AJ de Ocampo was at Japan Expo last weekend shooting some vids. Know that there is group Star Fox cosplay ahead.

Special Frozen PS4 Kinda Bothers Me Anyway

Japan being Japan, they’re getting another fancy new custom PS4 console before anyone else. Only this time, it’s not related to a game. It’s for a movie. You may have heard of it. To cash in on the upcoming release of Frozen on Blu-Ray/DVD/whatever, Sony Japan is releasing this custom PS4 that features a fairly…

New Cat Game, Same Old “Cats As Jerks” Story

Catlateral Damage has evolved into a fairly accurate simulation of your stereotypical asshole cat. Perdictably, though, it no longer has the “genre” to itself. This is Purrkour, part of the 2014 Indie Game Maker Contest. Still very much in alpha, and with rough edges all over the place as a result, I’ve nevertheless been having…

Sweet Trailer For Game That Sadly Does Not Exist

Eric Power is making a “cut paper stop motion” samurai flick called Path of Blood. There is no actual video game based on this movie, but screw it, Power made a trailer for one anyway. And now it makes me sad it’s not a thing. So cool. It’s actually not the first trailer he’s made;…

Map Of 6000 Street Fighter Players Shows Where They Live, Who They Use

Fighting game community site Event Hubs have done something neat: taking the main character preference and location data from over 6000 users currently playing Ultra Street Fighter IV, they’ve put together a map showing where they all live across the globe, and who they play as. Note that in the interests of privacy none of…

Alien Isolation’s Awesome 1979 Mode Will Be Available For Everyone

Isn’t it great there’ll be a way to play Alien Isolation using the film’s original cast? Wasn’t it stupid that this mode was announced as a preorder bonus? Well, “good” news: the content is going to be available to everyone, not just those preordering the game. Sega has released a short statement today that reads:…

Halo 3 Easter Egg Found After Seven Years

And you thought it was neat that there’d been a long-hidden Easter Egg in Halo: Reach. Whatever. One that’s been hiding inside Halo 3 – for seven long years – has finally been found. And it’s pretty sweet. Not sweet in a “whoah, that’s sweet!” kind of way. In a “awww, that’s sweet” kind of…

When To Be Wary Of Fantasy Characters With Ominous Horns

Nicholas Kole is an artist who has worked with companies like Disney, Dark Horse and 38 Studios. His latest work is this great tie-in with Maleficent, which he illustrated (and did the cover for).

Whose Bright Idea Was It To Put Mario Kart Underwater, Anyway?

There’s a reason Nintendo keep a very loose leash on “realism” in stuff like Mario Kart. Oh come on, don’t try and tell me you’ve never wondered how they survive so long down there…

Not Sure If Actual Thorin Oakenshield Actor Or Cosplayer

A physical likeness to the character you’re cosplaying as is never a necessity. But if you’ve got one anyway, boy does it have an effect. If you’re wondering, this was the winner in the cosplay stage event at the Salt Lake City FantasyCon.

If You Play Too Much Civilization, You Need Help

It’s not a problem, OK? It’s a disease I reinstalled Civ V the other day, and it has fucked me up. My family is away on holidays for a few weeks so I’m home alone, meaning that I’ve been sliding back into the very worst habits of a Civ fan, from ignoring my own “one…

You Can’t Fly GTA V Jets Like This Guy Can

Look, for the first few seconds of this video, I was as sceptical as you probably are. “Jet Elite Crew”? Haha, whatever. And this stuff with the bridges, impressive, but doable. But then you see what he does in the warehouse, or the wind farm, and it’s just ok, this is incredible

On Cliff Bleszinski, Zynga & Meetings

Cliff “Cliffy “Dude Huge” B” Bleszinski, formerly of Epic but on a break for a while, has a new gig. It’s being published by Nexon, but before signing on that dotted line, he met with pretty much everyone. And that included Zynga. In a Reddit AMA, Cliff says: I know so many folks at EA,…

11 Very Cool Takes On Wonder Woman

The wonderful Sketch Dailies showcase, which gets artists around the world to do drawings based on a theme, focused yesterday on Wonder Woman. Some of the results stuck pretty close to the character’s home turf, while others went a little crazy (in a good way). I’m not sure which is my favourite. I love how…

Track: Satan| Album: Satan Worshipping Doom | Artist: Bongripper Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
