Your Team Fortress 2 hat surplus can now be put to better use, thanks to newly out-of-beta Steam Trading features. Valve’s new cross-game trading tech is now available in TF2, Portal 2 and Sega’s Spiral Knights. [TF2 Blog]
Surprisingly, flying with a jetpack powered by a pair of mini-guns strapped to your back is not even remotely the most enjoyable thing about Jetpack Joyride. The iOS game from Halfbrick Studios, creators of Fruit Ninja, is one of the most refreshingly simple and unexpectedly replayable downloadable games for Apple devices. Macho mascot Barry Steakfries,…
Activision’s social network and stat-tracking service for the Call of Duty enthusiast, Call of Duty Elite, may become your preferred way to meet and play against your fellow first-person shooter fans. It does a whole lot more, but let’s take a look at what Elite’s Connect feature suite is all about. Connect is where Call…
One of the many activities on hand at this weekend’s Call of Duty XP event—activities that earn attendees badges of honor—is Juggernaut Sumo. The game? Put on a bulky fat suit gussied up to look vaguely like a Juggernaut from Modern Warfare 2‘s Spec Ops mode and… fight! Lines are long, rounds are short. You…
Operation Kingfish is the sequel (of sorts) to Find Makarov, the fan-made short film based on the Modern Warfare series—the mini-movie that fooled us into thinking a Modern Warfare 3 announcement was imminent in February. (Oops!) Not sure we can call this over-the-top action packed short a fan film, though, as it has the official…
Deus Ex: Human Revolution, people! Alright, alright… I’ll probably be playing more Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 this Labor Day weekend than I will Deus Ex, but I’ve gotta have something to break up the flood of CoD XP posts! In the in-between times, I’ll be alternating between some of the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador…
Activision has a long and storied history of making some of the best video game patches in the business. Or at least they did during the Atari 2600 era. At Call of Duty XP, Activision returned to its patch-making ways, rewarding XP attendees for braving real-life and virtual challenges. For example, should you wait in…
Hey, you like guns? Then you should really be at Call of Duty XP this weekend. They got guns! Lots of ’em. They even have a FGM-148 Javelin and an alien head. Just head to “The Armory.” Or take a journey with me through the magic of photo galleries! The various arsenals of many Call…
Year after year, how can Call of Duty‘s massive online shooter remain fresh? With Modern Warfare 3, the game’s developers have focused on what works—player progression, extensive customization, tons of maps and game modes—and are blowing it out. Activision offered a first look at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 the night before Call of…
Call of Duty Elite, Activision’s new social network and stat-tracking service that will launch alongside Modern Warfare 3—and work with last year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops—is largely going to be free to use. But there are very good reasons for investing in Elite. At the war game maker’s Call of Duty XP gathering, Activision…

Is this the best summer for video game-themed socks… ever? It’s looking that way, now that J!NX has released officially licensed Portal 2 knee socks, footwear based on the Aperture Science Long Fall Boots from Valve’s first-person puzzler. While your sock drawer may already be over-encumbered with excellent Minecraft-inspired socks, I don’t know how any…
Greetings, Kotaku readers. You’re welcome to join us in tonight’s open thread, where conversation not just about video games happens. But you can talk about video games if you’d like. We’re not going to rap your knuckles. This weekend’s going to be a little crazy for me, with Call of Duty XP happening nearby. There’s…
Japan loves it some Monster Hunter. Take the latest version, the PSP to PlayStation 3 port—or if you prefer “PSP Remaster”—Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Version. It’s Japan’s hottest game right now. The PS3 update of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd sold more than a quarter million copies in its debut week in Japan. Quite good.…
Wait! Before you fire up that 3DS Ambassador copy of NES classic Metroid on your Nintendo 3DS—you know those games are available for download already, right 3DS owners?—do not put in the following password. It’ll crash your 3DS! The password I am referring to, of course, that you should never, ever put into your copy…

The “Hardened Edition” of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 appears to have had its contents outed earlier than officially planned, contents that include a one year membership to Activision’s Call of Duty Elite service and other virtual goods.
