Out in Japan this year and coming to America in 2010, Ace Attorney is a return to crime-fighting and lawyering on the Nintendo DS, with maybe the best mechanics in the series… if that’s what series fans are looking for. I believe that Ace Attorney games — which I can’t help still thinking of as…

To: Ashcraft From: Totilo Re: I Am In America Welcome back to the U.S. of A. May I tell you a story about people traveling in the U.S.? The scene is downtown New York City. The day is two Saturdays ago. New York, as you know, is in the U.S. Lots people here speak English.…
Friends don’t let friends do foolhardy things, but sometimes an editor of a major gaming blog assigns his least Street-Fighter-savvy writer to review a Street Fighter arcade stick. That’d be me, the guy who allegedly can’t throw a fireball. Here’s what I can be sure of. The Street Fighter IV Round 2 Tournament Edition FightStick…
You’re on a vast landscape. The biggest one ever made by Rockstar, bigger even than the terrain of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. You’re in the virtual west. No cities are nearby. Think you can have fun? Never a development studio looking to take the easy path, Rockstar Games is roaming into the gameplay wilderness…
Co-op shooter gaming is now so common that it can no longer be a selling point on its own. So what does the new 2010-scheduled Army of Two have to offer? Finally playing the game unsupervised, Kotaku learned things. Michael McWhertor and I had both seen the game multiple times and, to honest, the somewhat…
Whoever said that gamers are always looking to the future might as well be guest-editing Kotaku this week, because we are ignoring the final two weeks of 2009 to begin our look at… 2010. It’s not that we don’t like 2009. It was a fine year of gaming, one that we’ll get around to reviewing…
In the interest of establishing a mood and not having it ruined by a Trophy alert, the developers of 2010 PlayStation 3 game Heavy Rain have been authorized by Sony to do something new. Heavy Rain will have Trophies. But you won’t be told that you earned them until the breaks between the game’s chapters.…

To: Ash and/or Luke From: Stephen Re: Yes, I’d Love Another Pint Of Cider, Thanks For Asking There’s been a lot of mean talk about elevators lately. People saying they’re happy they won’t be represented in Mass Effect 2. People saying the game is better off without them. It makes me mad. Or at least…
I controlled a real-time-strategy game with my fingertips for the first time last week. It wasn’t as bad as I feared, not yet as good as I now want it to be. The game was R.U.S.E., the March 2010 real-time strategy game from Ubisoft that will be playable on a PC or Xbox 360, and…
The main man behind Borderlands, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford, will be our guest host on the Kotaku call-in podcast this week, continuing our December-long effort to fill a vacationing Brian Crecente’s empty chair. It happens live, Wednesday. Pitchford will be talking about, well… just about anything you ask him, I figure. He can speak to…
In its opening chapters, Heavy Rain is a quiet downer, a rare — for a video game — persistently sad experience. That makes the unusual PlayStation 3 exclusive one of the most interesting titles of early 2010. Over the weekend I played the first several chapters of Heavy Rain using a preview disc supplied by…
It’s that time again. Time to look at the top grossing games on iTunes for the iPhone and iPod Touch. A Monkey Ball vs. Waldo… who wins? One of them tops the Zombies. And Dragon’s Lair, that oldie but goodie starts strong on a new platform. Which do you think should be the top game?…
A pair of March Pokemons and a February deep-sea diving sequel were among the highlights of the DS and Wii games listed by Nintendo today for release in early 2010. Third-parties have some possible gems for Wii too. Highlights include: -Strong support from Capcom with Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom on Wii, Phoenix Wright on WiiWare and…

Another week gone by, another round-up of Kotaku reviews with no Demon’s Souls review, am I right? Here’s what else we reviewed. Canabalt Micro-Review: Up On The Rooftop, Tap, Tap, Tap In which Michael McWhertor did a catch-up review (which some of you love) but only wrote positive blue text (which some of you hate).…
To: Someone, anyone! From: Totilo Re: Two Big Santa Differences Just received a last minute whisper of an assignment to write a Day Note. Assignment came from Down Under from a B. Crecente, a former newspaperman who has been battling the inferior Australia-U.S. Skype pipelines all week. This far-flung adventurer has found himself indisposed, unable…
