The weekend is for telling a friend you’d go with her to IKEA, which means sitting on all the furniture and imagining what your life would be like if the floor model were your living room. Also, video games. My plan is to cram in a bunch of 2017 games I missed over the long…
January’s Xbox Live Games with Gold features a lot of different genres, which could be nice if you’re looking for something new to play after the holidays.

While The Witcher 3 was obviously the game I played the most this year, did you know there were other games too? It was a great year for stealth games, immersive sims, and survival games—three of my favorite things! Here are my 1o favorite games that came out in 2017. Secret World Legends Secret World…
The weekend is for going to a work holiday party with a mysterious theme and a dress code you can’t meet because all the clothes you own are either black or grey, which are not the approved colors. Also, video games. There’s a closed beta for The Darwin Project this weekend (check out Kotaku’s video…
One of the best features of the rebooted Wolfenstein games has been its likable cast of characters. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus was full of complex resistance fighters with different experiences and opinions than hero BJ Blazkowicz. The game’s new downloadable content explores the lives of other people who live and die in the alternate…

The weekend is for snow, one of the greatest things that exists. Also, video games. I am making all sorts of Witcher 3 progress again, delightfully. I’m also going to check out Floor Kids on my Switch, as well as the host of super-exciting changes in The Long Dark’s latest patch. So much to do! What…
The weekend is for regretting the fact that you made oatmeal raisin cookies the other night and instead making the superior cookie, chocolate chip. Also, video games. I am, at long last, back on my bullshit with The Witcher 3. I meant to power through the plot over the holiday, but one thing led to…

It’s Thanksgiving time, which (hopefully) means a long weekend to play some games. If you’re not sure what to play or are wondering what you missed, here are Kotaku’s reviews of some of the fall’s biggest games, in no particular order. This piece originally appeared 11/22/17.
I recently finished the main plot of The Witcher 3. You might have been following my love affair with it through my stories on the topic, or my weekly “What Are You Playing” posts featuring Geralt in various states of undress. My reward for 110 hours of hard work? Accidentally being a terrible dad. This…
The Daily Beast says HQ trivia app co-founder and CEO Rus Yusupov threatened to fire host Scott Rogowsky if the site wrote about Rogowsky. Choice quote: “Asked for clarification, Yusupov replied that Rogowsky was absolutely not allowed to say that he ‘enjoys making people happy and giving them the trivia they want.’”
The weekend is for figuring out if you’re going to one of the Thanksgiving things you were invited to so you should go to the grocery store and buy something nice to cook, or if you’re going to avoid people because you never get to do that and so buy ice cream and call it…
Hitman’s Elusive Targets are reactivated, beginning today with The Forger. You can’t replay targets you’ve completed or failed, which means I’ll never get a do-over on my Forger run
This War of Mine: Stories—Father’s Promise is out today on PC. It’s the first of a planned ‘season’ of story-oriented DLC for This War of Mine.
As the seconds counted down in a round of the unusual game The Darwin Project this past weekend, I was aware of three other players still involved in the match. One was my opponent, who, like me, had managed to outlast eight other players in this mix of cold-weather survival and competitive murder. Another was…
Wolfenstein 2‘s base, the U-boat Eva’s Hammer, features an obstacle course known as the ‘kill house’ where BJ and pals can compete for the top score. The top time for the kill house seems to be permanently held by Set Roth’s cat/monkey hybrid, but one player found a clever way to get first place. Mild…
The weekend is for really meaning to make your house look nice before your sister comes to visit but knowing you probably won’t. But since she has four kids, your house will still look like less of a disaster than hers does. Also, video games. Last night I started Wolfenstein 2 again so I could…
I managed to miss Bound when it came out last year, so I’m excited to see it make its way to November’s PlayStation Plus lineup. As always, the following games are only “free” if you have an active PlayStation Plus membership. November’s PS Plus lineup is: PlayStation 4 Worms Battlegrounds Bound PlayStation 3 R-Type Dimensions…
The weekend is for trying to remember your GeForce password because you forgot your screenshot keybinding and the Steam overlay doesn’t work for Wolfenstein 2. Basically, the weekend is for locking yourself out of your graphics card. Again. I started Wolfenstein 2 last night, and though I only got about an hour in I’m really liking…
