With the second season of The Mandalorian about to start, maybe you need a refresher on what went down in the first season. And maybe you need it in the form of…action figure dioramas? Sure, why not. These photos are the work of Matthew Cohen, who you might remember we featured earlier in the year.…
Back in the 1980s, Civilization co-creator Sid Meier released a game that in some ways is his best ever: Pirates!. Now, a new game mode for Civilization VI is paying homage to it in a very cool and unexpected way. If you’ve never played Pirates, or one of its many remakes, here’s how I’ve written…

Western Empires is a big board game. A very, very, very, very, very big board game. Designed for nine players (though you can go as low as five), and played over the course of around eight hours, it’s the setting for an entire day of expansion, science, trade and battle. You and eight friends/former friends…
The Missing Link, a new Zelda fan game made by a team led by prominent Mario modder Kaze Emanuar, has had its website and trailers taken down by Nintendo. We wrote about the game back in July 2020, which was actually 37 months ago, and it looked great! Made using mostly recycled assets from both…
I have seen some impressive game collections in my time, but few that can match either the scale or presentation of this one, which is basically sitting in the middle of some farm fields in Japan. In this episode of Collector’s Quest (via former Kotaku editor Chris Kohler), Nintendo super-fan and author of the incredible…
So one of the best things about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and really about Miles Morales in general, is that he’s an extremely relatable kid. That was true of his personality and exploits, sure, but it even went as far as his shoes In Spider-Verse, one of the things that most grounds Miles is the…
A long time ago, in a far away country, a team of Sega developers started work on a collection of 2.5D remakes of some of the company’s classic series. The project was cancelled and never released, but Sega this week just decided fuck it, and released the Golden Axe one on Steam anyway. Called Golden…

For the longest time, Call of Duty Modern Warfare on PC has made players set aside increasingly—and hilariously—enormous amounts of hard drive space, up to 232GB at last count. This week, finally, players will be able to free up some of that space While it doesn’t sound like the biggest deal, increasing numbers of PC…

That’s it. That’s the pitch for this game. You’re building a city, only the city is also a giant airship thing that’s flying through the air. OK, maybe that’s not quite it. There’s also the fact that this is only partially a game about building cities. Set in a vast, open and sparsely-populated world, Airborne…

Joan Román, a 27 year-old footballer formerly on the books at both Manchester City and Barcelona, has officially changed his name to Goku.

One of those two things, whatever, they don’t even know, aside from the fact that developers Warhorse and a former Netflix executive’s new company want to do something with the earnest if janky medieval RPG. I reviewed the game in 2018and found that while it was mostly a shambles, it did have some charms and…
The best sports highlight from the weekend was easily from Joaquin Buckley in the UFC, who hit Impa Kasanganay in the face with a spinning kick and knocked him the fuck out. If you’ve already seen it and thought “that’s straight out of a fighting game”, you are correct! If you haven’t seen it, here…
