This is something we’ve looked at in detail before, but an email flew into my inbox last week that was so hilarious I thought it was worth sharing. To recap: in this job, when sent a copy of a game for review, you’ll often also be sent a list of restrictions of things you can…
Track: Nice Day to go to the Pub | Artist: Cosmic Psychos | Album: Glorius Barsteds Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
The chances of there ever being a live-action Kingdom Hearts are, mercifully, almost zero. But if it ever did happen, it wouldn’t be a disaster if it looked this…literal. Sora is Jin, Kairi is Sarah. Photo byJulie Wawawa

PlayStation TV: good idea, poor execution. Mostly because there were a ton of great Vita games that the little box wouldn’t support. But hey, where Sony came up short, users are getting the job done. While Sony had a reason to exclude a bunch of Vita games from PSTV support—traditional controllers couldn’t replicate things like…
For a lot of people it’s the only game they play anyway, so why not make a shrine to it? AnthonyMJohnson, who recently began building custom arcade cabinets, decided to build one for League, and it looks great! It took a few days to get all the necessary images and plans together, but the time…
The King is dead. Long live the King. For almost as long as I’ve been comparing these two games—traditional “reviews” seemed increasingly pointless as the years wore on, especially since people generally only wanted to know which of the two they should side for—one has been outright better than the other. EA’s FIFA, flush with…
SAG-AFTRA, the union which looks after voice actors (among loads of other jobs), is mulling over whether to strike in order to obtain better conditions for its members. Top image by Gareth Dutton Specifically, they want it enshrined in contacts that there’s better protection and pay for when a role requires physically demanding voice work…
Arthur Bozonnet is a freelance concept artist and illustrator from France. If you play Hearthstone, you might have seen some of his work. You can see more of Arthur’s stuff at his personal site and ArtStation page To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough, so you can save…
Oh hey, our video guys have put together a cool little documentary thing about speedrunners. It’ll go live at noon ET tomorrow. In case you’ve missed it, here are a couple of previous episodes of our new series Compete:
Track: The Yabba | Artist: Battles | Album: La Di Da Di Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
DOTA’s Lina and Windranger, by Wicked Cosplay
There’s a lot that can go wrong for a video game in its first week of release. Bugs, server problems…even shady PR agencies who break Steam’s rules
Some excellent Guardians of the Galaxy cosplay. More shots here!
Track: Two Urns | Artist: Windhand| Album: Grief’s Eternal Flower Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
I’ve said this before, but if they were a few bucks cheaper I think Disney Infinity’s toys are so cool that they’d be viable purchases as, well, just toys, the game be damned. So it’s a pleasure on Fine Art today to highlight the work of Ian Jacobs, Senior Character Artist at Disney Interactive Studios.…
This is Destiny’s MIDA Multi-tool Scout Rifle. Elliott Feldman spent a few months building it, and he’s done a hell of a job. I like two things in particular: the small details (like a removable clip and sliding trigger mechanism) and the fact he laughed at the notion of doing the normal LEGO builder thing…
Englishman Adam Jones, 24, doesn’t have a driver’s license. He’s never even sat a license exam. So when he was arrested last week by police for driving at over 100mph through the town of Grantham, his excuse was that he had “learned to drive on his Playstation.” As ITV reports (via Boing-Boing), Jones was arrested…
Christopher Poole, the founder of internet imageboard 4chan, has sold the company to Hiroyuki Nishimura, the founder of Japanese site 2channel, itself a direct inspiration for 4chan’s creation in the first place. The NY Times reports that Poole “declined to disclose the terms of the acquisition”, and also “does not expect to serve an active…
I know, I know, we’ve run a ton of Witcher 3 cosplay lately, but they’ve all been based on the ladies of the game. This? This is some A+ Wild Hunt cosplay. It’s getting frosty in here… Both Eredin and Imlerith are by French cosplayer Tarrer, while the Wild Hunt rider is by compatriot Kuma.…
