Just so you know, actor Mark Ruffalo – of The Avengers fame – has a favourite Pokémon. And that favourite Pokémon is Squirtle.
Last year’s FIFA was good, but when I got the game again on Xbox One (I originally reviewed the last-gen version), I was a little disappointed. Aside from 3D crowds, it didn’t seem very next-gen. Maybe a bunch of grass effects and fancy hair can change that. Some of the stuff in this clip is…
If you’d asked my teenage self what I wanted the classic SWAT series to look like in 2014, I’d have first asked that it still actually be around in 2014. Since it’s not, though, Due Process – an indie multiplayer shooter – is getting pretty close. As you can see in the video, which is…
Yakuza 5 was released in Japan in December 2012. It is yet to see a release in the West. Sega, we are still waiting. Hurry up
St. Stephens Church in Edinburgh is nearly 200 years old, and until recently was in danger of being sold off and turned into “private flats or a bar- restaurant complex”. Enter Leslie Benzies, president of Grand Theft Auto developers Rockstar North. A resident of the Stockbridge area where the church is located, it’s thought Benzies paid…
Track: Greyish Tapering Ash| Album: Rivers Arms | Artist: Balmorhea Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
This Oculus Rift experience is like Tron. Only instead of being stuck inside an arcade game you’re stuck inside the mind of a Sonic fan (or Sonic meme artist). I’m probably most impressed with the amount of research that went into building all these models. It’s like a zoo for Sanic and running fast. If…
“Bayonetta’s not the kind of girl who’d show up with the same hairstyle for her sequel”, writes artist Mari Shimazaki. “A girl can be known to change her hairstyle depending on her mood, so I guess Bayonetta was in the mood for something short.” Shimazaki, who designed Bayonetta in the first place (and has also…
Seeing as gun control is such a hot-button topic in the US, the most successful arguments (from either side) often have to be the most subtle. And this might be the first time the use of duelling dildos has ever been seen as…subtle? So, yeah, keep your weapons of war locked up and away from…
To most folks, Rock Simulator 2014 is an internet joke. To some, though, it’s an opportunity to throw some cash at the way of the game’s “development team”. An IndieGoGo campaign for the project/joke set itself a rather modest target of $500, and has already gone past it. That doesn’t sound like much when compared…
There’s been some controversy over the weekend surrounding Valve’s big DOTA 2 tournament, The International, and how the company (and one team involved) has handled the roster of one of the competing teams. That team is Fnatic, and the player at the centre of the mess is Adrian “Era” Kryeziu (pictured, below), who suffers from…

The Journey Down is one of the best-looking games around, thanks to its exquisite hand-crafted visuals. The first chapter of the point-and-click adventure has been available for ages, but the second chapter is finally on the way, and it looks great. It’ll be out sometime this Summer. The Journey Down [Site]
You may have seen this video (by hunterlsanders) before. You may have heard this song (by Steve Duzz) before. But put them together and boy, you’ve got something special.
If you didn’t like the way things were panning out in survival sim/trouserless apocalypse Rust, that’s cool. The developers are chucking it in the bin and starting over. Garry Newman, boss of developers Facepunch (and creator of Garry’s Mod), tells PCGamesN that Rust was actually built atop the code of a different game the team…
“For a long time, there has been one game missing from the market”, reads the introduction to my new favourite Steam Greenlight project. “A genuine rock simulator.” This simulator is a rock enthusiasts dream. You can watch beautiful rocks in any location in the world. From grass plains to salt flats, there are dozens of…
Kelly Smith is an artist and animator at Capybara Games, the developers of games like Super Time Force. So yeah, this gonna get colourful, and it’s gonna get awesome. You can see more of Kelly’s work at her personal site To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough, so…
Blizzard is continuing the process of sprucing up the visuals of the ageing World of Warcraft, and the next race to have their facelift shown off are the humans. Who now look like Homo sapiens, rather than Homo neanderthalensis. As you’ll see, the basic shape and characteristics are almost the same. The new human is…
Since their inception, video game bosses have been all about challenge, action, endurance and repeated death. But what if there was a shorter, better way? The sad passing of Eli Wallach this week had me watching The Good, The Bad & The Ugly for the 1000th time last night, and the one scene that slapped…
