At least at launch, Sony is playing it safe with its DualShock 4 designs. You can get them in black, black or black. But if you want to get something a little more adventurous, there are still options. Evil Controllers, having already got hold of a batch of the new pads, have customised them and…
Mystery surrounded the unveilingof an enormous Xbox One in Canada earlier in the week. Well, mystery solved. It opened up tonight, and out came…zombies. Part of a marketing stunt for the console and Dead Rising 3. Perhaps of more practical use is the fact that once the zombies had cleared out, inside the giant Xbox…
I’ve played thousands of games over the years. And only once has a game ever given me a bonafide outbreak of goosebumps. Head-to-toe. It was during this past console generation, and it was while I was riding a horse. If you’ve played Red Dead Redemption, you already know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t,…
In June, we got a teasertrailer. This is a proper trailer. Three minutes long. Three minutes of LEGO movie heaven. I’m not normally the type to get excited by a trailer, indeed I’m usually wary of them, but this just…this just looks like the best. It’s everything you’d possibly want in a LEGO movie.
Morning everyone! Here’s some stuff you missed overnight. The PS4 Takes A Step Backwards Sega Forgets To Tell Anyone It Released An Awesome New PC Game Kerrigan, Eat A Snickers. You Get A Little Angry When You’re Hungry. A Game About Dinner Parties, Dancing And Wooing Gentlemen. Yes.
Track: Hang Around | Album: Galactaphonic | Artist: Tumbleweed Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to—and gaming to—at the moment.
Ever, Jane is the name of an MMO that’s, well, it’s different from any MMO you’ve ever played before. Or game, for that matter. It’s set not on an alien world, or post-apocalyptic wasteland, or fantasy kingdom of elves and orcs. It’s set in the world of…Jane Austen novels. And rather than being some kind…
Joe Peterson is a freelance concept artist, having previously worked at Firefall developers Red 5 and Blizzard. Below you’ll see a mix of Peterson’s personal work, along with some of his contributions to StarCraft II. You can see more of Joe’s work at his CGHub page To see the larger pics in all their glory…
This isn’t even a trailer for a game. It’s a pitch to sell some EVE Online merch. And while it doesn’t make me want to part with my cash, it does make me want to get everyone else out of this house for a minute so I can run around with some Transformers going “pew…
House of the Dead: Overkill was a Wii game that not only once helda fairly dubious world record, but also had a very old-school Sega sense of humour that was sadly overlooked. So it’s nothing short of a shock to have people waking up yesterday to find the game’s been ported to the PC. With…
Normally you’d expect new consoles to add to your entertainment experience. It’s a bummer to hear today, then, that the PS4 will actually be taking away one of the PS3’s cooler features. For many people, the PS3 is more than a games console. It’s an entertainment hub, thanks to the machine’s excellent media server capabilities.…
Microsoft’s own video showing the Xbox One’s dashboard and user interface was disappointing, because being so heavily staged, it didn’t give us an idea of how it actually performed in the real world. This real video, on the other hand, is just perfect. Shot in the middle of a round of Killer Instinct by Gameon…
Hi! Some interesting stuff happened overnight. Here’s that stuff. Come On Guys. The DualShock 3 Sucked. Alec Baldwin Turned Down The Chance To Be In Grand Theft Auto Don’t Expect Titanfall 2 To Be A Microsoft Exclusive Deadly Premonition On PC Looks Like Complete S**t (But There’s A Fix)
Alec Baldwin, he of 30 Rock, Hunt For Red October and Beetlejuice fame, was once offered an “incomprehensible amount of money” to lend his voice to a Grand Theft Auto game. And he said…no. “[The makers of] ‘Grand Theft Auto’ came to me to do a voice of some mobster, many years ago, for ‘Grand…
Designer Cory Schmitz is one of the early adopters of a DualShock 4 controller, and found that it can do…this. Weird trick, though surely getting the balance that right means they did it on purpose. Maybe to make things easier for the guys taking the official product images? Update: Turns out life is a lie…

I’m sure some experienced players will say there’s art in an elegant kill, but in this instance, I’m talking about the art that helped make the game. These images are the work of six artists at DICE (two of whom we’ve featured here recently). Those six are art director Gustav Tilleby, senior concept artist Robert…
Assassin’s Creed IV, like most other big games from Ubisoft, is coming later on PC. You’d think they’d have sorted this out by now. Ungh. So the question is, if you’re impatient, will the fancier visuals of the PC edition make it worth waiting nearly a month for if you already own a 360, PS3…
Warning: this video is very Australian. It is also a glimpse into the future of consumer electronics, if that future was decided by the common man, and not wealthy Silicon Valley types. Aussie Bogan Creates Amazing Beer App! [YouTube, thanks @LukeHopewell]
Weird-ass Japanese horror game Deadly Premonition has made it to the PC! That’s the good news. The bad news is that, like Dark Souls before it, this Japanese game has been ported to the PC in a sorry state indeed. Seems the game’s locked at 720p, acceptable for console gaming on a TV, perhaps, but…
