The Best 90s Adventure Games We Never Got

Most of artist Matthew Frith’s work looks like it was part of the best 90’s adventure game never made. Which is exactly how I likemy pixel art. There’s lots of original stuff in there, but also tributes to shows that don’t have 90’s adventure games based on them but easily could. Arrested Development, I’m looking…

I Hope Bear Senpai Notices Me…

Street Fighter, Improved With A Furious Goat

It’s probably Street Fighter’s biggest shortfall. The fact it focuses solely on bipedal, humanoid fighters. Imagine the possibilities if the roster could be expanded to include man’s surliest foe, the goat. It would also fill a gap in the market, since Goat Simulator leaves out the part where the humans try and fight back about…

Metroid Cosplay Is So Good It Might Be Witchcraft

There are a few ways you can make an impressive suit of cosplay armour. You could cast it. You could forge it. You could sculpt it! Or, you could do what Chelsea did here, and use the dark sorcery of 3D printers. Not everything here was made using a magic box, which is able to…

Fans Are Remaking Ocarina Of Time (In 2D)

We’ve seen people make static maps, sure, but this is something else entirely. This is an attempt to bring the entire game of Ocarina of Time from the 3D world of the N64 to the 2D world of the SNES (or, well, the PC). It’s nothing if not ambitious. There’s a day/night cycle, a downgraded…

Yes, Even Duke Nukem Is Art

In this case quite literally, as artist Aram Bartholl explores in his exhibition called Hurt Me Plenty, which uses games like Duke Nukem 3D and Doom as a case study in perspective and immersion.

How Nintendo Convinced The World To Buy A Weird Mario Game

Gail Tilden used to work at Nintendo. She was one of the founding editors of Nintendo Power, so knows better than most people how the company was able to sell one of Mario’s strangest moments – a game that wasn’t even really a Mario game – to the world. In this excerpt from Jon Irwin’s…

Luis Suarez Can’t Bite Any FIFA Players Until October 26

FIFA 15 is out already. And while he’s in the game, notorious Uruguayan strike Luis Suarez has had his availability cut to match the suspension he received in the real world for biting during the World Cup. I never actually tried this, since playing as Barcelona is practically playing the game on auto-pilot, but if…

FIFA 15: The Kotaku Review

The more things change, the more they stay the same. This review is going to be a little different to those you normally see here on Kotaku. I figured I’d do it via bullet-points, since that’s the language sports games tend to speak these days. WHAT’S NEW FIFA’s crown jewel has long been the fact…

Destiny, Call Of Duty Servers Brought Down. Again.

Seemingly continuing with their recent attemptsat being the video game internet’s biggest pain in the ass, a group calling themselves Lizard Squad have taken responsibility for the server problems that have brought down both Destiny and Call of Duty Ghosts tonight. If it really is them – it’s not like Bungie are going to come…

Like Watchmen, Only For Steam Games

People are now curating Steam games. But who curates the curators? These guys do. Steam Curator Curator is “curating curation for those who don’t know what they want but want someone to tell them who should tell them what they might want!”. Recommendations are broken down into handy sections like “curators that wear glasses” and…
