one outlet was investing in a cooking company called ChefSteps back in 2012. “They talked to me like a scientist, like an engineer, and this isn’t how I thought people in the cooking world talked” Newell told Eater in an interview.…
Is Knights of the Old Republic even canon anymore? Ah, who cares, this terrific cosplay is now Star Wars cosplay canon. Saphirais Satele Shan, Blood Spider is Darth Revan. Photos by So Say We All And just so you know, no, they’re not real lightsabers.
Night Dive Studios, the team that released a HD version of System Shock, now own the rights to the series andare working on an all-new, “completely reimagined” version of the original game
It’s the holiday season. Maybe you like video games. Maybe a loved one is into video games. Maybe you want to get them (or ask for) something that celebrates the visual splendour of games without actually paying for software. If so, check this stuff out. As someone who spends a lot of his day fussing…
Here’s the first trailer for the upcoming Captain America: Civil War. Ever want to see Captain America give Iron Man a beatdown? Or check out Black Panther in action? Here you go.
Some cosplay photographers like to go nuts in photoshop, moving beyond simple image correction and into the realms of stuff like fake fireballs and lens flare. Me, I like things the old-fashioned way. That’s what’s so cool about this behind-the-scenes video detailing a recent shoot that cosplayer Lyz Brickley had with photographer Beethy(with help from…
How did Broforce get this far without a Highlander character? Ah well, never mind, it’s got one now. And a guy from Mortal Kombat, too. This clip (POST RELEASE CONTENT) is wonderful. Whoever is making the trailers over at Devolver—remember Tom Jones and giant balls?—you’re doing good work.
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is, as Assassin’s Creed games usually are, very pretty. Which is the result of a massive team of artists from all over the world working on the game. Below you’ll find a selection of some of the best of it, in a gallery comprising of over 60 images. It’s not reflecting the…
Overwatch, with its heavy MOBA influences, isn’t like other multiplayer first-person shooters. And the more I play of the game, the more I think that’s a very, very good thing. The thing I’ve enjoyed most about Overwatch so far is how extreme it’s been in designing its characters. With four distinct classes of combatant to…
The Elder Scrolls Online might not have taken the world by storm, but it has its fans. It also has some rather nice concept art. There’s a new book out called The Elder Scrolls Online: Tales of Tamriel – Vol. II: The Lore, which sounds like a giant Tolkien-esque tome, but like the first volume…
Republic Commando is one of the best—if not also underrated—Star Wars games ever made. Thing is, if you’ve wanted to play it on PC recently, you’ve been shit out of luck, since the game ran poorly (and didn’t look great) on modern graphics cards. Thankfully, there’s now one hell of a fix. Earlier this yearLeon280698…
