Thinking about picking up Codemasters’ latest racing game, F1 2015? Probably wait. The PC version is suffering from numerous issues, from frame rate drops and crashes to busted menus and controller problems. Codemasters acknowledged the issues and released a patch, but there’s still more work to be done.
Rule 34: if it exists, there’s porn of it. Rule 35: if it exists, there’s probably also a dating sim of it on the way. The Team Fortress 2 dating sim is coming to us by way of Schiphys, who describes themself as, “a damn scientist who makes things on the computer for science.” The…
Jester, my constant companion in Steam soccer-with-cars smash hit Rocket League, thinks he’s funny. He is not, and he can go fuck himself. OK so, I recently moved to a new apartment and don’t have a reliable Internet connection yet (I’ve been working out of a Starbucks every day; it’s great fun if you enjoy…
Reason number 437 I wish Valve would release more games: they’re good at packing them with smart little things. (Warning: this post gets kinda NSFW. I know, I’m surprised too.) It all begins with Miss Pauling. Miss Pauling, for those who don’t know, plays assistant to The Administrator, aka the in-game announcer, aka one of…
Artist: Coheed and Cambria | Track: You Got Spirit, Kid | Album: The Color Before The Sun Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
NotGTAV, which is not GTA V, was a hit when it released on Steam last week. Then it disappeared. The game is back now, a short-term victim of what seems to have been a bogus copyright claim. Here’s what we know: NotGTAV, the cheap, funny parody game that was donating money to charity, disappeared from…
Team Fortress 2’s latest big update, Gun Mettle, changed the game in some huge ways. Players, however, have discovered evidence that this is only the beginning. This video from Valve News Network breaks down a handful of secrets hidden in TF2’s Gun Mettle update that point to a few titanic-sized additions, icebergs we can only…
This ought to tide you over until Fallout 4 comes out… er, if it comes out before Fallout 4. The Project Wasteland mod for Minecraft has been in development for a little while now, but take even a cursory glance and it’s easy to understand why. This thing isn’t just gonna bring Fallout’s Wasteland into…
Family Man looks like it’s gonna get really dark really fast—depending on how you play it. Family Man’s premise—you’re some dude, you’ve got a family, you’ve got to make ends meet—would be the stuff of impromptu comas if not for one little caveat: you’ll be able to do anything. Or, you know, mostly anything: “Family…
No more obnoxious switching. Steam is pretty great. EA’s Origin and Ubisoft’s nearly u-seless uPlay? Less so. While more competition for Steam is never a bad thing, EA and Ubisoft have mostly succeeded at forcing people to jump through extra hoops to get at their games. Different stores, different friends lists, different DRM, different interfaces,…
I only stopped playing Rocket League to write this article, and man am I ever itching to get back to it. Rocket League just came out today—after a lengthy period of testing—on PS4 (for free, if you’re a PS Plus member) and Steam, where it’s doing especially well. Rocket League is Steam’s latest sensation, currently…
It’s almost the Fourth of July, so why not? In addition to Broforce—which just launched its timely Freedom Update—I’m also gonna play one Secret Bonus Patriotic Game. Which one? Like a firework going off in your hair, it’s a surprise. Tune in below, and as ever, head on over to Twitch and join the chat…
The MMA gods can go fuck themselves. Jose Aldo vs Conor McGregor was supposed to be the biggest fight in UFC history, and it had the makings of something that would actually deliver. A volcanic rivalry between a shit-talking Irish hothead and a stoic Brazilian badass? Check. Two fighters with exciting, crowd-pleasing styles? Check. Characters…
The next big Team Fortress 2 update is almost here, and it’s a doozy. Players can’t decide if they love it or hate it. Yesterday Valve announced the Gun Mettle update, which gives players who pay $6 access to a three-month-long campaign of skill-based challenges which will earn them visually unique weapons. No two weapons…
Getting tired of Ark: Survival Evolved? Maybe don’t quit just yet. The mod scene around the dino survival mega-hit is just one step beyond primordial ooze, but it’s already bubbling promisingly. The most popular mod at the moment is Kimmykix’s Apako Islands pack, which gives you an entire new world to explore. Oh, and there’s…
The Steam summer sale Monster Game had thousands of players glued to their seats for a couple weeks. Then it disappeared. Diehard fans, however, are bringing it back. For those who never gave it a whirl, the Monster Game was large-scale multiplayer game about clicking monsters to death. Since that could describe roughly 40 percent…
Infinifactory is out of Steam Early Access. Described as “like Spacechem in 3D” by, er, the creator Spacechem, Infinifactory is an excellent sandbox puzzle game about constructing factories for alien overlords. You get to solve devilish puzzles your way. It also makes for some mesmerizing GIFs.
Terraria is suddenly the third most popular game on Steam. For the four of you who don’t know, the exploration/crafting classic finally released its big 1.3 update. As a result, it’s currently the third most-played game on Steam. What have you discovered in the new update?
Would that more Steam groups had such noble goals. Time takes its toll on everything—even games that, theoretically, could go on forever. People get bored, or games stop updating, or a sequel sucks the life out of the original. And then, before long, your favorite game’s a ghost town. Dead MP Games Resurrection Group’s goal…
