It wasn’t enough that Might & Delight made a beautiful game about being a badger caring for her cubs. Now they’ve released a free add-on. Once a day for a month, find food for your cubs. Or they will die. I love this not only because it’s a free addition to a game I already…
The new standalone version of the infamous mod is now available on Steam’s Early Access program, so I went to have a look at what changed. The answer: better graphics and even less supplies to be found. I played some of the original mod, so I was excited to try the standalone version. It definitely…
Typing of the Dead: Overkill is amazing already. It’s a game where you kill zombies by typing words like “Brains”. Apparently that wasn’t enough, so with Filth of the Dead, they’ve added in what appears to be all of Urban Dictionary. Between the weird things that normally come up (“wafer thin mint”, “electric boogaloo”) and…

It’s part of Cards Against Humanity’s ’12 Days of Holiday Bullshit.’ Best of all? It’s free. Created by Zach Gage, Doug Wilson, and the Cards…
JackFrags is a well-known YouTuber among fans of Battlefield 4. So when he says he thinks there’s a giant megalodon hidden in the game, people start searching. I went to observe the search effort, and it was… interesting. The backstory: JackFrags posted this video explaining his theory about the secret megalodon in BF4 and a…
The developers of Kentucky Route Zero recently released a free interactive play that takes place in the KRZ world, written by one of the game’s characters. It’s a great creepy play, and a good way to get a feel for the mood of the full game. If you don’t know it, Kentucky Route Zero is…

Is Terraria too terrestrial for you? Does FTL not have enough tedious mining? Do you play Minecraft and just wish you could be a robot instead of Steve? Well Starbound can solve all your problems. Starbounddefinitely looks familiar to Terraria players, but playing it is something different. With all the different mechanics, various races, space…
Sometimes strange things randomly show up here at Kotaku, and the latest is this red LED on a suction cup. So I stuck it to our TV and tried to see if it made me better at Battlefield. Early results point to no. At first glance, the idea behind the Hip Shot Red Dot Sight…
Oh Battlefield, I love you so much, but you are so wonky. The first expansion has been out for less than a day and someone already got trapped in an invisible mountain. Luckily, the results are pretty entertaining Battlefield 4’s first expansion, China Rising, is out today for Premium users. YouTuber xFactorgaming was playing it,…
Spelunky is a very difficult game. But of course some people aren’t satisfied with just plain difficult. Bananasaurus_Rex has already done the near-impossible solo eggplant run, so he had to invent a new challenge for himself. If you aren’t familiar with Spelunky, it’s a platformer with randomly-generated levels. If you spend too long on a…
We wanted to test the install times of both new consoles, so we plugged a PS4 into an Xbox One’s TV input and watched them race to install a game. You can see in our video, there’s a big difference in the two systems. Both the Xbox One and PS4 require all games to be…
Imagine Mr. Torgue in a tight pink shirt and hair curlers, it’s as unsettling as it sounds. That, plus a love of indie games is basically Grandma Flexington, the newest character in Borderlands 2‘s latest Thanksgiving-themed DLC. The DLC itself is only about an hour long, dropping you into Mr. Torgue’s Hunger For Violence Extravaganza…
We’ve seen an Xbox One playing through another Xbox One And an Xbox 360 through an Xbox One through an Xbox One. Also a Wii U through an Xbox One and, sure, a PS4throughan Xbox One. But what if you plug one Xbox One into itself? Because it’s certainly possible. And the results are kind…
Ever since we heard about the Xbox One’s HDMI input feature—which is intended to route HDMI devices like a cable box through it and “snap” to that program—I’ve been excited to put it to the test. Could we play another Xbox One through an Xbox One? What about an Xbox 360 hooked into an Xbox…
The PS4 has added some features, and they aren’t all so obvious. You might want to know how to turn off that speaker in your controller when it starts making noise during a game. You might want to find out how rare is that trophy you just got. Let’s take a look. First up is…
The PS4 has a bunch of new features, but one of the coolest is the ability to automatically record gameplay video, take screenshots, and broadcast to Twitch or Ustream straight from your console. Take a look at this video for a look at all the features of the PS4’s share button. One note about using…
The PS4 does move if you press down on it. Is it a problem? No. I made a video to demonstrate the “wobble” issue, and what you can do to fix it. If you’re not familiar with the PS4’s wobble, when Giant Bomb did an unboxing earlier this week, they noticed that the console would…
Flower is often cited as an example of how beautiful games can be. Part something about flower petals instead of guns, but it’s also to do with how beautifully the environment moved and responded to you. So, as a PS4 launch title, it’s a good example of how visuals have improved since Sony’s last generation…
When GTA V came out, I tested how long the mandatory 8GB installation took. 15 minutes on an Xbox 360. All next-gen games need to be installed (and are far more than 8GB), so what can you do with 15 minutes on a PS4? Quite a bit, it turns out. I had a brand-new PS4…
