And I’m not even talking about the soundtracks. I’m talking about my favourite audio experience of Civilization (I’m deep back into Civ V, so indulge me). The little soundbytes you get every time you earn a new tech. I blew through a fast-paced game on the weekend, meaning I got to hear all these in…
If current trends continue, there’ll soon come a time when I play more card/board games than video games. And when that time comes, I hope to be playing on something as extravagant as this. Geek Chic produce a range of gaming tables that make me wish I was in a job that paid a lot…
PlayStation Now, Sony’s streaming/renting service for games (well, somegames), is moving into open beta. A word on prices: they’re kinda ridiculous, though Sony says ” you will start seeing reduced pricing on some 4-hour rentals” in “a few weeks”.
Kenneth McCulloch, the developer arrestedlast year on child pornography charges, has been sentenced…to the 12 months jail time he’s already served awaiting his verdict. He’s still in custody though, having been subsequentlycharged with “sexual assault, forcible confinement and sexual interference”.
Cosplay video dudes Sneaky Zebra were at Comic-Con, filming some of the best, funniest and notable-for-any-other-reason outfits seen at the show.
I mean, it’s really rare (unless you’re a moron), but cell phone batteries can sometimes explode and/or catch fire. And while you’re probably OK laughing off the odds of it ever happening to you, take a look at this kid’s bed for the outlying exception. Ariel Tolfree, 13, says her Samsung Galaxy S4 slipped under…
The developers of Aegis Defenders describe it as a “16-bit tactical platformer”. It’s also a game that owes a lot of its gorgeous art style to the films of Studio Ghibli, Nausicaa in particular. Aegis Defenders is a class-based game, one that’ll feature singleplayer co-op, sort of like Trine, only here once you abandon one…
What starts (and continues) with a predictable race joke actually gets pretty good near the end. I’d never thought of Ganon that way. Poor kid. *sniff* [via Gamefreaks]
Track: Vultures Crown | Album: Beholden To Nothing And No One | Artist: Sunwølf Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
This Predator group cosplay is just…perfect. All of them. Perfect. If it bleeds, we can kill it.[reddit]

Taiwanese builder RC has made a range of custom accessory sets (head, clothes, etc) that will transform any standard 1/6 scale figure/doll into your very own Breaking Bad toy. Warning: it is not cheap. Because everything is being made entirely by hand, you’ll pay $115 just for Jessie’s head. Shoes are $85, and his clothing…
That’s one hell of a Levi. Especially when you see the work that went into the gear. Cosplay by Reika [thanks Sang!]
Hey, it’s LA Cops! When we lastsaw the game – which my brain registers as the Beastie Boys’ Sabotage video vs Syndicate – it was pretty early code. Now things are looking a bit more structured. In this clip, we see how the two-player mechanic works. We see a cop called Kowalski. We also see…
Selecting King of Pop grants the user +19 dexterity, but also +14 infamy. [via @LookItsX]
Kidding, because there is understandably Frozen cosplay everywhere. But there have been few better Annas than Amouranth’s
Naughty Dog’s Tal Peleg, the creator of Joel’s “Banderas” moment, has dropped the apocalypse survivor into another stupid gif, this time Jack Nicholson’s creepy smile/nod combo. For reference, Here’s the original: I wonder if he’s taking requests. If so…. Joel Nicholson [Vimeo, via ElTorro @ NeoGAF]

This is Jotun. It’s an “action-exploration” game, where you control a viking who has died an “inglorious death”. That doesn’t sound good. Because that kind of death doesn’t get you an express ticket to Valhalla, you’re stuck in purgatory fighting a bunch of monsters until you rack up enough Valhalla Points to get to, well,…
