I’m a sucker for gimmick record packaging, and it doesn’t get more gimmicky (and awesome) as Cex’s latest album, which comes packed inside an old PS2 case and features GameFaqs-style print-outs for liner notes. Shipping in recycled GameStop PS2 pre-owned cases, the notes are the real highlight, as they nail old-school GameFaqs guides, right down…
A year ago, we first heard about Frontiers, a game that was looking a lot like an Elder Scrolls title, only it was being made by two people. Well, good news everyone: the project continues. The game’s now up on Steam Greenlight, and also has a new trailer. Note that there’s very little interaction with…
Sure, she’s got the power to tear holes in space and time, but BioShock Infinite still has Elizabeth cast as a damsel in distress, literally locked in a tower and in need of rescue. So cosplayer and artist Angela Bermudez figured, what would she look like if Elizabeth was the one doing the ass-kicking? Inspired…
Two years after leaving G4, veteran games journalist and TV presenter Adam Sessler is now seemingly leaving the field behind entirely. In a short blog post, he announces that after sixteen years in the field it’s time for something new. After some incredible achievements over the last year and a half, I am announcing my…
Despite having been out for a little while now, over the past 24 hours we’ve got a number of complaints from users saying that Thief has suddenly developed a nasty game-breaking bug. Likely the result of a recent update, the bug is stopping people from progressing past Chapter 4 in the game. We contacted Eidos,…
Naomi Baker is a concept artist who works at ArenaNet, the developers of the Guild Wars series. And this stuff is as good as anything else we’ve shared from her colleagues. Prior to her job at ArenaNet, Naomi had worked at places like Activision, Gree and Dark Horse. You can see more of Naomi’s work…
It’s been awesome on PS2 and Vita, so sure, why not make it a hat-trick and let Persona 4 be awesome on the PS3 as well. Perhaps as a stop-gap until the release of Persona 5 (in 2015), the ESRB has a listing for Persona 4 for the PlayStation 3. It could be a PS2…
Director D-Piddy and vocalist Charmie Sweets teamed up for this cosplay-themed parody of Pharrell Williams’ Happy, which changes the words to better suit the theme and stars, well, a whole bunch of amazing dancing cosplayers. I’m not sure what’s more impressive about Andrew’s Raiden; the dance moves or the fact that mask moves (you can…
It’s been a rough few weeks for mobile gaming, with stuff like ratings scamsand cloning scandals sapping people’s faith in the platform to delivery quality content. How nice it is, then, to sit down and play Monument Valley. I got the game on iPad last night, and haven’t been able to put it down. A…
Gizmodo Australia’s Luke Hopewell was on a flight from New York to Hong Kong the other day. It should have been a long, but comfortable trip. Instead, it became something out of a survival story. The flight from hell Having made 99% of the trip just fine, storms over Hong Kong meant the flight couldn’t…
Most days on the internet are pretty sweet! Today, however, is not sweet. It is an ordeal, something to be endured through gritted teeth. Please, tread carefully. There’ll be folks out there thinking they’re funny, when really, they’re not. There’ll be folks out there thinking they’re clever, when really, whatever brilliant scheme they’ve got cooked…
Not many artists get to put “Killzone” and “erotic PC adventure” on the same CV, but hey, Andrejs Skuja does. In the two years since we last took a look at his work, he’s helped out on another Killzone game, the adult PC title Seduce Me and even something new for Guerilla that, like most…
Torrenting may be a practice dominated by the sharing of movies, tv shows, music, porn and games, but the oldest active torrent on the internet is none of those things. It is, instead, a cook book. “Top Secret Recipes” was uploaded ten years ago, at a time when the Pirate Bay was, as TorrentFreak put…
On TV’s The Walking Dead, no punches are pulled when it comes to showing the zombies ringing the dinner bell. There is gnashing, and gnawing, and the swallowing of flesh. But did you ever wonder just what kind of flesh it was? Turns out all those zombie actors/extras get a pretty sweet deal, because the…
The Emerald City Comicon went down over the weekend in Seattle. Expect photos to be turning up here all week, but we’re kicking things off with a couple of shots from William Phan The Mass Effect Blood Dragon armour is being worn by Clay Stooshnoff, while Sub-Zero is Danquish
Construct is an upcoming short by Kevin Margo (of Blur), about a construction robot who is about to have a very bad day. This is just the teaser trailer, the full short is still in development. It’s amazing how, with no dialogue and just 60 seconds of action, a few emotionless robots can say so…
Track: Wave 1| Album: Wave 1 | Artist: Com Truise Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
British reader Junior, along with some friends, figured we’d like to see what would happen when Ryu fought Breaking Bad’s Jesse. Um, yes. Love those special moves. RYU VS JESSE (A Street Fighter-Breaking Bad tribute)[Vimeo]
Last week, Jacqueline Goehner’s car was broken into while she was visiting a friend’s house. Among the stuff stolen was a black duffle bag that had two Zelda outfits inside that she’d done for a commission. They were worth $4000 The loss of the outfits isn’t the end of the job, though. Jacqueline has taken…
This might look like a photo of Benczúr Gyula’s classic 1885 painting Budavár visszavétele (Buda Repossession), which depicts the recapture of Budapest from invading Ottoman forces. But it’s not. It is, believe it or not, a 3D model consisting of around 8.5 million polygons. It’s the work of 3D artist Farkas Zsolt, and if you’re…
