ReviewsLococycle: The Kotaku Review
Lococycle is a guilty pleasure. It’s a friend you hang out with, in private. You’re not comfortable introducing it to your parents and it sure as hell isn’t winning any “games as art” arguments and the like. In all aspects, Lococycle is an incredibly stupid game. In Lococycle you play as two-wheeler I.R.I.S., manufactured as…

When Will This Shameful Act Of Licking Video Game Hardware Go Away?
The latest culprit is this cat named Sabby, who has practically made a career off of licking video game hardware in the past. Now he’s turning his sandpaper tongue to the PS4. Look at how much he’s enjoying it, too. He’s definitely quite the pretty cat. Proud of his PS4 collection, too. All photo/PS4/cat credit…

Conan O’Brien Weighs In On YouTube’s New Comment System
Or rather, he kind of pokes fun at it, like everyone else on the Internet is doing. The new Google+ integrated commenting system is meant to get rid of exactly the kind of comments that Conan is making fun of in the video above. How successful that’s been so far remains to be seen, especially…

One joystick moves you around, the other joystick shoots in the direction you push it. The challenge is in using these controls in the best possible way.…

Contrast: The Kotaku Review
Contrast starts off like all games of its mysterious, charming nature should: by not telling you much. You meet a little girl when the game loads up. A scene plays out and from it you understand you live in some parallel world where you can turn into a silhouette on demand. Only the little girl…
