Last year, I reviewed a Roccat keyboard and it wasn’t the greatest. Let’s see if this year things get any better. I’m taking a look at the Ryos MK Pro, which doesn’t appear to be brand new, but is still the company’s “flagship” gaming keyboard. After a couple of days of constant use, for both…
The R-Kaid-R has a very practical purpose. It’s a portable emulator machine with an arcade stick, meaning you can play loads of your favourite classic games the way they were supposed to be played, anywhere you want. Which is all well and good, but whatever. Just look at it. The wooden box, the retro styling…
Production Company Tool wanted a slick virtual reality demo to take to the Cannes Lions Advertising Festival. So they recreated the town of South Park, and now you can visit too. Taking cues from both the RPG Stick of Truth, as well as the season 17 intro, South Park VR is available here for anyone…
Neko-Tin, who’s been featured on Kotaku before for her Final Fantasy cosplay, dresses here as Zelda. And not the good kind of Zelda, either. Photo by Marico.
He kills hundreds of people in his Assassin’s Creed games. Depending on your playstyle, that tally might actually be in the thousands. But even with a knife in your neck, know that Ezio wishes you nothing but the very best in the afterlife.
The art you’re seeing here is the work of Michal Kus, a concept artist who works with EA in the UK. Note that the Skyrim and Mirror’s Edge pieces are fanart. You can see more of Michal’s stuff at his personal site and ArtStation page. To see the larger pics in all their glory (or,…
There’s a new Bomberman clone on the Wii U’s eShop called Bombing Bastards. I’m still giggling that Nintendo, of all companies, is cool with a game being sold on its store with a name like that. There’s the eShop listing, just as proof. Note that last year, Stealth Bastard had to change its name to…
It’s tough – as it should be, given the amount of competition – making any kind of money off streaming service Twitch. Unless, that is, your tip jar is paid a visit by a mysterious figure known only as “Amhai”. Over the past year or so, several streamers – many of them playing World of…
Logan Faerber did these fantastic Pokémon images, in which ” trainers reflect their Pokemon in some subtle way, such as hair style, body shape, pose, etc.” You can see more of Logan’s work at his personal site
Luke Clough is a freelance artist who has done loads of work in the video game business. You can see more of Luke’s stuff at his personal site To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough, so you can save them as wallpaper), click on the “expand” button in…
Link, steeled for the quest ahead, rides into battle clutching the one thing that’s going to save his ass: a cucco. This was done by Paul Canavan, an artist we’ve actually featured here before. You can see more of his stuff here
I’ve seen some quality Garrus cosplay in my time, but never something this damn impressive. There’s so much quality here, from the brushed metal effect on the armour to the hands, but it’s the face that gets me. It’s just so perfect. Cosplay is by Sarrah Wilkinson, photos by Sam Mort
Today, July 1, Age of Empires Online is no more. Few will mourn its passing, but many more will nevertheless look to its demise as a sad event, given the attachment people once had to the words “Age of Empires”. The first Age of Empires, released in 1999, was amazing. As was its medieval sequel.…
A dark, moody film about the early days of Sam Fisher sounds like the kind of thing Hollywood would want to dabble in. They’ve been beaten to the punch, though, by this impressive-looking fan project. You have no idea how many of these sorts of things we see every week. No idea. And so many…
League of Legends’ public chat rooms have long been crawling with scammers and all other manner of assholes. So developers Riot have decided to shut them down. It’s a decision that’s all down to moderation. Or lack of it. The way the rooms are currently built means that there’s only an “ignore” button available, when…
He slices. He dices. And it all looks a lot more fun than running your finger across a phone screen. I pressed play on this and thought, whatever man, I can do that one or two times in a row. Then he kept going. And going. And going. And he absolutely will not stop, ever,…
Track: Adeltron| Album: Instruments | Artist: The Extremities Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
Earlier this year, we took a look at a very pretty strategy game called Duelyst. Anton Fadeev is one of the artists working on that game. I don’t care how this game ends up playing. I could just look at this stuff all day long and be happy enough. You can see more of Anton’s…
As funny as it was in places, actor Peter Dinklage – who we know can really punch out some great lines – gave a surprisingly terrible performance in the Destiny Alpha. But it’s OK! He’s got plenty of time to make things right. Destiny developers Bungie have provided a FAQ following the game’s alpha, and…
Because I enjoy hurting myself and all those around me, I’ve got back into Civilization V recently. This time around, though, without a new expansion to review, I figured I’d try out some mods to help make the game a little fresher. While there are no shortage of funny/stupid/fantasy mods out there, transforming the game…
