Here’s a YouTube comment on PlayStation 3 EyePet that caught my eye last week: “Both are useless this and milo both stupid.” Hints of a 21st century version of Sonic Vs. Mario, starring a Microsoft boy and a Sony pet? I was charmed by my brief interaction last week with Sony’s PS3 camera-enabled EyePet. The…
We knew Microsoft’s Banjo-Kazooie and GoldenEye development studio, Rare, was focusing on making stuff for Project Natal (games maybe?). This ad in gaming magazine Edge backs that up.
Last week, Assassin’s Creed II executive producer described the November game to me as a “single-player” adventure. But the revelation of the contents in the game’s GameStop special edition suggests there’s something curious afoot. The newly announced Master Assassin’s $80 version of the otherwise-$60 game will be exclusive to GameStop and offer Xbox 360 and…
I am in possession of an early build of DS game Scribblenauts and an imagination. I mixed the two yesterday morning to try to clear one of the game’s levels. It required multiple re-thinkings. To set this up you need to know that Scribblenauts is a Nintendo DS game developed by 5th Cell and published…

It was not a dream, people. Here is inarguable proof that there have been many Mega Man games. What we’ve got here is a chart by Capcom community blogger Snow, displaying the grand amount of Mega Man games released by Capcom during the last 23 years. The horizontal lines represent years. The bunched columns represent…
This summer, you will be able to add to the Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen roster through the magic of downloadable content. We don’t know when, we don’t know for how much. We do know this robot, though. Activision has released more images of Transformers that will be part of the bundle. We’ve got…
They sent creepy drawings. Then a record. And now, apparently not getting the memo that the game’s been delayed until 2010, the BioShock 2 marketing team has sent directions about where and when fans need to be on Saturday. The preceding map and following note arrived in the Kotaku NYC offices today, pre-wrinkled and purportedly…
Three console manufactures. Microsoft. Nintendo. Sony. Three ways of packaging the cards sold in GameStop that contain redemption codes for points used on the consoles’ online stores. Which one do you think the planet likes best? Get a closer look: To download games on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii, you need to use…

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? Games I Didn’t Touch: I saw the fall line-ups for a trio of publishers in New York this past week. Majesco, Sony and Ubisoft were showing more than 30 games…
Prepare for very nice graphics. And prepare to die. A Boy And His Blob, beloved NES platformer only some of us on the team have played, has inspired a Wii successor from the makers of the crushingly hard Contra 4. Oh yes, you will struggle in this one too, it seems. The guy from the…
When I think of Jak & Daxter I don’t think of flight combat. But if that’s going to be 40% of the new game, so be it. It’s fun. What Is It? Jak & Daxter is an October PSP game set after the events of the console Jak & Daxter trilogy (that racing game doesn’t…
For the next hour, if you write a concrete, kid-friendly noun, I will try to test it in Scribblenauts. The DS game should render your nouns as objects. I’ll attempt to keep up in the comments. Event now over. I will ignore bad words, so don’t waste my time. Look for a preview of Scribblenauts’…
Anthony Castoro wants to make a video game that gives hip-hop respect. In the process, he’s making an MMO set for 2012 release that happens to be attached to a rapper who is serving a year in prison. Yesterday, the Austin, Texas game development company Castoro co-founded, Heatwave Interactive, announced a partnership with top-selling rapper…

There was a time when Sega was busy announcing its new 16-bit system — and making sure that didn’t cast any doubt on its partnership with… Tonka? It’s time for your weekly dose of old news from Kotaku (no jokes, please!). We visited 1987 last week, when a chest-thumping Nintendo dared to predict that Zelda…
How Sony showed its PSP games in New York this week, wired through a hole in the suitcase, to a dev-kit.
If things had gone differently this year, it would be your deputy editor fishing against MTV host Sway in a video game Bass Pro Shops battle. Until May, it was yours truly who engaged in any of the goofy on-camera video game battles and antics at MTV. Most regrettably, I lost to Soulja Boy playing…
Earlier this week we showed you Sony’s PlayStation 3 EyePet in augmented-reality action. Today, I’ll struggle to write words that are as impressive as that video. Sony’s EyePet is the latest gee-whiz software product that uses a Sony console and a camera. On the PlayStation 2, Sony used the EyeToy to offer players mini-game compilations…
