Another horror FPS on DS? All too rare. What Is It? Dementium II is an early 2010 sequel to last year’s horror handheld game, Dementium: The Ward. Development studio Renegade Kid returns to its series using the first-person engine developed for the team’s other DS game, Moon. The game begins with protagonist William Redmoor waking…

1-point Xbox 360 Achievements have been done before, but they’re rare. (Forza 2 has a pair.) If you play DJ Hero, prepare to gain a single point. This is a warning or maybe it’s a helpful hint for those striving for just one … more… point. Me? I didn’t notice until someone sent me a…
Some video game reporting can be conducted from a swing-set. Here’s fifth-grader Owen Migel who made it into the Today Show‘s semi-finals of their Kid Reporter contest. Migel appeared on the show a couple of days ago, along with the following clip. Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Migel’s…
Speculation is dangerous, which is why so many companies don’t comment on it. (Nor on rumors.) Over the past 24 hours, Microsoft gently, and Kotaku readers not-so-gently, disabused me of my theories regarding a new Xbox Live game. To refresh you: Football Toss is a very, very simple, football-tossing game that can be accessed in…
Dragon Age: Origins won’t Tweet, but the new single-player game will network console and PC gamers in unusual ways. That’s because the games creators at BioWare believe that solo role-playing games should no longer be lonely experiences. “One of the things for us that was really important and we’re clearly seeing it on PC games…
What the Wii makes, the Xbox (and PlayStation 3) takes, at least in the case of some cartoon football. The EA representatives who recently showed Kotaku Madden NFL Arcade, a five-on-five simplified version of a pro football game, said that a mode that is fun on Nintendo’s platform just had to be shared with other…

Insomniac Games boss Ted Price recently confessed he’d been ignoring the world of Internet “community” that he’d been proselytizing as the future of gaming. Apology necessary? Over at the official website for the creators of this week’s Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time (aka the place I go to watch my Ratchet scores slide…
The world is running out of celebrities who haven’t admitted that they have been hooked on playing the Wii — or had their harmonica player admit it for them. At the tail end of the Binghamton, New York’s Press & Sun-Bulletin recent report about music legend Willie Nelson‘s Tuesday concert in upstate New York comes…
You may debate whether some video games train people to commit real acts of aggression. A Canadian newspaperman provides evidence that Duck Hunt is capable of no such feat. In the Friday sports section of the Daily Herald-Tribune of Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, writer Pete Lucarotti boasts that he once hit more than 1,000 clay…
The November-scheduled Xbox 360 dashboard update doesn’t just bring Facebook, Twitter and Last.FM to Microsoft’s console. It also brings us New Yorker cartoons, Dilbert and the news. But how? And how funny? Watch.
Move over Madden. There’s a new football game on my Xbox 360. And it stars Avatars. Oh, and I don’t know how it got there. The video below will tell you everything I know about the Xbox 360’s Football Toss. It’s an Avatar game and could be mistaken for an adver-game that you see in…

There comes a time in the week to reflect on what got into my reporter’s notebook but didn’t turn into Kotaku blog posts. Shall we? To be honest, I was a little distracted this week because I was busy becoming a homeowner. And Crecente was in New York doing his thing. And… biggest speed bump…
We reviewed the following games this week. Just for you. Not for that guy. Or her. Or them. Borderlands Review (In which McWhertor pauses from praising the game to warn how not to play it.) Critter Crunch Micro-Review (In which Crecente explains how one mashes Space Invaders with Donkey Kong Jr.) Bakugan Battle Brawler Review…
PlayStation 3 owners visiting ToysRUs.com may have had a brief thrill today when they saw PlayStation 3 box art for Rockstar’s supposedly Xbox-only Grand Theft Auto IV expansion disc on the company’s site. Just an error, according to Rockstar. The ToysRUs.com promo image appeared today on the front page of the video game section of…
Perhaps the essence of Lost Planet isn’t the snow of the first game or the jungle of the upcoming sequel’s first demo. Kotaku’s recent hands-on suggested a different signature element: Sci-Fi Battleground Chaos. Capcom was showing a desert level of the company’s winter-slated third-person shooter in New York this week. It controlled the same way…
