Sega Bringing Nightmares To Kinect
If Haunt is the kinect horror game for the family and kids, Sega’s Rise of Nightmares sounds like the horror game for those of you who really like their horror. Think Silent Hill, with waving arms.

Valkyria Chronicles 3: The Tokyo Game Show Trailer
Let’s all try and get over the fact Valkyria Chronicles 3 is on the PSP with a snappy animated trailer for the game. Sure, there’s not a single second of gameplay footage to be had, but that would just remind us all this is not on the system most fans would have preferred, so as…

Let’s Watch Some Ni No Kuni Gameplay Footage
During Sony’s TGS press conference, a short clip was shown which gave us our first prolonged look at the gameplay for upcoming Level 5/Studio Ghibli RPG Ni No Kuni.

Let’s Tokyo Game Show 2010!
The 2010 Tokyo Game Show kicks off tomorrow, and Kotaku will be there. But what will we be doing there? We’ll be playing games. Talking to people who make games.

This poster, by Freaking Awesome, contains the title of 978 pieces of zombie fiction, arranged, Left 4 Dead-style, in the shape of a flesh-biter’s hand. Can you spot the video games among them?
