Will the Pokemon dating advice ever stop? We can’t recommend this technique, because we don’t know how it turned out. [Via Twitter, Thanks Xris]
Video games. Discuss.
No need to prototype a Lego StarCraft video game. We now know what it would look like. Great work, Kooberz Studios. We like your Lego Terran Barracks how-to video as well. [Lego Starcraft: Brick Rush, thanks smi1ey!]
To: B.A. (Baracus) From: Mr. T(otilo) Re: This Post Is Not About StarCraft II As day turns to night, as the baton passes from citizens of the free world to the non-Americans on Team Kotaku, as darkness enshrouds the Western hemisphere and I go off to play some Metroid Other M (while magically having a…
Disney is purchasing social gaming company Playdom (Social City, Sorority Life) for half a billion dollars. EA’s got Playfish. Disney now has Playdom. FarmVille maker Zynga still rules. Facebook gaming’s huge and the big companies are clearly very into it.
During an afternoon full of upcoming Wii and DS games yesterday, I got a chance to play the next Donkey Kong game with a second player. It went better than my first co-op Mario Bros. gaming last year. When I teamed up with other players in 2009’s New Super Mario Bros. Wii I was usually…
YouTube user USpecies says he/she started playing StarCraft II in Europe right before midnight and wrapped up at 3:30 PM local time. Single-player done in 16 hours. Have you finished the game yet?
There I am playing Wii games, the games I’m writing about all day today, and a Nintendo rep asks me if I want to play a WiiWare game. Sure, I love the weird stuff. WiiWare, folks, is all about the weird stuff. Games about giving vegetables haircuts. Games about throwing pairs of people onto cubes.…
There are the video games we expect to be great, games from which we expect innovation and sophistication. Trauma Team, an interactive medical adventure sold at a discount price, was not supposed to be in that group. But it is. Trauma Team is the fifth game in the Trauma Center series. On both the DS…
Kirby’s Epic Yarn is an adorable game about a pink puffball made of yarn. But we’ve covered that already. Today’s topic: Why does Kirby kill? … or… Why do I make Kirby kill? This is the latest in our day-long series of impressions of holiday-scheduled WIi and DS games that I played with some Nintendo…
The second game of my Nintendo holiday preview was Wii Party. I planned to suffer. A half-hour later I wondered if I had played the best Wii game for this fall. A fake bomb helped. Wii Party seems at first, at second and at third like Nintendo at it’s most cynical. Wii Sports was a…
We continue to only offer mouse and keyboard support here at Talk Amongst Yourselves. An online connection is required. If that’s okay with you, comment here about video games.
Who gets a couple of hours to play any of the Nintendo-published games arriving this holiday season for the Wii and DS and starts with FlingSmash? Me. Yesterday I played a batch of Nintendo games. Throughout today, I’ll tell you about them. My tour of Nintendo’s holiday games occurred in a hotel room in Times…
GameStop, which most of us think of as a chain of stores where you buy disc-based games, has bought Kongregate, which is a website where one can play free games, including many hours of Desktop Tower Defense.
Last week we challenged you to make video game sand castles. We dangled fabulous prizes at you (StarCraft II books). With one weekend to accomplish the task, we got five winners. We were hoping for 10. Quality, not quantity? Contestants needed to make a video-game themed sand castle and include the word Kotaku on or…
Under a blinding New York City sun, I unboxed StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, the collector’s edition. It had to be done. My tan needed some work.
From the second Inception ended, I’ve been bumping into people who are trying to sort out it’s ending. I’m not one of them, thanks, I think, to video games. (Note: I won’t spoil Inception’s ending here, but commenters probably will.) The struggle people are having with the ending is sorting out what the next moment…
Jeff Hickman’s house got struck by lightning last spring. It destroyed two of his three game consoles, zapped his daughter’s retainer — which was in her mouth — and caused some other odd damage. He shared his story with Kotaku. As spoken by Jeff Hickman, an executive producer at BioWare Mythic, to Kotaku during a…
In theory, the PlayStation 3 controller is a complicated mechanism, a device with too many buttons for the average person to understand. In theory, the better control mechanism for interactive drama is a good old remote control you can wave. Heavy Rain, which is indeed an interactive drama made to be appreciated by regular people…
I have finally played PlayStation 3 games in 3D. Three of them. I was impressed; I felt ill. More of the former. Some of the latter. My big 3D chance occurred last week at a showcase event for most of the big games coming to the PlayStation 3 and PSP this holiday season. Imagine a…
