Our very own Mike Fahey warned me that there were no new videos to watch on the 3DS today, despite today being some sort of 3DS Video Service launch day. Given that I trust Fahey about as far as I can throw him with one hand, I had to go to my 3DS’ eShop and…
I was supposed to recommend the week’s best new comics yesterday. I’m a day late. Fitting, I guess, because one of the new comics is tied in to Duke Nukem Forever. That’s my excuse. On with the recommendations… Comics You Should Consider Buying (from comics shops) Daredevil #1 A new series for Marvel’s blind super-hero…
Last week, I ran a video that showed a Nintendo rep playing The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword using the required Motion Plus advanced Wii Motion Control. I thought it was cool, but many readers expressed disappointment that you’re still using motion control to trigger the moves of your character in the game. You’re not…
There is “Bonus Content” in the new September 27-dated PlayStation 3 prettier versions of PlayStation 2 classics Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Yay! It mostly involves dynamic PS3 themes and videos. Oh. Some of the video is about the games’ spiritual sequel, the long-awaited The Last Guardian. Hopes raised, by the official PlayStation Blog!…
The new Spider-Man movie trailer is cool. It’s also a bit familiar to those of us who played and enjoyed the 2008 video game Mirror’s Edge. How similar? Watch. You might notice some amazing, spectacular coincidences.
This is a PSP 2000. Hiding under it is a PlayStation Vita. An actual Vita, not a fake one The Vita was running Hot Shots Golf, but you can’t see that. You can only see two things: 1) The Vita, impressive futuristic gaming handheld that it is, isn’t much bigger than a PSP 2) that…
What’s the point of having two analog sticks on the successor to the PSP if you can’t reach them at the same time, right? The good news: it’s slimmer than you think. As seen today at a New York City PlayStation 3 and Vita showcase.
I haven’t held a Wii U in more than a month. I hadn’t even watched videos of myself playing it. But I just watched a bunch, as I tried to make sense of what Nintendo is trying to accomplish with its next big video game machine and as I endeavor to figure out just how…
With no new James Bond movie coming out soon enough for Activision, we are indeed getting another polish of the GoldenEye remake for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, as a screenshot dumpl from yesterday more or less confirmed. Today, the game is official, announced in the form of a press release that manages to…
Bastion is a brand-new game out on Xbox Live Arcade this week. I’ve been playing it in advance of release for a few days and have been loving it. I’m pretty sure it’s very good, but I’m also pretty sure that this is the kind of game people like me who grew up playing the…
The trend this year in video games, only about a decade late, is to let players repel an attack on New York City. See Crysis 2 this spring, Modern Warfare 3 this fall, and other games that put a virtual gun in their player’s hands and some fantastic evil in their sights. The enemy isn’t…
Today is unofficial voice-acting day here at Kotaku. We’ve considered how important voice actors are to video games. We’ll be listening to how their work would have impacted the classics.

Former Xbox executive Andre Vrignaud recently knocked Comcast for killing his broadband Internet for a year. He railed against what he considered unreasonable limitations. What next? He has written about the aftermath—and counters some criticism—on his blog, Ozymandias.
A reduction of the number of so-called hotspots on the multiplayer maps of Modern Warfare 3 will alter and accelerate the flow of action in this fall’s installment of the Call of Duty franchise juggernaut, one of the game’s creators told Kotaku this week in New York City. The makers of Modern Warfare 3‘s multiplayer…

There is a new L.A. Noire mystery: what comes next for the hit detective game? Something… but its creators won’t say what just yet “The game isn’t complete yet,” a Rockstar spokesperson told Kotaku when we asked them yesterday if the release of the game’s final, announced piece of downloadable content, the Reefer Madness Vice…
What if Super Mario was locked in a room and the walls kept moving around him? What if up became down, left became right, the floor below him moved to the right and was replaced with another? What if someone turned his world upside down and he started falling up? It would be tough for…
They’re putting zombies in the next free update to the iPhone and iPad Pocket God: Journey To Uranus, possibly because there are no other successful video game series to add zombies to. Watch the trailer. The zombies fit right in to Bolt Creative’s virtual pygmy torture device playset. The update, officially entitled Pocket God: Journey…
It has come to my attention that people get angry about Zelda video games. This should have been obvious. People can be angry about anything, and I do recall some anger when the bad-ass Zelda game shown by Nintendo in 2000 turned into a Zelda that looked like a children’s cartoon. (And was excellent, by…
