Pixel Ranger for iPhone and iPad feels as deep, engaging and modern as most Atari 2600 games, a CMYK-colored blend of Pitfall! meets Galaga, light on substance, heavy on visual charm. Conceptually, Pixel Ranger is simple to the point of bordering on dumb. Pixelated aliens swarm from above, bothersome lifeforms (snails, turtles, etc.) lurk below.…
Whew. What a week. I could really use a beer or six and a shot of Jim Beam and a burrito and ten hours of sleep. Maybe some off-topic conversation in an open thread would complement that body destruction and recovery nicely. I think so! Folks, I won’t bore you with the details, because I’ve…
Unlike Batman: Arkham City and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, Saints Row: The Third‘s PC version has not been “delayed by any unforeseen development problems, shipping issues, inclement weather, or zombie apocalypse,” says THQ. Bucking the trend! I like it. [Saints Row]
Visit your local sandwich artist if you want a leg up on the competition in Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception‘s multiplayer mode. You can spend the entire month of October ranking up, unlocking in-game items and acquiring Subway-themed goods—including the five dollar footlong taunt. Whether that taunt is implied to illustrate your frugal fast food choices…
I love Shinobi, the original 1987 arcade game, more than almost any other video game created since. Yes, I’m serious. So I’m probably atypically excited that Joe Musashi from Sega’s arcade classic is unlockable in Griptonite’s Shinobi for 3DS. Sure, it’s just a skin unlocked via the Nintendo 3DS’ StreetPass wireless feature, but the other…
Oh, man, me and my buddy up there are going to meet up in Dark Souls this weekend, as I enter my 70th hour of playing the game that is seriously becoming detrimental to my health. That big, lava-covered thing is my pal, Ceaseless Discharge—yes, that’s his name, please don’t make fun. We’re going to…

What is that… thing? It may look like the NES version of side-scrolling shoot ’em up Contra—horribly smudged—but it’s actually the game (or “game”) Ninja Turtles from Vietnamese developer Namphuong Star. You may know them better as the worst iPhone game developer in the world. Namphuong Star’s Ninja Turtles, which appears on Apple’s iTunes App…
If you were worried that the new SSX isn’t totally wacko enough, as far as snowboarding video games go, maybe watch the 2012’s game’s latest trailer. It ticks all the correct crazy extreme sports action boxes, including a very nice flip under a helicopter. Wing suits and chopper lifts don’t seem like such bad additions…
Man, they’ve even made getting your hands on these collectible Dark Souls statues incredibly difficult. Publisher Namco Bandai have five—count’ em, five!—one-of-a-kind creations immortalizing the cast and creatures of Dark Souls to give away. They could be yours. Those sculpts, created by Dark Souls fan Peter Nordstrom, are an impressive 12″ tall in actual size,…
Looks like director Kevin Tancharoen’s actually going to get to make that Mortal Kombat movie he pitched to Warner Bros. The director of Mortal Kombat Rebirth and the web series it spawned, Mortal Kombat Legacy, is getting his very own stab at a feature film. Tancharoen will direct an all-new Mortal Kombat movie based on…
Like, totally out of nowhere, Double Fine just hit us with an update to the PC version of “excellent game” Psychonauts, adding Steam Play cloud saves, achievements and support for Mac OS X. Additionally, there’s a “slightly modified Meat Circus.” “We are really excited,” said Double Fine president Tim Schafer in a press release, “to…
Hey Kotaku! Thanks for sticking around. My gift to you is tonight’s open thread, in which we might talk about ghost movies, we might talk about Star Trek: The Next Generation and we might talk about Skrillex. Maybe we’ll even talk about video games! As we approach Halloween, I’m starting to get the horror movie…
Patrick Bach, executive producer of upcoming shooter Battlefield 3, is in little danger of having his ego run wild on him. Instead, he sounds positively self-loathing when talking about his studio’s last game, Battlefield Bad Company 2 In an interview with Wall Street Journal’s Tech Europe that’s largely about the QA process for Battlefield 3,…

SNK Playmore’s latest entry in the long-running King of Fighters series won’t make its previously scheduled October release. Publisher Atlus, no stranger to minor delays, has pushed The King of Fighters XIII to November 22. Yes, that means you’ll be waiting another month to get your hands on Mai, King, Saiki, Vice, K’, Yuri, Maxima,…
More than a quarter million masochists in Japan have snapped up a copy of Dark Souls for the PlayStation 3 , making From Software’s punishing role-playing game the country’s bestselling game. That’s a big improvement over the Japanese debut of its predecessor, Demon’s Souls, which bowed with about 40,000 in sales in early 2009. Japan’s…

Doing barrel rolls is super great and all, but Star Fox 64 3DS didn’t really capture my attention until today—when I showed up late to the party knowing about its “Online Stage Guide” features. I’m not above perusing a FAQ now and then, so a little assistance for the Star Fox 64 noob—it’s true, I’ve…
