The last we saw of Patryk Olejniczak, he was making Mass Effect fan art so good he won himself a job at BioWare. Today, though, we’re looking at two very different examples of his work: Game of Thrones fan art and insanely-detailed spacesuits. You can see more of Patryk’s work at his personal site and…
And it’s only $1! Bargain! From the seller’s description: Selling my PC version of GTAV. Awesome game, finished it already so not really playing it anymore. Hard to find for PC. Requires a decent PC to run it. As you can see in the 2nd images the disk has no scratches. What you see is…
Track: Welcome to the Spaceship, Motherfucker | Artist: Oozing Wound | Album: Retrash Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
iPhone gaming is normally portable by design. But sometimes – normally when a game has terrible touch controls – you want something more substantial. Like this. We first uncovered Logitech’s upcoming iOS controller earlier this year, but now notorious tech sleuth evleaks has what it claims is a proper product shot of the thing. And…
Out soon will be this Metal Gear Solid Rising Revengence figure of the game’s star, Raiden. Look at a single image and you might not think it’s that great. Look at more and you’ll see why he’s so amazing. He’s a Revoltech figure, famous for their articulation, meaning you can set him in just about…
Kyrie is a Korean illustrator who freelances mostly for the games industry. Her work as a character designer is a welcome change from the armoured men, dragons, thick necks and post-apocalyptic wastelands you normally see around here. You can see more of her work at her CGHub and DeviantArt pages. To see the larger pics…
Let’s admire this painting of Link by James Zapata. Just…soak it up. It’s the kind of treatment you normally see for the absolute classics of history and mythology. So it’s also the kind of treatment Zelda deserves. We featured Zapata’s work recently on our Fine Art feature. Check it out here Kokiri [James Zapata, via…
Most of the times, a PS3 system update is a cause for groans, notable only for the fact it interrupts your next gaming session. But this next one’s not so bad! Here are the highlights: Auto download of system software updates has been expanded to support all PSN users. Auto download support of purchases made…
The good news is that SimCity will soon be allowing user-generated content. The bad news is that EA is looking to place so many restrictions on what you can actually mod that it seems almost pointless. In reaching out to the game’s community with its initial plans, EA has already put its foot down on…
The European version of upcoming PS3 exclusive Beyond: Two Souls is going to be a little bit different from the American edition, after slight cuts had to be made to get it under an adults-only rating. First spotted by SCEUNCUT, the changes aren’t much; Sony has since confirmed that only “three minor aesthetic changes” have…
The Kickstarter campaign for Mighty No. 9, a new Mega Man game in all but name, just closed. It made so much money that somebody, somewhere at Capcom might be getting fired today. Initially asking for $900,000, the project closed earlier today with $3,845,170 pledged. Toss in nearly $200,000 in Paypal donations and we’re looking…
Video game levels may often seem like absurd places. Who’d build a walkway there? Why didn’t anyone clean this up? Yet as with most things in life, truth is often just as strange as fiction. This gallery on Bored Panda is called “31 Haunting Images of Abandoned Places That Will Give You Goose Bumps”, but…
A dinosaur + dinosaur romance novel would be something awesome. Tales of meeting over a leafy tree, the thrill of the hunt (for food), the joy of…sitting on eggs. I’m getting steamy just thinking about it. Sadly – or not, depending on your tastes – these dinosaur romance novels are not about that. They’re about…
Regardless of what you think of the game, Disney Infinity will always be remembered for one big achievement: it’s managed to take a ton of Disney movies, all with their own signature visual style, and wrangle them all into the single project, where they’re looking mostly identical. One of the people responsible for this is…
Official description reads: “C-Wars, inspired by Super Robot War, Fallout, CoD, is an ultimate match of retro-style images and innovative gameplay.” After this trailer, I am excited C-Wars [Site, via IndieGames]
There are two football games on the market. The vast majority of people will only buy one of them. So which one should you buy? Last year, it was a tough call. This year, it is not. Instead of reviewing each game separately, I’m going to compare each of them with regards to the important…
So, for a while now, and very much on the down-low, some Xbox 360 owners have been downloading free games, taking advantage of a loophole in Microsoft’s Xbox Live marketplace. I hope they enjoyed it, because a bunch of them are now saying they’ve had their consoles banned for their troubles. Here’s the situation: for…
Time for another tale—albeit unconfirmed—of the inside workings of Nintendo, though this one’s a little saucier than the last. Because of Europeans and sex shops. Read it here via a 2011 translation of an account that originally appeared on fan site Classic-Zone. A fascinating read about what it might be like to be in Nintendo’s…
