Star Destroyer Mod Brings Space Death To GTA V

*switches car radio to Imperial March* This video by TwoDynamic shows off two cool Star Wars mods for GTA V: one changes the blimp to an enormous Imperial Star Destroyer, the other lets you drive Luke’s landspeeder around Sadly they’re just cosmetic additions; the star destroyer won’t spew probe droids all over the mountains, and…

New Xbox One Controller Is Gorgeous

Alongside a new bundle announcement, Microsoft showed off this new Xbox One controller today. It’s official name is the “Xbox One Special Edition Lunar White Wireless Controller”. I like it a lot. The gold d-pad and central buttons are flashy enough to flash but restrained enough not to overwhelm the entire design, while the switch…

The Pokémon Company File Stupid Lawsuit Against PAX Party

The Pokémon Company, the business devoted entirely to managing all things Pokémon, has filed one hell of a lawsuit against the organisers of a PAX party that had been scheduled to go down last week. As Motherboard reports, the Unofficial Poke’mon (sic) PAX Kickoff Party is in trouble for two things: the first is using…

Rocket League “Goal” Is 100% Hype

Almost everything here is perfect. The build-up. The anticipation. The move, the shot, the agony, the ecstasy. Almost SPOILERS BELOW … … … …if the ending doesn’t make sense, the goal didn’t count. If the clock runs out and the ball is still in the air, the game continues until the ball hits the ground;…

Five Minutes Of Final Fantasy XV Driving (And Hair)

Final Fantasy XV, a game about the open road and expensive men’s haircare products, is out next year. Here is a trailer, courtesy of IGN, about a car, four dudes and “regalia”. This game looks utterly absurd. In the best way possible.

Disney Infinity 3.0: The Kotaku Review

I played the first Disney Infinity. Hated it. More importantly, my kids hated it too, because it had too many menus, janky controls and some tedious mission design. Yet here we are, having skipped the sequel, for Dadtakupurposes playing our way through Disney Infinity 3.0. Or as most kids will know it, “the Star Wars…

Meet the latest Amiibo: Shovel Knight. An indie game character! Nice move, Nintendo. He’ll unlock extra stuff in the Wii U and 3DS versions of Shovel Knight.

The Most Beautiful Consoles Are Made By Hand

When a company like Sony or Nintendo or Microsoft designs a console (or handheld), they have a few things to worry about, like keeping prices as low as possible while ensuring everything still works. But what if that wasn’t an obstacle for games hardware? What if they could be as beautiful as any other piece…

Peach vs Zelda Fight Is Not For Children’s Eyes

This is not how Nintendo handles fight scenes. I mean, for one, Nintendo would have written a better set-up than “golfing mishap”. But they also would have eased up on the “brutal action movie kicks to the face”. Zelda is Olivia Wells, Peach is Raven Duda

Leela Cosplay From The World Of Tomorrow

Cosplaying as Leela from Futurama isn’t as easy as it, ahem, looks. Getting the single eye to sit/look right on a normal human’s face is a tough ask! Holly Brooke has a novel solution here, though, with help Keroga Forge, who made the gun. Photo by Lucky Monkey
