Like most sites, the very first webpage ever created, back in 1989, no longer exists. But one of its immediate successors does. At the Hypertext 91 conference in San Antonio, creator Tim Berners-Lee took what he then called the “World Wide Web”, set up a demo in the conference hall and showed people the future.…
As wonderful as the Oculus Rift is, it’s not without its challenges. One of the more noticeable, at least if you’re playing a shooter, is that even though your head is now free to roam, your gun is stuck to your viewpoint and/or reliant on traditional controls. So Chris Gallizzi, a man who is no…
And to think, before Unity caught on, the words “browser game” used to be cause for laughter. The future, though, could be even better, as Epic has shown off a version of its Unreal Engine 4 that’s running in Firefox. Mozilla says they’re running without plugins, and that they’re at “near-native speeds”. Wow.
Despite the fact that the Xbox 360’s controller has become a standard in PC gaming, Microsoft still hasn’t got the Xbox One pad working officially with the platform. But that’s OK. Lucas Assis has done it for you, modifying the ToCA Xbox 360 control pad emulator to work with the Xbox One’s pad (remember, they’ve…
These incredible Pokemon Red, Blue & Green posters are by Marinko Millsevski. Before you ask can you buy them, yes, you can buy them
UPDATE – He’s done it. Stallion83, long the record holder for the highest Xbox gamerscore in the world, is on the cusp of something very special. He’s about to pass the one million points mark. In 2010, he was on 500,000. A year later, 600,000, upon which he made a solemn vow: to reach one…
So, last week Michael put together the official LEGO Milennium Falcon. At over 1200 pieces, it took him all day. Naturally, the second he left the model alone, his friends arrived to take it apart again in the worst way possible. See, they don’t drop it. Or break it. While a problem, that can be…

Reader Darryn built this. It’s a proton pack from Ghostbusters. It doesn’t work, in so much as it’s not an unlicensed nuclear accelerator, but it sure looks the part. Especially when paired with his uniform. You can check out Darryn’s build log right here
Hohokum is coming for the PS4, PS3 and Vita. It’s a beautiful game, one I’ve been hanging out for since last year, but I’m now even more excited after hearing about the soundtrack. Seems Scott Hansen, aka Tycho – who is awesome – has done the game’s intro track, as part of a deal that’s…

Metal Gear’s story is a mess. Hideo Kojima might make great stealth games, but boy, dude also needs an editor. With Metal Gear Solid V (and its prequel) on the way, there might be people who have never played a Metal Gear game before wanting to get in on the action. Or veteran players who…
Where there is demand, there’s money ready to change hands. And boy is there a lot of money changing hands over Counter-Strike. Mike Rose has a great piece up over on Gamasutra that looks at this scene, which at times can get a little shady. There’s gambling, rorts, bots and addiction. Perhaps most interesting, though,…
Whether this is true or not, I don’t know. All I know is it could be, and that I want it to be, if only so my mental image of this freaky couple is not itself a lie. The tale, as told on this Reddit post, goes like this. “My friend and neighbor told me…
Robert Briscoe was the artist behind Dear Esther, a game I didn’t actually enjoy that much but which I thought was very easy on the eyes. He’s announced today that he’s flying out to Seattle to work with Valve, taking a break from the indie scene to, well, do whatever it is Valve does behind…
Of all the times for Xbox Live to be experiencing “limited service”. Microsoft’s Xbox Live has been having some pretty serious issues for the past hour or so. I could sign into my account (both in a browser and on my Xbox One), but couldn’t sign into Titanfall or access stores. Your mileage may vary;…
Track: Light Years From Home | Album: Spacehop Chronicles Vol. 1 | Artist: Bluetech Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
If you’re hanging out for Driveclub, it might be a while. Sony’s Sony’s Scott Rohde tells IGN the game went “back to the drawing board” last year so they can “make sure the game is great before we ship it.”
Boss Fight Studio are a small toy company, mostly made up of ex-Hasbro folks who worked on lines like GI Joe and Transformers. While they still do licensed work for big companies, its Boss Fight’s design for original action figures that look neat. Despite not having a universe or face to reveal (yet), the company…
