Last week, something very cool happened: the Internet Archive devised a way for people to play classic DOS games inside an actual tweet. Hope you got your fun in on Friday, though, because Twitter have since pulled the plug. The change took place over the weekend. Visit any of the tweets, like mine here, and…

Let’s say you’ve got a tiny kid who won’t sleep. Or you’re a grown human who just enjoys smooth saxophone and video games. Those falling into either camp should check out Prescription for Sleep: Game Music Lullabies They’re a series of covers of famous game themes, from Final Fantasy to Metal Gear, only instead of…
X-Wing Alliance, the last proper space sim set in the Star Wars universe, was released in 1999. The 20th century. The chances of us getting another one are approximately 3722 to 1. But that’s OK! We can always dream. And hope that this indie game actually gets made. This is STAR FORCE. It’s a space…

Oh Grand Theft Auto V on PC, will your wonders ever cease? Here’s a video by Abstract Mode showing various Jackass stunts begin recreated in the game by Trevor-O. And some stunts that would have been on the show if Jackass had to answer to the laws of video game gravity instead of real world…
Well, this doesn’t look like canon. Which is a shame. Something like Asura’s Wrath, only starring Pokémon that look like this…that is something I would play, Nintendo. Thanks. If you’re wondering who the black Pokémon is, it’s Umbreon Cosplay by SpiritRising7, photos by B1NH Photography & Miss Ansa
For those tired of towering over their cities like a God, there’s this Cities: Skylines mod that lets you pilot a chopper around, shining a giant spotlight into people’s faces. It’s still in alpha, but youcan grab it here if you want to try it out.
Simon Stålenhag, an artist we featured last year on Fine Art, has launched a Kickstarter for two books based on his “alien robots in 80s Scandinavia” stuff. They look awesome!
You’ll probably never get a proper Warcraft game again. Dungeon Keeper’s name is now mud. If you’re a fan of either series (or, both), and want to play those kind of games again, you’re not getting any help from Blizzard or EA. You might want to look to smaller companies—like Realmforge—instead. They’ve just released a…
But Kotaku writer, I hear you ponder, the Nintendo DS was incapable of getting anywhere near a resolution you’d call “high”, how could this be? The answer: emulation. Via this /r/games thread, the latest beta version of the Drastic emulator for Android has a feature that lets users test out high-res rendering for 3D objects…
Note this works for any game listed here (via Wired)

Sonder (still) sounds like a really cool game! To recap: it’s a sci-fi game where you don’t play as a single character, you play through the same events as every character. The more you observe and learn each time you play, the better prepared you’ll be for your next go through. Like Life is Strange,…
Track: Elektra | Artist: Refused | Album: Freedom Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
One of the all-time great adaptations was this animated spectacular

The Elder Scrolls Online: Tales of Tamriel is an artbook about a video game’s story, not the video game itself. Yes, it’s technically an accompaniment to the Online game, and yes, it carries its name, but by being full of fictional text and general Elder Scrolls-y artwork, I guess it can appeal to people who…
Not everyone who has GTA V on PC and is recording it is trying to be funny. The increased draw distance and improved lighting also makes for some very pretty transitions between night and day, as seen in this timelapse video by Tree Plays.
The shitty new Joker was revealed on Friday night. Hours later, on Saturday, this cosplayer was spotted by Casey Ramone at Wizard World Las Vegas. That is some fast cosplay work. If anyone knows who the speedy gentleman is in the make-up, let me know! UPDATE: Joker is Mad Tony, a member of the Guardians…
